The unused bytes of the features array should be zeroed, but the start index was one
byte too early. This caused the device features byte to be overwritten by 0.
The compliance test for the CEC_S_LOG_ADDRS ioctl didn't catch this because it tested
byte continuation with the second device features byte being 0 :-(

staging media drivers tend to have a build time dependency on the
media support. In particular, the newly added pulse8 cec driver can
only be a loadable module if MEDIA_SUPPORT=m, but its build dependency
is on a 'bool' symbol (MEDIA_CEC), so a randconfig build can fail
with pulse8_cec built-in:
drivers/staging/built-in.o: In function `pulse8_disconnect':
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x114): undefined reference to `cec_unregister_adapter'
drivers/staging/built-in.o: In function `pulse8_irq_work_handler':
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x1bc): undefined reference to `cec_transmit_done'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x1d8): undefined reference to `cec_received_msg'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x1f4): undefined reference to `cec_transmit_done'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x218): undefined reference to `cec_transmit_done'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x23c): undefined reference to `cec_transmit_done'
drivers/staging/built-in.o: In function `pulse8_connect':
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x844): undefined reference to `cec_allocate_adapter'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0x8a4): undefined reference to `cec_delete_adapter'
dgnc_utils.c:(.text+0xa10): undefined reference to `cec_register_adapter'
Originally, MEDIA_CEC itself was a tristate symbol, which would have
prevented this, but since 5bb2399a4fe4 ("[media] cec: fix Kconfig
dependency problems"), it doesn't work like that any more.
This encloses all of the staging media drivers in a CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT
dependency in Kconfig, which solves the problem by enforcing that none
of the drivers can be built-in if the media core is a module.

Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.
Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures. Keep it simple and use KiB.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

NR_FILE_PAGES is the number of file pages.
NR_FILE_MAPPED is the number of mapped file pages.
NR_ANON_PAGES is the number of mapped anon pages.
This is unhelpful naming as it's easy to confuse NR_FILE_MAPPED and
NR_ANON_PAGES for mapped pages. This patch renames NR_ANON_PAGES so we

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.
In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"
This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node. While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;
1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
allocated from. This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
page allocator paths.
2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
always be different to a single-zone node.
it was scheduled on as a result.
3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing. This
mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.
4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.
The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.
Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.
The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident

problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in

reclaim was avoided in both cases. There appears to be a large difference
in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.
stutter
-------
stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous
memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file.
The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.
This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.
1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
have a positive impact on compaction success rates.
2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
is required.
3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.
VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based. If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that. The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state. The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet. There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state. Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change. There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.
That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.
It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.
Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

V1F indicates that the time accuracy may have been compromised because
of a voltage drop (possibly only temporary) below VLOW1, which stops the
temperature compensation. When the time is set, the accuracy is
restored, so V1F should be cleared in order to indicate this and to be
able to detect the next temperature compensation loss. This is the same
principle as for V2F, which is cleared when the time is set to indicate
that the time is no longer invalid and to be able to detect the next
data loss.

According to the application manual of the RX8900, the RESET bit must be
set to 1 to prevent a timer update while setting the time. This also
resets the subsecond counter. The application manual of the RV-8803 does
not mention such a requirement, and it says that the 100th Seconds
register is cleared when writing to the Seconds register, but using the
RESET bit for the RV-8803 too should not be an issue and is probably
safer.
This change also ensures that the RESET bit is initialized properly in
all cases. Indeed, all the registers must be initialized if the voltage
has been lower than VLOW2 (triggering V2F), but not low enough to
trigger a POR.

The I²C NACK issue of the RV-8803 may occur after any I²C START
condition, depending on the timings. Consequently, the workaround must
be applied for all the I²C transfers.
This commit abstracts the I²C transfer code into register access
functions. This avoids duplicating the I²C workaround everywhere. This
also avoids the duplication of the code handling the return value of
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). Error messages are issued in case of
definitive register access failures (if the workaround fails). This
change also makes the I²C transfer return value checks consistent.

using tm_wday = ffs(reg) to fill tm_wday from the register value is

tm_wday = ffs(reg) - 1, but tm_wday = ilog2(reg) works as well and is

So far in mv_cesa_ablkcipher_dma_req_init, if an error is thrown while
the tdma chain is built there is a memory leak. This issue exists
because the chain is assigned later at the end of the function, so the
cleanup function is called with the wrong version of the chain.

Some of our "for_each_xyz()" macro constructs make gcc unhappy about
lack of braces around if-statements inside or outside the loop, because
the loop construct itself has a "if-then-else" statement inside of it.
The resulting warnings look something like this:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c: In function ‘i915_dump_lrc’:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_debugfs.c:2103:6: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous ‘else’ [-Wparentheses]
if (ctx != dev_priv->kernel_context)
^
even if the code itself is fine.
Since the warning is fairly easy to avoid by adding a braces around the
if-statement near the for_each_xyz() construct, do so, rather than
disabling the otherwise potentially useful warning.
(The if-then-else statements used in the "for_each_xyz()" constructs are
designed to be inherently safe even with no braces, but in this case
it's quite understandable that gcc isn't really able to tell that).
This finally leaves the standard "allmodconfig" build with just a
handful of remaining warnings, so new and valid warnings hopefully will
stand out.
