Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub- division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new functionality below. Summary: - PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple pmem-namespace per region has grown. - Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap / truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices. - Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8 kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported in the machine-check to be added to the list. - DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory device. - Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error, and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory controller more than necessary" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (39 commits) /dev/dax: fix Kconfig dependency build breakage dax: use correct dev_t value dax: convert devm_create_dax_dev to PTR_ERR libnvdimm, namespace: allow creation of multiple pmem-namespaces per region libnvdimm, namespace: lift single pmem limit in scan_labels() libnvdimm, namespace: filter out of range labels in scan_labels() libnvdimm, namespace: enable allocation of multiple pmem namespaces libnvdimm, namespace: update label implementation for multi-pmem libnvdimm, namespace: expand pmem device naming scheme for multi-pmem libnvdimm, region: update nd_region_available_dpa() for multi-pmem support libnvdimm, namespace: sort namespaces by dpa at init libnvdimm, namespace: allow multiple pmem-namespaces per region at scan time tools/testing/nvdimm: support for sub-dividing a pmem region libnvdimm, namespace: unify blk and pmem label scanning libnvdimm, namespace: refactor uuid_show() into a namespace_to_uuid() helper libnvdimm, label: convert label tracking to a linked list libnvdimm, region: move region-mapping input-paramters to nd_mapping_desc nvdimm: reduce duplicated wpq flushes libnvdimm: clear the internal poison_list when clearing badblocks pmem: reduce kmap_atomic sections to the memcpys only ...

by making sure we call iov_iter_advance() on original iov_iter even if direct_IO (done on its copy) has returned 0. It's a no-op for old iov_iter flavours and does the right thing (== truncation of the stuff we'd allocated, but not filled) in ITER_PIPE case.

Merge my system logging cleanups, triggered by the broken '\n' patches. The line continuation handling has been broken basically forever, and the code to handle the system log records was both confusing and dubious. And it would do entirely the wrong thing unless you always had a terminating newline, partly because it couldn't actually see whether a message was marked KERN_CONT or not (but partly because the LOG_CONT handling in the recording code was rather confusing too). This re-introduces a real semantically meaningful KERN_CONT, and fixes the few places I noticed where it was missing. There are probably more missing cases, since KERN_CONT hasn't actually had any semantic meaning for at least four years (other than the checkpatch meaning of "no log level necessary, this is a continuation line"). This also allows the combination of KERN_CONT and a log level. In that case the log level will be ignored if the merging with a previous line is successful, but if a new record is needed, that new record will now get the right log level. That also means that you can at least in theory combine KERN_CONT with the "pr_info()" style helpers, although any use of pr_fmt() prefixing would make that just result in a mess, of course (the prefix would end up in the middle of a continuing line). * printk-cleanups: printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines printk: re-organize log_output() to be more legible printk: split out core logging code into helper function printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines

After backporting commit ee44b4bc ("dlm: use sctp 1-to-1 API") series to a kernel with an older workqueue which didn't use RCU yet, it was noticed that we are freeing the workqueues in dlm_lowcomms_stop() too early as free_conn() will try to access that memory for canceling the queued works if any. This issue was introduced by commit 0d737a8c as before it such attempt to cancel the queued works wasn't performed, so the issue was not present. This patch fixes it by simply inverting the free order.

That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right thing to do. And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can actually see the continuation marker. Not that anybody seems to really bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own message stitching. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Avoid some duplicate logic now that we can return early, and update the comments for the new LOG_CONT world order. This also stops the continuation flushing from just using random record flags for the flushing action, instead taking the flags from the proper original line and updating them as we add continuations to it.

The code that actually decides how to log the message (whether to put it directly into the record log, whether to append it to an existing buffered log, or whether to start a new buffered log) is fairly non-obvious code in the middle of the vprintk_emit() function. Splitting that code up into a helper function makes it easier to understand, but perhaps more importantly also allows for the code to just return early out of the helper function once it has made the decision about where the new log content goes.

Long long ago the kernel log buffer was a buffered stream of bytes, very much like stdio in user space. It supported log levels by scanning the stream and noticing the log level markers at the beginning of each line, but if you wanted to print a partial line in multiple chunks, you just did multiple printk() calls, and it just automatically worked. Except when it didn't, and you had very confusing output when different lines got all mixed up with each other. Then you got fragment lines mixing with each other, or with non-fragment lines, because it was traditionally impossible to tell whether a printk() call was a continuation or not. To at least help clarify the issue of continuation lines, we added a KERN_CONT marker back in 2007 to mark continuation lines: 47492527 ("printk: add KERN_CONT annotation"). That continuation marker was initially an empty string, and didn't actuall make any semantic difference. But it at least made it possible to annotate the source code, and have check-patch notice that a printk() didn't need or want a log level marker, because it was a continuation of a previous line. To avoid the ambiguity between a continuation line that had that KERN_CONT marker, and a printk with no level information at all, we then in 2009 made KERN_CONT be a real log level marker which meant that we could now reliably tell the difference between the two cases. 5fd29d6c ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels and newlines") and we could take advantage of that to make sure we didn't mix up continuation lines with lines that just didn't have any loglevel at all. Then, in 2012, the kernel log buffer was changed to be a "record" based log, where each line was a record that has a loglevel and a timestamp. You can see the beginning of that conversion in commits e11fea92 ("kmsg: export printk records to the /dev/kmsg interface") 7ff9554b ("printk: convert byte-buffer to variable-length record buffer") with a number of follow-up commits to fix some painful fallout from that conversion. Over all, it took a couple of months to sort out most of it. But the upside was that you could have concurrent readers (and writers) of the kernel log and not have lines with mixed output in them. And one particular pain-point for the record-based kernel logging was exactly the fragmentary lines that are generated in smaller chunks. In order to still log them as one recrod, the continuation lines need to be attached to the previous record properly. However the explicit continuation record marker that is actually useful for this exact case was actually removed in aroundm the same time by commit 61e99ab8 ("printk: remove the now unnecessary "C" annotation for KERN_CONT") due to the incorrect belief that KERN_CONT wasn't meaningful. The ambiguity between "is this a continuation line" or "is this a plain printk with no log level information" was reintroduced, and in fact became an even bigger pain point because there was now the whole record-level merging of kernel messages going on. This patch reinstates the KERN_CONT as a real non-empty string marker, so that the ambiguity is fixed once again. But it's not a plain revert of that original removal: in the four years since we made KERN_CONT an empty string again, not only has the format of the log level markers changed, we've also had some usage changes in this area. For example, some ACPI code seems to use KERN_CONT _together_ with a log level, and now uses both the KERN_CONT marker and (for example) a KERN_INFO marker to show that it's an informational continuation of a line. Which is actually not a bad idea - if the continuation line cannot be attached to its predecessor, without the log level information we don't know what log level to assign to it (and we traditionally just assigned it the default loglevel). So having both a log level and the KERN_CONT marker is not necessarily a bad idea, but it does mean that we need to actually iterate over potentially multiple markers, rather than just a single one. Also, since KERN_CONT was still conceptually needed, and encouraged, but didn't actually _do_ anything, we've also had the reverse problem: rather than having too many annotations it has too few, and there is bit rot with code that no longer marks the continuation lines with the KERN_CONT marker. So this patch not only re-instates the non-empty KERN_CONT marker, it also fixes up the cases of bit-rot I noticed in my own logs. There are probably other cases where KERN_CONT will be needed to be added, either because it is new code that never dealt with the need for KERN_CONT, or old code that has bitrotted without anybody noticing. That said, we should strive to avoid the need for KERN_CONT. It does result in real problems for logging, and should generally not be seen as a good feature. If we some day can get rid of the feature entirely, because nobody does any fragmented printk calls, that would be lovely. But until that point, let's at mark the code that relies on the hacky multi-fragment kernel printk's. Not only does it avoid the ambiguity, it also annotates code as "maybe this would be good to fix some day". (That said, particularly during single-threaded bootup, the downsides of KERN_CONT are very limited. Things get much hairier when you have multiple threads going on and user level reading and writing logs too). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
