c09c47caed blktrace: add FLUSH/FUA support
Add FLUSH/FUA support to blktrace. As FLUSH precedes WRITE and/or
FUA follows WRITE, use the same 'F' flag for both cases and
distinguish them by their (relative) position. The end results
look like (other flags might be shown also):

 - WRITE:            W
 - WRITE_FLUSH:      FW
 - WRITE_FUA:        WF
 - WRITE_FLUSH_FUA:  FWF

Note that we reuse TC_BARRIER due to lack of bit space of act_mask
so that the older versions of blktrace tools will report flush
requests as barriers from now on.

d46db3d582 writeback: make writeback_control.nr_to_write straight
Pass struct wb_writeback_work all the way down to writeback_sb_inodes(),
and initialize the struct writeback_control there.

struct writeback_control is basically designed to control writeback of a
single file, but we keep abuse it for writing multiple files in
writeback_sb_inodes() and its callers.

It immediately clean things up, e.g. suddenly wbc.nr_to_write vs
work->nr_pages starts to make sense, and instead of saving and restoring
pages_skipped in writeback_sb_inodes it can always start with a clean
zero value.

It also makes a neat IO pattern change: large dirty files are now
written in the full 4MB writeback chunk size, rather than whatever
remained quota in wbc->nr_to_write.

This commit adds fixed tracepoint for jbd. It has been based on fixed
tracepoints for jbd2, however there are missing those for collecting

there are new tracepoints in __journal_drop_transaction() and
journal_update_superblock().

3847ce32ae core: add tracepoints for queueing skb to rcvbuf
This patch adds 2 tracepoints to get a status of a socket receive queue
and related parameter.

One tracepoint is added to sock_queue_rcv_skb. It records rcvbuf size
and its usage. The other tracepoint is added to __sk_mem_schedule and
it records limitations of memory for sockets and current usage.

By using these tracepoints we're able to know detailed reason why kernel
drop the packet.

return value of ip_queue_rcv_skb. It indicates why kernel drops
a packet at this point.

ip_queue_rcv_skb returns following values in the packet drop case:

rcvbuf is full                 : -ENOMEM
sk_filter returns error        : -EINVAL, -EACCESS, -ENOMEM, etc.
__sk_mem_schedule returns error: -ENOBUF

d7911ef30c vmscan: implement swap token priority aging
While testing for memcg aware swap token, I observed a swap token was
often grabbed an intermittent running process (eg init, auditd) and they
never release a token.

Why?

Some processes (eg init, auditd, audispd) wake up when a process exiting.
And swap token can be get first page-in process when a process exiting
makes no swap token owner.  Thus such above intermittent running process
often get a token.

And currently, swap token priority is only decreased at page fault path.
Then, if the process sleep immediately after to grab swap token, the swap
token priority never be decreased.  That's obviously undesirable.

This patch implement very poor (and lightweight) priority aging.  It only
be affect to the above corner case and doesn't change swap tendency
workload performance (eg multi process qsbench load)

09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

e84d0a4f8e writeback: trace event writeback_queue_io
Note that it adds a little overheads to account the moved/enqueued
inodes from b_dirty to b_io. The "moved" accounting may be later used to
limit the number of inodes that can be moved in one shot, in order to
keep spinlock hold time under control.

251d6a471c writeback: trace event writeback_single_inode
It is valuable to know how the dirty inodes are iterated and their IO size.

"writeback_single_inode: bdi 8:0: ino=134246746 state=I_DIRTY_SYNC|I_SYNC age=414 index=0 to_write=1024 wrote=0"

- "state" reflects inode->i_state at the end of writeback_single_inode()
- "index" reflects mapping->writeback_index after the ->writepages() call
- "to_write" is the wbc->nr_to_write at entrance of writeback_single_inode()
- "wrote" is the number of pages actually written

v2: add trace event writeback_single_inode_requeue as proposed by Dave.

Remove two unused struct writeback_control fields:

	.encountered_congestion	(completely unused)
	.nonblocking		(never set, checked/showed in XFS,NFS/btrfs)

The .for_background check in nfs_write_inode() is also removed btw,
as .for_background implies WB_SYNC_NONE.

a9c667f8f0 ext4: fixed tracepoints cleanup
While creating fixed tracepoints for ext3, basically by porting them
from ext4, I found a lot of useless retyping, wrong type usage, useless
variable passing and other inconsistencies in the ext4 fixed tracepoint
code.

This patch cleans the fixed tracepoint code for ext4 and also simplify
some of them.

ec764bf083 net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)
