In linux-4.13, Wei worked hard to convert dst to a traditional
refcounted model, removing GC.We now want to make sure a dst refcount can not transition from 0 back
to 1.The problem here is that input path attached a not refcounted dst to an
skb. Then later, because packet is forwarded and hits skb_dst_force()
before exiting RCU section, we might try to take a refcount on one dst
that is about to be freed, if another cpu saw 1 -> 0 transition in
dst_release() and queued the dst for freeing after one RCU grace period.Lets unify skb_dst_force() and skb_dst_force_safe(), since we should
always perform the complete check against dst refcount, and not assume
it is not zero.Bugzilla : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197005

Normally, when input device supporting force feedback effects is being
destroyed, we try to "flush" currently playing effects, so that the
physical device does not continue vibrating (or executing other effects).
Unfortunately this does not work well for uinput as flushing of the effects
deadlocks with the destroy action:- if device is being destroyed because the file descriptor is being closed,
then there is noone to even service FF requests;- if device is being destroyed because userspace sent UI_DEV_DESTROY,
while theoretically it could be possible to service FF requests,
userspace is unlikely to do so (they'd need to make sure FF handling
happens on a separate thread) even if kernel solves the issue with FF
ioctls deadlocking with UI_DEV_DESTROY ioctl on udev->mutex.To avoid lockups like the one below, let's install a custom input device
flush handler, and avoid trying to flush force feedback effects when we
destroying the device, and instead rely on uinput to shut off the device
properly.NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 3

Commit 3f1ac7a700d0 ("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API")
deprecated the ethtool_cmd::transceiver field, which was fine in
premise, except that the PHY library was actually using it to report the
type of transceiver: internal or external.Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver
field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the
ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this
is mostly for the legacy path where we do:ethtool_get_settings()
-> dev->ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings()
-> convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings()to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.

This patch fixes a bug exhibited by the following scenario:
1. fd1 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
2. attach bpf program prog1 to fd1
3. fd2 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
4. user program closes fd2 and prog1 is detached from the tracepoint.
5. user program with fd1 does not work properly as tracepoint
no output any more.The issue happens at step 4. Multiple perf_event_open can be called
successfully, but only one bpf prog pointer in the tp_event. In the
current logic, any fd release for the same tp_event will free
the tp_event->prog.The fix is to free tp_event->prog only when the closing fd
corresponds to the one which registered the program.Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song

Due to commit db3e50f3234b (device property: Get rid of struct
fwnode_handle type field), ACPI_HANDLE() inadvertently became
a GPL-only call. The call path that led to that was:ACPI_HANDLE()
ACPI_COMPANION()
to_acpi_device_node()
is_acpi_device_node()
acpi_device_fwnode_ops
DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS(acpi_device_fwnode_ops);...and the new DECLARE_ACPI_FWNODE_OPS() includes
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, whereas previously it was a static struct.In order to avoid changing any of that, let's instead provide ever
so slightly better encapsulation of those struct fwnode_operations
instances. Those do not really need to be directly used in
inline function calls in header files. Simply moving two small
functions (is_acpi_device_node and is_acpi_data_node) out of
acpi_bus.h, and into a .c file, does that.That leaves the internals of struct fwnode_operations as GPL-only
(which I think was the intent all along), but un-breaks any driver
code out there that relies on the ACPI subsystem's being (historically)
an EXPORT_SYMBOL-usable system. By that, I mean, ACPI_HANDLE() and
other basic ACPI calls were non-GPL-protected.Also, while I'm there, remove a tiny bit of redundancy that was missed
in the earlier commit, by having is_acpi_node() use the other two
routines, instead of checking fwnode directly.Fixes: db3e50f3234b (device property: Get rid of struct fwnode_handle type field)

Commit 86fdb3448cc1 ("sctp: ensure ep is not destroyed before doing the
dump") tried to fix an use-after-free issue by checking !sctp_sk(sk)->ep
with holding sock and sock lock.But Paolo noticed that endpoint could be destroyed in sctp_rcv without
sock lock protection. It means the use-after-free issue still could be
triggered when sctp_rcv put and destroy ep after sctp_sock_dump checks
!ep, although it's pretty hard to reproduce.I could reproduce it by mdelay in sctp_rcv while msleep in sctp_close
and sctp_sock_dump long time.This patch is to add another param cb_done to sctp_for_each_transport
and dump ep->assocs with holding tsp after jumping out of transport's
traversal in it to avoid this issue.It can also improve sctp diag dump to make it run faster, as no need
to save sk into cb->args[5] and keep calling sctp_for_each_transport
any more.This patch is also to use int * instead of int for the pos argument
in sctp_for_each_transport, which could make postion increment only
in sctp_for_each_transport and no need to keep changing cb->args[2]
in sctp_sock_filter and sctp_sock_dump any more.Fixes: 86fdb3448cc1 ("sctp: ensure ep is not destroyed before doing the dump")

Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
"Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
request.zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
commit:I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
`silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
commands for the benchmark:sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_testThe time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
The MB/s is computed with1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)
which includes the time to copy from userland.
The Adjusted MB/s is computed with1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).
The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
requests.| Method | Size (B) | Time (s) | Ratio | MB/s | Adj MB/s | Mem (MB) |

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.[ v2: Remove bookmark_wake_function ]
Signed-off-by: Tim Chen
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds -
We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
execute all the wake functions.We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
hot pages that are shared by many threads.Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
rescheduling latency.This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.[ v2: Merged in Linus' changes to remove the bookmark_wake_function, and
simply access to flags. ]Reported-by: Kan Liang
