In P8+, Workload Optimized Frequency(WOF) provides the capability to
boost the cpu frequency based on the utilization of the other cpus
running in the chip. The On-Chip-Controller(OCC) firmware will control
the achievability of these frequencies depending on the power headroom
available in the chip. Currently the ultra-turbo frequencies provided
by this feature are exported along with the turbo and sub-turbo
frequencies as scaling_available_frequencies. This patch will export
the ultra-turbo frequencies separately as scaling_boost_frequencies in
WOF enabled systems. This patch will add the boost sysfs file which
can be used to disable/enable ultra-turbo frequencies.

The cpufreq core has gone though lots of updates in recent times, but on
many occasions the documentation wasn't updated along with the code.
This patch tries to catchup the documentation with the code.
Also add Rafael and Viresh as the contributors to the documentation.
Based on a patch from Claudio Scordino.

This doesn't have any benefit apart from saving a small amount of memory
when it is disabled. The ifdef hackery in the code makes it dirty
unnecessarily.
Clean it up by removing the Kconfig option completely. Few defconfigs
are also updated and CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS is replaced with
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT now in them, as users wanted stats to be enabled.

do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from
userspace. If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM
victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full
request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous. Make
sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to
terminate.

the oom victim has access to all memory reserves to make a forward
progress to exit easier. But iomap_file_buffered_write and other
callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request. We need to
check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead.
As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to
hook into those. All callers that work with the page cache are calling
iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there. dax_iomap_actor
has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the
userspace directly. Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a
single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the
given len.

Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops
when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page.
show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for
page_zone().
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000
IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160
This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since
their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB. [1] An example of such
systems is desribed below. 0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and
this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by
struct page.
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable
Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by
extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a
given range. show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2.
A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when
the system has 64GiB or more memory. [1] When the start address of a
memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e. a memory range is not
aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a
kernel oops. This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with
more than 64GiB of memory. This patch-set fixes this issue.
Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not
test the start section.
Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone()
to return valid [start, end).
Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit
bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64
systems"), which was accepted to 3.9. However, this patch-set depends
on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit
5f0f2887f4de ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in
test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4.
So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4.
[1] 'Commit bdee237c0343 ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on
large-memory x86-64 systems")'
This patch (of 2):
test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by
section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function
is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is
always aligned by section.
Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn.
Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs
to a zone.

Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a
'-fpic' flag by default. This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail
although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS.
This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the
script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

The iput() from atomic context was a bad idea: if after igrab() somebody

Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.
Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.
This was reported here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4
And fixes this WARNING:
[ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60
The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.
If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).
Fixes: 90b0fc26d5db ("zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime")

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:
====================
Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, they are:
1) Stash ctinfo 3-bit field into pointer to nf_conntrack object from
sk_buff so we only access one single cacheline in the conntrack
hotpath. Patchset from Florian Westphal.
2) Don't leak pointer to internal structures when exporting x_tables
ruleset back to userspace, from Willem DeBruijn. This includes new
helper functions to copy data to userspace such as xt_data_to_user()
as well as conversions of our ip_tables, ip6_tables and arp_tables
clients to use it. Not surprinsingly, ebtables requires an ad-hoc
update. There is also a new field in x_tables extensions to indicate
the amount of bytes that we copy to userspace.
3) Add nf_log_all_netns sysctl: This new knob allows you to enable
logging via nf_log infrastructure for all existing netnamespaces.
Given the effort to provide pernet syslog has been discontinued,
let's provide a way to restore logging using netfilter kernel logging
facilities in trusted environments. Patch from Michal Kubecek.
4) Validate SCTP checksum from conntrack helper, from Davide Caratti.
5) Merge UDPlite conntrack and NAT helpers into UDP, this was mostly
a copy&paste from the original helper, from Florian Westphal.
6) Reset netfilter state when duplicating packets, also from Florian.
7) Remove unnecessary check for broadcast in IPv6 in pkttype match and
nft_meta, from Liping Zhang.
8) Add missing code to deal with loopback packets from nft_meta when
used by the netdev family, also from Liping.
9) Several cleanups on nf_tables, one to remove unnecessary check from
the netlink control plane path to add table, set and stateful objects
and code consolidation when unregister chain hooks, from Gao Feng.
10) Fix harmless reference counter underflow in IPVS that, however,
results in problems with the introduction of the new refcount_t
type, from David Windsor.
11) Enable LIBCRC32C from nf_ct_sctp instead of nf_nat_sctp,
from Davide Caratti.
12) Missing documentation on nf_tables uapi header, from Liping Zhang.
13) Use rb_entry() helper in xt_connlimit, from Geliang Tang.

Currently, under certain circumstances vhost_init_is_le does just a part
of the initialization job, and depends on vhost_reset_is_le being called
too. For this reason vhost_vq_init_access used to call vhost_reset_is_le
when vq->private_data is NULL. This is not only counter intuitive, but
also real a problem because it breaks vhost_net. The bug was introduced to
vhost_net with commit 2751c9882b94 ("vhost: cross-endian support for
legacy devices"). The symptom is corruption of the vq's used.idx field
(virtio) after VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND was issued as a part of the vhost
shutdown on a vq with pending descriptors.
Let us make sure the outcome of vhost_init_is_le never depend on the state
it is actually supposed to initialize, and fix virtio_net by removing the
reset from vhost_vq_init_access.
With the above, there is no reason for vhost_reset_is_le to do just half
of the job. Let us make vhost_reset_is_le reinitialize is_le.

This reverts commit c7070619f3408d9a0dffbed9149e6f00479cf43b.
This has been shown to regress on some ARM systems:
by forcing on DMA API usage for ARM systems, we have inadvertently
kicked open a hornets' nest in terms of cache-coherency. Namely that
unless the virtio device is explicitly described as capable of coherent
DMA by firmware, the DMA APIs on ARM and other DT-based platforms will
assume it is non-coherent. This turns out to cause a big problem for the
likes of QEMU and kvmtool, which generate virtio-mmio devices in their
guest DTs but neglect to add the often-overlooked "dma-coherent"
property; as a result, we end up with the guest making non-cacheable
accesses to the vring, the host doing so cacheably, both talking past
each other and things going horribly wrong.
We are working on a safer work-around.

====================
mlxsw: Introduce TC Flower offload using TCAM
This patchset introduces support for offloading TC cls_flower and actions
to Spectrum TCAM-base policy engine.
The patchset contains patches to allow work with flexible keys and actions
which are used in Spectrum TCAM.
It also contains in-driver infrastructure for offloading TC rules to TCAM HW.
The TCAM management code is simple and limited for now. It is going to be
extended as a follow-up work.
The last patch uses the previously introduced infra to allow to implement
cls_flower offloading. Initially, only limited set of match-keys and only
a drop and forward actions are supported.
As a dependency, this patchset introduces parman - priority array
area manager - as a library.
v1->v2:
- patch11:
- use __set_bit and __test_and_clear_bit as suggested by DaveM
- patch16:
- Added documentation to the API functions as suggested by Tom Herbert
- patch17:
- use __set_bit and __clear_bit as suggested by DaveM

Extend the existing setup_tc ndo call and allow to offload cls_flower
rules. Only limited set of dissector keys and actions are supported now.
Use previously introduced ACL infrastructure to offload cls_flower rules
to be processed in the HW.

The driver that offloads flower rules needs to know with which priority
user inserted the rules. So add this information into offload struct.

Add ACL core infrastructure for Spectrum ASIC. This infra provides an
abstraction layer over specific HW implementations. There are two basic
objects used. One is "rule" and the second is "ruleset" which serves as a
container of multiple rules. In general, within one ruleset the rules are
allowed to have multiple priorities and masks. Each ruleset is bound to
either ingress or egress a of port netdevice.
The initial TCAM implementation is very simple and limited. It utilizes
parman lsort manager to take care of TCAM region layout.

This introduces a infrastructure for management of linear priority
areas. Priority order in an array matters, however order of items inside
a priority group does not matter.
As an initial implementation, L-sort algorithm is used. It is quite
trivial. More advanced algorithm called P-sort will be introduced as a
follow-up. The infrastructure is prepared for other algos.
Alongside this, a testing module is introduced as well.

Each entry which is matched during ACL lookup points to an action set.
This action set contains up to three separate actions. If more actions
are needed to be chained, the extended set is created to hold them
in KVD linear area.
This patch implements handling of sets and encoding of actions.
Currectly, only two actions are supported. Drop and forward. Forward
action uses PBS pointer to KVD linear area, so the action code needs to
take care of this as well.

Hardware supports matching on so called "flexible keys". The idea is to
assemble an optimal key to use for matching according to the fields in
packet (elements) requested by user. Certain sets of elements are
combined into pre-defined blocks. There is a picker to find needed blocks.
Keys consist of 1..n blocks.
Alongside with that, an initial portion of elements is introduced in order
to be able to offload basic cls_flower rules.
Picked keys are cached so multiple rules could share them.
There is an encode function provided that takes care of encoding key and
mask values according to given key.

Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem :
I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback.
This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket,
however the receiving side is a user space application so does not
have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that
sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the
assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do
retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same
reason.
It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc
in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense
on the receive path.
