2017-04-27pstore: Fix flags to enable dumps on powerpcAnkit Kumar
After commit c950fd6f201a kernel registers pstore write based on flag set. Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for powerpc architecture. On panic, kernel doesn't write message to /fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all). This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG flag.

2017-04-27dm mpath: micro-optimize the hot path relative to MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATHBart Van Assche
Instead of checking MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH, MPATHF_SAVED_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH and the no_flush flag to decide whether or not to push back a request (or bio) if there are no paths available, only clear MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH in queue_if_no_path() if no_flush has not been set. The result is that only a single bit has to be tested in the hot path to decide whether or not a request must be pushed back and also that m->lock does not have to be taken in the hot path.

2017-04-27dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loopBart Van Assche
If blk_get_request() fails, check whether the failure is due to a path being removed. If that is the case, fail the path by triggering a call to fail_path(). This avoids that the following scenario can be encountered while removing paths: * CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%. * Removing the DM device becomes impossible. Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK, and the queue is not dying, because in these cases immediate requeuing is inappropriate.

2017-04-27md/raid1: Use a new variable to count flighting sync requestsXiao Ni
In new barrier codes, raise_barrier waits if conf->nr_pending[idx] is not zero. After all the conditions are true, the resync request can go on be handled. But it adds conf->nr_pending[idx] again. The next resync request hit the same bucket idx need to wait the resync request which is submitted before. The performance of resync/recovery is degraded. So we should use a new variable to count sync requests which are in flight. I did a simple test: 1. Without the patch, create a raid1 with two disks. The resync speed: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util sdb 0.00 0.00 166.00 0.00 10.38 0.00 128.00 0.03 0.20 0.20 0.00 0.19 3.20 sdc 0.00 0.00 0.00 166.00 0.00 10.38 128.00 0.96 5.77 0.00 5.77 5.75 95.50 2.

2017-04-27bridge: add per-port broadcast flood flagMike Manning
Support for l2 multicast flood control was added in commit b6cb5ac8331b ("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag"). It allows broadcast as it was introduced specifically for unknown multicast flood control. But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to be disabled. For this purpose, introduce a flag to disable the flooding of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

The change in commit 1e2f82d1e9d1 ("statx: Kill fd-with-NULL-path support in favour of AT_EMPTY_PATH") to error on a NULL pathname to statx() is inconsistent.

2017-04-27rhashtable: Cap total number of entries to 2^31Herbert Xu
When max_size is not set or if it set to a sufficiently large value, the nelems counter can overflow. This would cause havoc with the automatic shrinking as it would then attempt to fit a huge number of entries into a tiny hash table. This patch fixes this by adding max_elems to struct rhashtable to cap the number of elements. This is set to 2^31 as nelems is not a precise count. This is sufficiently smaller than UINT_MAX that it should be safe. When max_size is set max_elems will be lowered to at most twice max_size as is the status quo.

2017-04-27KVM: x86: fix emulation of RSM and IRET instructionsLadi Prosek
On AMD, the effect of set_nmi_mask called by emulate_iret_real and em_rsm on hflags is reverted later on in x86_emulate_instruction where hflags are overwritten with ctxt->emul_flags (the kvm_set_hflags call). This manifests as a hang when rebooting Windows VMs with QEMU, OVMF, and >1 vcpu. Instead of trying to merge ctxt->emul_flags into vcpu->arch.hflags after an instruction is emulated, this commit deletes emul_flags altogether and makes the emulator access vcpu->arch.hflags using two new accessors. This way all changes, on the emulator side as well as in functions called from the emulator and accessing vcpu state with emul_to_vcpu, are preserved. More details on the bug and its manifestation with Windows and OVMF: It's a KVM bug in the interaction between SMI/SMM and NMI, specific to AMD. I believe that the SMM part explains why we started seeing this only with OVMF. KVM masks and unmasks NMI when entering and leaving SMM. When KVM emulates the RSM instruction in em_rsm, the set_nmi_mask call doesn't stick because later on in x86_emulate_instruction we overwrite arch.hflags with ctxt->emul_flags, effectively reverting the effect of the set_nmi_mask call. The AMD-specific hflag of interest here is HF_NMI_MASK. When rebooting the system, Windows sends an NMI IPI to all but the current cpu to shut them down. Only after all of them are parked in HLT will the initiating cpu finish the restart. If NMI is masked, other cpus never get the memo and the initiating cpu spins forever, waiting for hal!HalpInterruptProcessorsStarted to drop. That's the symptom we observe.

2017-04-27blk-mq-sched: alloate reserved tags out of normal poolJens Axboe
At least one driver, mtip32xx, has a hard coded dependency on the value of the reserved tag used for internal commands. While that should really be fixed up, for now let's ensure that we just bypass the scheduler tags an allocation marked as reserved. They are used for house keeping or error handling, so we can safely ignore them in the scheduler. Tested-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2017-04-27mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command headerMing Lei
mtip32xx supposes that 'request_idx' passed to .init_request() is tag of the request, and use that as request's tag to initialize command header. After MQ IO scheduler is in, request tag assigned isn't same with the request index anymore, so cause strange hardware failure on mtip32xx, even whole system panic is triggered. This patch fixes the issue by initializing command header via request's real tag. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
