Add a tracepoint to dax_insert_mapping(), following the same logging
conventions as the rest of DAX. This tracepoint, along with the one in
dax_load_hole(), lets us know how a DAX PTE fault was serviced.Here is an example DAX fault that inserts a PTE mapping:

Patch series "second round of tracepoints for DAX".
This second round of DAX tracepoint patches adds tracing to the PTE
fault path (dax_iomap_pte_fault(), dax_pfn_mkwrite(), dax_load_hole(),
dax_insert_mapping()) and to the writeback path
(dax_writeback_mapping_range(), dax_writeback_one()).The purpose of this tracing is to give us a high level view of what DAX
is doing, whether faults are being serviced by PMDs or PTEs, and by real
storage or by zero pages covering holes.I do have some patches nearly ready which also add tracing to
grab_mapping_entry() and dax_insert_mapping_entry(). These are more
targeted at logging how we are interacting with the radix tree, how we
use empty entries for locking, whether we "downgrade" huge zero pages to
4k PTE sized allocations, etc. In the end it seemed to me that this
might be too detailed to have as constantly present tracepoints, but if
anyone sees value in having tracepoints like this in the DAX code
permanently (Jan?), please let me know and I'll add those last two
patches.All these tracepoints were done to be consistent with the style of the
XFS tracepoints and with the existing DAX PMD tracepoints.This patch (of 6):
Add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault(), following the same logging
conventions as the rest of DAX.Here is an example fault that initially tries to be serviced by the PMD
fault handler but which falls back to PTEs because the VMA isn't large

CURRENT_TIME macro is not y2038 safe on 32 bit systems.
The patch replaces all the uses of CURRENT_TIME by current_time() for
filesystem times, and ktime_get_* functions for authentication
timestamps and timezone calculations.This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions vfs
timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them y2038 safe.CURRENT_TIME macro will be deleted before merging the aforementioned
change.The inode timestamps read from the server are assumed to have correct
granularity and range.The patch also assumes that the difference between server and client
times lie in the range INT_MIN..INT_MAX. This is valid because this is
the difference between current times between server and client, and the
largest timezone difference is in the range of one day.All cifs timestamps currently use timespec representation internally.
Authentication and timezone timestamps can also be transitioned into
using timespec64 when all other timestamps for cifs is transitioned to
use timespec64.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1491613030-11599-4-git-send-email-deepa.kernel@gmail.com

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170307141020.29107-1-mhocko@kernel.org

getxattr uses vmalloc to allocate memory if kzalloc fails. This is
filled by vfs_getxattr and then copied to the userspace. vmalloc,
however, doesn't zero out the memory so if the specific implementation
of the xattr handler is sloppy we can theoretically expose a kernel
memory. There is no real sign this is really the case but let's make
sure this will not happen and use vzalloc instead.Fixes: 779302e67835 ("fs/xattr.c:getxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures")

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.comThis patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.[sfr@canb.auug.org.au: f2fs fixup]

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
notification from the kbuild robot.Change summary:
- Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
namespace modes or state.This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
devices.- Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
memory support.- 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
(asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
-stable.- ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
payload debug available by default, and various fixes.Acknowledgements that came after the branch was pushed:

"We've got ten GFS2 patches for this merge window.- Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a patch to replace the deprecated call to
rhashtable_walk_init with rhashtable_walk_enter.- Andreas also wrote a patch to eliminate redundant code in two of
our debugfs sequence files.- Andreas also cleaned up the rhashtable key ugliness Linus pointed
out during this cycle, following Linus's suggestions.- Andreas also wrote a patch to take advantage of his new function
rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast. This makes glock lookup faster
and more bullet-proof.- Andreas also wrote a patch to revert a patch in the evict path that
caused occasional deadlocks, and is no longer needed.- Andrew Price wrote a patch to re-enable fallocate for the rindex
system file to enable gfs2_grow to grow properly on secondary file
system grow operations.- I wrote a patch to initialize an inode number field to make certain
kernel trace points more understandable.- I also wrote a patch that makes GFS2 file system "withdraw" work
more like it should by ignoring operations after a withdraw that
would formerly cause a BUG() and kernel panic.- I also reworked the entire truncate/delete algorithm, scrapping the
old recursive algorithm in favor of a new non-recursive algorithm.
This was done for performance: This way, GFS2 no longer needs to
lock multiple resource groups while doing truncates and deletes of
files that cross multiple resource group boundaries, allowing for
better parallelism. It also solves a problem whereby deleting large
files would request a large chunk of kernel memory, which resulted
in a get_page_from_freelist warning.- Due to a regression found during testing, I added a new patch to
correct 'GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws
occur'."* tag 'gfs2-4.12.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2:

"One fix from Fabian Frederick making the nfs client still work after a

befs: make export work with cold dcache -
This bug fixes a regression introduced by patch 0d1c7ae9d8.
The intent of the patch was to stop promoting glocks after a
file system is withdrawn due to a variety of errors, because doing
so results in a BUG(). (You should be able to unmount after a
withdraw rather than having the kernel panic.)Unfortunately, it also stopped demotions, so glocks could not be
unlocked after withdraw, which means the unmount would hang.This patch allows function do_xmote to demote locks to an
unlocked state after a withdraw, but not promote them.Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

Commit 28b783e47ad7 ("xfs: bufferhead chains are invalid after
end_page_writeback") fixed one use-after-free issue by
pre-calculating the loop conditionals before calling bh->b_end_io()
in the end_io processing loop, but it assigned 'next' pointer before
checking end offset boundary & breaking the loop, at which point the
bh might be freed already, and caused use-after-free.This is caught by KASAN when running fstests generic/127 on sub-page
