Here's the big driver core merge for 3.11-rc1
Lots of little things, and larger firmware subsystem updates, all
described in the shortlog. Nice thing here is that we finally get rid
of CONFIG_HOTPLUG, after 10+ years, thanks to Stephen Rohtwell (it had
been always on for a number of kernel releases, now it's just removed.)

Here's the large staging tree merge for 3.11-rc1
Huge thing here is the Lustre client code. Unfortunatly, due to it not
building properly on a wide variety of different architectures (this was
production code???), it is currently disabled from the build so as to
not annoy people.
Other than Lustre, there are loads of comedi patches, working to clean
up that subsystem, iio updates and new drivers, and a load of cleanups
from the OPW applicants in their quest to get a summer internship.
All of these have been in the linux-next releases for a while (hence the
Lustre code being disabled.)

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"There are a few bug fixes for various, mostly very minor corner cases,
plus some interesting new features.
The new features include atomic_open whose main benefit will be the
reduction in locking overhead in case of combined lookup/create and
open operations, sorting the log buffer lists by block number to
improve the efficiency of AIL writeback, and aggressively issuing
revokes in gfs2_log_flush to reduce overhead when dropping glocks."
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/steve/gfs2-3.0-nmw:

GFS2: aggressively issue revokes in gfs2_log_flush

GFS2: Remove no-op wrapper function
GFS2: Cocci spatch "ptr_ret.spatch"
GFS2: Eliminate gfs2_rg_lops
GFS2: Sort buffer lists by inplace block number
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.
We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.

If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size
should be stored to the inode block consistently.
But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its
metadata into its inode block.
After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index
excluding inode metadata updates.
So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the
i_size is changed.

This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.
When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
data or node block allocation.
However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
operated after sudden-power-off.
Let's assume the following scenario.
/* write 8MB with fsync */
for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
offset = i * 4096;
write(fd, offset, 4KB);
fsync(fd);
}
In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
reused by data allocation.
After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
inode with its data.
If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.
Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1)

selection as the path is already initialized. We could use this

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.
This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over

Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.
On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots. :-)

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed,

An observed result was:
- allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update
ext4_allocation_context;
- ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len =
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead
of number of blocks requested (1);
- that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch():
for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here
*(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++);
- it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode
structure;
- page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty();
- system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.

Commit 37f02195b (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc
platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot
plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for
hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function.
This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths
for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices
known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot
plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically
in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each
time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery,
meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered
during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded.
The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged
devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI
probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now
only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle
change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device
discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the
pci_enable_device() call.
To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device.
Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup
is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete.
With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization,
and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices.
[ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which
causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after
MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due
to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number
and not the LSI. --BenH

Pull drm/qxl fix from Dave Airlie:
"Bad me forgot an access check, possible security issue, but since this
is the first kernel with it, should be fine to just put it in now"

drm/qxl: add missing access check for execbuffer ioctl
This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into
kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user()
fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.
Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.

Merge tag 'for-linus-20130628' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-mn10300
Pull two MN10300 fixes from David Howells:
"The first fixes a problem with passing arrays rather than pointers to
get_user() where __typeof__ then wants to declare and initialise an
array variable which gcc doesn't like.
The second fixes a problem whereby putting mem=xxx into the kernel
command line causes init=xxx to get an incorrect value."
* tag 'for-linus-20130628' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-mn10300:
mn10300: Use early_param() to parse "mem=" parameter
mn10300: Allow to pass array name to get_user()
Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"Correct an ordering issue in the tick broadcast code. I really wish
we'd get compensation for pain and suffering for each line of code we
write to work around dysfunctional timer hardware."
