Pull spi updates from Mark Brown:
"The nicest things about this release for me is seeing some older
drivers getting some cleanups and modernization, it's really good to
see things moving forwards even for older drivers.
In content terms it's a fairly humdrum release but where the work has
been happening is great.
- Support for simultaneous use of internal and GPIO chip selects for
devices that require the use of the internal select even if it's
not connected and a GPIO is actually routed to the slave device.
- A major rework and cleanup of the fsl-espi driver from Heiner
Kallweit which should make it work substantially better.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata
Pull another libata patch from Tejun Heo:
"One more patch from Adam added.
It makes libata skip probing for NCQ prio unless the feature is
explicitly requested by the user. This is necessary because some
controllers lock up after the optional feature is probed"
* 'for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata:
ata: avoid probing NCQ Prio Support if not explicitly requested
|
|
Previously, when the ata device was being initialized we were
probing for NCQ prio support by checking the identify information
and also checking the log page that holds information about ncq prio
support.
This caused an error on an Intel HBA so the code is now updated to
only probe for NCQ prio support when the sysfs variable controlling
NCQ prio support is enabled.
tj: Update formatting, switch to spin_[un]lock_irq() and update
locking a bit, use REVALIDATE instead of RESET, and return -EIO
instead of -EINVAL on config failure.

Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo:
- Adam added opt-in ATA command priority support.
- There are machines which hide multiple nvme devices behind an ahci
BAR. Dan Williams proposed a solution to force-switch the mode but
deemed too hackishd. People are gonna discuss the proper way to
handle the situation in nvme standard meetings. For now, detect and
warn about the situation.
- Low level driver specific changes.
Christoph Hellwig pipes in about the hidden nvme warning:
"I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to
implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other
'innovation' VMD that we work around that way.
But Intel management has apparently decided that they don't want to
spend more cycles on this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that
doesn't force this broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel
has enough information to implement something like this.
So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and
spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused"

Recent dm-flakey fixes, to have reads error out during the "down"
interval, made it so that the previous read behaviour is no longer
available.
It is useful to have reads complete like normal but have writes error
out, so make it possible again with a new "error_writes" feature.

"Here's the new driver core patches for 4.10-rc1.
Big thing here is the nice addition of "functional dependencies" to

great job to Rafael for stepping up and implementing it. It's been
tested for longer than the 4.9-rc1 date, we held off on merging it
earlier in order to feel more comfortable about it.
Other than that, it's just a handful of small other patches, some good
cleanups to the mess that is the firmware class code, and we have a
test driver for the deferred probe logic.

Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the "big" staging/iio pull request for 4.10-rc1.
Not as big as 4.9 was, but still just over a thousand changes. We
almost broke even of lines added vs. removed, as the slicoss driver
was removed (got a "clean" driver for the same hardware through the
netdev tree), and some iio drivers were also dropped, but I think we
ended up adding a few thousand lines to the source tree in the end.
Other than that it's a lot of minor fixes all over the place, nothing
major stands out at all.

merge conflict with Al's vfs tree in the lustre code, but the

The huge numbers above come from insane number of async_work-s allocated
and queued by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node.
The problem is caused by btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node() queuing more and more
works if the number of delayed items is above BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND. The
worker func (btrfs_async_run_delayed_root) processes at least
BTRFS_DELAYED_BATCH items (if they are present in the list). So, the machinery
works as expected while the list is almost empty. As soon as it is getting
bigger, worker func starts to process more than one item at a time, it takes
longer, and the chances to have async_works queued more than needed is getting
higher.
The problem above is worsened by another flaw of delayed-inode implementation:
if async_work was queued in a throttling branch (number of items >=
BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK), corresponding worker func won't quit until
the number of items < BTRFS_DELAYED_BACKGROUND / 2. So, it is possible that
the func occupies CPU infinitely (up to 30sec in my experiments): while the
func is trying to drain the list, the user activity may add more and more
items to the list.
The patch fixes both problems in straightforward way: refuse queuing too
many works in btrfs_wq_run_delayed_node and bail out of worker func if
at least BTRFS_DELAYED_WRITEBACK items are processed.
Changed in v2: remove support of thresh == NO_THRESHOLD.

For non-special QPs, the port value becomes non-zero only at the
RESET-to-INIT transition. If the QP has not undergone that transition,
its port number value is still zero.
If such a QP is destroyed before being moved out of the RESET state,
subtracting one from the qp port number results in a negative value.
Using that negative value as an index into the qp1_proxy array
results in an out-of-bounds array reference.
Fix this by testing that the QP type is one that uses qp1_proxy before
using the port number. For special QPs of all types, the port number is
specified at QP creation time.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.
- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.
- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.
- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.
- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.
- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.
- Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.
- Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.
- A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
here"
