Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department delivers:- Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU
hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner)Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for:
- Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The
main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a
outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again.
That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and
reestablishing affinities for no value. (Christoph Hellwig)Note: This contains also the BLOCK-MQ and NVME changes which depend
on the rework of the irq core infrastructure. Jens acked them and
agreed that they should go with the irq changes.- Consolidation of irq domain code (Marc Zyngier)
- State tracking consolidation in the core code (Jeffy Chen)
- Add debug infrastructure for hierarchical irq domains (Thomas
Gleixner)- Infrastructure enhancement for managing generic interrupt chips via
devmem (Bartosz Golaszewski)- Constification work all over the place (Tobias Klauser)

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
core cleanups.Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
already sent out.This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set

don't really need them.- Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

This patch performs sequential mapping between CPUs and queues.
In case the system has more CPUs than HWQs then there are still
CPUs to map to HWQs. In hyperthreaded system, map the unmapped CPUs
and their siblings to the same HWQ.
This actually fixes a bug that found unmapped HWQs in a system with
2 sockets, 18 cores per socket, 2 threads per core (total 72 CPUs)
running NVMEoF (opens upto maximum of 64 HWQs).Performance results running fio (72 jobs, 128 iodepth)
using null_blk (w/w.o patch):bs IOPS(read submit_queues=72) IOPS(write submit_queues=72) IOPS(read submit_queues=24) IOPS(write submit_queues=24)

SUnreclaim: 22720256 kBWhen testcases with T10 enabled call into __blkdev_direct_IO_simple,
code doesn't free memory allocated by bio_integrity_alloc. The patch
fixes the issue. HTX has been run with +60 hours without failure."Since __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() allocates the bio on the stack, it
doesn't go through the regular bio free. This means that any ancillary
data allocated with the bio through the stack is not freed. Hence, we
can leak the integrity data associated with the bio, if the device is
using DIF/DIX.Fix this by providing a bio_uninit() and export it, so that we can use
it to free this data. Note that this is a minimal fix for this issue.
Any current user of bio's that are allocated outside of
bio_alloc_bioset() suffers from this issue, most notably some drivers.
We will fix those in a more comprehensive patch for 4.13. This also
means that the commit marked as being fixed by this isn't the real
culprit, it's just the most obvious one out there.Fixes: 542ff7bf18c6 ("block: new direct I/O implementation")

This commit fixes a bug triggered by a non-trivial sequence of
events. These events are briefly described in the next two
paragraphs. The impatiens, or those who are familiar with queue
merging and splitting, can jump directly to the last paragraph.On each I/O-request arrival for a shared bfq_queue, i.e., for a
bfq_queue that is the result of the merge of two or more bfq_queues,
BFQ checks whether the shared bfq_queue has become seeky (i.e., if too
many random I/O requests have arrived for the bfq_queue; if the device
is non rotational, then random requests must be also small for the
bfq_queue to be tagged as seeky). If the shared bfq_queue is actually
detected as seeky, then a split occurs: the bfq I/O context of the
process that has issued the request is redirected from the shared
bfq_queue to a new non-shared bfq_queue. As a degenerate case, if the
shared bfq_queue actually happens to be shared only by one process
(because of previous splits), then no new bfq_queue is created: the
state of the shared bfq_queue is just changed from shared to non
shared.Regardless of whether a brand new non-shared bfq_queue is created, or
the pre-existing shared bfq_queue is just turned into a non-shared
bfq_queue, several parameters of the non-shared bfq_queue are set
(restored) to the original values they had when the bfq_queue
associated with the bfq I/O context of the process (that has just
issued an I/O request) was merged with the shared bfq_queue. One of
these parameters is the weight-raising state.If, on the split of a shared bfq_queue,
1) a pre-existing shared bfq_queue is turned into a non-shared
bfq_queue;
2) the previously shared bfq_queue happens to be busy;
3) the weight-raising state of the previously shared bfq_queue happens
to change;
the number of weight-raised busy queues changes. The field
wr_busy_queues must then be updated accordingly, but such an update
was missing. This commit adds the missing update.Reported-by: Luca Miccio

If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.Fixes: 6d8c6c0f97ad ("blk-mq: Restart a single queue if tag sets are shared")

followed by a call to blk_mq_map_swqueue() (see also

A new bio operation flag REQ_NOWAIT is introduced to identify bio's
orignating from iocb with IOCB_NOWAIT. This flag indicates
to return immediately if a request cannot be made instead
of retrying.Stacked devices such as md (the ones with make_request_fn hooks)
currently are not supported because it may block for housekeeping.
For example, an md can have a part of the device suspended.
For this reason, only request based devices are supported.
In the future, this feature will be expanded to stacked devices
by teaching them how to handle the REQ_NOWAIT flags.Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig

not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entryFor example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {Cc: Linus Torvalds

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.Cc: Linus Torvalds
