Pull audit update from Eric Paris:
"Again we stayed pretty well contained inside the audit system.
Venturing out was fixing a couple of function prototypes which were
inconsistent (didn't hurt anything, but we used the same value as an
int, uint, u32, and I think even a long in a couple of places).
We also made a couple of minor changes to when a couple of LSMs called
the audit system. We hoped to add aarch64 audit support this go
round, but it wasn't ready.
I'm disappearing on vacation on Thursday. I should have internet
access, but it'll be spotty. If anything goes wrong please be sure to
cc rgb@redhat.com. He'll make fixing things his top priority"

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, a couple of sysfs entries were introduced to tune the
f2fs at runtime.
In addition, f2fs starts to support inline_data and improves the
read/write performance in some workloads by refactoring bio-related
flows.
This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
- support inline_data
- refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type
assignment
- enhance the direct IO path
- enhance bio operations
- truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete
- add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and
in-place-update
- add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search
The other bug fixes are as follows.
- fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes

Pull xfs update from Ben Myers:
"This is primarily bug fixes, many of which you already have. New
stuff includes a series to decouple the in-memory and on-disk log
format, helpers in the area of inode clusters, and i_version handling.
We decided to try to use more topic branches this release, so there
are some merge commits in there on account of that. I'm afraid I
didn't do a good job of putting meaningful comments in the first
couple of merges. Sorry about that. I think I have the hang of it
now.
For 3.14-rc1 there are fixes in the areas of remote attributes,
discard, growfs, memory leaks in recovery, directory v2, quotas, the
MAINTAINERS file, allocation alignment, extent list locking, and in
xfs_bmapi_allocate. There are cleanups in xfs_setsize_buftarg,
removing unused macros, quotas, setattr, and freeing of inode
clusters. The in-memory and on-disk log format have been decoupled, a
common helper to calculate the number of blocks in an inode cluster
has been added, and handling of i_version has been pulled into the
filesystems that use it.
- cleanup in xfs_setsize_buftarg
- removal of remaining unused flags for vop toss/flush/flushinval
- fix for memory corruption in xfs_attrlist_by_handle
- fix for out-of-date comment in xfs_trans_dqlockedjoin
- fix for discard if range length is less than one block
- fix for overrun of agfl buffer using growfs on v4 superblock
filesystems
- pull i_version handling out into the filesystems that use it
- don't leak recovery items on error
- fix for memory leak in xfs_dir2_node_removename
- several cleanups for quotas
- fix bad assertion in xfs_qm_vop_create_dqattach
- cleanup for xfs_setattr_mode, and add xfs_setattr_time
- fix quota assert in xfs_setattr_nonsize
- fix an infinite loop when turning off group/project quota before
user quota
- fix for temporary buffer allocation failure in xfs_dir2_block_to_sf
with large directory block sizes
- fix Dave's email address in MAINTAINERS
- cleanup calculation of freed inode cluster blocks
- fix alignment of initial file allocations to match filesystem
geometry
- decouple in-memory and on-disk log format
- introduce a common helper to calculate the number of filesystem
blocks in an inode cluster
- fixes for extent list locking
- fix for off-by-one in xfs_attr3_rmt_verify
- fix for missing destroy_work_on_stack in xfs_bmapi_allocate"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Two major features that Xen community is excited about:
The first is event channel scalability by David Vrabel - we switch
over from an two-level per-cpu bitmap of events (IRQs) - to an FIFO
queue with priorities. This lets us be able to handle more events,
have lower latency, and better scalability. Good stuff.
The other is PVH by Mukesh Rathor. In short, PV is a mode where the
kernel lets the hypervisor program page-tables, segments, etc. With
EPT/NPT capabilities in current processors, the overhead of doing this
in an HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) container is much lower than the
hypervisor doing it for us.
In short we let a PV guest run without doing page-table, segment,
syscall, etc updates through the hypervisor - instead it is all done
within the guest container. It is a "hybrid" PV - hence the 'PVH'
name - a PV guest within an HVM container.
The major benefits are less code to deal with - for example we only
use one function from the the pv_mmu_ops (which has 39 function
calls); faster performance for syscall (no context switches into the
hypervisor); less traps on various operations; etc.
It is still being baked - the ABI is not yet set in stone. But it is
pretty awesome and we are excited about it.
Lastly, there are some changes to ARM code - you should get a simple
conflict which has been resolved in #linux-next.
In short, this pull has awesome features.
Features:
- FIFO event channels. Key advantages: support for over 100,000
events (2^17), 16 different event priorities, improved fairness in
event latency through the use of FIFOs.
- Xen PVH support. "It’s a fully PV kernel mode, running with
paravirtualized disk and network, paravirtualized interrupts and
timers, no emulated devices of any kind (and thus no qemu), no BIOS
or legacy boot — but instead of requiring PV MMU, it uses the HVM
hardware extensions to virtualize the pagetables, as well as system
calls and other privileged operations." (from "The
Paravirtualization Spectrum, Part 2: From poles to a spectrum")
Bug-fixes:
- Fixes in balloon driver (refactor and make it work under ARM)
- Allow xenfb to be used in HVM guests.
- Allow xen_platform_pci=0 to work properly.
- Refactors in event channels"

Pull device-mapper changes from Mike Snitzer:
"A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning
target's handling of metadata operation failures and running out of

to be released before destroying the device
- old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This pull request has a new feature to ftrace, namely the trace event
triggers by Tom Zanussi. A trigger is a way to enable an action when
an event is hit. The actions are:
o trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
o snapshot - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
o stacktrace - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
o enable/disable events - enable or disable another event
Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code. Having the
uprobes add support for fetch methods.
The rest are various bug fixes with the new code, and minor ones for
the old code"

open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track
of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup. However,
for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup
at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of
calling into userspace for open/release calls.
This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent
open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns
ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also
remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace
operation.

Having this struct in module memory could Oops when if the module is

Since sock_pipe_buf_ops is essentially the same as fuse_dev_pipe_buf_steal

default_pipe_buf_ops except stealing the page from the buffer is not

In fact, grab_meta_page has locked the page in the page cache,

In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests. But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call. This behaviour is really slow.
To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time. We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace. If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility. Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

We should remove the page from the list if we fail with ENOSYS, since
migrate_pages() consider error cases except -ENOMEM and -EAGAIN as
permanent failure and it assumes that the page would be removed from the
list. Without this patch, we could overcount number of failure.
In addition, we should put back the new hugepage if
!hugepage_migration_support(). If not, we would leak hugepage memory.

Compaction used to start its migrate and free page scaners at the zone's
lowest and highest pfn, respectively. Later, caching was introduced to
remember the scanners' progress across compaction attempts so that
pageblocks are not re-scanned uselessly. Additionally, pageblocks where
isolation failed are marked to be quickly skipped when encountered again
in future compactions.
Currently, both the reset of cached pfn's and clearing of the pageblock
skip information for a zone is done in __reset_isolation_suitable().
This function gets called when:
- compaction is restarting after being deferred
- compact_blockskip_flush flag is set in compact_finished() when the scanners
meet (and not again cleared when direct compaction succeeds in allocation)
and kswapd acts upon this flag before going to sleep
This behavior is suboptimal for several reasons:
- when direct sync compaction is called after async compaction fails (in the
allocation slowpath), it will effectively do nothing, unless kswapd
happens to process the compact_blockskip_flush flag meanwhile. This is racy
and goes against the purpose of sync compaction to more thoroughly retry
the compaction of a zone where async compaction has failed.
The restart-after-deferring path cannot help here as deferring happens only
after the sync compaction fails. It is also done only for the preferred
zone, while the compaction might be done for a fallback zone.
- the mechanism of marking pageblock to be skipped has little value since the
cached pfn's are reset only together with the pageblock skip flags. This
effectively limits pageblock skip usage to parallel compactions.
This patch changes compact_finished() so that cached pfn's are reset
immediately when the scanners meet. Clearing pageblock skip flags is
unchanged, as well as the other situations where cached pfn's are reset.
This allows the sync-after-async compaction to retry pageblocks not
marked as skipped, such as blocks !MIGRATE_MOVABLE blocks that async
compactions now skips without marking them.

Compaction temporarily marks pageblocks where it fails to isolate pages
as to-be-skipped in further compactions, in order to improve efficiency.
One of the reasons to fail isolating pages is that isolation is not
attempted in pageblocks that are not of MIGRATE_MOVABLE (or CMA) type.
The problem is that blocks skipped due to not being MIGRATE_MOVABLE in
async compaction become skipped due to the temporary mark also in future
sync compaction. Moreover, this may follow quite soon during
__alloc_page_slowpath, without much time for kswapd to clear the
pageblock skip marks. This goes against the idea that sync compaction
should try to scan these blocks more thoroughly than the async
compaction.
The fix is to ensure in async compaction that these !MIGRATE_MOVABLE
blocks are not marked to be skipped. Note this should not affect
performance or locking impact of further async compactions, as skipping
a block due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE is done soon after skipping a
block marked to be skipped, both without locking.

Compaction of a zone is finished when the migrate scanner (which begins
at the zone's lowest pfn) meets the free page scanner (which begins at
the zone's highest pfn). This is detected in compact_zone() and in the
case of direct compaction, the compact_blockskip_flush flag is set so
that kswapd later resets the cached scanner pfn's, and a new compaction
may again start at the zone's borders.
The meeting of the scanners can happen during either scanner's activity.
However, it may currently fail to be detected when it occurs in the free
page scanner, due to two problems. First, isolate_freepages() keeps
free_pfn at the highest block where it isolated pages from, for the
purposes of not missing the pages that are returned back to allocator
when migration fails. Second, failing to isolate enough free pages due
to scanners meeting results in -ENOMEM being returned by
migrate_pages(), which makes compact_zone() bail out immediately without
calling compact_finished() that would detect scanners meeting.
This failure to detect scanners meeting might result in repeated
attempts at compaction of a zone that keep starting from the cached
pfn's close to the meeting point, and quickly failing through the
-ENOMEM path, without the cached pfns being reset, over and over. This
has been observed (through additional tracepoints) in the third phase of
the mmtests stress-highalloc benchmark, where the allocator runs on an
otherwise idle system. The problem was observed in the DMA32 zone,
which was used as a fallback to the preferred Normal zone, but on the
4GB system it was actually the largest zone. The problem is even
amplified for such fallback zone - the deferred compaction logic, which
could (after being fixed by a previous patch) reset the cached scanner
pfn's, is only applied to the preferred zone and not for the fallbacks.
The problem in the third phase of the benchmark was further amplified by
commit 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone allocator policy") which
resulted in a non-deterministic regression of the allocation success
rate from ~85% to ~65%. This occurs in about half of benchmark runs,
making bisection problematic. It is unlikely that the commit itself is
buggy, but it should put more pressure on the DMA32 zone during phases 1
and 2, which may leave it more fragmented in phase 3 and expose the bugs
that this patch fixes.
The fix is to make scanners meeting in isolate_freepage() stay that way,
and to check in compact_zone() for scanners meeting when migrate_pages()
returns -ENOMEM. The result is that compact_finished() also detects
scanners meeting and sets the compact_blockskip_flush flag to make
kswapd reset the scanner pfn's.
The results in stress-highalloc benchmark show that the "regression" by
commit 81c0a2bb515f in phase 3 no longer occurs, and phase 1 and 2
allocation success rates are also significantly improved.

Compaction caches pfn's for its migrate and free scanners to avoid
scanning the whole zone each time. In compact_zone(), the cached values
are read to set up initial values for the scanners. There are several
situations when these cached pfn's are reset to the first and last pfn
of the zone, respectively. One of these situations is when a compaction
has been deferred for a zone and is now being restarted during a direct
compaction, which is also done in compact_zone().
However, compact_zone() currently reads the cached pfn's *before*
resetting them. This means the reset doesn't affect the compaction that
performs it, and with good chance also subsequent compactions, as
update_pageblock_skip() is likely to be called and update the cached
pfn's to those being processed. Another chance for a successful reset
is when a direct compaction detects that migration and free scanners
meet (which has its own problems addressed by another patch) and sets
update_pageblock_skip flag which kswapd uses to do the reset because it
goes to sleep.
This is clearly a bug that results in non-deterministic behavior, so
this patch moves the cached pfn reset to be performed *before* the
values are read.

Currently there are several functions to manipulate the deferred
compaction state variables. The remaining case where the variables are
touched directly is when a successful allocation occurs in direct
compaction, or is expected to be successful in the future by kswapd.
Here, the lowest order that is expected to fail is updated, and in the
case of successful allocation, the deferred status and counter is reset
completely.
Create a new function compaction_defer_reset() to encapsulate this
functionality and make it easier to understand the code. No functional
change.

The broad goal of the series is to improve allocation success rates for
huge pages through memory compaction, while trying not to increase the
compaction overhead. The original objective was to reintroduce
capturing of high-order pages freed by the compaction, before they are
split by concurrent activity. However, several bugs and opportunities
for simple improvements were found in the current implementation, mostly
through extra tracepoints (which are however too ugly for now to be
considered for sending).
The patches mostly deal with two mechanisms that reduce compaction
overhead, which is caching the progress of migrate and free scanners,
and marking pageblocks where isolation failed to be skipped during
further scans.
Patch 1 (from mgorman) adds tracepoints that allow calculate time spent in
compaction and potentially debug scanner pfn values.
Patch 2 encapsulates the some functionality for handling deferred compactions
for better maintainability, without a functional change
type is not determined without being actually needed.
Patch 3 fixes a bug where cached scanner pfn's are sometimes reset only after
they have been read to initialize a compaction run.
Patch 4 fixes a bug where scanners meeting is sometimes not properly detected
and can lead to multiple compaction attempts quitting early without
doing any work.
Patch 5 improves the chances of sync compaction to process pageblocks that
async compaction has skipped due to being !MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
Patch 6 improves the chances of sync direct compaction to actually do anything
when called after async compaction fails during allocation slowpath.
The impact of patches were validated using mmtests's stress-highalloc
benchmark with mmtests's stress-highalloc benchmark on a x86_64 machine
with 4GB memory.
Due to instability of the results (mostly related to the bugs fixed by
patches 2 and 3), 10 iterations were performed, taking min,mean,max
values for success rates and mean values for time and vmstat-based
metrics.
First, the default GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations were tested with the
patches stacked on top of v3.13-rc2. Patch 2 is OK to serve as baseline
due to no functional changes in 1 and 2. Comments below.

Observations:
- The "Success 3" line is allocation success rate with system idle
(phases 1 and 2 are with background interference). I used to get stable
values around 85% with vanilla 3.11. The lower min and mean values came
with 3.12. This was bisected to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair
zone allocator policy") As explained in comment for patch 3, I don't
think the commit is wrong, but that it makes the effect of compaction
bugs worse. From patch 3 onwards, the results are OK and match the 3.11
results.
- Patch 4 also clearly helps phases 1 and 2, and exceeds any results
I've seen with 3.11 (I didn't measure it that thoroughly then, but it
was never above 40%).
- Compaction cost and number of scanned pages is higher, especially due
to patch 4. However, keep in mind that patches 3 and 4 fix existing
bugs in the current design of compaction overhead mitigation, they do
not change it. If overhead is found unacceptable, then it should be
decreased differently (and consistently, not due to random conditions)
than the current implementation does. In contrast, patches 5 and 6
(which are not strictly bug fixes) do not increase the overhead (but
also not success rates). This might be a limitation of the
stress-highalloc benchmark as it's quite uniform.
Another set of results is when configuring stress-highalloc t allocate
with similar flags as THP uses:
(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NO_KSWAPD)

There are some differences from the previous results for THP-like allocations:
- Here, the bad result for unpatched kernel in phase 3 is much more
consistent to be between 65-70% and not related to the "regression" in
3.12. Still there is the improvement from patch 4 onwards, which brings
it on par with simple GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE allocations.
- Compaction costs have increased, but nowhere near as much as the
non-THP case. Again, the patches should be worth the gained
determininsm.
- Patches 5 and 6 somewhat increase the number of migrate-scanned pages.
This is most likely due to __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag, which means the cached
pfn's and pageblock skip bits are not reset by kswapd that often (at
least in phase 3 where no concurrent activity would wake up kswapd) and
the patches thus help the sync-after-async compaction. It doesn't
however show that the sync compaction would help so much with success
rates, which can be again seen as a limitation of the benchmark
scenario.
This patch (of 6):
Add two tracepoints for compaction begin and end of a zone. Using this it
is possible to calculate how much time a workload is spending within
compaction and potentially debug problems related to cached pfns for
scanning. In combination with the direct reclaim and slab trace points it
should be possible to estimate most allocation-related overhead for a
workload.
