Don't do a kmalloc from timer to handle timeouts, chances are we could be
under heavy load or similar and thus just miss out on the timeouts.
Fortunately it is very easy to just iterate over all in use tags, and doing
this properly actually cleans up the blk_mq_busy_iter API as well, and
prepares us for the next patch by passing a reserved argument to the
iterator.

When we call blk_mq_start_request from the core blk-mq code before calling into
->queue_rq there is a racy window where the timeout handler can hit before we've
fully set up the driver specific part of the command.
Move the call to blk_mq_start_request into the driver so the driver can start
the request only once it is fully set up.

Pass an explicit parameter for the last request in a batch to ->queue_rq
instead of using a request flag. Besides being a cleaner and non-stateful
interface this is also required for the next patch, which fixes the blk-mq

We should not insert requests into the flush state machine from
blk_mq_insert_request. All incoming flush requests come through
blk_{m,s}q_make_request and are handled there, while blk_execute_rq_nowait
should only be called for BLOCK_PC requests. All other callers
deal with requests that already went through the flush statemchine
and shouldn't be reinserted into it.

This patch should fix the bug reported in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249.
We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when
allocating storage for the requests.
Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized
pointers when racing with the creation of a request.
Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point
where a request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush
request indicators that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers
in blk_mq_timeout_check().

When we start the request, we set the deadline and flip the bits
marking the request as started and non-complete. However, it's
important that the deadline store is ordered before flipping the
bits, otherwise we could have a small window where the request is
marked started but with an invalid deadline. This can confuse the
timeout handling.

Commit d6bb3e9075bb ("vfs: simplify and shrink stack frame of
link_path_walk()") introduced build problems with GCC versions older
than 4.6 due to the initialisation of a member of an anonymous union in
struct qstr without enclosing braces.
This hits GCC bug 10676 [1] (which was fixed in GCC 4.6 by [2]), and
causes the following build error:
fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk':
fs/namei.c:1778: error: unknown field 'hash_len' specified in initializer
This is worked around by adding explicit braces.

Commit 9226b5b440f2 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small
store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the
"hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size
accesses to the members.
However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the
whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant. We already
explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64
hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the
"struct qstr".
We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a
"d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then
just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point.
End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and
better code generation. And we don't need to pass in pointers variables
to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the
relevant information. So this removes more lines than it adds, and the
source code is clearer too.

The RCU pathwalk fixes end up fixing a couple of cases where we

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname
lookup (see commit 99d263d4c5b2 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made
me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that
the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in
this area.
There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow
serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come
in with the next VFS pull.
But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns
out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of
the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len
field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing
an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine.
It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()"
function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole
'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value.
With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother.

Josef Bacik found a performance regression between 3.2 and 3.10 and
narrowed it down to commit bfcfaa77bdf0 ("vfs: use 'unsigned long'
accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing"). He reports:
"The test case is essentially
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
mkdir("a$i");
On xfs on a fio card this goes at about 20k dir/sec with 3.2, and 12k
dir/sec with 3.10. This is because we spend waaaaay more time in
__d_lookup on 3.10 than in 3.2.
The new hashing function for strings is suboptimal for <
sizeof(unsigned long) string names (and hell even > sizeof(unsigned
long) string names that I've tested). I broke out the old hashing
function and the new one into a userspace helper to get real numbers
and this is what I'm getting:
Old hash table had 1000000 entries, 0 dupes, 0 max dupes
New hash table had 12628 entries, 987372 dupes, 900 max dupes
We had 11400 buckets with a p50 of 30 dupes, p90 of 240 dupes, p99 of 567 dupes for the new hash
My test does the hash, and then does the d_hash into a integer pointer
array the same size as the dentry hash table on my system, and then
just increments the value at the address we got to see how many
entries we overlap with.
As you can see the old hash function ended up with all 1 million
entries in their own bucket, whereas the new one they are only
distributed among ~12.5k buckets, which is why we're using so much
more CPU in __d_lookup".
The reason for this hash regression is two-fold:
- On 64-bit architectures the down-mixing of the original 64-bit
word-at-a-time hash into the final 32-bit hash value is very
simplistic and suboptimal, and just adds the two 32-bit parts
together.
In particular, because there is no bit shuffling and the mixing
boundary is also a byte boundary, similar character patterns in the
low and high word easily end up just canceling each other out.
- the old byte-at-a-time hash mixed each byte into the final hash as it
hashed the path component name, resulting in the low bits of the hash
generally being a good source of hash data. That is not true for the
word-at-a-time case, and the hash data is distributed among all the
bits.
The fix is the same in both cases: do a better job of mixing the bits up
and using as much of the hash data as possible. We already have the
"hash_32|64()" functions to do that.

The hash_64() function historically does the multiply by the
GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_64 number with explicit shifts and adds, because
unlike the 32-bit case, gcc seems unable to turn the constant multiply
into the more appropriate shift and adds when required.
However, that means that we generate those shifts and adds even when the
architecture has a fast multiplier, and could just do it better in
hardware.
Use the now-cleaned-up CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER (together with
"is it a 64-bit architecture") to decide whether to use an integer
multiply or the explicit sequence of shift/add instructions.

It used to be an ad-hoc hack defined by the x86 version of
<asm/bitops.h> that enabled a couple of library routines to know whether
an integer multiply is faster than repeated shifts and additions.
This just makes it use the real Kconfig system instead, and makes x86
(which was the only architecture that did this) select the option.
NOTE! Even for x86, this really is kind of wrong. If we cared, we would
probably not enable this for builds optimized for netburst (P4), where
shifts-and-adds are generally faster than multiplies. This patch does
*not* change that kind of logic, though, it is purely a syntactic change
with no code changes.
This was triggered by the fact that we have other places that really
want to know "do I want to expand multiples by constants by hand or
not", particularly the hash generation code.

Locks the k_itimer's it_lock member when handling the alarm timer's
expiry callback.
The regular posix timers defined in posix-timers.c have this lock held
during timout processing because their callbacks are routed through

Avoids sending a signal to alarm timers created with sigev_notify set to
SIGEV_NONE by checking for that special case in the timeout callback.
The regular posix timers avoid sending signals to SIGEV_NONE timers by
not scheduling any callbacks for them in the first place. Although it
would be possible to do something similar for alarm timers, it's simpler
to handle this as a special case in the timeout.
Prior to this patch, the alarm timer would ignore the sigev_notify value
and try to deliver signals to the process anyway. Even worse, the
sanity check for the value of sigev_signo is skipped when SIGEV_NONE was
specified, so the signal number could be bogus. If sigev_signo was an
unitialized value (as it often would be if SIGEV_NONE is used), then
it's hard to predict which signal will be sent.

Returns the time remaining for an alarm timer, rather than the time at
which it is scheduled to expire. If the timer has already expired or it
is not currently scheduled, the it_value's members are set to zero.
This new behavior matches that of the other posix-timers and the POSIX
specifications.
This is a change in user-visible behavior, and may break existing

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &val);
would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.) Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val. So fix the math.
Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)
jiffies = usec * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)
by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:
jiffies = (usec * x) >> USEC_JIFFIE_SC
and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)
In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.
We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec->nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies. This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.
Tested: the following program:
int main() {
struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
/* Initially set to 10 ms. */
struct itimerval initial = zero;
initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &initial, NULL);
/* Save and restore several times. */
for (size_t i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
struct itimerval prev;
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &zero, &prev);
/* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &prev, NULL);
}
return 0;
}

futex_wait_requeue_pi() calls futex_wait_setup(). If
futex_wait_setup() succeeds it returns with hb->lock held and
preemption disabled. Now the sanity check after this does:
if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) {
ret = -EINVAL;
goto out_put_keys;
}
which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock.
So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor
preemption disabled.
Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

Callers of d_splice_alias(dentry, inode) don't need iput(), neither
on success nor on failure. Either the reference to inode is stored
in a previously negative dentry, or it's dropped. In either case
inode reference the caller used to hold is consumed.
__gfs2_lookup() does iput() in case when d_splice_alias() has failed.
Double iput() if we ever hit that. And gfs2_create_inode() ends up
not only with double iput(), but with link count dropped to zero - on
an inode it has just found in directory.
