The variable 'consumed' is initialized with the consumed count but
immediately after that the consumed count is updated and assigned to
'consumed' again thus overwriting the previous value. So, drop the
unneeded initialization.Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee

When reading, read_pos should start with bytes_consumed, not file->f_pos.
Because when there is more than one reader, the read_pos corresponding to
file->f_pos may have been consumed, which will cause the data that has

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:kmalloc(a * b, gfp)
with:
kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)as well as handling cases of:
kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)
with:
kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)
as it's slightly less ugly than:
kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)
This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:
kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)
though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.
Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().The Coccinelle script used for this was:

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
donewith de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.Scripted-by: Al Viro

Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of
readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the
context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to
prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is
generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock.The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for
delegating the wakeup to another context.
commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7
Author: Tom Zanussi
Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work
relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers
when a simple timer will do.Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup
causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes
relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the
data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting
filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every
newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub
buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap
between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub
buffers to store the new data.By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked
in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer
tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes
relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use
irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.[arnd@arndb.de: select CONFIG_IRQ_WORK]

Pull VFS splice updates from Al Viro:
"There's a bunch of branches this cycle, both mine and from other folks
and I'd rather send pull requests separately.This one is the conversion of ->splice_read() to ITER_PIPE iov_iter
(and introduction of such). Gets rid of a lot of code in fs/splice.c
and elsewhere; there will be followups, but these are for the next
cycle... Some pipe/splice-related cleanups from Miklos in the same
branch as well"* 'work.splice_read' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
pipe: fix comment in pipe_buf_operations
pipe: add pipe_buf_steal() helper
pipe: add pipe_buf_confirm() helper
pipe: add pipe_buf_release() helper
pipe: add pipe_buf_get() helper
relay: simplify relay_file_read()
switch default_file_splice_read() to use of pipe-backed iov_iter
switch generic_file_splice_read() to use of ->read_iter()
new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backed
fuse_dev_splice_read(): switch to add_to_pipe()
skb_splice_bits(): get rid of callback
new helper: add_to_pipe()
splice: lift pipe_lock out of splice_to_pipe()
splice: switch get_iovec_page_array() to iov_iter
splice_to_pipe(): don't open-code wakeup_pipe_readers()
consistent treatment of EFAULT on O_DIRECT read/write

Install the callbacks via the state machine. They are installed at run time but
relay_prepare_cpu() does not need to be invoked by the boot CPU because
relay_open() was not yet invoked and there are no pools that need to be created.Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

relay essentially needs to maintain a per CPU array of channel buffer
pointers but it manually creates that array. Instead its better to use
the per CPU constructs, provided by the kernel, to allocate & access the
array of pointer to channel buffers.Signed-off-by: Akash Goel

Commit 20d8b67c06fa ("relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early
logging") added support to use channels with no associated files.This is useful when the exact location of relay file is not known or the
the parent directory of relay file is not available, while creating the
channel and the logging has to start right from the boot.But there was no provision to use global mode with buffer-only channels,
which is added by this patch, without modifying the interface where
initially there will be a dummy invocation of create_buf_file callback
through which kernel client can convey the need of a global buffer.For the use case where drivers/kernel clients want a simple interface
for the userspace, which enables them to capture data/logs from relay
file inorder & without any post processing, support of Global buffer
mode is warranted.Modules, like i915, using relay_open() in early init would have to later
register their buffer-only relays, once debugfs is available, by calling
relay_late_setup_files(). Hence relay_late_setup_files() symbol also
needs to be exported.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1468404563-11653-1-git-send-email-akash.goel@intel.com

inode_foo(inode) being mutex_foo(&inode->i_mutex).Please, use those for access to ->i_mutex; over the coming cycle
->i_mutex will become rwsem, with ->lookup() done with it held

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
window.Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
(mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
mainline and with some I want more testing.This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
usual beating. BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
positive, might be a real regression..."* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/20/589
