Very old hardware may have an analog stage tuner. Those hardware
consists of a PLL that converts a RF signal into IF signals.Depending on the hardware, those video IF signal can be
decoded directly by the bridge chipset. Most Conexant
chips (bt8x8, cx2388x, etc) have internally the decoders
for that. Yet, even on such hardware, the tuner may have
internally its own TV multi-standard decoder like tda9887.The same happens with the audio IF signal, where some bridges
are capable of receiving it, while others require an external
IF-PLL sound decoder, like msp3400.Those external IF-PLL audio and video decoders have their own
I2C address, and use different drivers to handle them. So, they're
mapped as different subdevices on Linux.Thankfully, all modern hardware comes with an IC chip that
has both the RF and the IF stages on it, being capable of
decoding audio and video IF signals internally.Yet, as we need to support drivers that can work with either
analog or silicon tuners, we need to add two entity types
for those old hardware.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated. This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
durability guarantees. Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.Cc: Jan Kara

Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"This is the second update for XFS that I mentioned in the original
pull request last week.It contains a revert for a suspend regression in 4.4 and a fix for a
long standing log recovery issue that has been further exposed by all
the log recovery changes made in the original 4.5 merge.There is one more thing in this pull request - one that I forgot to
merge into the origin. That is, pulling the XFS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR
ioctl up to the VFS level so that other filesystems can also use it
for modifying project quota IDsSummary:
- promotion of XFS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctl to the vfs level so that
it can be shared with other filesystems. The ext4 project quota
functionality is the first target for this. The commits in this
series have not been updated with review or final SOB tags because
the branch they were originally published in was needed by ext4.

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from
epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always
added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple
epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates
thundering herd type behavior.Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the
'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new
flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached
to a shared fd event source.The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an
event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads
blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which
are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event
to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds
that are attached to the shared fd source.Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version
of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of
this particular workload from 860s down to 24s.Sample epoll_clt text:
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE
Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is
being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event
occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same
target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an
event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event.
EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD.Signed-off-by: Jason Baron

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"We've had quite busy weeks in this cycle. Looking at ALSA core, the
significant changes are a few fixes wrt timer and sequencer ioctls
that have been revealed by fuzzer recently. Other than that, ASoC
core got a few updates about DAI link handling, but these are rather
straightforward refactoring.In drivers scene, ASoC received quite lots of new drivers in addition
to bunch of updates for still ongoing Intel Skylake support and
topology API. HD-audio gained a new HDMI/DP hotplug notification via
component. FireWire got a pile of code refactoring/updates with
SCS.1x driver integration.More highlights are shown below.
[ NOTE: this contains also many commits for DRM. This is due to the
pull of drm stable branch into sound tree, as the base of i915 audio
component work for HD-audio. The highlights below don't contain
these DRM changes, as these are supposed to be pulled via drm tree
in anyway sooner or later. ]Core:
- Handful fixes to harden ALSA timer and sequencer ioctls against
races reported by syzkaller fuzzer
- Irq description string can be unique to each card; only for

dynamically adding and removing DAI links
- Topology API enhancements to make everything more component based
and being able to specify PCM links via topology
- Some more fixes for the topology code, though it is still not final
and ready for enabling in production; we really need to get to the

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).Jason Evans said:
: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this
: out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it
: in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used
: applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately
: come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight
: into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see
: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)barrios@blaptop:~/benchmark/ebizzy$ lscpu

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (32 commits)

Pull second batch of media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"This is the second part of the media patches. It contains the media
controller next generation patches, with is the result of one year of
discussions and development. It also contains patches to enable media
controller support at the DVB subsystem.The goal is to improve the media controller to allow proper support
for other types of Video4Linux devices (radio and TV ones) and to
extend the media controller functionality to allow it to be used by
other subsystems like DVB, ALSA and IIO.In order to use the new functionality, a new ioctl is needed
(MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY). As we're still discussing how to pack the
struct fields of this ioctl in order to avoid compat32 issues, I
decided to add a patch at the end of this series commenting out the
new ioctl, in order to postpone the addition of the new ioctl to the
next Kernel version (4.6).With that, no userspace visible changes should happen at the media
controller API, as the existing ioctls are untouched. Yet, it helps
DVB, ALSA and IIO developers to develop and test the patches adding
media controller support there, as the core will contain all required
internal changes to allow adding support for devices that belong to
those subsystems"* tag 'media/v4.5-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (177 commits)

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current
upstream merge window. Last window's set was short, but I warned that
this one would be bigger, and so it is. We've got 19 patches:- A patch from Abhi Das to propagate the GFS2_DIF_SYSTEM bit so that
newly added journals don't get flagged, deleted, and recreated by
fsck.gfs2.- Two patches from Andreas Gruenbacher to improve GFS2 performance
where extended attributes are involved.- A patch from Andy Price to fix a suspicious rcu dereference error.
- Two patches from Ben Marzinski that rework how GFS2's NFS cookies
are managed. This fixes readdir problems with nfs-over-gfs2.- A patch from Ben Marzinski that fixes a race in unmounting GFS2.
- A set of four patches from me to move the resource group
reservations inside the gfs2 inode to improve performance and fix a
bug whereby get_write_access improperly prevented some operations
like chown.- A patch from me to spinlock-protect the setting of system statfs
file data. This was causing small discrepancies between df and du.- A patch from me to reintroduce a timeout while clearing glocks
which was accidentally dropped some time ago.- A patch from me to wait for iopen glock dequeues in order to
improve deleting of files that were unlinked from a different
cluster node.- A patch from me to ensure metadata address spaces get truncated
when an inode is evicted.- A patch from me to fix a bug in which a memory leak could occur in
some error cases when inodes were trying to be created.- A patch to consistently use iopen glocks to transition from the
unlinked state to the deleted state.- A patch to fix a glock reference count error when inode creation
fails.- A patch from Junxiao Bi to fix an flock panic.
- A patch from Markus Elfring that removes an unnecessary if"

Now that a device can be managed using the system blocks, a method to
reset the device is necessary as well. This patch introduces logic to
reset the device easily to factory state and exposes it through an
ioctl.The ioctl takes the following flags:
NVM_FACTORY_ERASE_ONLY_USER
By default all blocks, except host-reserved blocks are erased upon
factory reset. Instead of this, only erase host-reserved blocks.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_HOST_BLKS
Mark host-reserved blocks to be erased and set their type to free.
NVM_FACTORY_RESET_GRWN_BBLKS
Mark "grown bad blocks" to be erased and set their type to free.Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling

Based on the previous patch, we now introduce an ioctl to initialize the
device using nvm_init_sysblock and create the necessary system blocks.
The user may specify the media manager that they wish to instantiate on
top. Default from user-space will be "gennvm".Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling

An Open-Channel SSD shall be initialized before use. To initialize, we
define an on-disk format, that keeps a small set of metadata to bring up
the media manager on top of the device.The initial step is introduced to allow a user to format the disks for a
given media manager. During format, a system block is stored on one to
three separate luns on the device. Each lun has the system block
duplicated. During initialization, the system block can be retrieved and
the appropriate media manager can initialized.The on-disk format currently covers (struct nvm_system_block):
- Magic value "NVMS".
- Monotonic increasing sequence number.
- The physical block erase count.
- Version of the system block format.
- Media manager type.
- Media manager superblock physical address.The interface provides three functions to manage the system block:
int nvm_init_sysblock(struct nvm_dev *, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_get_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)
int nvm_update_sysblock(struct nvm *dev, struct nvm_sb_info *)Each implement a part of the logic to manage the system block. The
initialization creates the first system blocks and mark them on the
device. Get retrieves the latest system block by scanning all pages in
the associated system blocks. The update sysblock writes new metadata
and allocates new block if necessary.Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling
