Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

We are incorrectly dropping the raid56 and raid1c34 incompat flags when
there are still raid56 and raid1c34 block groups, not when we do not any
of those anymore. The logic just got unintentionally broken after adding
the support for the raid1c34 modes.
Fix this by clear the flags only if we do not have block groups with the
respective profiles.

nvmet-tcp: set MSG_MORE only if we actually have more to send
nvme-rdma: Avoid double freeing of async event data
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.

During a rename whiteout, if btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() returns an error
we can end up returning from btrfs_rename() with the log context object
still in the root's log context list - this happens if 'sync_log' was
set to true before we called btrfs_whiteout_for_rename() and it is
dangerous because we end up with a corrupt linked list (root->log_ctxs)
as the log context object was allocated on the stack.
After btrfs_rename() returns, any task that is running btrfs_sync_log()
concurrently can end up crashing because that linked list is traversed by
btrfs_sync_log() (through btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs()). That results in
the same issue that commit e6c617102c7e4 ("Btrfs: fix log context list
corruption after rename exchange operation") fixed.

This is a PowerPC platform with following NUMA topology:
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus:
node 0 size: 0 MB
node 0 free: 0 MB
node 1 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
node 1 size: 35247 MB
node 1 free: 30907 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 40
1: 40 10
possible numa nodes: 0-31
This only happens with a mmotm patch "mm/memcontrol.c: allocate
shrinker_map on appropriate NUMA node" [2] which effectively calls
kmalloc_node for each possible node. SLUB however only allocates
kmem_cache_node on online N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodes, and relies on
node_to_mem_node to return such valid node for other nodes since commit
a561ce00b09e ("slub: fall back to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating
on memoryless node"). This is however not true in this configuration
where the _node_numa_mem_ array is not initialized for nodes 0 and 2-31,
thus it contains zeroes and get_partial() ends up accessing
non-allocated kmem_cache_node.
A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3]
where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without
patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k
kmalloc-512. This seems to have the same underlying issue with
node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also
lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4].
This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node()
anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when
kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no
usable memory. The "usable memory" condition is also changed from
node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly
the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures.
The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in
___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being
reached with an invalid node.

btrfs_lookup_and_bind_dio_csum() does pointer arithmetic which assumes
32-bit checksums. If using a larger checksum, this leads to spurious
failures when a direct I/O read crosses a stripe. This is easy
to reproduce:
# mkfs.btrfs -f --checksum blake2 -d raid0 /dev/vdc /dev/vdd
...
# mount /dev/vdc /mnt
# cd /mnt
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=foo bs=1M count=1 status=none
# dd if=foo of=/dev/null bs=1M iflag=direct status=none
dd: error reading 'foo': Input/output error
# dmesg | tail -1

Commit b72053072c0b ("block: allow partitions on host aware zone
devices") introduced the helper function disk_has_partitions() to check
if a given disk has valid partitions. However, since this function result
directly depends on the disk partition table length rather than the
actual existence of valid partitions in the table, it returns true even
after all partitions are removed from the disk. For host aware zoned
block devices, this results in zone management support to be kept
disabled even after removing all partitions.
Fix this by changing disk_has_partitions() to walk through the partition
table entries and return true if and only if a valid non-zero size
partition is found.
