Pull device-mapper updates from Alasdair G Kergon:
"Improve multipath's retrying mechanism in some defined circumstances
and provide a simple reserve/release mechanism for userspace tools to
access thin provisioning metadata while the pool is in use."* tag 'dm-3.5-changes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/agk/linux-dm:
dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata
dm thin: use slab mempools
dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init
dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg
dm mpath: reduce size of struct multipath -
This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:thin_dump -m
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it
seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and
how it works.The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only
understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory
separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This
has tripped up a couple of users.Cc: Matthew Garrett

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

When we do checkpoint of a task we need to know the list of children the
task, has but there is no easy and fast way to generate reverse
parent->children chain from arbitrary (while a parent pid is
provided in "PPid" field of /proc//status).So instead of walking over all pids in the system (creating one big
process tree in memory, just to figure out which children a task has) --
we add explicit /proc//task//children entry, because the kernel
already has this kind of information but it is not yet exported.This is a first level children, not the whole process tree.

Commit b231cca4381e ("message queues: increase range limits") changed
mqueue default value when attr parameter is specified NULL from hard
coded value to fs.mqueue.{msg,msgsize}_max sysctl value.This made large side effect. When user need to use two mqueue
applications 1) using !NULL attr parameter and it require big message
size and 2) using NULL attr parameter and only need small size message,
app (1) require to raise fs.mqueue.msgsize_max and app (2) consume large
memory size even though it doesn't need.Doug Ledford propsed to switch back it to static hard coded value.
However it also has a compatibility problem. Some applications might
started depend on the default value is tunable.The solution is to separate default value from maximum value.

This is an implementation of Andrew's proposal to extend the pagemap file
bits to report what is missing about tasks' working set.The problem with the working set detection is multilateral. In the criu
(checkpoint/restore) project we dump the tasks' memory into image files
and to do it properly we need to detect which pages inside mappings are
really in use. The mincore syscall I though could help with this did not.
First, it doesn't report swapped pages, thus we cannot find out which
parts of anonymous mappings to dump. Next, it does report pages from page
cache as present even if they are not mapped, and it doesn't make that has
not been cow-ed.Note, that issue with swap pages is critical -- we must dump swap pages to
image file. But the issues with file pages are optimization -- we can
take all file pages to image, this would be correct, but if we know that a
page is not mapped or not cow-ed, we can remove them from dump file. The
dump would still be self-consistent, though significantly smaller in size
(up to 10 times smaller on real apps).Andrew noticed, that the proc pagemap file solved 2 of 3 above issues --
it reports whether a page is present or swapped and it doesn't report not
mapped page cache pages. But, it doesn't distinguish cow-ed file pages
from not cow-ed.I would like to make the last unused bit in this file to report whether the
page mapped into respective pte is PageAnon or not.[comment stolen from Pavel Emelyanov's v1 patch]

If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdogI will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
bulk of this patch.Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede

This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only
allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get
called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread,
or could share the fd after a fork.This causes 2 potential problems:
1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear,
if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active
bit indicates it is running or visa versa.2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one
watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary
true atm.Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
complaints. The last change to the series was before the weekend the
removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
himself - appeared to raise objections. So I removed it until the
situation is clarified. Other than that all the patches have the acks
from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
series.Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
flagship product, the FALCON SOC. It also means that the opensource
developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
chip variants, cleanups and fixes. Finally the usual dose of tweaking
of generic code."Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
printk.* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: (81 commits)

The leds timer trigger does not currently have an interface to activate a
one shot timer. The current support allows for setting two timers, one
for specifying how long a state to be on, and the second for how long the
state to be off. The delay_on value specifies the time period an LED
should stay in on state, followed by a delay_off value that specifies how
long the LED should stay in off state. The on and off cycle repeats until
the trigger gets deactivated. There is no provision for one time
activation to implement features that require an on or off state to be
held just once and then stay in the original state forever.Without one shot timer interface, user space can still use timer trigger
to set a timer to hold a state, however when user space application
crashes or goes away without deactivating the timer, the hardware will be
left in that state permanently.As a specific example of this use-case, let's look at vibrate feature on
phones. Vibrate function on phones is implemented using PWM pins on SoC
or PMIC. There is a need to activate one shot timer to control the
vibrate feature, to prevent user space crashes leaving the phone in
vibrate mode permanently causing the battery to drain.This trigger exports three properties, activate, state, and duration When
transient trigger is activated these properties are set to default values.- duration allows setting timer value in msecs. The initial value is 0.
- activate allows activating and deactivating the timer specified by
duration as needed. The initial and default value is 0. This will allow
duration to be set after trigger activation.
- state allows user to specify a transient state to be held for the specified
duration.Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan

Presently, at removal of cgroup, ->pre_destroy() is called and moves
charges to the parent cgroup. A major reason for returning -EBUSY from
->pre_destroy() is that the 'moving' hits the parent's resource
limitation. It happens only when use_hierarchy=0.Considering use_hierarchy=0, all cgroups should be flat. So, no one
cannot justify moving charges to parent...parent and children are in flat
configuration, not hierarchical.This patch modifes the code to move charges to the root cgroup at
rmdir/force_empty if use_hierarchy==0. This will much simplify rmdir()
and reduce error in ->pre_destroy.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

When killing a res_counter which is a child of other counter, we need to
dores_counter_uncharge(child, xxx)
res_counter_charge(parent, xxx)This is not atomic and wastes CPU. This patch adds
res_counter_uncharge_until(). This function's uncharge propagates to
ancestors until specified res_counter.res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx)
Now the operation is atomic and efficient.
