Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
"Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
request.
zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.
Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
commit:
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
`silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
commands for the benchmark:
sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test
The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
The MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)
which includes the time to copy from userland.
The Adjusted MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).
The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
requests.

I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same
machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo
under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The
memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress
data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the
maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of
decompression irrespective of the compression level.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

IDR only supports non-negative IDs. There used to be a 'WARN_ON_ONCE(id <
0)' in idr_replace(), but it was intentionally removed by commit
2e1c9b2867 ("idr: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs").
Then it was added back by commit 0a835c4f09 ("Reimplement IDR and IDA
using the radix tree"). However it seems that adding it back was a
mistake, given that some users such as drm_gem_handle_delete()
(DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE) pass in a value from userspace to idr_replace(),
allowing the WARN_ON_ONCE to be triggered. drm_gem_handle_delete()
actually just wants idr_replace() to return an error code if the ID is
not allocated, including in the case where the ID is invalid (negative).
So once again remove the bogus WARN_ON_ONCE().

Pull libnvdimm from Dan Williams:
"A rework of media error handling in the BTT driver and other updates.
It has appeared in a few -next releases and collected some late-
breaking build-error and warning fixups as a result.
Summary:
- Media error handling support in the Block Translation Table (BTT)
driver is reworked to address sleeping-while-atomic locking and
memory-allocation-context conflicts.
- The dax_device lookup overhead for xfs and ext4 is moved out of the
iomap hot-path to a mount-time lookup.
- A new 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute is added to advertise the
read-modify-write boundary property of a persistent memory range.
- Preparatory fix-ups for arm and powerpc pmem support are included
along with other miscellaneous fixes"

if (n != -1)

find_next_bit() is regular out-of-line function which means "nr_cpu_ids"

Some archs redefine find_next_bit() but it is OK:

Current implementation of bitmap_parselist() uses a static variable to
save local state while setting bits in the bitmap. It is obviously wrong
if we assume execution in multiprocessor environment. Fortunately, it's
possible to rewrite this portion of code to avoid using the static
variable.
It is also possible to set bits in the mask per-range with bitmap_set(),
not per-bit, as it is implemented now, with set_bit(); which is way
faster.
The important side effect of this change is that setting bits in this
function from now is not per-bit atomic and less memory-ordered. This is
because set_bit() guarantees the order of memory accesses, while
bitmap_set() does not. I think that it is the advantage of the new
approach, because the bitmap_parselist() is intended to initialise bit
arrays, and user should protect the whole bitmap during initialisation if
needed. So protecting individual bits looks expensive and useless. Also,
other range-oriented functions in lib/bitmap.c don't worry much about
atomicity.
With all that, setting 2k bits in map with the pattern like 0-2047:128/256
becomes ~50 times faster after applying the patch in my testing
environment (arm64 hosted on qemu).
The second patch of the series adds the test for bitmap_parselist(). It's
not intended to cover all tricky cases, just to make sure that I didn't
screw up during rework.

The only times the nil-parent (root node) condition is true is when the
node is the first in the tree, or after fixing rbtree rule #4 and the
case 1 rebalancing made the node the root. Such conditions do not apply
most of the time:
(i) The common case in an rbtree is to have more than a single node,
so this is only true for the first rb_insert().
(ii) While there is a chance only one first rotation is needed, cases
where the node's uncle is black (cases 2,3) are more common as we can
have the following scenarios during the rotation looping:
case1 only, case1+1, case2+3, case1+2+3, case3 only, etc.
This patch, therefore, adds an unlikely() optimization to this
conditional. When profiling with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES, a
kernel build shows that the incorrect rate is less than 15%, and for
workloads that involve insert mostly trees overtime tend to have less
than 2% incorrect rate.

Patch series "rbtree: Cache leftmost node internally", v4.
A series to extending rbtrees to internally cache the leftmost node such
that we can have fast overlap check optimization for all interval tree
users[1]. The benefits of this series are that:
(i) Unify users that do internal leftmost node caching.
(ii) Optimize all interval tree users.
(iii) Convert at least two new users (epoll and procfs) to the new interface.
This patch (of 16):
Red-black tree semantics imply that nodes with smaller or greater (or
equal for duplicates) keys always be to the left and right,
respectively. For the kernel this is extremely evident when considering
our rb_first() semantics. Enabling lookups for the smallest node in the
tree in O(1) can save a good chunk of cycles in not having to walk down
the tree each time. To this end there are a few core users that
explicitly do this, such as the scheduler and rtmutexes. There is also
the desire for interval trees to have this optimization allowing faster
overlap checking.
This patch introduces a new 'struct rb_root_cached' which is just the
root with a cached pointer to the leftmost node. The reason why the
regular rb_root was not extended instead of adding a new structure was
that this allows the user to have the choice between memory footprint
and actual tree performance. The new wrappers on top of the regular
rb_root calls are:
- rb_first_cached(cached_root) -- which is a fast replacement
for rb_first.
- rb_insert_color_cached(node, cached_root, new)
- rb_erase_cached(node, cached_root)
In addition, augmented cached interfaces are also added for basic
insertion and deletion operations; which becomes important for the
interval tree changes.
With the exception of the inserts, which adds a bool for updating the
new leftmost, the interfaces are kept the same. To this end, porting rb
users to the cached version becomes really trivial, and keeping current
rbtree semantics for users that don't care about the optimization
requires zero overhead.
