Transparent huge pages can change page->flags (PG_compound_lock) without
taking Slab lock. Since THP can not break slab pages we can safely access
compound page without taking compound lock.
Specifically this patch fixes a race between compound_unlock() and slab
functions which perform page-flags updates. This can occur when
get_page()/put_page() is called on a page from slab.

When holding the mmap_sem for reading, pmd_offset_map_lock should only
run on a pmd_t that has been read atomically from the pmdp pointer,
otherwise we may read only half of it leading to this crash.

This should be a longstanding bug affecting x86 32bit PAE without THP.
Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be
affected.
With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable,
by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is
enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition
freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states.
So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad()
unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution.
This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads
the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically
with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled.
Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must
already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix
is localized there but this bug is not related to THP.
NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more
than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be
truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the
SMP race.
This bug was discovered and fully debugged by Ulrich, quote:
----
[..]
pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() loads the content of edx and
eax.
496 static inline int pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(pmd_t
*pmd)
497 {
498 /* depend on compiler for an atomic pmd read */
499 pmd_t pmdval = *pmd;
// edi = pmd pointer

...
// eax = PTE page table low address

[..]
Please note that the PMD is not read atomically. These are two "mov"
instructions where the high order bits of the PMD entry are fetched
first. Hence, the above machine code is prone to the following race.
- The PMD entry {high|low} is 0x0000000000000000.
The "mov" at 0xc0507a84 loads 0x00000000 into edx.
- A page fault (on another CPU) sneaks in between the two "mov"
instructions and instantiates the PMD.
- The PMD entry {high|low} is now 0x00000003fda38067.
The "mov" at 0xc0507a8e loads 0xfda38067 into eax.

The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the
proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time. This
means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as
though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of
-350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage.
The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom
score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to
kill. Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by
0.1% of system RAM.
On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB
on 256GB systems, for example.
This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual
memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the
oom_score_adj scale for userspace. This results in better comparison
between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace
perspective.

Remove vmtruncate_range(), and remove the truncate_range method from
struct inode_operations: only tmpfs ever supported it, and tmpfs has now
converted over to using the fallocate method of file_operations.
Update Documentation accordingly, adding (setlease and) fallocate lines.
And while we're in mm.h, remove duplicate declarations of shmem_lock() and
shmem_file_setup(): everyone is now using the ones in shmem_fs.h.

The GMA500 GPU driver uses GEM shmem objects, but with a new twist: the
backing RAM has to be below 4GB. Not a problem while the boards
supported only 4GB: but now Intel's D2700MUD boards support 8GB, and
their GMA3600 is managed by the GMA500 driver.
shmem/tmpfs has never pretended to support hardware restrictions on the
backing memory, but it might have appeared to do so before v3.1, and
even now it works fine until a page is swapped out then back in. When
read_cache_page_gfp() supplied a freshly allocated page for copy, that
compensated for whatever choice might have been made by earlier swapin
readahead; but swapoff was likely to destroy the illusion.
We'd like to continue to support GMA500, so now add a new
shmem_should_replace_page() check on the zone when about to move a page
from swapcache to filecache (in swapin and swapoff cases), with
shmem_replace_page() to allocate and substitute a suitable page (given
gma500/gem.c's mapping_set_gfp_mask GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_DMA32).
This does involve a minor extension to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache()
(the page may or may not have already been charged); and I've removed a
comment and call to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(), which in fact is
always a no-op while PageSwapCache.
Also removed optimization of an unlikely path in shmem_getpage_gfp(),
now that we need to check PageSwapCache more carefully (a racing caller
might already have made the copy). And at one point shmem_unuse_inode()
needs to use the hitherto private page_swapcount(), to guard against
racing with inode eviction.
It would make sense to extend shmem_should_replace_page(), to cover
cpuset and NUMA mempolicy restrictions too, but set that aside for now:
needs a cleanup of shmem mempolicy handling, and more testing, and ought
to handle swap faults in do_swap_page() as well as shmem.

When MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pages are freed from MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type
pageblock (and some MIGRATE_MOVABLE pages are left in it) waiting until an
allocation takes ownership of the block may take too long. The type of
the pageblock remains unchanged so the pageblock cannot be used as a
migration target during compaction.
Fix it by:
* Adding enum compact_mode (COMPACT_ASYNC_[MOVABLE,UNMOVABLE], and
COMPACT_SYNC) and then converting sync field in struct compact_control
to use it.
* Adding nr_pageblocks_skipped field to struct compact_control and
tracking how many destination pageblocks were of MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE type.
If COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE mode compaction ran fully in
try_to_compact_pages() (COMPACT_COMPLETE) it implies that there is not a
suitable page for allocation. In this case then check how if there were
enough MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks to try a second pass in
COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE mode.
* Scanning the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks (during COMPACT_SYNC and
COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE compaction modes) and building a count based on
finding PageBuddy pages, page_count(page) == 0 or PageLRU pages. If all
pages within the MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblock are in one of those three
sets change the whole pageblock type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
My particular test case (on a ARM EXYNOS4 device with 512 MiB, which means
131072 standard 4KiB pages in 'Normal' zone) is to:
- allocate 120000 pages for kernel's usage
- free every second page (60000 pages) of memory just allocated
- allocate and use 60000 pages from user space
- free remaining 60000 pages of kernel memory
(now we have fragmented memory occupied mostly by user space pages)
- try to allocate 100 order-9 (2048 KiB) pages for kernel's usage
The results:
- with compaction disabled I get 11 successful allocations
- with compaction enabled - 14 successful allocations
- with this patch I'm able to get all 100 successful allocations
NOTE: If we can make kswapd aware of order-0 request during compaction, we
can enhance kswapd with changing mode to COMPACT_ASYNC_FULL
(COMPACT_ASYNC_MOVABLE + COMPACT_ASYNC_UNMOVABLE). Please see the
following thread:

alloc_bootmem_section() derives allocation area constraints from the
specified sparsemem section. This is a bit specific for a generic memory
allocator like bootmem, though, so move it over to sparsemem.
As __alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() already retries failed allocations with
relaxed area constraints, the fallback code in sparsemem.c can be removed
and the code becomes a bit more compact overall.

When transparent_hugepage_enabled() is used outside mm/, such as in
arch/x86/xx/tlb.c:
+ if (!cpu_has_invlpg || vma->vm_flags & VM_HUGETLB
+ || transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma)) {
+ flush_tlb_mm(vma->vm_mm);
is_vma_temporary_stack() isn't referenced in huge_mm.h, so it has compile
errors:
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c: In function `flush_tlb_range':
arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:324:4: error: implicit declaration of function `is_vma_temporary_stack' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
Since is_vma_temporay_stack() is just used in rmap.c and huge_memory.c, it
is better to move it to huge_mm.h from rmap.h to avoid such errors.

Programs using /proc/kpageflags need to know about the various flags. The
<linux/kernel-page-flags.h> provides them and the comments in the file
indicate that it is supposed to be used by user-level code. But the file
is not installed.
Install the headers and mark the unstable flags as out-of-bounds. The
page-type tool is also adjusted to not duplicate the definitions

Even if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n gcc genereates code for some VM_BUG_ON()
for example VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page) || !PageHead(page)); in
do_huge_pmd_wp_page() generates 114 bytes of code.
But they mostly disappears when I split this VM_BUG_ON into two:
-VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page) || !PageHead(page));
+VM_BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page));
+VM_BUG_ON(!PageHead(page));
weird... but anyway after this patch code disappears completely.

Sometimes we want to check some expressions correctness at compile time.
"(void)(e);" or "if (e);" can be dangerous if the expression has
side-effects, and gcc sometimes generates a lot of code, even if the
expression has no effect.
This patch introduces macro BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() for such checks, it
forces a compilation error if expression is invalid without any extra
code.

The rmap walker checking page table references has historically ignored
references from VMAs that were not part of the memcg that was being
reclaimed during memcg hard limit reclaim.
When transitioning global reclaim to memcg hierarchy reclaim, I missed
that bit and now references from outside a memcg are ignored even during
global reclaim.
Reverting back to traditional behaviour - count all references during
global reclaim and only mind references of the memcg being reclaimed
during limit reclaim would be one option.
However, the more generic idea is to ignore references exactly then when
they are outside the hierarchy that is currently under reclaim; because
only then will their reclamation be of any use to help the pressure
situation. It makes no sense to ignore references from a sibling memcg
and then evict a page that will be immediately refaulted by that sibling
which contributes to the same usage of the common ancestor under
reclaim.
The solution: make the rmap walker ignore references from VMAs that are
not part of the hierarchy that is being reclaimed.
Flat limit reclaim will stay the same, hierarchical limit reclaim will
mind the references only to pages that the hierarchy owns. Global
reclaim, since it reclaims from all memcgs, will be fixed to regard all
references.

This patch stops reclaim/compaction entering sync reclaim as this was
only intended for lumpy reclaim and an oversight. Page migration has
its own logic for stalling on writeback pages if necessary and memory
compaction is already using it.
Waiting on page writeback is bad for a number of reasons but the primary
one is that waiting on writeback to a slow device like USB can take a
considerable length of time. Page reclaim instead uses
wait_iff_congested() to throttle if too many dirty pages are being
scanned.

stalling on dirty pages during page reclaim now depends on
wait_iff_congested().

3.4.0-rc2 lumpyremove-v2 is patch one from this series
3.4.0-rc2 nosync-v2r3 is the full series
Removing lumpy reclaim saves almost 900 bytes of text whereas the full
series removes 1200 bytes.

There are behaviour changes in the series and so tests were run with
monitoring of ftrace events. This disrupts results so the performance
results are distorted but the new behaviour should be clearer.

It looks like here that the full series regresses performance but as
ftrace showed no usage of wait_iff_congested() or sync reclaim I am
assuming it's a disruption due to monitoring. Other data such as memory
usage, page IO, swap IO all looked similar.
Running a benchmark with a plain DD showed nothing very interesting.
The full series stalled in wait_iff_congested() slightly less but stall
times on vanilla kernels were marginal.
Running a benchmark that hammered on file-backed mappings showed stalls
due to congestion but not in sync writebacks

Reclaim statistics are not radically changed. The stall times in kswapd
are massive but it is clear that it is due to calls to congestion_wait()
and that is almost certainly the call in balance_pgdat(). Otherwise
stalls due to dirty pages are non-existant.
I ran a benchmark that stressed high-order allocation. This is very
artifical load but was used in the past to evaluate lumpy reclaim and
compaction. Generally I look at allocation success rates and latency
figures.

Success rates are completely hosed for 3.4-rc2 which is almost certainly
due to commit fe2c2a106663 ("vmscan: reclaim at order 0 when compaction
is enabled"). I expected this would happen for kswapd and impair
allocation success rates (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/25/166) but I did
not anticipate this much a difference: 80% less scanning, 37% less
reclaim by kswapd
In comparison, reclaim/compaction is not aggressive and gives up easily
which is the intended behaviour. hugetlbfs uses __GFP_REPEAT and would
be much more aggressive about reclaim/compaction than THP allocations
are. The stress test above is allocating like neither THP or hugetlbfs
but is much closer to THP.
Mainline is now impaired in terms of high order allocation under heavy
load although I do not know to what degree as I did not test with
__GFP_REPEAT. Keep this in mind for bugs related to hugepage pool
resizing, THP allocation and high order atomic allocation failures from
network devices.
In terms of congestion throttling, I see the following for this test
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: congestion_wait
Direct number congest waited 3 0 0 0
Direct time congest waited 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
Direct full congest waited 0 0 0 0

KSwapd time conditional waited 4980ms 0ms 0ms 0ms
KSwapd full conditional waited 49 0 0 0
The "conditional waited" times are the most interesting as this is
directly impacted by the number of dirty pages encountered during scan.
As lumpy reclaim is no longer scanning contiguous ranges, it is finding
fewer dirty pages. This brings wait times from about 5 seconds to 0.
kswapd itself is still calling congestion_wait() so it'll still stall but
it's a lot less.
In terms of the type of IO we were doing, I see this
FTrace Reclaim Statistics: mm_vmscan_writepage
Direct writes anon sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes anon async 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file sync 0 0 0 0
Direct writes file async 0 0 0 0
Direct writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0

KSwapd writes file async 822629 0 0 0
KSwapd writes mixed sync 0 0 0 0
KSwapd writes mixed async 0 0 0 0
In 3.2, kswapd was doing a bunch of async writes of pages but
reclaim/compaction was never reaching a point where it was doing sync
IO. This does not guarantee that reclaim/compaction was not calling
wait_on_page_writeback() but I would consider it unlikely. It indicates
that merging patches 2 and 3 to stop reclaim/compaction calling
wait_on_page_writeback() should be safe.
This patch:
Lumpy reclaim had a purpose but in the mind of some, it was to kick the
system so hard it trashed. For others the purpose was to complicate
vmscan.c. Over time it was giving softer shoes and a nicer attitude but
memory compaction needs to step up and replace it so this patch sends
lumpy reclaim to the farm.
The tracepoint format changes for isolating LRU pages with this patch
applied. Furthermore reclaim/compaction can no longer queue dirty pages
in pageout() if the underlying BDI is congested. Lumpy reclaim used
this logic and reclaim/compaction was using it in error.

The swap token code no longer fits in with the current VM model. It
does not play well with cgroups or the better NUMA placement code in
development, since we have only one swap token globally.
It also has the potential to mess with scalability of the system, by
increasing the number of non-reclaimable pages on the active and
inactive anon LRU lists.
Last but not least, the swap token code has been broken for a year
without complaints, as reported by Konstantin Khlebnikov. This suggests
we no longer have much use for it.
The days of sub-1G memory systems with heavy use of swap are over. If
we ever need thrashing reducing code in the future, we will have to
implement something that does scale.

Commit f56f821feb7b ("mm: extend prefault helpers to fault in more than
PAGE_SIZE") added in the new functions: fault_in_multipages_writeable()
and fault_in_multipages_readable().
However, we currently see:
include/linux/pagemap.h:492: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function
include/linux/pagemap.h:492: note: 'ret' was declared here
Unlike a lot of gcc nags, this one appears somewhat legit. i.e. passing
in an invalid negative value of "size" does make it look like all the
conditionals in there would be bypassed and the uninitialized value would
be returned.

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
"New features include:
- Rewrite the O_DIRECT code so that it can share the same coalescing
and pNFS functionality as the page cache code.
- Allow the server to provide hints as to when we should use pNFS,
and when it is more efficient to read and write through the
metadata server.
- NFS cache consistency updates:
* Use the ctime to emulate a change attribute for NFSv2/v3 so that
all NFS versions can share the same cache management code.
* New cache management code will only look at the change attribute
and size attribute when deciding whether or not our cached data
is still valid or not.
* Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on writes in cases such as
O_DIRECT, where we don't care about data cache consistency, or
when we have a write delegation, and know that our cache is still
consistent.
* Don't request NFSv4 post-op attributes on operations such as
COMMIT, where there are no expected metadata updates.
* Don't request NFSv4 directory post-op attributes in cases where
the operations themselves already return change attribute
updates: i.e. operations such as OPEN, CREATE, REMOVE, LINK and
RENAME.
- Speed up 'ls' and friends by using READDIR rather than READDIRPLUS
if we detect no attempts to lookup filenames.
- Improve the code sharing between NFSv2/v3 and v4 mounts
- NFSv4.1 state management efficiency improvements
- More patches in preparation for NFSv4/v4.1 migration functionality."

This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of
allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their
work a word at a time.
David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified
it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically
useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic
version, completing the circle.
But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that
it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty
much most random string functions.
David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported
that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty
easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their
private versions with the generic code.
* generic-string-functions:
sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function

Pull i2c-embedded changes from Wolfram Sang:
"Major changes:
- lots of devicetree additions for existing drivers. I tried hard to
make sure the bindings are proper. In more complicated cases, I
requested acks from people having more experience with them than
me. That took a bit of extra time and also some time went into
discussions with developers about what bindings are and what not.
I have the feeling that the workflow with bindings should be
improved to scale better. I will spend some more thought on
this...
- i2c-muxes are succesfully used meanwhile, so we dropped
EXPERIMENTAL for them and renamed the drivers to a standard pattern
to match the rest of the subsystem. They can also be used with
devicetree now.
- ixp2000 was removed since the whole platform goes away.
- cleanups (strlcpy instead of strcpy, NULL instead of 0)
- The rest is typical driver fixes I assume.
All patches have been in linux-next at least since v3.4-rc6."

This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more
complicated, but a lot more generic.
In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on
both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of
machine details. For example, if you can rely on a fast population
count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your
optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that.
NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is
not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian. Why? Because
on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can
inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that.
(The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is
the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version
of it. And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular
header file, that would be lovely)
The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows:
- WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm
uses.
- has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it.
It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to
an intermediate "data" field it can set.
This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside
the hot loops.
- "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced,
and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had
the first zero. This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows
the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte"
question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the
first one to contain a zero.
If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which
looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask()
phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either
or" case.
- The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()"
(to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into
"zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the
zero byte).
The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary
for the normal string routines. But dentry name hashing needs it, so
if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it.
This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry
hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces. This
gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in
the previous commit when moving over to the generic version.

The tile support for multiple-size huge pages requires tagging
the hugetlb PTE with a "super" bit for PTEs that are multiples of
the basic size of a pagetable span. To set that bit properly
we need to tweak the PTe in make_huge_pte() based on the vma.
This change provides the API for a subsequent tile-specific
change to use.

The change adds some infrastructure for managing tile pmd's more generally,
using pte_pmd() and pmd_pte() methods to translate pmd values to and
from ptes, since on TILEPro a pmd is really just a nested structure
holding a pgd (aka pte). Several existing pmd methods are moved into
this framework, and a whole raft of additional pmd accessors are defined
that are used by the transparent hugepage framework.
The tile PTE now has a "client2" bit. The bit is used to indicate a
transparent huge page is in the process of being split into subpages.
This change also fixes a generic bug where the return value of the
generic pmdp_splitting_flush() was incorrect.

Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Compared to Rob Clark's RFC I've ditched the prepare/finish hooks
and corresponding ioctls on the dma_buf file. The major reason for
that is that many people seem to be under the impression that this is
also for synchronization with outstanding asynchronous processsing.
I'm pretty massively opposed to this because:
- It boils down reinventing a new rather general-purpose userspace
synchronization interface. If we look at things like futexes, this
is hard to get right.
- Furthermore a lot of kernel code has to interact with this
synchronization primitive. This smells a look like the dri1 hw_lock,
a horror show I prefer not to reinvent.
- Even more fun is that multiple different subsystems would interact
here, so we have plenty of opportunities to create funny deadlock
scenarios.
I think synchronization is a wholesale different problem from data
sharing and should be tackled as an orthogonal problem.
Now we could demand that prepare/finish may only ensure cache
coherency (as Rob intended), but that runs up into the next problem:
We not only need mmap support to facilitate sw-only processing nodes
in a pipeline (without jumping through hoops by importing the dma_buf
into some sw-access only importer), which allows for a nicer
ION->dma-buf upgrade path for existing Android userspace. We also need
mmap support for existing importing subsystems to support existing
userspace libraries. And a loot of these subsystems are expected to
export coherent userspace mappings.
So prepare/finish can only ever be optional and the exporter /needs/
to support coherent mappings. Given that mmap access is always
somewhat fallback-y in nature I've decided to drop this optimization,
instead of just making it optional. If we demonstrate a clear need for
this, supported by benchmark results, we can always add it in again
later as an optional extension.
Other differences compared to Rob's RFC is the above mentioned support
for mapping a dma-buf through facilities provided by the importer.
Which results in mmap support no longer being optional.
Note that this dma-buf mmap patch does _not_ support every possible
insanity an existing subsystem could pull of with mmap: Because it
does not allow to intercept pagefaults and shoot down ptes importing
subsystems can't add some magic of their own at these points (e.g. to
automatically synchronize with outstanding rendering or set up some
special resources). I've done a cursory read through a few mmap
implementions of various subsytems and I'm hopeful that we can avoid
this (and the complexity it'd bring with it).
Additonally I've extended the documentation a bit to explain the hows
and whys of this mmap extension.
In case we ever want to add support for explicitly cache maneged
userspace mmap with a prepare/finish ioctl pair, we could specify that
userspace needs to mmap a different part of the dma_buf, e.g. the
range starting at dma_buf->size up to dma_buf->size*2. This works
because the size of a dma_buf is invariant over it's lifetime. The
exporter would obviously need to fall back to coherent mappings for
both ranges if a legacy clients maps the coherent range and the
architecture cannot suppor conflicting caching policies. Also, this
would obviously be optional and userspace needs to be able to fall
back to coherent mappings.
v2:
- Spelling fixes from Rob Clark.
- Compile fix for !DMA_BUF from Rob Clark.
- Extend commit message to explain how explicitly cache managed mmap
support could be added later.
- Extend the documentation with implementations notes for exporters
that need to manually fake coherency.
v3:
- dma_buf pointer initialization goof-up noticed by Rebecca Schultz
Zavin.

alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked
our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."
Fix up trivial arch/sparc/Kconfig and lib/Makefile conflicts.
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition.
lib: Sparc's strncpy_from_user is generic enough, move under lib/
kernel: Move REPEAT_BYTE definition into linux/kernel.h
sparc: Increase portability of strncpy_from_user() implementation.
sparc: Optimize strncpy_from_user() zero byte search.
sparc: Add full proper error handling to strncpy_from_user().
sparc32: use the common implementation of alloc_thread_info_node()

Pull GPIO driver changes from Grant Likely:
"Lots of gpio changes, both to core code and drivers.
Changes do touch architecture code to remove the need for separate
arm/gpio.h includes in most architectures.
Some new drivers are added, and a number of gpio drivers are converted
to use irq_domains for gpio inputs used as interrupts. Device tree
support has been amended to allow multiple gpio_chips to use the same
device tree node.
Remaining changes are primarily bug fixes."

This patch adds the BIND_CONN_TO_SESSION operation which is needed for
upcoming SP4_MACH_CRED work and useful for recovering from broken connections
without destroying the session.
