If there is an error queueing an iscsi command in iscsi_queuecommand(), for
example if the transport fails to take the command in
sessuin->tt->xmit_task(), then the error path can call
iscsi_complete_task() without first aquiring the back_lock as
required. This can lead to things like ITT pool can get corrupt, resulting
in duplicate ITTs being sent out.
The solution is to hold the back_lock around iscsi_complete_task() calls,
and to add a little commenting to help others understand when back_lock
must be held.

The percpu member of this structure is declared as:
struct ... ** __percpu member;
So its type is:
__percpu pointer to pointer to struct ...
But looking at how it's used, its type should be:
pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ...
and it should thus be declared as:
struct ... * __percpu *member;
So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of this
structures.
This silents a few Sparse's warnings like:
warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
expected void const [noderef] <asn:3> *__vpp_verify

Since commit ad67b74d24 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
the virtual memory layout printed during boot up contains "ptrval"
instead of actual addresses.
Instead of changing the printing to "%px", and leaking virtual memory
layout information again, just remove the printing completely, cfr.
e.g. commits 071929dbdd ("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory
layout") and 31833332f7 ("m68k/mm: Stop printing the virtual memory
layout").
All interesting information (actual section sizes) is already printed by
mem_init_print_info() just above anyway.

Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes, but some
drivers/file systems mistakenly return error numbers. Now that all
drivers/file systems have been converted to use the vm_fault_t return
type, change the type definition to no longer be compatible with 'int'.
By making it an unsigned int, the function prototype becomes
incompatible with a function which returns int. Sparse will detect any
attempts to return a value which is not a VM_FAULT code.
VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed to avoid
conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.

There are several early memory allocations in arch/ code that use
memblock_phys_alloc() to allocate memory, convert the returned physical
address to the virtual address and then set the allocated memory to
zero.
Exactly the same behaviour can be achieved simply by calling
memblock_alloc(): it allocates the memory in the same way as
memblock_phys_alloc(), then it performs the phys_to_virt() conversion
and clears the allocated memory.
Replace the longer sequence with a simpler call to memblock_alloc().

The pte_alloc_one_kernel() function allocates a page using
__get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL) when mm initialization is complete and
memblock_phys_alloc() on the earlier stages. The physical address of
the page allocated with memblock_phys_alloc() is converted to the
virtual address and in the both cases the allocated page is cleared
using clear_page().
The code is simplified by replacing __get_free_page() with
get_zeroed_page() and by replacing memblock_phys_alloc() with
memblock_alloc().

Patch series "memblock: simplify several early memory allocation", v4.
These patches simplify some of the early memory allocations by replacing
usage of older memblock APIs with newer and shinier ones.
Quite a few places in the arch/ code allocated memory using a memblock
API that returns a physical address of the allocated area, then
converted this physical address to a virtual one and then used memset(0)
to clear the allocated range.
More recent memblock APIs do all the three steps in one call and their
usage simplifies the code.
It's important to note that regardless of API used, the core allocation
is nearly identical for any set of memblock allocators: first it tries
to find a free memory with all the constraints specified by the caller
and then falls back to the allocation with some or all constraints
disabled.
The first three patches perform the conversion of call sites that have
exact requirements for the node and the possible memory range.
The fourth patch is a bit one-off as it simplifies openrisc's
implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel(), and not only the memblock
usage.
The fifth patch takes care of simpler cases when the allocation can be
satisfied with a simple call to memblock_alloc().
The sixth patch removes one-liner wrappers for memblock_alloc on arm and
unicore32, as suggested by Christoph.
This patch (of 6):
There are a several places that allocate memory using memblock APIs that
return a physical address, convert the returned address to the virtual
address and frequently also memset(0) the allocated range.
Update these places to use memblock allocators already returning a
virtual address. Use memblock functions that clear the allocated memory
instead of calling memset(0) where appropriate.
The calls to memblock_alloc_base() that were not followed by memset(0)
are replaced with memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw(). Since the latter does
not panic() when the allocation fails, the appropriate panic() calls are
added to the call sites.

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5.
Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972
This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on
top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ).
Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've
done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short:
- RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent)
- I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise
One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically,
measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast
copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies
the benefits of each part of the patchset.
Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with
many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178
4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the
no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance).
This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was
that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5%
or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the
no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram.
Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit
Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches
(aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for
weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does
more compression than decompression).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing
Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as
expected.
RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no
difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on
top of the benefit from Matt's patches).
Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches.
Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here,
the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as
on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational
error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation,
of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this
is probably within the noise.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing
One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very
slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes
the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have
a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line
like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next"
has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect -
it's small enough not to upset the overall findings.
This patch (of 3):
When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This
adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them
using run-length encoding.
This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy
data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal.
Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases.
This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible
(i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot
decompress new bitstreams).

Use kvzalloc() instead of kvmalloc() and memset().
Also, make use of the struct_size() helper instead of the open-coded
version in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

When booting an allmodconfig kernel, there are a lot of false-positives.
With a message like this 'UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in...' with a call
trace that follows.
UBSAN warnings are a result of enabling noisy CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT
which is disabled by default if HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y.
It's noisy even if don't have efficient unaligned access, e.g. people
often add __cacheline_aligned_in_smp in structs, but forget to align
allocations of such struct (kmalloc() give 8-byte alignment in worst
case).
Rework so that when building a allmodconfig kernel that turns everything
into '=m' or '=y' will turn off UBSAN_ALIGNMENT.

Since commit 1751e8a6cb ("Rename superblock flags (MS_xyz ->
SB_xyz)"), scripts/gdb should be updated to replace MS_xyz with SB_xyz.
This change didn't directly affect the running operation of scripts/gdb
until commit e262e32d6b "vfs: Suppress MS_* flag defs within the
kernel unless explicitly enabled" removed the definitions used by
constants.py.
Update constants.py.in to utilise the new internal flags, matching the
implementation at fs/proc_namespace.c::show_sb_opts.
Note to stable, e262e32d6b landed in v5.0-rc1 (which was just
released), so we'll want this picked back to 5.0 stable once this patch
hits mainline (akpm just picked it up). Without this, debugging a
kernel a kernel via GDB+QEMU is broken in the 5.0 release.

atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)
Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t
type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows.
This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to
use-after-free situation and be exploitable.
The variable kcov.refcount is used as pure reference counter. Convert
it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
**Important note for maintainers:
Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c have
different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts.
The full comparison can be seen in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57
and it is hopefully soon in state to be merged to the documentation
tree. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t
provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't
have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage.
For the kcov.refcount it might make a difference
in following places:
- kcov_put(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

This slightly optimizes the kernel/configs.c build.
bin2c is not very efficient because it converts a data file into a huge
array to embed it into a *.c file.
Instead, we can use the .incbin directive.
Also, this simplifies the code; Makefile is cleaner, and the way to get
the offset/size of the config_data.gz is more straightforward.
I used the "asm" statement in *.c instead of splitting it into *.S
because MODULE_* tags are not supported in *.S files.
I also cleaned up kernel/.gitignore; "config_data.gz" is unneeded
because the top-level .gitignore takes care of the "*.gz" pattern.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};
instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Currently, when writing
echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
/proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0. That quickly
crashes the system.
This commit sets the max and min value for file-max. The max value is
set to long int. Any higher value cannot currently be used as the
percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers.
Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(). This function does not report error when
min or max are exceeded. Which means if a value largen that long int is
written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be
kept. There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and
__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min
or max value are exceeded. However this has the potential to break
userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch.

proc_get_long() is a funny function. It uses simple_strtoul() and for a
good reason. proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and
return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check
against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values. However,
simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny
things like the following to happen:
echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
0
(Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.)
On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not
return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything
other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to
be more lenient.
Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static
parse strtoul_lenient() which:
- fails on overflow with -ERANGE
- returns the trailing characters to the caller
The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial
fail on overflow right now. Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded. So
we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but
accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are
overflows. So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not
special-case this based on the number of chars.

autofs does not expect the pipe it is given to have O_NONBLOCK set -
specifically if __kernel_write() in autofs_write() returns -EAGAIN, this
is treated as a fatal error and the pipe is closed.
For safety autofs should, therefore, clear the O_NONBLOCK flag.
Releases of systemd prior to 8th February 2019 used
pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC)
and thus (inadvertently) set this flag.

Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.
In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is
the one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system
users can optionally use it.
The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.
Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed
to do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but
now that no longer works.
I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing
this then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option
name and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too
hard.
But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help
of some utility package maintainers.
Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a
start.

The goal of this patch is to reduce contention of ep_poll_callback()
which can be called concurrently from different CPUs in case of high
events rates and many fds per epoll. Problem can be very well
reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or eventfd) from many
threads, while consumer thread does polling. In other words this patch
increases the bandwidth of events which can be delivered from sources to
the poller by adding poll items in a lockless way to the list.
The main change is in replacement of the spinlock with a rwlock, which
is taken on read in ep_poll_callback(), and then by adding poll items to
the tail of the list using xchg atomic instruction. Write lock is taken
everywhere else in order to stop list modifications and guarantee that
list updates are fully completed (I assume that write side of a rwlock
does not starve, it seems qrwlock implementation has these guarantees).
The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1]
which starts threads which generate N events each. The test ends when
all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread:
spinlock
========
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 6402 12495
16 7045 22709
32 7395 43268
rwlock + xchg
=============
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 10038 7969
16 12178 13138
32 13223 24199
According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly
increased, thus execution time is reduced.
This patch was tested with different sort of microbenchmarks and
artificial delays (e.g. "udelay(get_random_int() & 0xff)") introduced
in kernel on paths where items are added to lists.

Original comment "Activate ep->ws since epi->ws may get deactivated at
any time" indeed sounds loud, but it is incorrect, because the path
where we check epi->ws is a path where insert to ovflist happens, i.e.
ep_scan_ready_list() has taken ep->mtx and waits for this callback to
finish, thus ep_modify() (which unregisters wakeup source) waits for
ep_scan_ready_list().
Here in this patch I simply call ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu(), which is a bit
extra for this path (indirectly protected by main ep->mtx, so even rcu
is not needed), but I do not want to create another naked
__ep_pm_stay_awake() variant only for this particular case, so rcu variant
is just better for all the cases.

Patch series "use rwlock in order to reduce ep_poll_callback()
contention", v3.
The last patch targets the contention problem in ep_poll_callback(),
which can be very well reproduced by generating events (write to pipe or
eventfd) from many threads, while consumer thread does polling.
The following are some microbenchmark results based on the test [1]
which starts threads which generate N events each. The test ends when
all events are successfully fetched by the poller thread:
spinlock
========
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 6402 12495
16 7045 22709
32 7395 43268
rwlock + xchg
=============
threads events/ms run-time ms
8 10038 7969
16 12178 13138
32 13223 24199
According to the results bandwidth of delivered events is significantly
increased, thus execution time is reduced.
This patch (of 4):
All coming events are stored in FIFO order and this is also should be
applicable to ->ovflist, which originally is stack, i.e. LIFO.
Thus to keep correct FIFO order ->ovflist should reversed by adding
elements to the head of the read list but not to the tail.

Presently C99 style comments are removed unconditionally before actual
patch validity check happens. This is a problem for some third party
projects which use checkpatch.pl but do not allow C99 style comments.
This patch adds yet another variable, named C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE. If
it is included in the --ignore command line or config file options list,
C99 comments in the patch are reported as errors.
Tested by processing a patch with a C99 style comment, it passes the
check just fine unless '--ignore C99_COMMENT_TOLERANCE' is present in
.checkpatch.conf.
