 "Stuff in here:

   - acct.c fixes and general rework of mnt_pin mechanism.  That allows
     to go for delayed-mntput stuff, which will permit mntput() on deep
     stack without worrying about stack overflows - fs shutdown will
     happen on shallow stack.  IOW, we can do Eric's umount-on-rmdir
     series without introducing tons of stack overflows on new mntput()
     call chains it introduces.
   - Bruce's d_splice_alias() patches
   - more Miklos' rename() stuff.
   - a couple of regression fixes (stable fodder, in the end of branch)
     and a fix for API idiocy in iov_iter.c.

  There definitely will be another pile, maybe even two.  I'd like to
  get Eric's series in this time, but even if we miss it, it'll go right
  in the beginning of for-next in the next cycle - the tricky part of
  prereqs is in this pile"

b8faf035ea VFS: allow ->d_manage() to declare -EISDIR in rcu_walk mode.
In REF-walk mode, ->d_manage can return -EISDIR to indicate
that the dentry is not really a mount trap (or even a mount point)
and that any mounts or any DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag should be
ignored.

RCU-walk mode doesn't currently support this, so if there is a dentry
with DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT set but which shouldn't be a mount-trap,
lookup_fast() will always drop in REF-walk mode.

With this patch, an -EISDIR from ->d_manage will always cause mounts
and automounts to be ignored, both in REF-walk and RCU-walk.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co

   - Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
     Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
     user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)

   - Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.

   - Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.

   - Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
     and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs.  Some of it
     definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.

   - Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.

   - A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing.  This is a
     long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
     traces.  With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
     for correlation of traces accross separate machines.

   - Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.

   - A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.

   - Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.

   - New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe.  I'm really
     impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
     manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
     specific timers.

[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]

   - Another round of code move from arch to drivers.  Looks like most
     of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
     a few obnoxious strongholds.

   - The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

743162013d sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().

So:
 Rename wait_on_bit and        wait_on_bit_lock to
        wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
 to make it explicit that they need an action function.

 Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
 which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
 a standard one.
 The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
 based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
 function.

 All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
 can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
 action functions have been discarded.
 wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
 event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
 interpolate their own error code as appropriate.

The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"

The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.

A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack.  So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).

Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS.  CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
 "The largest piece is a long-overdue rewrite of the xdr code to remove
  some annoying limitations: for example, there was no way to return
  ACLs larger than 4K, and readdir results were returned only in 4k
  chunks, limiting performance on large directories.

  Also:
        - part of Neil Brown's work to make NFS work reliably over the
          loopback interface (so client and server can run on the same
          machine without deadlocks).  The rest of it is coming through
          other trees.
        - cleanup and bugfixes for some of the server RDMA code, from

        - Various cleanup of NFSv4 state code in preparation for an

190a8843de fs/fat/: add support for DOS 1.x formatted volumes
Add structure for parsed BPB information, struct fat_bios_param_block,
and move all of the deserialization and validation logic from
fat_fill_super() into fat_read_bpb().

Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block
defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy
images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic.

When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is
set, fall back to fat_read_static_bpb().  fat_read_static_bpb()
validates that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a
DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header.  Then it fills in default BPB
values from media size and a table.[0]

Media size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes.  See also:
[1].

Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.

bfec07d0f8 f2fs: avoid overflow when large directory feathure is enabled
When large directory feathure is enable, We have one case which could cause
overflow in dir_buckets() as following:
special case: level + dir_level >= 32 and level < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2.

Here we define MAX_DIR_BUCKETS to limit the return value when the condition
could trigger potential overflow.

Changes from V1
 o modify description of calculation in f2fs.txt suggested by Changman Lee.

3568a1dbf1 Documentation: update /proc/stat "intr" count summary
The sum at the beginning of line "intr" includes also unnumbered
interrupts.  It implies that the sum at the beginning isn't the sum
of the remainder of the line, not even an estimation.

Fixed the documentation to mention that.

This behaviour was added to /proc/stat in commit a2eddfa959 ("x86:

293bc9822f new methods: ->read_iter() and ->write_iter()
Beginning to introduce those.  Just the callers for now, and it's
clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting
aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.

For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
in iov_iter.

Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to
split the damn thing cleanly.

8ca577223f affs: add mount option to avoid filename truncates
Normal behavior for filenames exceeding specific filesystem limits is to
refuse operation.

AFFS standard name length being only 30 characters against 255 for usual
Linux filesystems, original implementation does filename truncate by
default with a define value AFFS_NO_TRUNCATE which can be enabled but
needs module compilation.

This patch adds 'nofilenametruncate' mount option so that user can
easily activate that feature and avoid a lot of problems (eg overwrite
files ...)

Currently we don't have a way how to determing from which mount point
file has been opened.  This information is required for proper dumping
and restoring file descriptos due to presence of mount namespaces.  It's
possible, that two file descriptors are opened using the same paths, but
one fd references mount point from one namespace while the other fd --
from other namespace.

8c6e50b029 mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()
Here's new version of faultaround patchset.  It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.

First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.

->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff".  ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block.  If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it.  Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry.  Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure.  Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".

Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path.  We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time.  FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.

TODO:
 - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
 - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
   mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.

=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.

Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):

Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.

We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

6b4afdd794 f2fs: introduce f2fs_issue_flush to avoid redundant flush issue
Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush
commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such
the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid
issuing them redundantly.
So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such
the overhead.

If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then
issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is
finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads.

Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive
concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

 "This adds a new syscall, renameat2(), which is the same as renameat()
  but with a flags argument.

  The purpose of extending rename is to add cross-rename, a symmetric
  variant of rename, which exchanges the two files.  This allows
  interesting things, which were not possible before, for example
  atomically replacing a directory tree with a symlink, etc...  This
  also allows overlayfs and friends to operate on whiteouts atomically.

  Andy Lutomirski also suggested a "noreplace" flag, which disables the
  overwriting behavior of rename.

  These two flags, RENAME_EXCHANGE and RENAME_NOREPLACE are only
  implemented for ext4 as an example and for testing"

2cc88f3a5f nilfs2: implementation of NILFS_IOCTL_SET_SUINFO ioctl
With this ioctl the segment usage entries in the SUFILE can be updated
from userspace.

This is useful, because it allows the userspace GC to modify and update
segment usage entries for specific segments, which enables it to avoid
unnecessary write operations.

If a segment needs to be cleaned, but there is no or very little
reclaimable space in it, the cleaning operation basically degrades to a
useless moving operation.  In the end the only thing that changes is the
location of the data and a timestamp in the segment usage information.
With this ioctl the GC can skip the cleaning and update the segment
usage entries directly instead.

This is basically a shortcut to cleaning the segment.  It is still
necessary to read the segment summary information, but the writing of
the live blocks can be skipped if it's not worth it.

91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

58c410351e f2fs: change reclaim rate in percentage
It is more reasonable to determine the reclaiming rate of prefree segments
according to the volume size, which is set to 5% by default.
For example, if the volume is 128GB, the prefree segments are reclaimed
when the number reaches to 6.4GB.

cdfc41c134 f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entry
This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.

Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.

So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
in order of 1 / 1024.
For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

			      support large directory. If a directory has a
			      number of files, it can reduce the file lookup
			      latency by increasing this dir_level value.
			      Otherwise, it needs to decrease this value to
			      reduce the space overhead. The default value is 0.

3843154598 f2fs: introduce large directory support
This patch introduces an i_dir_level field to support large directory.

Previously, f2fs maintains multi-level hash tables to find a dentry quickly
from a bunch of chiild dentries in a directory, and the hash tables consist of
the following tree structure as below.

In Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt,

----------------------
A : bucket
B : block
N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
----------------------

level #0   | A(2B)
           |
level #1   | A(2B) - A(2B)
           |
level #2   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
     .     |   .       .       .       .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
     .     |   .       .       .       .
level #N   | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)

But, if we can guess that a directory will handle a number of child files,
we don't need to traverse the tree from level #0 to #N all the time.
Since the lower level tables contain relatively small number of dentries,
the miss ratio of the target dentry is likely to be high.

In order to avoid that, we can configure the hash tables sparsely from level #0
like this.

level #0   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)

level #1   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
     .     |   .       .       .       .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
     .     |   .       .       .       .
level #N   | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)

With this structure, we can skip the ineffective tree searches in lower level
hash tables.

This patch adds just a facility for this by introducing i_dir_level in
f2fs_inode.

e7651b819e Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
 "This is a pretty big pull, and most of these changes have been
  floating in btrfs-next for a long time.  Filipe's properties work is a
  cool building block for inheriting attributes like compression down on
  a per inode basis.

  Jeff Mahoney kicked in code to export filesystem info into sysfs.

  Otherwise, lots of performance improvements, cleanups and bug fixes.

  Looks like there are still a few other small pending incrementals, but
  I wanted to get the bulk of this in first"

778c14affa mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.

With commit a63d83f427 ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption.  But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes.  For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.

The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.

Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.

By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small.  In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.
