smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr() instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining it from dentry. Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e640. Unlike ->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of ->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately it got missed back then. Reported-by:

Christoph Lameter authored
In practice, each RDMA device has a unique set of counters that the hardware implements. Having a central set of counters that they must all adhere to is limiting and causes many useful counters to not be available. Therefore we create a dynamic counter registration infrastructure. The driver must implement a stats structure allocation routine, in which the driver must place the directory name it wants, a list of names for all of the counters, an array of u64 counters themselves, plus a few generic configuration options. We then implement a core routine to create a sysfs file for each of the named stats elements, and a core routine to retrieve the stats when any of the sysfs attribute files are read. To avoid excessive beating on the stats generation routine in the drivers, the core code also caches the stats for a short period of time so that someone attempting to read all of the stats in a given device's directory will not result in a stats generation call per file read. Future work will attempt to standardize just the shared stats elements, and possibly add a method to get the stats via netlink in addition to sysfs. Signed-off-by:

Add a helper which aids in the identification of DP dual mode (aka. DP++) adaptors. There are several types of adaptors specified: type 1 DVI, type 1 HDMI, type 2 DVI, type 2 HDMI Type 1 adaptors have a max TMDS clock limit of 165MHz, type 2 adaptors may go as high as 300MHz and they provide a register informing the source device what the actual limit is. Supposedly also type 1 adaptors may optionally implement this register. This TMDS clock limit is the main reason why we need to identify these adaptors. Type 1 adaptors provide access to their internal registers and the sink DDC bus through I2C. Type 2 adaptors provide this access both via I2C and I2C-over-AUX. A type 2 source device may choose to implement either of these methods. If a source device implements the I2C-over-AUX method, then the driver will obviously need specific support for such adaptors since the port is driven like an HDMI port, but DDC communication happes over the AUX channel. This helper should be enough to identify the adaptor type (some type 1 DVI adaptors may be a slight exception) and the maximum TMDS clock limit. Another feature that may be available is control over the TMDS output buffers on the adaptor, possibly allowing for some power saving when the TMDS link is down. Other user controllable features that may be available in the adaptors are downstream i2c bus speed control when using i2c-over-aux, and some control over the CEC pin. I chose not to provide any helper functions for those since I have no use for them in i915 at this time. The rest of the registers in the adaptor are mostly just information, eg.

It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it, which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely, especially if the main program might be multithreaded. Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks which have task->fs. This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier. The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports. Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

This file is not meant to be used by anyone else: its content is not documented and will change any time w/o any notice. Therefore, the output of debug_stat file contains a version string. To avoid any confusion, we will increase the version number every time we modify the output. At the moment this file exports only one value -- the number of re-compressions, IOW, the number of times compression fast path has failed. This stat is temporary any will be useful in case if any per-cpu compression streams regressions will be reported.

Remove the internal part of max_comp_streams interface, since we switched to per-cpu streams. We will keep RW max_comp_streams attr around, because: a) we may (silently) switch back to idle compression streams list and don't want to disturb user space b) max_comp_streams attr must wait for the next 'lay off cycle'; we give user space 2 years to adjust before we remove/downgrade the attr, and there are already several attrs scheduled for removal in 4.11, so it's too late for max_comp_streams. This slightly change a user visible behaviour: - First, reading from max_comp_stream file now will always return the number of online CPUs. - Second, writing to max_comp_stream will not take any effect.

This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858 ("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added memory"). Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic to userspace. I met two issues on this way: 1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU). These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by userspace. 2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938 Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override. This patch (of 2): Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by just ignoring the anomaly on those. Signed-off-by:

Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

This patch adds binding information for IBM/AMCC/APM GPIO Controllers of the PowerPC 4XX series and compatible SoCs. The "PowerPC 405EP Embedded Processor Data Sheet" has the following to say about the GPIO controllers: " - Controller functions and GPIO registers are programmed and accessed via memory-mapped OPB bus master accesses - All GPIOs are pin-shared with other functions. DCRs control whether a particular pin that has GPIO capabilities acts as a GPIO or is used for another purpose. - Each GPIO outputs is separately programmable to emulate an open-drain driver (i.e. drives to zero, threestated if output bit is 1) " The ppc4xx_gpio.c driver is part of the platform/sysdev drivers in arch/powerpc/sysdev.

In the truncate or hole-punch path in dax, we clear out sub-page ranges. If these sub-page ranges are sector aligned and sized, we can do the zeroing through the driver instead so that error-clearing is handled automatically. For sub-sector ranges, we still have to rely on clear_pmem and have the possibility of tripping over errors.
