<id>149fc787353f65b7e72e05e7b75d34863266c3e2</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a sparse warning by using rcu_dereference().  Technically this is a
bug and a sufficiently aggressive compiler could reload the `real_parent'
pointer outside the protection of the rcu lock (and access freed memory),
but I think it's pretty unlikely to happen.

Provide a generic helper for setting up an io_uring worker. Returns a
task_struct so that the caller can do whatever setup is needed, then call
wake_up_new_task() to kick it into gear.

Add a kernel_clone_args member, io_thread, which tells copy_process() to
mark the task with PF_IO_WORKER.

<title>sched: Remove USER_PRIO, TASK_USER_PRIO and MAX_USER_PRIO</title>

<id>9d061ba6bc170045857f3efe0bba5def30188d4d</id>
<content type='text'>
The only remaining use of MAX_USER_PRIO (and USER_PRIO) is the
SCALE_PRIO() definition in the PowerPC Cell architecture's Synergistic
Processor Unit (SPU) scheduler. TASK_USER_PRIO isn't used anymore.

Commit fe443ef2ac42 ("[POWERPC] spusched: Dynamic timeslicing for
SCHED_OTHER") copied SCALE_PRIO() from the task scheduler in v2.6.23.

Commit a4ec24b48dde ("sched: tidy up SCHED_RR") removed it from the task
scheduler in v2.6.24.

Commit 3ee237dddcd8 ("sched/prio: Add 3 macros of MAX_NICE, MIN_NICE and
NICE_WIDTH in prio.h") introduced NICE_WIDTH much later.

With:

  MAX_USER_PRIO = USER_PRIO(MAX_PRIO)

                = MAX_PRIO - MAX_RT_PRIO

       MAX_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH

  MAX_USER_PRIO = MAX_RT_PRIO + NICE_WIDTH - MAX_RT_PRIO

  MAX_USER_PRIO = NICE_WIDTH

MAX_USER_PRIO can be replaced by NICE_WIDTH to be able to remove all the
{*_}USER_PRIO defines.

Commit d46523ea32a7 ("[PATCH] fix MAX_USER_RT_PRIO and MAX_RT_PRIO")
was introduced due to a a small time period in which the realtime patch
set was using different values for MAX_USER_RT_PRIO and MAX_RT_PRIO.

This is no longer true, i.e. now MAX_RT_PRIO == MAX_USER_RT_PRIO.

Get rid of MAX_USER_RT_PRIO and make everything use MAX_RT_PRIO
instead.

 "These update the CPPC cpufreq driver and intel_pstate (which involves
  updating the cpufreq core and the schedutil governor) and make
  janitorial changes in the ACPI code handling processor objects.

  Specifics:

   - Rework the passive-mode "fast switch" path in the intel_pstate
     driver to allow it receive the minimum (required) and target
     (desired) performance information from the schedutil governor so as
     to avoid running some workloads too fast (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Make the intel_pstate driver allow the policy max limit to be
     increased after the guaranteed performance value for the given CPU
     has increased (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Clean up the handling of CPU coordination types in the CPPC cpufreq
     driver and make it export frequency domains information to user
     space via sysfs (Ionela Voinescu).

   - Fix the ACPI code handling processor objects to use a correct
     coordination type when it fails to map frequency domains and drop a
     redundant CPU map initialization from it (Ionela Voinescu, Punit
     Agrawal)"

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:

 - a few random little subsystems

 - almost all of the MM patches which are staged ahead of linux-next
   material. I'll trickle to post-linux-next work in as the dependents
   get merged up.

Subsystems affected by this patch series: kthread, kbuild, ide, ntfs,
ocfs2, arch, and mm (slab-generic, slab, slub, dax, debug, pagecache,
gup, swap, shmem, memcg, pagemap, mremap, hmm, vmalloc, documentation,
kasan, pagealloc, memory-failure, hugetlb, vmscan, z3fold, compaction,
oom-kill, migration, cma, page-poison, userfaultfd, zswap, zsmalloc,
uaccess, zram, and cleanups).

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (200 commits)
  mm: cleanup kstrto*() usage
  mm: fix fall-through warnings for Clang
  mm: slub: convert sysfs sprintf family to sysfs_emit/sysfs_emit_at
  mm: shmem: convert shmem_enabled_show to use sysfs_emit_at
  mm:backing-dev: use sysfs_emit in macro defining functions
  mm: huge_memory: convert remaining use of sprintf to sysfs_emit and neatening
  mm: use sysfs_emit for struct kobject * uses
  mm: fix kernel-doc markups
  zram: break the strict dependency from lzo
  zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set up
  zram: support page writeback
  mm/process_vm_access: remove redundant initialization of iov_r
  mm/zsmalloc.c: rework the list_add code in insert_zspage()
  mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration
  mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning
  mm/zswap: make struct kernel_param_ops definitions const
  userfaultfd/selftests: hint the test runner on required privilege
  userfaultfd/selftests: fix retval check for userfaultfd_open()
  userfaultfd/selftests: always dump something in modes
  userfaultfd: selftests: make __{s,u}64 format specifiers portable
  ...

<title>mm: extract might_alloc() debug check</title>

<id>95d6c701f4ca7c44dc148d664f604541266a2333</id>
<content type='text'>
Extracted from slab.h, which seems to have the most complete version
including the correct might_sleep() check.  Roll it out to slob.c.

Motivated by a discussion with Paul about possibly changing call_rcu
behaviour to allocate memory, but only roughly every 500th call.

There are a lot fewer places in the kernel that care about whether
allocating memory is allowed or not (due to deadlocks with reclaim code)
than places that care whether sleeping is allowed.  But debugging these
also tends to be a lot harder, so nice descriptive checks could come in
handy.  I might have some use eventually for annotations in drivers/gpu.

Note that unlike fs_reclaim_acquire/release gfpflags_allow_blocking does
not consult the PF_MEMALLOC flags.  But there is no flag equivalent for
GFP_NOWAIT, hence this check can't go wrong due to
memalloc_no*_save/restore contexts.  Willy is working on a patch series
which might change this:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200625113122.7540-7-willy@infradead.org/

I think best would be if that updates gfpflags_allow_blocking(), since
there's a ton of callers all over the place for that already.
