After using the offset of the swap entry as the key of the swap cache,
the page_index() becomes exactly same as page_file_index(). So the
page_file_index() is removed and the callers are changed to use
page_index() instead.

The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If
THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
value.
CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to
reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
reduced accordingly.
To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch
the global counter in two cases:
1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.
Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be
eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
was ever used.
And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired,
I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.
Case used for test on Haswell EP:
usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G
Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

Trying to walk all of virtual memory requires architecture specific
knowledge. On x86_64, addresses must be sign extended from bit 48,
whereas on arm64 the top VA_BITS of address space have their own set of
page tables.
clear_refs_write() calls walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, it
provides a test_walk() callback that only expects to be walking over
VMAs. Currently walk_pmd_range() will skip memory regions that don't
have a VMA, reporting them as a hole.
As this call only expects to walk user address space, make it walk 0 to
'highest_vm_end'.

When freeing permission events by fsnotify_destroy_event(), the warning

This is because although fanotify_get_response() saw event->response

Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events
waiting for a response from userspace.
However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is
protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue
and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which
makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code. So make
fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its
private event list.

fsnotify_flush_notify() and fanotify_release() destroy notification
event while holding notification_mutex.
The destruction of fanotify event includes a path_put() call which may
end up calling into a filesystem to delete an inode if we happen to be
the last holders of dentry reference which happens to be the last holder
of inode reference.
That in turn may violate lock ordering for some filesystems since
notification_mutex is also acquired e. g. during write when generating
fanotify event.
Also this is the only thing that forces notification_mutex to be a
sleeping lock. So drop notification_mutex before destroying a
notification event.

"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs and iomap updates from Dave Chinner:
"The main things in this update are the iomap-based DAX infrastructure,
an XFS delalloc rework, and a chunk of fixes to how log recovery
schedules writeback to prevent spurious corruption detections when
recovery of certain items was not required.
The other main chunk of code is some preparation for the upcoming
reflink functionality. Most of it is generic and cleanups that stand
alone, but they were ready and reviewed so are in this pull request.
Speaking of reflink, I'm currently planning to send you another pull
request next week containing all the new reflink functionality. I'm
working through a similar process to the last cycle, where I sent the
reverse mapping code in a separate request because of how large it
was. The reflink code merge is even bigger than reverse mapping, so
I'll be doing the same thing again....
Summary for this update:
- change of XFS mailing list to linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org
- iomap-based DAX infrastructure w/ XFS and ext2 support
- small iomap fixes and additions
- more efficient XFS delayed allocation infrastructure based on iomap
- a rework of log recovery writeback scheduling to ensure we don't
fail recovery when trying to replay items that are already on disk
- some preparation patches for upcoming reflink support
- configurable error handling fixes and documentation
- aio access time update race fixes for XFS and
generic_file_read_iter"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Correct ARMs dma-mapping to use the correct printk format strings.
- Avoid defining OBJCOPYFLAGS globally which upsets lkdtm rodata
testing.
- Cleanups to ARMs asm/memory.h include.
- L2 cache cleanups.
- Allow flat nommu binaries to be executed on ARM MMU systems.
- Kernel hardening - add more read-only after init annotations,
including making some kernel vdso variables const.
- Ensure AMBA primecell clocks are appropriately defaulted.
- ARM breakpoint cleanup.
- Various StrongARM 11x0 and companion chip (SA1111) updates to bring
this legacy platform to use more modern APIs for (eg) GPIOs and
interrupts, which will allow us in the future to reduce some of the
board-level driver clutter and elimate function callbacks into board
code via platform data. There still appears to be interest in these
platforms!
- Remove the now redundant secure_flush_area() API.
- Module PLT relocation optimisations. Ard says: This series of 4
patches optimizes the ARM PLT generation code that is invoked at
module load time, to get rid of the O(n^2) algorithm that results in
pathological load times of 10 seconds or more for large modules on
certain STB platforms.
- ARMv7M cache maintanence support.
- L2 cache PMU support

1. Fabian Frederick submitted a nice cleanup that uses the BIT macro
rather than bit shifting.

readahead feature.
4. Chao Yu contributed a patch that checks the return code from function
register_shrinker and reacts accordingly. Previously, it was not checked.
5. Andreas Gruenbacher also fixed a problem whereby incore file timestamps
were forgotten if the file was invalidated. This merely moves the
assignment inside the inode glock where it belongs.
6. He also fixed a problem where incore timestamps were not initialized.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle were:
- Refactor the EFI memory map code into architecture neutral files
and allow drivers to permanently reserve EFI boot services regions
on x86, as well as ARM/arm64. (Matt Fleming)
- Add ARM support for the EFI ESRT driver. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Make the EFI runtime services and efivar API interruptible by
swapping spinlocks for semaphores. (Sylvain Chouleur)
- Provide the EFI identity mapping for kexec which allows kexec to
work on SGI/UV platforms with requiring the "noefi" kernel command
line parameter. (Alex Thorlton)
- Add debugfs node to dump EFI page tables on arm64. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Merge the EFI test driver being carried out of tree until now in
the FWTS project. (Ivan Hu)
- Expand the list of flags for classifying EFI regions as "RAM" on
arm64 so we align with the UEFI spec. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Optimise out the EFI mixed mode if it's unsupported (CONFIG_X86_32)
or disabled (CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=n) and switch the early EFI boot
services function table for direct calls, alleviating us from
having to maintain the custom function table. (Lukas Wunner)
- Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes"

...
After the call to __blkdev_direct_IO the final reference to the file
might have been dropped by aio_complete already, and the call to
file_accessed might cause a use after free.
Instead update the access time before the I/O, similar to how we
update the time stamps before writes.

For 32-bit architectures we need to cast first_block to u64 before
shifting it left.

Only two flags: "default_permissions" and "allow_other". All other flags
are handled via bitfields. So convert these two as well. They don't
change during the lifetime of the filesystem, so this is quite safe.

Store in memory pointed to by ->d_fsdata. Use ->d_init() to allocate the
storage. Need to use RCU freeing because the data is used in RCU lookup
mode.
We could cast ->d_fsdata directly on 64bit archs, but I don't think this is
worth the extra complexity.
