One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a
causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and
ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must
be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies
on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that
does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function.
This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both
synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited().
However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would
be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit
does just that.

Although synchronize_rcu_expedited() uses a sequence-counter scheme, it
is based on a single increment per grace period, which means that tasks
piggybacking off of concurrent grace periods may be forced to wait longer
than necessary. This commit therefore applies the new sequence-count
functions developed for synchronize_sched_expedited() to speed things
up a bit and to consolidate the sequence-counter implementation.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to
bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the
sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full
expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be
applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of
underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(),
which will be applied to _rcu_barrier().
One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves
is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact
that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition,
the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change,
where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by
at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second
rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually
long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically
quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and
up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu()
with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine
when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

This commit gets rid of synchronize_sched_expedited()'s mutex_trylock()
polling loop in favor of a funnel-locking scheme based on the rcu_node
tree. The work-done check is done at each level of the tree, allowing

of mutex contention.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler
work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme
by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme.
A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that
the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise.
So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is
greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has
already happened.

The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(),
which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU,
and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any
of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which
get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling
latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs.
This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU
in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency
on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the
code a little bit.
Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm
and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the
new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.

Currently if the rcu_fanout_leaf boot parameter is out of bounds (that

rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + levelcnt[i - 1];

support of older versions, the dummy item may be removed from

Number of items in rcu_capacity[] array is defined by macro
MAX_RCU_LVLS. However, that array is never accessed beyond

Variable rcu_num_lvls is limited by RCU_NUM_LVLS macro.
In turn, rcu_state::levelcnt[] array is never accessed
beyond rcu_num_lvls. Thus, rcu_state::levelcnt[] is safe
to limit to RCU_NUM_LVLS items.
Since rcu_num_lvls could be changed during boot (as result
of rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf kernel parameter update) one might
assume a new value could overflow the value of RCU_NUM_LVLS.
However, that is not the case, since leaf-level fanout is only
permitted to increase, resulting in rcu_num_lvls possibly to
decrease.

Commit 835a6a2f86 ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
out the list pointers and removed it.
But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
(which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
An.

drivers tree-wide.
There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original
hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.

still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm
Pull kvm fixes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Except for the preempt notifiers fix, these are all small bugfixes
that could have been waited for -rc2. Sending them now since I was
taking care of Peter's patch anyway"
* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm:
kvm: add hyper-v crash msrs values
KVM: x86: remove data variable from kvm_get_msr_common
KVM: s390: virtio-ccw: don't overwrite config space values
KVM: x86: keep track of LVT0 changes under APICv
KVM: x86: properly restore LVT0
KVM: x86: make vapics_in_nmi_mode atomic
sched, preempt_notifier: separate notifier registration from static_key inc/dec
When split BAR is enabled, the driver needs to dump out the split BAR
registers rather than the original 64bit BAR registers.

The unsafe doorbell and scratchpad access should display reason when
WARN is called. Otherwise we get a stack dump without any explanation.

Benchmarking showed a significant performance increase with the MTU size
to 64k instead of 16k. Change the driver default to 64k.

Instead of using the platform code names, use the correct platform names
to identify the respective Intel NTB hardware.

Disable DMA usage by default, since the CPU provides much better
performance with write combining. Provide a module parameter to enable
DMA usage when offloading the memcpy is preferred.

Changing the memory window BAR mappings to write combining significantly
boosts the performance. We will also use memcpy that uses non-temporal
store, which showed performance improvement when doing non-cached
memcpys.

When the ntb transport is connecting and waiting for the peer, the debug
console receives lots of debug level messages about the remote qp link
status being down. Rate limit those messages.

This is a simple debugging driver that enables the doorbell and
scratch pad registers to be read and written from the debugfs. This
tool enables more complicated debugging to be scripted from user space.
This driver may be used to test that your ntb hardware and drivers are
functioning at a basic level.
