  • Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
    iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
    uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
    obscure header file dependency.

    So this fixes things up a bit, using

    grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
    grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

    to guide us in finding files that either need
    inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

    There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
    many core ones.

  • All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
    nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
    .llseek pointer.

    The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
    and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
    the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
    the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

    New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
    and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
    to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
    relies on calling seek on the device file.

    The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
    comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
    chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
    be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
    seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

    Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
    the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

    Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
    patch that does all this.

  • GRU Message queue instructions are used to deliver messages to other SSIs
    within the numalink domain. In most cases, a single GRU mesq instruction
    will deliver both the message AND an interrupt to notify the other SSI
    that a messsage is present. In some cases, however, the interrupt must be
    sent explicitly.

    To improve resilency, the GRU driver should send these explicit interrupts
    using the GRU to write the remote chipset register. Current code sends
    the interrupt using a cpu instruction to write the chipset register.
