MMUv4 supports 2 concurrent page sizes: Normal and Super [4K to 16M]
So far Linux supported a single super page size for a given Normal page,
depending on the software page walking address split.
e.g. we had 11:8:13 address split for 8K page, which meant super page
was 2 ^(8+13) = 2M (given that THP size has to be PMD_SHIFT)
Now we turn this around, by allowing multiple Super Pages in Kconfig
(currently 2M and 16M only) and forcing page walker address split to
PGDIR_SHIFT and PAGE_SHIFT
For configs without Super page, things are same as before and
PGDIR_SHIFT can be hacked to get non default address split
The motivation for this change is a customer who needs 16M super page
and a 8K Normal page combo.

I notice ext4/307 fails occasionally on ppc64 host, reporting md5
checksum mismatch after moving data from original file to donor file.
The reason is that move_extent_per_page() calls __block_write_begin()
and block_commit_write() to write saved data from original inode blocks
to donor inode blocks, but __block_write_begin() not only maps buffer
heads but also reads block content from disk if the size is not block
size aligned. At this time the physical block number in mapped buffer
head is pointing to the donor file not the original file, and that
results in reading wrong data to page, which get written to disk in
following block_commit_write call.
This also can be reproduced by the following script on 1k block size ext4
on x86_64 host:
mnt=/mnt/ext4
donorfile=$mnt/donor
testfile=$mnt/testfile
e4compact=~/xfstests/src/e4compact
rm -f $donorfile $testfile
# reserve space for donor file, written by 0xaa and sync to disk to
# avoid EBUSY on EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
xfs_io -fc "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 1m" -c "fsync" $donorfile
# create test file written by 0xbb
xfs_io -fc "pwrite -S 0xbb 0 1023" -c "fsync" $testfile
# compute initial md5sum
md5sum $testfile | tee md5sum.txt
# drop cache, force e4compact to read data from disk
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# test defrag
echo "$testfile" | $e4compact -i -v -f $donorfile
# check md5sum
md5sum -c md5sum.txt
Fix it by creating & mapping buffer heads only but not reading blocks
from disk, because all the data in page is guaranteed to be up-to-date
in mext_page_mkuptodate().

Since sizeof(ext_new_group_data) > sizeof(ext_new_flex_group_data),
integer overflow could be happened.

What appears to be happening is that something has pinned the target
so it can't go into STARGET_DEL via final release and the loop in
scsi_remove_target spins endlessly until that happens.
The fix for this soft lockup is to not keep looping over a device that
we've called remove on but which hasn't gone into DEL state. This
patch will retain a simplistic memory of the last target and not keep
looping over it.

The ext4_ioctl_setflags() function which is used in the ioctls
EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS and EXT4_IOC_FSSETXATTR may return the positive value
EPERM instead of -EPERM in case of error. This bug was introduced by a
recent commit 9b7365fc.
The following program can be used to illustrate the wrong behavior:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <err.h>
#define FS_IOC_GETFLAGS _IOR('f', 1, long)
#define FS_IOC_SETFLAGS _IOW('f', 2, long)
#define FS_IMMUTABLE_FL 0x00000010
int main(void)
{
int fd;
long flags;
fd = open("file", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600);
if (fd < 0)
err(1, "open");
if (ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, &flags) < 0)
err(1, "ioctl: FS_IOC_GETFLAGS");
flags |= FS_IMMUTABLE_FL;
if (ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, &flags) < 0)
err(1, "ioctl: FS_IOC_SETFLAGS");
warnx("ioctl returned no error");
return 0;
}
Running it gives the following result:
$ strace -e ioctl ./test
ioctl(3, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, 0x7ffdbd8bfd38) = 0
ioctl(3, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, 0x7ffdbd8bfd38) = 1
test: ioctl returned no error
+++ exited with 0 +++
Running the program on a kernel with the bug fixed gives the proper result:
$ strace -e ioctl ./test
ioctl(3, FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, 0x7ffdd2768258) = 0
ioctl(3, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, 0x7ffdd2768258) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

When block group checksum is wrong, we call ext4_error() while holding
group spinlock from ext4_init_block_bitmap() or
ext4_init_inode_bitmap() which results in scheduling while in atomic.
Fix the issue by calling ext4_error() later after dropping the spinlock.

The pfn_t type uses an unsigned long to store a pfn + flags value. On a
64-bit platform the upper 12 bits of an unsigned long are never used for
storing the value of a pfn. However, this is not true on highmem
platforms, all 32-bits of a pfn value are used to address a 44-bit
physical address space. A pfn_t needs to store a 64-bit value.

: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i. e
: kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT fails to load without even any error
: message.
:
: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized. Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);
:
: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.
Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses
hlists for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for
operation immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.
The patch will also save some memory.
lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now - a 4.6
patch has been prepared to do this.

This showed up on ARC when running LMBench bw_mem tests as Overlapping
TLB Machine Check Exception triggered due to STLB entry (2M pages)
overlapping some NTLB entry (regular 8K page).
bw_mem 2m touches a large chunk of vaddr creating NTLB entries. In the
interim khugepaged kicks in, collapsing the contiguous ptes into a
single pmd. pmdp_collapse_flush()->flush_pmd_tlb_range() is called to
flush out NTLB entries for the ptes. This for ARC (by design) can only
shootdown STLB entries (for pmd). The stray NTLB entries cause the
overlap with the subsequent STLB entry for collapsed page. So make
pmdp_collapse_flush() call pte flush interface not pmd flush.
Note that originally all thp flush call sites in generic code called
flush_tlb_range() leaving it to architecture to implement the flush for
pte and/or pmd. Commit 12ebc1581ad11454 changed this by calling a new
opt-in API flush_pmd_tlb_range() which made the semantics more explicit
but failed to distinguish the pte vs pmd flush in generic code, which is
what this patch fixes.
Note that ARC can fixed w/o touching the generic pmdp_collapse_flush()
by defining a ARC version, but that defeats the purpose of generic
version, plus sementically this is the right thing to do.
Fixes STAR 9000961194: LMBench on AXS103 triggering duplicate TLB
exceptions with super pages

DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd. This simple approach
reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge
page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail. PTE table can be
allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store.
But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after
split_huge_pmd(). In most places we do this already to deal with
parallel MADV_DONTNEED.
But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due
down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX
properly.

The kptr_restrict flag, when set to 1, only prints the kernel address
when the user has CAP_SYSLOG. When it is set to 2, the kernel address
is always printed as zero. When set to 1, this needs to check whether
or not we're in IRQ.
However, when set to 2, this check is unneccessary, and produces
confusing results in dmesg. Thus, only make sure we're not in IRQ when
mode 1 is used, but not mode 2.

The existing msi-map code is fine for shifting the entire RID space
upwards, but attempting finer-grained remapping reveals a bug. It turns
out that we are mistakenly treating the msi-base part as an offset, not
as a new base to remap onto, so things get squiffy when rid-base is
nonzero. Fix this, and at the same time add a sanity check against
having msi-map-mask clash with a nonzero rid-base, as that's another
thing one can easily get wrong.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says:
====================
net: mitigating kmem_cache free slowpath
This patchset is the first real use-case for kmem_cache bulk _free_.
The use of bulk _alloc_ is NOT included in this patchset. The full use
have previously been posted here [1].
The bulk free side have the largest benefit for the network stack
use-case, because network stack is hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs, due to the amount of outstanding SKBs.
This is solved by using the new API kmem_cache_free_bulk().
Introduce new API napi_consume_skb(), that hides/handles bulk freeing
for the caller. The drivers simply need to use this call when freeing
SKBs in NAPI context, e.g. replacing their calles to dev_kfree_skb() /
dev_consume_skb_any().
Driver ixgbe is the first user of this new API.

There is an opportunity to bulk free SKBs during reclaiming of
resources after DMA transmit completes in ixgbe_clean_tx_irq. Thus,
bulk freeing at this point does not introduce any added latency.
Simply use napi_consume_skb() which were recently introduced. The
napi_budget parameter is needed by napi_consume_skb() to detect if it
is called from netpoll.

The network stack defers SKBs free, in-case free happens in IRQ or
when IRQs are disabled. This happens in __dev_kfree_skb_irq() that
writes SKBs that were free'ed during IRQ to the softirq completion
queue (softnet_data.completion_queue).
These SKBs are naturally delayed, and cleaned up during NET_TX_SOFTIRQ
in function net_tx_action(). Take advantage of this a use the skb
defer and flush API, as we are already in softirq context.
For modern drivers this rarely happens. Although most drivers do call
dev_kfree_skb_any(), which detects the situation and calls
__dev_kfree_skb_irq() when needed. This due to netpoll can call from
IRQ context.

Discovered that network stack were hitting the kmem_cache/SLUB
slowpath when freeing SKBs. Doing bulk free with kmem_cache_free_bulk
can speedup this slowpath.
NAPI context is a bit special, lets take advantage of that for bulk
free'ing SKBs.
In NAPI context we are running in softirq, which gives us certain
protection. A softirq can run on several CPUs at once. BUT the
important part is a softirq will never preempt another softirq running
on the same CPU. This gives us the opportunity to access per-cpu
variables in softirq context.
Extend napi_alloc_cache (before only contained page_frag_cache) to be
a struct with a small array based stack for holding SKBs. Introduce a
SKB defer and flush API for accessing this.
Introduce napi_consume_skb() as replacement for e.g. dev_consume_skb_any()
when running in NAPI context. A small trick to handle/detect if we
are called from netpoll is to see if budget is 0. In that case, we
need to invoke dev_consume_skb_irq().

virtio_net: better ethtool setting validation
This small set is a follow-up for the recent patches that added ethtool
get/set settings. Patch 1 changes the speed validation routine to check
if the speed is between 0 and INT_MAX (or SPEED_UNKNOWN) and patch 2 adds
port validation to virtio_net and better validation comment.
This set is on top of Michael's patch which explains that speeds from 0
to INT_MAX are valid:

We should validate the port setting that we got from the user and check

The EVB (virtual bridge) functionality should be disabled on older BE3
and Lancer chips if SR-IOV is disabled in the NIC's BIOS. This setting
is identified by the zero value of total VFs reported by the card.
The GET_HSW_CONFIG command cannot be used as it is not supported by
these older chipset's FW.

Changes since v2:
- use GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW according to Andrew's remark.
- use ePAPR compliant node name in example, thanks to Sergei for
pointing out
Changes since v1:
- removed initializing registers from Device Tree following Florian's
advice
- fixed GPIO handling for reset according to Andrew's remark.

When using device tree it is no more possible to reset the PHY at board
level. Furthermore, doing in the driver allows to power down the switch
when it is not used any more.
The patch introduces a new optional property "reset-gpios" denoting an
appropriate GPIO handle, e.g.:
reset-gpios = <&gpio0 46 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>
