Pull block bits from Jens Axboe:
"As vacation is coming up, thought I'd better get rid of my pending
changes in my for-linus branch for this iteration. It contains:
- Two patches for mtip32xx. Killing a non-compliant sysfs interface
and moving it to debugfs, where it belongs.
- A few patches from Asias. Two legit bug fixes, and one killing an
interface that is no longer in use.
- A patch from Jan, making the annoying partition ioctl warning a bit
less annoying, by restricting it to !CAP_SYS_RAWIO only.
- Three bug fixes for drbd from Lars Ellenberg.
- A fix for an old regression for umem, it hasn't really worked since
the plugging scheme was changed in 3.0.
- A few fixes from Tejun.
- A splice fix from Eric Dumazet, fixing an issue with pipe
resizing."

Pull driver Core fixes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is a number of printk() fixes, specifically a few reported by the
crazy blog program that ships in SUSE releases (that's "boot log" and
not "web log", it predates the general "blog" terminology by many
years), and the restoration of the continuation line functionality
reported by Stephen and others. Yes, the changes seem a bit big this
late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and
Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me.
The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable
kernel rules describing how some distro patches should be backported,
to hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable
kernel releases.

Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that
were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the
rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix
them reduces the value of -stable.
The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and
prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention.
To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier
to entry.
This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge
to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious"
user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on
the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available.
The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

Pull embedded i2c update from Wolfram Sang:
"This only contains one new driver which had multiple dependencies
(pinctrl, i2c-mux-rework, new devm_* functions), so I decided to wait
for rc1. Plus, it had to wait a little for the ack of a devicetree
maintainer since the bindings were not trivial enough for me to pass
through.
So, given that, I hope there is still something like the "new driver
rule", so we could have the driver in 3.5 and people can start using
it. That would make merging support for some boards easier for 3.6
since the dependency on this driver is gone then."

Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages.
In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained
because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead
of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with
some changes to the existing backends."
Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.
This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE

Pull device-mapper updates from Alasdair G Kergon:
"Improve multipath's retrying mechanism in some defined circumstances
and provide a simple reserve/release mechanism for userspace tools to
access thin provisioning metadata while the pool is in use."
* tag 'dm-3.5-changes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm:
dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
dm thin: use slab mempools
dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath
|
|
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Pull vfs changes from Al Viro.
"A lot of misc stuff. The obvious groups:
* Miklos' atomic_open series; kills the damn abuse of
->d_revalidate() by NFS, which was the major stumbling block for
all work in that area.
* ripping security_file_mmap() and dealing with deadlocks in the
area; sanitizing the neighborhood of vm_mmap()/vm_munmap() in
general.
* ->encode_fh() switched to saner API; insane fake dentry in
mm/cleancache.c gone.
* assorted annotations in fs (endianness, __user)
* parts of Artem's ->s_dirty work (jff2 and reiserfs parts)
* ->update_time() work from Josef.
* other bits and pieces all over the place.
Normally it would've been in two or three pull requests, but
signal.git stuff had eaten a lot of time during this cycle ;-/"
Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt (the
'truncate_range' inode method was removed by the VM changes, the VFS
update adds an 'update_time()' method), and in fs/btrfs/ulist.[ch] (due
to sparse fix added twice, with other changes nearby).

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it
seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and
how it works.
The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only
understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory
separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This
has tripped up a couple of users.

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.
I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

/proc/$pid/stat
We would like to have an ability to restore command line arguments and
program environment pointers but first we need to obtain them somehow.
Thus we put these values into /proc/$pid/stat. The exit_code is needed to
restore zombie tasks.

When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the
task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse
parent->children chain from arbitrary <pid> (while a parent pid is
provided in "PPid" field of /proc/<pid>/status).
So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big
process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) --
we add explicit /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children entry, because the kernel
already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.
This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

Commit b231cca4381e ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard
coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.
This made large side effect. When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message
size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message,
app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large
memory size even though it doesn't need.
Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.
The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.

This is an implementation of Andrew's proposal to extend the pagemap file
bits to report what is missing about tasks' working set.
The problem with the working set detection is multilateral. In the criu
(checkpoint/restore) project we dump the tasks' memory into image files
and to do it properly we need to detect which pages inside mappings are
really in use. The mincore syscall I though could help with this did not.
First, it doesn't report swapped pages, thus we cannot find out which
parts of anonymous mappings to dump. Next, it does report pages from page
cache as present even if they are not mapped, and it doesn't make that has
not been cow-ed.
Note, that issue with swap pages is critical -- we must dump swap pages to
image file. But the issues with file pages are optimization -- we can
take all file pages to image, this would be correct, but if we know that a
page is not mapped or not cow-ed, we can remove them from dump file. The
dump would still be self-consistent, though significantly smaller in size
(up to 10 times smaller on real apps).
Andrew noticed, that the proc pagemap file solved 2 of 3 above issues --
it reports whether a page is present or swapped and it doesn't report not
mapped page cache pages. But, it doesn't distinguish cow-ed file pages
from not cow-ed.
I would like to make the last unused bit in this file to report whether the
page mapped into respective pte is PageAnon or not.

or creating an IO context for an exiting task.
Also a bunch of mtip32xx patches. Fairly trivial stuff. It's fairly

I've thrown it through basic testing locally as well, works fine. The
one contentious part is the patch that Greg complained about (sysfs
file with multiple values, should be a debugfs file), which is
perfectly valid, but not a regression from what the file contains now.
That will be fixed up separately."
