      dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax · 569d0365
      Dan Williams authored
      If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
      read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
      gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
      does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
      with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
      SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
      break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
      map pages.
      
      In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
      pages.  We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
      path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
      drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
      to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
      option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
      This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.
      
      Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
      there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
      generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
      struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
      kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
      conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
      long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
      order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
      pfn_to_page().

      ext2: auto disable dax instead of failing mount · b4b5798c
      Dan Williams authored
      Bring the ext2 filesystem in line with xfs that only warns and continues
      when the "-o dax" option is specified to mount and the backing device
      does not support dax. This is in preparation for removing dax support
      from devices that do not enable get_user_pages() operations on dax
      mappings. In other words 'gup' support is required and configurations
      that were using so called 'page-less' dax will be converted back to
      using the page cache.
      
      Removing the broken 'page-less' dax support is a pre-requisite for
      removing the "EXPERIMENTAL" warning when mounting a filesystem in dax
      mode.

      mm, dax: introduce pfn_t_special() · 785a3fab
      Dan Williams authored
      In support of removing the VM_MIXEDMAP indication from DAX VMAs,
      introduce pfn_t_special() for drivers to indicate that _PAGE_SPECIAL
      should be used for DAX ptes. This also helps identify drivers like
      dccssblk that only want to use DAX in a read-only fashion without
      get_user_pages() support.
      
      Ideally we could delete axonram and dcssblk DAX support, but if we need
      to keep it better make it explicit that axonram and dcssblk only support
      a sub-set of DAX due to missing _PAGE_DEVMAP support.

      mm: Fix devm_memremap_pages() collision handling · 77dd66a3
      Jan H. Schönherr authored
      If devm_memremap_pages() detects a collision while adding entries
      to the radix-tree, we call pgmap_radix_release(). Unfortunately,
      the function removes *all* entries for the range -- including the
      entries that caused the collision in the first place.
      
      Modify pgmap_radix_release() to take an additional argument to
      indicate where to stop, so that only newly added entries are removed
      from the tree.

      mm: Fix memory size alignment in devm_memremap_pages_release() · 10a0cd6e
      Jan H. Schönherr authored
      The functions devm_memremap_pages() and devm_memremap_pages_release() use
      different ways to calculate the section-aligned amount of memory. The
      latter function may use an incorrect size if the memory region is small
      but straddles a section border.
      
      Use the same code for both.

       "A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
        to handle regression reports.
      
         - The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
           management rework.
      
           The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
           interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
           engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
           assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
           to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.
      
           If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
           raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
           as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
           fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
           reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.
      
         - Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
           class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
           differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.

      Adam Borowski authored
      The blackfin architecture has seen no maintainer action of any kind since
      April 2015.  No new code, no pull requests, no acks to patches, no response
      to mails, nothing.
      
      The web site has an expired certificate (expiration Sep 2017, issued in
      2013), the mailing list sees no answers either, with one exception:

      But, Aaron doesn't seem to respond to queries either.

      x86/ldt: Make LDT pgtable free conditional · 7f414195
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      Andy prefers to be paranoid about the pagetable free in the error path of
      write_ldt(). Make it conditional and warn whenever the installment of a
      secondary LDT fails.
