Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:
- Add Partial Parity Log (ppl) feature found in Intel IMSM raid array
by Artur Paszkiewicz. This feature is another way to close RAID5
writehole. The Linux implementation is also available for normal
RAID5 array if specific superblock bit is set.
- A number of md-cluser fixes and enabling md-cluster array resize from
Guoqing Jiang
- A bunch of patches from Ming Lei and Neil Brown to rewrite MD bio
handling related code. Now MD doesn't directly access bio bvec,
bi_phys_segments and uses modern bio API for bio split.
- Improve RAID5 IO pattern to improve performance for hard disk based
RAID5/6 from me.
- Several patches from Song Liu to speed up raid5-cache recovery and
allow raid5 cache feature disabling in runtime.
- Fix a performance regression in raid1 resync from Xiao Ni.
- Other cleanup and fixes from various people.

Pull HID subsystem updates from Jiri Kosina:
- The need for HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS per-device quirk has been
growing dramatically during past years, so the time has come to
switch over the default, and perform the pro-active reading only in

Pull AVR32 removal from Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt:
"This will remove support for AVR32 architecture from the kernel and
clean away the most obvious architecture related parts. Removing dead
code in drivers is the next step"
Notes from previous discussion about this:
"The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.
Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).
Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1.
When building kernel v4.10, this toolchain is no longer able to
properly link the network stack.
Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32
on life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives
joy to AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left
today, if anybody at all"

was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.

Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree. A large bunch of code cleanups, simplify the conntrack extension
codebase, get rid of the fake conntrack object, speed up netns by
selective synchronize_net() calls. More specifically, they are:
1) Check for ct->status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and
Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal.
2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao.
3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal.
4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function.
5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper,
from Gao Feng.
6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng.
7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng.
8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with
helpers, from Gao Feng.
9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the
netlink message type.
10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal.
11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible,
also from simran singhal.
12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal.
13) Remove unnecessary & on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS
code.
14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables,
no longer true. From Arushi Singhal.
15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng.
16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in
__nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already
guaranteed to run under RCU read side.
17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole.
18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(),
also from Aaron.
19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole.
20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in
__nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng.
21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks,
from Gao Feng.
22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to
annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal.
23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no
conntrack template anymore, from Florian.
24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian.
25) Move nf_conn_help structure to
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h.
26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers.
Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore.
Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size.
Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code
got no more clients. From Florian Westphal.
27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now
that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian.
28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack,
this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian.
29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian.
30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker,
from Gao Feng.
31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal.
32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook
registration, from Florian Westphal.
33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some
infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal.
34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the
SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch
from Gao Feng.
35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we
don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of
expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian.
36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(),
from Florian.
37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from
Florian.
38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper
path, from Florian.
39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole.
40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from
Florian Westphal.
41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper,
from Florian.
42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no
extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case. Patch from
Liping Zhang.

Support for l2 multicast flood control was added in commit b6cb5ac833
("net: bridge: add per-port multicast flood flag"). It allows broadcast
as it was introduced specifically for unknown multicast flood control.
But as broadcast is a special case of multicast, this may also need to
be disabled. For this purpose, introduce a flag to disable the flooding
of received l2 broadcasts. This approach is backwards compatible and
provides flexibility in filtering for the desired packet types.

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
- fix orangefs handling of faults on write() - I'd missed that one back
when orangefs was going through review.
- readdir counterpart of "9p: cope with bogus responses from server in
p9_client_{read,write}" - server might be lying or broken, and we'd
better not overrun the kmalloc'ed buffer we are copying the results
into.
- NFS O_DIRECT read/write can leave iov_iter advanced by too much;
that's what had been causing iov_iter_pipe() warnings davej had been
seeing.
- statx_timestamp.tv_nsec type fix (s32 -> u32). That one really should
go in before 4.11.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
uapi: change the type of struct statx_timestamp.tv_nsec to unsigned
fix nfs O_DIRECT advancing iov_iter too much
p9_client_readdir() fix
orangefs_bufmap_copy_from_iovec(): fix EFAULT handling
The comment asserting that the value of struct statx_timestamp.tv_nsec
must be negative when statx_timestamp.tv_sec is negative, is wrong, as
could be seen from the following example:
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
#include <assert.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <asm/unistd.h>
#include <linux/stat.h>
int main(void)
{
static const struct timespec ts[2] = {
{ .tv_nsec = UTIME_OMIT },
{ .tv_sec = -2, .tv_nsec = 42 }
};
assert(utimensat(AT_FDCWD, ".", ts, 0) == 0);
struct stat st;
assert(stat(".", &st) == 0);
printf("st_mtim.tv_sec = %lld, st_mtim.tv_nsec = %lu\n",
(long long) st.st_mtim.tv_sec,
(unsigned long) st.st_mtim.tv_nsec);
struct statx stx;
assert(syscall(__NR_statx, AT_FDCWD, ".", 0, 0, &stx) == 0);
printf("stx_mtime.tv_sec = %lld, stx_mtime.tv_nsec = %lu\n",
(long long) stx.stx_mtime.tv_sec,
(unsigned long) stx.stx_mtime.tv_nsec);
return 0;
}
It expectedly prints:
st_mtim.tv_sec = -2, st_mtim.tv_nsec = 42
stx_mtime.tv_sec = -2, stx_mtime.tv_nsec = 42
The more generic comment asserting that the value of struct
statx_timestamp.tv_nsec might be negative is confusing to say the least.
It contradicts both the struct stat.st_[acm]time_nsec tradition and
struct timespec.tv_nsec requirements in utimensat syscall.
If statx syscall ever returns a stx_[acm]time containing a negative
tv_nsec that cannot be passed unmodified to utimensat syscall,
it will cause an immense confusion.
Fix this source of confusion by changing the type of struct
statx_timestamp.tv_nsec from __s32 to __u32.

This patch implements the idea to have multiple scheduled scan requests
running concurrently. It mainly illustrates how to deal with the incoming
request from user-space in terms of backward compatibility. In order to
use multiple scheduled scans user-space needs to provide a flag attribute
NL80211_ATTR_SCHED_SCAN_MULTI to indicate support. If not the request is
treated as a legacy scan.
Drivers currently supporting scheduled scan are now indicating they support
a single scheduled scan request. This obsoletes WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN.

[clean up netlink destroy path to avoid allocations, code cleanups]
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
This provides a generic SKB based non-optimized XDP path which is used
if either the driver lacks a specific XDP implementation, or the user
requests it via a new IFLA_XDP_FLAGS value named XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE.
It is arguable that perhaps I should have required something like
this as part of the initial XDP feature merge.
I believe this is critical for two reasons:
1) Accessibility. More people can play with XDP with less
dependencies. Yes I know we have XDP support in virtio_net, but
that just creates another depedency for learning how to use this
facility.
I wrote this to make life easier for the XDP newbies.
2) As a model for what the expected semantics are. If there is a pure
generic core implementation, it serves as a semantic example for
driver folks adding XDP support.
One thing I have not tried to address here is the issue of
XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM, thanks to Daniel for spotting that. It seems
incredibly expensive to do a skb_cow(skb, XDP_PACKET_HEADROOM) or
whatever even if the XDP program doesn't try to push headers at all.
I think we really need the verifier to somehow propagate whether
certain XDP helpers are used or not.
v5:
- Handle both negative and positive offset after running prog
- Fix mac length in XDP_TX case (Alexei)
- Use rcu_dereference_protected() in free_netdev (kbuild test robot)
v4:
- Fix MAC header adjustmnet before calling prog (David Ahern)
- Disable LRO when generic XDP is installed (Michael Chan)
- Bypass qdisc et al. on XDP_TX and record the event (Alexei)
- Do not perform generic XDP on reinjected packets (DaveM)
v3:
- Make sure XDP program sees packet at MAC header, push back MAC
header if we do XDP_TX. (Alexei)
- Elide GRO when generic XDP is in use. (Alexei)
- Add XDP_FLAG_SKB_MODE flag which the user can use to request generic
XDP even if the driver has an XDP implementation. (Alexei)
- Report whether SKB mode is in use in rtnl_xdp_fill() via XDP_FLAGS
attribute. (Daniel)
v2:
- Add some "fall through" comments in switch statements based
upon feedback from Andrew Lunn
- Use RCU for generic xdp_prog, thanks to Johannes Berg.
