"This development cycle resulted in a fair amount of changes in both
core and driver sides. The most significant change in ALSA core is
about PCM. Also the support of of-graph card and the new DAPM widget
for DSP are noteworthy changes in ASoC core. And there're lots of
small changes splat over the tree, as you can see in diffstat.
Below are a few highlights:
ALSA core:
- Removal of set_fs() hackery from PCM core stuff, and the code
reorganization / optimization thereafter
- Improved support of PCM ack ops, and a new ABI for improved
control/status mmap handling
- Lots of constifications in various codes
ASoC core:
- The support of of-graph card, which may work as a better generic
device for a replacement of simple-card
- New widget types intended mainly for use with DSPs
ASoC drivers:
- New drivers for Allwinner V3s SoCs
- Ensonic ES8316 codec support
- More Intel SKL and KBL works
- More device support for Intel SST Atom (mostly for cheap tablets
and 2-in-1 devices)
- Support for Rockchip PDM controllers
- Support for STM32 I2S and S/PDIF controllers
- Support for ZTE AUD96P22 codecs

The BIO issuing loop in __blkdev_issue_zeroout() is allocating BIOs
with a maximum number of bvec (pages) equal to
min(nr_sects, (sector_t)BIO_MAX_PAGES)
This works since the requested number of bvecs will always be limited
to the absolute maximum number supported (BIO_MAX_PAGES), but this is
ineficient as too many bvec entries may be requested due to the
different units being used in the min() operation (number of sectors vs
number of pages).
To fix this, introduce the helper __blkdev_sectors_to_bio_pages() to
correctly calculate the number of bvecs for zeroout BIOs as the issuing
loop progresses. The calculation is done using consistent units and
makes sure that the number of pages return is at least 1 (for cases
where the number of sectors is less that the number of sectors in
a page).
Also remove a trailing space after the bit shift in the internal loop
min() call.

IDT 89HPESxNTx device series is PCIe-switches, which support
Non-Transparent bridging between domains connected to the device ports.
Since new NTB API exposes multi-port interface and messaging API, the
IDT NT-functions can be now supported in the kernel. This driver adds
the following functionality:
1) Multi-port NTB API to have information of possible NT-functions
activated in compliance with available device ports.
2) Memory windows of direct and look up table based address translation
with all possible combinations of BARs setup.
3) Traditional doorbell NTB API.
4) One-on-one messaging NTB API.
There are some IDT PCIe-switch setups, which must be done before any of
the NTB peers started. It can be performed either by system BIOS via
IDT SMBus-slave interface or by pre-initialized IDT PCIe-switch EEPROM:
1) NT-functions of corresponding ports must be activated using
SWPARTxCTL and SWPORTxCTL registers.
2) BAR0 must be configured to expose NT-function configuration
registers map.
3) The rest of the BARs must have at least one memory window
configured, otherwise the driver will just return an error.
Temperature sensor of IDT PCIe-switches can be also optionally
activated by BIOS or EEPROM.
(See IDT documentations for details of how the pre-initialization can
be done)

Some IDT NTB-capable PCIe-switches have message registers to communicate with
peer devices. This patch adds new NTB API callback methods, which can be used
to utilize these registers functionality:
ntb_msg_count(); - get number of message registers
ntb_msg_inbits(); - get bitfield of inbound message registers status
ntb_msg_outbits(); - get bitfield of outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_read_sts(); - read the inbound and outbound message registers status
ntb_msg_clear_sts(); - clear status bits of message registers
ntb_msg_set_mask(); - mask interrupts raised by status bits of message
registers.
ntb_msg_clear_mask(); - clear interrupts mask bits of message registers
ntb_msg_read(midx, *pidx); - read message register with specified index,
additionally getting peer port index which data received from
ntb_msg_write(midx, pidx); - write data to the specified message register
sending it to the passed peer device connected over a pidx port
ntb_msg_event(); - notify driver context of a new message event
Of course there is hardware which doesn't support Message registers, so
this API is made optional.

Even though there is no any real NTB hardware, which would have both more
than two ports and Scratchpad registers, it is logically correct to have
Scratchpad API accepting a peer port index as well. Intel/AMD drivers utilize
Primary and Secondary topology to split Scratchpad between connected root
devices. Since port-index API introduced, Intel/AMD NTB hardware drivers can
use device port to determine which Scratchpad registers actually belong to
local and peer devices. The same approach can be used if some potential
hardware in future will be multi-port and have some set of Scratchpads.
Here are the brief of changes in the API:
ntb_spad_count() - return number of Scratchpads per each port
ntb_peer_spad_addr(pidx, sidx) - address of Scratchpad register of the
peer device with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_read(pidx, sidx) - read specified Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
ntb_peer_spad_write(pidx, sidx) - write data to Scratchpad register of the
peer with pidx-index
Since there is hardware which doesn't support Scratchpad registers, the
corresponding API methods are now made optional.

Multi-port NTB devices permit to share a memory between all accessible peers.
Memory Windows API is altered to correspondingly initialize and map memory
windows for such devices:
ntb_mw_count(pidx); - number of inbound memory windows, which can be allocated

ntb_mw_get_align(pidx, widx); - get alignment and size restriction parameters
to properly allocate inbound memory region.
ntb_peer_mw_count(); - get number of outbound memory windows.
ntb_peer_mw_get_addr(widx); - get mapping address of an outbound memory window
If hardware supports inbound translation configured on the local ntb port:
ntb_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of allocated inbound
memory window so a peer device could access it.
ntb_mw_clear_trans(pidx, widx); - clear the translation address of an inbound
memory window.
If hardware supports outbound translation configured on the peer ntb port:
ntb_peer_mw_set_trans(pidx, widx); - set translation address of a memory

There is some NTB hardware, which can combine more than just two domains
over NTB. For instance, some IDT PCIe-switches can have NTB-functions
activated on more than two-ports. The different domains are distinguished
by ports they are connected to. So the new port-related methods are added to
the NTB API:
ntb_port_number() - return local port
ntb_peer_port_count() - return number of peers local port can connect to
ntb_peer_port_number(pdix) - return port number by it index
ntb_peer_port_idx(port) - return port index by it number
Current test-drivers aren't changed much. They still support two-ports devices
for the time being while multi-ports hardware drivers aren't added.
By default port-related API is declared for two-ports hardware.
So corresponding hardware drivers won't need to implement it.

When using input clocks with high rates, such as clk81 (166MHz), the
fin_ns = NSEC_PER_SEC / fin_freq can introduce a significant error.
Ex: fin_freq = 166666667, NSEC_PER_SEC = 1000000000
fin_ns = 5,9999999
which is, of course, rounded down to 5. This introduces an error of ~20%
on the period requested from the PWM.
This patch uses ps instead of ns (and 64 bit integers) to perform the

Latest change in open-lldp code uses bytes 6-11 of perm_addr buffer
as the Ethernet source address for the host TLV packet.
Since our driver does not fill these bytes, they stay at zero and
the open-lldp code ends up sending the TLV packet with zero source
address and the switch drops this packet.
The fix is to initialize these bytes to 0xff. The open-lldp code
considers 0xff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff as the invalid address and falls back to
use the host's mac address as the Ethernet source address.

Jan Kara's description for this patch is much better than mine, so I'm
quoting it verbatim here:
DAX currently doesn't set errors in the mapping when cache flushing
fails in dax_writeback_mapping_range(). Since this function can get
called only from fsync(2) or sync(2), this is actually as good as it can
currently get since we correctly propagate the error up from
dax_writeback_mapping_range() to filemap_fdatawrite()
However, in the future better writeback error handling will enable us to
properly report these errors on fsync(2) even if there are multiple file
descriptors open against the file or if sync(2) gets called before
fsync(2). So convert DAX to using standard error reporting through the
mapping.

When a writeback error occurs, we want later callers to be able to pick
up that fact when they go to wait on that writeback to complete.
Traditionally, we've used AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC flags to track that, but
that's problematic since only one "checker" will be informed when an
error occurs.
In later patches, we're going to want to convert many of these callers
to check for errors since a well-defined point in time. For now, ensure
that we can handle both sorts of checks by both setting errors in both
places when there is a writeback failure.
Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>
Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and
filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors
at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from
most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from
filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of
contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but
also in truncate calls, getattr, etc.
The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback
errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out
errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at
nonsensical times.
If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that
it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also
clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug,
and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption.
This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and
reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my
original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that
current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most
applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote
has hit the backing store.
In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same
time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will
see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open
fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even
be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync
callers is not really an option.
One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used
to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be
slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here
without incurring too much overhead.
This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding
one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the
mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since"
value.
This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that
applications can now use it to determine whether there were any
writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was
opened in the case of fsync having never been called).
Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data
that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now
with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure.
This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success.
The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more
reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic
infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor"
is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the
existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at
fsync time.
