commit 94e297c50b529f5d01cfd1dbc808d61e95180ab7 upstream.

ctags indexing ("make tags" command) throws this warning:

    ctags: Warning: include/linux/notifier.h:125:
    null expansion of name pattern "\1"

This is the result of DEFINE_PER_CPU() macro expansion.  Fix that by
getting rid of line break.

Similar fix was already done in commit 25528213fe9f ("tags: Fix
DEFINE_PER_CPU expansions"), but this one probably wasn't noticed.

commit 18127429a854e7607b859484880b8e26cee9ddab upstream.

Unprotected naming of local variables within the set_mask_bits() can easily
lead to using the wrong scope.

Noticed this when "set_mask_bits(&amp;foo-&gt;bar, 0, mask)" behaved as no-op.

commit dce05aa6eec977f1472abed95ccd71276b9a3864 upstream.

Avoid global variables (namely sel_cons) by introducing vc_is_sel. It
checks whether the parameter is the current selection console. This will
help putting sel_cons to a struct later.

<title>ceph: check POOL_FLAG_FULL/NEARFULL in addition to OSDMAP_FULL/NEARFULL</title>

commit 7614209736fbc4927584d4387faade4f31444fce upstream.

CEPH_OSDMAP_FULL/NEARFULL aren't set since mimic, so we need to consult
per-pool flags as well.  Unfortunately the backwards compatibility here
is lacking:

- the change that deprecated OSDMAP_FULL/NEARFULL went into mimic, but
  was guarded by require_osd_release &gt;= RELEASE_LUMINOUS
- it was subsequently backported to luminous in v12.2.2, but that makes
  no difference to clients that only check OSDMAP_FULL/NEARFULL because
  require_osd_release is not client-facing -- it is for OSDs

Since all kernels are affected, the best we can do here is just start
checking both map flags and pool flags and send that to stable.

These checks are best effort, so take osdc-&gt;lock and look up pool flags
just once.  Remove the FIXME, since filesystem quotas are checked above
and RADOS quotas are reflected in POOL_FLAG_FULL: when the pool reaches
its quota, both POOL_FLAG_FULL and POOL_FLAG_FULL_QUOTA are set.

[ Upstream commit 1292e3efb149ee21d8d33d725eeed4e6b1ade963 ]

It has turned out that some host controllers can't use R1B for CMD6 and
other commands that have R1B associated with them. Therefore invent a new
host cap, MMC_CAP_NEED_RSP_BUSY to let them specify this.

In __mmc_switch(), let's check the flag and use it to prevent R1B responses
from being converted into R1. Note that, this also means that the host are
on its own, when it comes to manage the busy timeout.

commit 8019ad13ef7f64be44d4f892af9c840179009254 upstream.

As reported by Jann, ihold() does not in fact guarantee inode
persistence. And instead of making it so, replace the usage of inode
pointers with a per boot, machine wide, unique inode identifier.

This sequence number is global, but shared (file backed) futexes are
rare enough that this should not become a performance issue.

commit 763802b53a427ed3cbd419dbba255c414fdd9e7c upstream.

Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path.  While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.

Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap().  But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.

To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:

	* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
	* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()

Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized.  The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.

Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

commit d72520ad004a8ce18a6ba6cde317f0081b27365a upstream.

Commit bd4c82c22c36 ("mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped
out") supported writing THP to a swap device but forgot to upgrade an
older commit df8c94d13c7e ("page-flags: define behavior of FS/IO-related
flags on compound pages") which could trigger a crash during THP
swapping out with DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS=y,

  kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:317!

<title>driver core: Remove device link creation limitation</title>

commit 515db266a9dace92b0cbaed9a6044dd5304b8ca9 upstream.

If device_link_add() is called for a consumer/supplier pair with an
existing device link between them and the existing link's type is
not in agreement with the flags passed to that function by its
caller, NULL will be returned.  That is seriously inconvenient,
because it forces the callers of device_link_add() to worry about
what others may or may not do even if that is not relevant to them
for any other reasons.

It turns out, however, that this limitation can be made go away
relatively easily.

The underlying observation is that if DL_FLAG_STATELESS has been
passed to device_link_add() in flags for the given consumer/supplier
pair at least once, calling either device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to release the link returned by it should work,
but there are no other requirements associated with that flag.  In
turn, if at least one of the callers of device_link_add() for the
given consumer/supplier pair has not passed DL_FLAG_STATELESS to it
in flags, the driver core should track the status of the link and act
on it as appropriate (ie. the link should be treated as "managed").
This means that DL_FLAG_STATELESS needs to be set for managed device
links and it should be valid to call device_link_del() or
device_link_remove() to drop references to them in certain
sutiations.

To allow that to happen, introduce a new (internal) device link flag
called DL_FLAG_MANAGED and make device_link_add() set it automatically
whenever DL_FLAG_STATELESS is not passed to it.  Also make it take
additional references to existing device links that were previously
stateless (that is, with DL_FLAG_STATELESS set and DL_FLAG_MANAGED
unset) and will need to be managed going forward and initialize
their status (which has been DL_STATE_NONE so far).

Accordingly, when a managed device link is dropped automatically
by the driver core, make it clear DL_FLAG_MANAGED, reset the link's
status back to DL_STATE_NONE and drop the reference to it associated
with DL_FLAG_MANAGED instead of just deleting it right away (to
allow it to stay around in case it still needs to be released
explicitly by someone).

With that, since setting DL_FLAG_STATELESS doesn't mean that the
device link in question is not managed any more, replace all of the
status-tracking checks against DL_FLAG_STATELESS with analogous
checks against DL_FLAG_MANAGED and update the documentation to
reflect these changes.

While at it, make device_link_add() reject flags that it does not
recognize, including DL_FLAG_MANAGED.
