ARM Mali midgard GPU is similar to standard 64-bit stage 1 page tables, but have a few differences. Add a new format type to represent the format. The input address size is 48-bits and the output address size is 40-bits (and possibly less?). Note that the later bifrost GPUs follow the standard 64-bit stage 1 format. The differences in the format compared to 64-bit stage 1 format are: The 3rd level page entry bits are 0x1 instead of 0x3 for page entries. The access flags are not read-only and unprivileged, but read and write. This is similar to stage 2 entries, but the memory attributes field matches stage 1 being an index. The nG bit is not set by the vendor driver. This one didn't seem to matter, but we'll keep it aligned to the vendor driver. Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Acked-by:

On machines where the GART aperture is mapped over physical RAM, /proc/kcore contains the GART aperture range. Accessing the GART range via /proc/kcore results in a kernel crash. vmcore used to have the same issue, until it was fixed with commit 2a3e83c6 ("x86/gart: Exclude GART aperture from vmcore")', leveraging existing hook infrastructure in vmcore to let /proc/vmcore return zeroes when attempting to read the aperture region, and so it won't read from the actual memory. Apply the same workaround for kcore. First implement the same hook infrastructure for kcore, then reuse the hook functions introduced in the previous vmcore fix. Just with some minor adjustment, rename some functions for more general usage, and simplify the hook infrastructure a bit as there is no module usage yet. Suggested-by:

Because map updates are distributed lazily, an OSD may not know about the new blacklist for quite some time after "osd blacklist add" command is completed. This makes it possible for a blacklisted but still alive client to overwrite a post-blacklist update, resulting in data corruption. Waiting for latest osdmap in ceph_monc_blacklist_add() and thus using the post-blacklist epoch for all post-blacklist requests ensures that all such requests "wait" for the blacklist to come into force on their respective OSDs.

For ITER_BVEC, if we're holding on to kernel pages, the caller doesn't need to grab a reference to the bvec pages, and drop that same reference on IO completion. This is essentially safe for any ITER_BVEC, but some use cases end up reusing pages and uncondtionally dropping a page reference on completion. And example of that is sendfile(2), that ends up being a splice_in + splice_out on the pipe pages. Add a flag that tells us it's fine to not grab a page reference to the bvec pages, since that caller knows not to drop a reference when it's done with the pages. Signed-off-by:

To prevent a hardware memory leak when a DEVX DCT object is destroyed without calling DRAIN DCT before, (e.g. under cleanup flow), need to manage its creation and destruction via mlx5 core. In that case the DRAIN DCT command will be called and only once that it will be completed the DESTROY DCT command will be called. Otherwise, the DESTROY DCT may fail and a hardware leak may occur. As of that change the DRAIN DCT command should not be exposed any more from DEVX, it's managed internally by the driver to work as expected by the device specification.

Patch series "drop the mmap_sem when doing IO in the fault path", v6. Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started going through and fixing the various priority inversions. Most are all gone now, but this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a priority inversion that happens within the kernel, but rather because of something userspace does. We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these giant applications do things like watch the system state to determine how healthy the box is for load balancing and such. This involves running 'ps' or other such utilities. These utilities will often walk /proc/<pid>/whatever, and these files can sometimes need to down_read(&task->mmap_sem). Not usually a big deal, but we noticed when we are stress testing that sometimes our protected application has latency spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in lower priority cgroups. This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into a mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers will not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer. This is fine, except a lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been throttled to the point that its IO is taking much longer than normal. But because a higher priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck behind lower priority work. In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the existing retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we are going to do IO. This already exists in the read case sort of, but needed to be extended for more than just grabbing the page lock. With io.latency we throttle at submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can block and even page_cache_read can block, so all these paths need to have the mmap_sem dropped. The other big thing is ->page_mkwrite. btrfs is particularly shitty here because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very expensive operation. We use the same retry method as the read path, and simply cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next pass through ->page_mkwrite(). I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions. This patch (of 3): If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird forced page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it again and loop around and find it. This makes for 2 ways we can read a page in filemap_fault, and it's not really needed. Instead add a FGP_FOR_MMAP flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked page that's in pagecache. Then use the normal page locking and readpage logic already in filemap_fault. This simplifies the no page in page cache case significantly.

As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

Currently, memblock has several internal functions with overlapping functionality. They all call memblock_find_in_range_node() to find free memory and then reserve the allocated range and mark it with kmemleak. However, there is difference in the allocation constraints and in fallback strategies. The allocations returning physical address first attempt to find free memory on the specified node within mirrored memory regions, then retry on the same node without the requirement for memory mirroring and finally fall back to all available memory. The allocations returning virtual address start with clamping the allowed range to memblock.current_limit, attempt to allocate from the specified node from regions with mirroring and with user defined minimal address. If such allocation fails, next attempt is done with node restriction lifted. Next, the allocation is retried with minimal address reset to zero and at last without the requirement for mirrored regions. Let's consolidate various fallbacks handling and make them more consistent for physical and virtual variants. Most of the fallback handling is moved to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and it now handles node and mirror fallbacks. The memblock_alloc_internal() uses memblock_alloc_range_nid() to get a physical address of the allocated range and converts it to virtual address. The fallback for allocation below the specified minimal address remains in memblock_alloc_internal() because memblock_alloc_range_nid() is used by CMA with exact requirement for lower bounds. The memblock_phys_alloc_nid() function is completely dropped as it is not used anywhere outside memblock and its only usage can be replaced by a call to memblock_alloc_range_nid().

Page fault handlers are supposed to return VM_FAULT codes, but some drivers/file systems mistakenly return error numbers. Now that all drivers/file systems have been converted to use the vm_fault_t return type, change the type definition to no longer be compatible with 'int'. By making it an unsigned int, the function prototype becomes incompatible with a function which returns int. Sparse will detect any attempts to return a value which is not a VM_FAULT code. VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX and VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX values are changed to avoid conflict with other VM_FAULT codes.

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5. Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972 This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ). Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short: - RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent) - I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically, measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies the benefits of each part of the patchset. Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178 4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance). This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5% or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram. Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches (aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does more compression than decompression). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as expected. RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on top of the benefit from Matt's patches). Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches. Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here, the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation, of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this is probably within the noise. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next" has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect - it's small enough not to upset the overall findings. This patch (of 3): When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them using run-length encoding. This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal. Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases. This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible (i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot decompress new bitstreams).
