Commit 9a2620c877454 ("bnx2x: prevent WARN during driver unload")
switched the napi/busy_lock locking mechanism from spin_lock() into
spin_lock_bh(), breaking inter-operability with netconsole, as netpoll
disables interrupts prior to calling our napi mechanism.
This switches the driver into using atomic assignments instead of the
spinlock mechanisms previously employed.
Based on initial patch from Yuval Mintz & Ariel Elior
I basically added softirq starvation avoidance, and mixture
of atomic operations, plain writes and barriers.
Note this slightly reduces the overhead for this driver when no
busy_poll sockets are in use.

The code sets the expiry value of the timer to a relative value and
starts it with hrtimer_start_expires. That's fine, but that only works
once. The timer is started in relative mode, so the expiry value gets
overwritten with the absolut expiry time (now + expiry).
So once the timer expired, a new call to hrtimer_start_expires results
in an immidiately expired timer, because the expiry value is
already in the past.
Use the proper mechanisms to (re)start the timer in the intended way.

The networking updates from David Miller removed the iocb argument from
sendmsg and recvmsg (in commit 1b784140474e: "net: Remove iocb argument
from sendmsg and recvmsg"), but the crypto code had added new instances
of them.
When I pulled the crypto update, it was a silent semantic mis-merge, and
I overlooked the new warning messages in my test-build. I try to fix
those in the merge itself, but that relies on me noticing. Oh well.

Impose ordering on accesses of d_inode and d_flags to avoid the need to do
this:
if (!dentry->d_inode || d_is_negative(dentry)) {
when this:
if (d_is_negative(dentry)) {
should suffice.
This check is especially problematic if a dentry can have its type field set
to something other than DENTRY_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL (as in
unionmount).
What we really need to do is stick a write barrier between setting d_inode and
setting d_flags and a read barrier between reading d_flags and reading
d_inode.

Supply two functions to test whether a filesystem's own dentries are positive
or negative (d_really_is_positive() and d_really_is_negative()).
The problem is that the DCACHE_ENTRY_TYPE field of dentry->d_flags may be
overridden by the union part of a layered filesystem and isn't thus
necessarily indicative of the type of dentry.
Normally, this would involve a negative dentry (ie. ->d_inode == NULL) having
->d_layer.lower pointed to a lower layer dentry, DCACHE_PINNING_LOWER set and
the DCACHE_ENTRY_TYPE field set to something other than DCACHE_MISS_TYPE - but
it could also involve, say, a DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE being overridden to
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE if a 0,0 chardev is detected in the top layer.
However, inside a filesystem, when that fs is looking at its own dentries, it
probably wants to know if they are really negative or not - and doesn't care
about the fallthrough bits used by the union.
To this end, a filesystem should normally use d_really_is_positive/negative()
when looking at its own dentries rather than d_is_positive/negative() and
should use d_inode() to get at the inode.
Anyone looking at someone else's dentries (this includes pathwalk) should use
d_is_xxx() and d_backing_inode().

In flush_busy_ctxs() and blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), regardless of how many
ctxs assigned to one hctx, they will all loop hctx->ctx_map.map_size
times. Here hctx->ctx_map.map_size is a const ALIGN(nr_cpu_ids, 8) / 8.
Especially, flush_busy_ctxs() is in hot code path. And it's unnecessary.
Change ->map_size to contain the actually mapped software queues, so we
only loop for as many iterations as we have to.
And remove cpumask setting and nr_ctx count in blk_mq_init_cpu_queues()
since they are all re-done in blk_mq_map_swqueue().

exit_aio() currently serializes killing io contexts. Each context
killing ends up having to do percpu_ref_kill(), which in turns has
to wait for an RCU grace period. This can take a long time, depending
on the number of contexts. And there's no point in doing them serially,
when we could be waiting for all of them in one fell swoop.

I suspect this doesn't show up for most anyone because software
algorithms typically don't have a sense of being too busy. However,
when working with the Freescale CAAM driver it will return -EBUSY on
occasion under heavy -- which resulted in dm-crypt deadlock.
After checking the logic in some other drivers, the scheme for
crypt_convert() and it's callback, kcryptd_async_done(), were not
correctly laid out to properly handle -EBUSY or -EINPROGRESS.
Fix this by using the completion for both -EBUSY and -EINPROGRESS. Now
crypt_convert()'s use of completion is comparable to
af_alg_wait_for_completion(). Similarly, kcryptd_async_done() follows
the pattern used in af_alg_complete().
Before this fix dm-crypt would lockup within 1-2 minutes running with
the CAAM driver. Fix was regression tested against software algorithms
on PPC32 and x86_64, and things seem perfectly happy there as well.

Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled. The following modes are defined:
- DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
corrupted block results in -EIO.
- DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
not block the read.
- DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
block is discovered.
In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.
The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

If a device is used as the root filesystem, it can't be built
off of devices which are within the root filesystem (just like
command line arguments to root=). For this reason, Linux has a
pseudo-filesystem for root= and MD initialization (based on the
function name_to_dev_t) which handles different ways of specifying
devices including PARTUUID and major:minor.
Switch to using name_to_dev_t() in dm_get_device(). Rather than
having DM assume that all things which are not major:minor are paths in
an already-mounted filesystem, change dm_get_device() to first attempt
to look up the device in the filesystem, and if not found it will fall
back to using name_to_dev_t().
In terms of backwards compatibility, there are some cases where
behavior will be different:
- If you have a file in the current working directory named 1:2 and
you initialze DM there, then it will try to use that file rather
than the disk with that major:minor pair as a backing device.
- Similarly for other bdev types which name_to_dev_t() knows how to
interpret, the previous behavior was to repeatedly check for the
existence of the file (e.g., while waiting for rootfs to come up)
but the new behavior is to use the name_to_dev_t() interpretation.
For example, if you have a file named /dev/ubiblock0_0 which is
a symlink to /dev/sda3, but it is not yet present when DM starts
to initialize, then the name_to_dev_t() interpretation will take
precedence.
These incompatibilities would only show up in really strange setups
with bad practices so we shouldn't have to worry about them.

In the kernel command-line, previously, root=1:2jakshflaksjdhfa would
be accepted and interpreted just like root=1:2. This patch adds
stricter checking so that additional characters after major:minor are
rejected by root=.
The goal of this change is to help in unifying DM's interpretation of
its block device argument by using existing kernel code (name_to_dev_t).
But DM rejects malformed major:minor pairs, it seems reasonable for
root= to reject them as well.

Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.
Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq
This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the
md->io_pool and md->rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

dm_mq_queue_rq() is in atomic context so care must be taken to not
sleep -- as such GFP_ATOMIC is used for the md->bs bioset allocations
and dm-mpath's call to blk_get_request(). In the future the bioset
allocations will hopefully go away (by removing support for partial
completions of bios in a cloned request).
Also prepare for supporting DM blk-mq ontop of old-style request_fn
device(s) if a new dm-mod 'use_blk_mq' parameter is set. The kthread
will still be used to queue work if blk-mq is used ontop of old-style
request_fn device(s).

Commit e5863d9ad ("dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on
blk-mq devices") served as the first step toward fully utilizing blk-mq
in request-based DM -- it enabled stacking an old-style (request_fn)
request_queue ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). That first step
didn't improve performance of DM multipath ontop of fast blk-mq devices
(e.g. NVMe) because the top-level old-style request_queue was severely
limited by the queue_lock.
The second step offered here enables stacking a blk-mq request_queue
ontop of the underlying blk-mq device(s). This unlocks significant
performance gains on fast blk-mq devices, Keith Busch tested on his NVMe
testbed and offered this really positive news:
"Just providing a performance update. All my fio tests are getting
roughly equal performance whether accessed through the raw block
device or the multipath device mapper (~470k IOPS). I could only push
~20% of the raw iops through dm before this conversion, so this latest
tree is looking really solid from a performance standpoint."

Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.
Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue. The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
echo 20 > /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline
The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).
This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.
By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue. But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements. Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway). This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.
Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective. In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).
Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time. If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

Request-based DM's dm_request_fn() is so fast to pull requests off the
queue that steps need to be taken to promote merging by avoiding request
processing if it makes sense.
If the current request would've merged with previous request let the
current request stay on the queue longer.

Commit 7eaceaccab ("block: remove per-queue plugging") didn't justify

On really fast storage it can be beneficial to delay running the
request_queue to allow the elevator more opportunity to merge requests.
Otherwise, it has been observed that requests are being sent to
q->request_fn much quicker than is ideal on IOPS-bound backends.

The old dm_request() method used for q->make_request_fn had a branch for
request-based DM support but it isn't needed given that
dm_init_request_based_queue() sets it to the standard blk_queue_bio()
anyway.
Cleanup dm_init_md_queue() to be DM device-type agnostic and have
dm_setup_md_queue() properly finish queue setup based on DM device-type
(bio-based vs request-based).
A followup block patch can be made to remove the export for
blk_queue_bio() now that DM no longer calls it directly.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Add BQL support to via-rhine, from Tino Reichardt.
2) Integrate SWITCHDEV layer support into the DSA layer, so DSA drivers
can support hw switch offloading. From Floria Fainelli.
3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
from Madhu Challa.
4) Many ipv4 FIB lookup optimizations from Alexander Duyck.
5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
Borkmann.
6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
rose, etc. And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
implement MPLS support. All from Eric Biederman.
7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.
8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
up route lookups even further. From Alexander Duyck.
9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf. In particular, in the case where
an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
table, we expand the table much more sanely.
10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
Biederman.
11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.
12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
established in the main hash table. Much less false sharing since
hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
underneath. From Eric Dumazet.
13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.
14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6. From
Hannes Frederic Sowa.
15) Hash network namespace into IP frag IDs, also from Hannes Frederic
Sowa.
16) Convert PTP get/set methods to use 64-bit time, from Richard
Cochran.
