d79698da32 ceph: document unlocked d_parent accesses
For the most part we don't care about racing with rename when directing
MDS requests; either the old or new parent is fine.  Document that, and
do some minor cleanup.

41b02e1f9b ceph: explicitly reference rename old_dentry parent dir in request
We carry a pin on the parent directory for the rename source and dest
dentries.  For the source it's r_locked_dir; we need to explicitly
reference the old_dentry parent as well, since the dentry's d_parent may
change between when the request was created and pinned and when it is
freed.

e5f86dc377 ceph: avoid d_parent in ceph_dentry_hash; fix ceph_encode_fh() hashing bug
Have caller pass in a safely-obtained reference to the parent directory
for calculating a dentry's hash valud.

While we're here, simpify the flow through ceph_encode_fh() so that there
is a single exit point and cleanup.

Also fix a bug with the dentry hash calculation: calculate the hash for the
dentry we were given, not its parent.

48d0cbd124 ceph: handle racing calls to ceph_init_dentry
The ->lookup() and prepopulate_readdir() callers are working with unhashed
dentries, so we don't have to worry.  The export.c callers, though, need
to initialize something they got back from d_obtain_alias() and are
potentially racing with other callers.  Make sure we don't return unless
the dentry is properly initialized (by us or someone else).

4cf9d54463 libceph: don't time out osd requests that haven't been received
Keep track of when an outgoing message is ACKed (i.e., the server fully
received it and, presumably, queued it for processing).  Time out OSD
requests only if it's been too long since they've been received.

This prevents timeouts and connection thrashing when the OSDs are simply
busy and are throttling the requests they read off the network.

af0ed569d7 ceph: fix snap writeback when racing with writes

write is in progress:

 - The FILE_WR cap is held, but not yet dirty, so we may queue a capsnap
   with dirty == 0.  That will crash later in __ceph_flush_snaps().  Or
   on the FILE_WR cap if a write is in progress.
 - We may not have i_head_snapc set, which causes problems pretty quickly.

b91da88fed vfs: drop conditional inode prefetch in __do_lookup_rcu
It seems to hurt performance in real life.  Yes, the inode will be used
later, but the conditional doesn't seem to predict all that well
(negative dentries are not uncommon) and it looks like the cost of
prefetching is simply higher than depending on the cache doing the right
thing.

b307d4655a FS-Cache: Fix __fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages()'s outer loop
The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the
comparison:

	next <= (loff_t)-1

is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all
other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t).  The
intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than
eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited
when "next" would otherwise wrap.

On m68k the following warning is observed:

  fs/fscache/page.c: In function '__fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages':

a841796f11 signal: align __lock_task_sighand() irq disabling and RCU
The __lock_task_sighand() function calls rcu_read_lock() with interrupts
and preemption enabled, but later calls rcu_read_unlock() with interrupts
disabled.  It is therefore possible that this RCU read-side critical
section will be preempted and later RCU priority boosted, which means that
rcu_read_unlock() will call rt_mutex_unlock() in order to deboost itself, but
with interrupts disabled. This results in lockdep splats, so this commit
nests the RCU read-side critical section within the interrupt-disabled
region of code.  This prevents the RCU read-side critical section from
being preempted, and thus prevents the attempt to deboost with interrupts
disabled.

It is quite possible that a better long-term fix is to make rt_mutex_unlock()
disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock.

ec433f0c51 softirq,rcu: Inform RCU of irq_exit() activity
The rcu_read_unlock_special() function relies on in_irq() to exclude
scheduler activity from interrupt level.  This fails because exit_irq()
can invoke the scheduler after clearing the preempt_count() bits that
in_irq() uses to determine that it is at interrupt level.  This situation
can result in failures as follows:

 $task			IRQ		SoftIRQ

 rcu_read_lock()

 /* do stuff */

 <preempt> |= UNLOCK_BLOCKED

 rcu_read_unlock()
   --t->rcu_read_lock_nesting

			irq_enter();
			/* do stuff, don't use RCU */
			irq_exit();
			  sub_preempt_count(IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET);
			  invoke_softirq()

					ttwu();
					  spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock)
					  rcu_read_lock();
					  /* do stuff */
					  rcu_read_unlock();
					    rcu_read_unlock_special()
					      rcu_report_exp_rnp()
					        ttwu()
					          spin_lock_irq(&pi->lock) /* deadlock */

   rcu_read_unlock_special(t);

Ed can simply trigger this 'easy' because invoke_softirq() immediately
does a ttwu() of ksoftirqd/# instead of doing the in-place softirq stuff
first, but even without that the above happens.

Cure this by also excluding softirqs from the
rcu_read_unlock_special() handler and ensuring the force_irqthreads
ksoftirqd/# wakeup is done from full softirq context.

[ Alternatively, delaying the ->rcu_read_lock_nesting decrement
  until after the special handling would make the thing more robust
  in the face of interrupts as well.  And there is a separate patch
  for that. ]

c5d753a55a sched: Add irq_{enter,exit}() to scheduler_ipi()
Ensure scheduler_ipi() calls irq_{enter,exit} when it does some actual
work. Traditionally we never did any actual work from the resched IPI
and all magic happened in the return from interrupt path.

Now that we do do some work, we need to ensure irq_{enter,exit} are
called so that we don't confuse things.

This affects things like timekeeping, NO_HZ and RCU, basically
everything with a hook in irq_enter/exit.

Explicit examples of things going wrong are:

  sched_clock_cpu() -- has a callback when leaving NO_HZ state to take
                    a new reading from GTOD and TSC. Without this
                    callback, time is stuck in the past.

  RCU -- needs in_irq() to work in order to avoid some nasty deadlocks

10f39bb1b2 rcu: protect __rcu_read_unlock() against scheduler-using irq handlers
The addition of RCU read-side critical sections within runqueue and
priority-inheritance lock critical sections introduced some deadlock
cycles, for example, involving interrupts from __rcu_read_unlock()
where the interrupt handlers call wake_up().  This situation can cause
the instance of __rcu_read_unlock() invoked from interrupt to do some
of the processing that would otherwise have been carried out by the
task-level instance of __rcu_read_unlock().  When the interrupt-level
instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is called with a scheduler lock held
from interrupt-entry/exit situations where in_irq() returns false,
deadlock can result.

This commit resolves these deadlocks by using negative values of
the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter to indicate that an
instance of __rcu_read_unlock() is in flight, which in turn prevents
instances from interrupt handlers from doing any special processing.
This patch is inspired by Steven Rostedt's earlier patch that similarly
made __rcu_read_unlock() guard against interrupt-mediated recursion
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/15/326), but this commit refines
Steven's approach to avoid the need for preemption disabling on the
__rcu_read_unlock() fastpath and to also avoid the need for manipulating
a separate per-CPU variable.

This patch avoids need for preempt_disable() by instead using negative
values of the per-task ->rcu_read_lock_nesting counter.  Note that nested
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs are still permitted, but they will
never see ->rcu_read_lock_nesting go to zero, and will therefore never
invoke rcu_read_unlock_special(), thus preventing them from seeing the
RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit should it be set in ->rcu_read_unlock_special.
This patch also adds a check for ->rcu_read_unlock_special being negative
in rcu_check_callbacks(), thus preventing the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_NEED_QS
bit from being set should a scheduling-clock interrupt occur while
__rcu_read_unlock() is exiting from an outermost RCU read-side critical
section.

Of course, __rcu_read_unlock() can be preempted during the time that
->rcu_read_lock_nesting is negative.  This could result in the setting
of the RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED bit after __rcu_read_unlock() checks it,
and would also result it this task being queued on the corresponding
rcu_node structure's blkd_tasks list.  Therefore, some later RCU read-side
critical section would enter rcu_read_unlock_special() to clean up --
which could result in deadlock if that critical section happened to be in
the scheduler where the runqueue or priority-inheritance locks were held.

This situation is dealt with by making rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
check for negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting, thus refraining from
queuing the task (and from setting RCU_READ_UNLOCK_BLOCKED) if we are
already exiting from the outermost RCU read-side critical section (in
other words, we really are no longer actually in that RCU read-side
critical section).  In addition, rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
invokes rcu_read_unlock_special() to carry out the cleanup in this case,
which clears out the ->rcu_read_unlock_special bits and dequeues the task
(if necessary), in turn avoiding needless delay of the current RCU grace
period and needless RCU priority boosting.

It is still illegal to call rcu_read_unlock() while holding a scheduler
lock if the prior RCU read-side critical section has ever had either
preemption or irqs enabled.  However, the common use case is legal,
namely where then entire RCU read-side critical section executes with
irqs disabled, for example, when the scheduler lock is held across the
entire lifetime of the RCU read-side critical section.

d110235d2c sched: Avoid creating superfluous NUMA domains on non-NUMA systems
When creating sched_domains, stop when we've covered the entire
target span instead of continuing to create domains, only to
later find they're redundant and throw them away again.

This avoids single node systems from touching funny NUMA
sched_domain creation code and reduces the risks of the new
SD_OVERLAP code.

e3589f6c81 sched: Allow for overlapping sched_domain spans
Allow for sched_domain spans that overlap by giving such domains their
own sched_group list instead of sharing the sched_groups amongst
each-other.

This is needed for machines with more than 16 nodes, because
sched_domain_node_span() will generate a node mask from the
16 nearest nodes without regard if these masks have any overlap.

Currently sched_domains have a sched_group that maps to their child
sched_domain span, and since there is no overlap we share the
sched_group between the sched_domains of the various CPUs. If however
there is overlap, we would need to link the sched_group list in
different ways for each cpu, and hence sharing isn't possible.

In order to solve this, allocate private sched_groups for each CPU's
sched_domain but have the sched_groups share a sched_group_power
structure such that we can uniquely track the power.

4746efded8 vmscan: fix a livelock in kswapd
I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes.  After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock.  Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.

This looks like a regression since commit 08951e5459 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").

Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx.  The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.

Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true.  Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0.  We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced.  This fixes the livelock.

f7b88631a8 fs/libfs.c: fix simple_attr_write() on 32bit machines
Assume that /sys/kernel/debug/dummy64 is debugfs file created by
debugfs_create_x64().

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug
	# echo 0x1234567812345678 > dummy64
	# cat dummy64
	0x0000000012345678

	# echo 0x80000000 > dummy64
	# cat dummy64
	0xffffffff80000000

A value larger than INT_MAX cannot be written to the debugfs file created
by debugfs_create_u64 or debugfs_create_x64 on 32bit machine.  Because
simple_attr_write() uses simple_strtol() for the conversion.

To fix this, use simple_strtoll() instead.
