      dax: fix build warnings with FS_DAX and !FS_IOMAP · 6affb9d7
      Ross Zwisler authored 
      As reported by Arnd:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/10/756

Compiling with the following configuration:

  # CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_FS_IOMAP depends on the above filesystems, as is not set
  CONFIG_FS_DAX=y

generates build warnings about unused functions in fs/dax.c:

  fs/dax.c:878:12: warning: `dax_insert_mapping' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_insert_mapping(struct address_space *mapping,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:572:12: warning: `copy_user_dax' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int copy_user_dax(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector, size_t size,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:542:12: warning: `dax_load_hole' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_load_hole(struct address_space *mapping, void **entry,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:312:14: warning: `grab_mapping_entry' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static void *grab_mapping_entry(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t index,
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that the struct buffer_head based DAX fault paths and I/O path have
been removed we really depend on iomap support being present for DAX.
Make this explicit by selecting FS_IOMAP if we compile in DAX support.

This allows us to remove conditional selections of FS_IOMAP when FS_DAX
was present for ext2 and ext4, and to remove an #ifdef in fs/dax.c.

      mm/huge_memory.c: respect FOLL_FORCE/FOLL_COW for thp · 8310d48b
      Keno Fischer authored 
      In commit 19be0eaf ("mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from
__get_user_pages()"), the mm code was changed from unsetting FOLL_WRITE
after a COW was resolved to setting the (newly introduced) FOLL_COW
instead.  Simultaneously, the check in gup.c was updated to still allow
writes with FOLL_FORCE set if FOLL_COW had also been set.

However, a similar check in huge_memory.c was forgotten.  As a result,
remote memory writes to ro regions of memory backed by transparent huge
pages cause an infinite loop in the kernel (handle_mm_fault sets
FOLL_COW and returns 0 causing a retry, but follow_trans_huge_pmd bails
out immidiately because `(flags & FOLL_WRITE) && !pmd_write(*pmd)` is
true.

While in this state the process is stil SIGKILLable, but little else
works (e.g.  no ptrace attach, no other signals).  This is easily
reproduced with the following code (assuming thp are set to always):

    #include <assert.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdi...

      memory_hotplug: make zone_can_shift() return a boolean value · 8a1f780e
      Yasuaki Ishimatsu authored 
      online_{kernel|movable} is used to change the memory zone to
ZONE_{NORMAL|MOVABLE} and online the memory.

To check that memory zone can be changed, zone_can_shift() is used.
Currently the function returns minus integer value, plus integer
value and 0. When the function returns minus or plus integer value,
it means that the memory zone can be changed to ZONE_{NORNAL|MOVABLE}.

But when the function returns 0, there are two meanings.

One of the meanings is that the memory zone does not need to be changed.
For example, when memory is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_kernel
the memory zone does not need to be changed.

Another meaning is that the memory zone cannot be changed. When memory
is in ZONE_NORMAL and onlined by online_movable, the memory zone may
not be changed to ZONE_MOVALBE due to memory online limitation(see
Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt). In this case, memory must not be
onlined.

The patch changes the return type of zone_can...

      Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "Two fixes:

   - a regression fix for the multiple-pmem-namespace-per-region support
     added in 4.9. Even if an existing environment is not using that
     feature the act of creating and a destroying a single namespace
     with the ndctl utility will lead to the proliferation of extra
     unwanted namespace devices.

   - a fix for the error code returned from the pmem driver when the
     memcpy_mcsafe() routine returns -EFAULT. Btrfs seems to be the only
     block I/O consumer that tries to parse the meaning of the error
     code when it is non-zero.

  Neither of these fixes are critical, the namespace leak is awkward in
  that it can cause device naming to change and complicates debugging
  namespace initialization issues. The error code fix is included out of
  caution for what other consumers might be expecting -EIO for block I/O
  errors"

      powerpc: Ignore reserved field in DCSR and PVR reads and writes · 178f3582
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      
IBM bit 31 (for the rest of us - bit 0) is a reserved field in the
instruction definition of mtspr and mfspr. Hardware is encouraged to
(and does) ignore it.

As a result, if userspace executes an mtspr DSCR with the reserved bit
set, we get a DSCR facility unavailable exception. The kernel fails to
match against the expected value/mask, and we silently return to
userspace to try and re-execute the same mtspr DSCR instruction. We
loop forever until the process is killed.

We should do something here, and it seems mirroring what hardware does
is the better option vs killing the process. While here, relax the
matching of mfspr PVR too.
