Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It's been usually busy for summer, with most of the efforts centered
  around TCMU developments and various target-core + fabric driver bug
  fixing activities. Not particularly large in terms of LoC, but lots of
  smaller patches from many different folks.

  The highlights include:

   - ibmvscsis logical partition manager support (Michael Cyr + Bryant
     Ly)

   - Convert target/iblock WRITE_SAME to blkdev_issue_zeroout (hch +
     nab)

   - Add support for TMR percpu LUN reference counting (nab)

   - Fix a potential deadlock between EXTENDED_COPY and iscsi shutdown
     (Bart)

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE caw_sem leak during se_cmd quiesce (Jiang Yi)

   - Fix TMCU module removal (Xiubo Li)

   - Fix iser-target OOPs during login failure (Andrea Righi + Sagi)

   - Breakup target-core free_device backend driver callback (mnc)

   - Perform TCMU add/delete/reconfig synchronously (mnc)

   - Fix TCMU multiple UIO open/close sequences (mnc)

   - Fix TCMU CHECK_CONDITION sense handling (mnc)

   - Fix target-core SAM_STAT_BUSY + TASK_SET_FULL handling (mnc + nab)

   - Introduce TYPE_ZBC support in PSCSI (Damien Le Moal)

   - Fix possible TCMU memory leak + OOPs when recalculating cmd base
     size (Xiubo Li + Bryant Ly + Damien Le Moal + mnc)

   - Add login_keys_workaround attribute for non RFC initiators (Robert
     LeBlanc + Arun Easi + nab)"

<title>mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

<id>urn:sha1:532e15af105a0b86211f515bd5fec1f4cdd9f27b</id>
<content type='text'>
This is to silence an uninitialized variable warning in debug output.
The problem is this line:

	pr_debug("vhost_get_vq_desc: head: %d, out: %u in: %u\n",
		 head, out, in);

If "head == vq-&gt;num" is true on the first iteration then "out" and "in"
aren't initialized.  We handle that a few lines after the printk.  I was
tempted to just delete the pr_debug() but I decided to just initialize
them to zero instead.

Also checkpatch.pl complains if variables are declared as just
"unsigned" without the "int".

passed as an argument to the functions target_register_template and
target_unregister_template. The arguments are of type const struct
target_core_fabric_ops *, so target_core_fabric_ops structures having
this property can be declared const.

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - more -&gt;d_init() stuff (work.dcache)

 - pathname resolution cleanups (work.namei)

 - a few missing iov_iter primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and
   friends. Either copy the full requested amount, advance the iterator
   and return true, or fail, return false and do _not_ advance the
   iterator. Quite a few open-coded callers converted (and became more
   readable and harder to fuck up that way) (work.iov_iter)

 - several assorted patches, the big one being logfs removal

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  logfs: remove from tree
  vfs: fix put_compat_statfs64() does not handle errors
  namei: fold should_follow_link() with the step into not-followed link
  namei: pass both WALK_GET and WALK_MORE to should_follow_link()
  namei: invert WALK_PUT logics
  namei: shift interpretation of LOOKUP_FOLLOW inside should_follow_link()
  namei: saner calling conventions for mountpoint_last()
  namei.c: get rid of user_path_parent()
  switch getfrag callbacks to ..._full() primitives
  make skb_add_data,{_nocache}() and skb_copy_to_page_nocache() advance only on success
  [iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friends
  don't open-code file_inode()
  ceph: switch to use of -&gt;d_init()

copy_from_iter_full(), copy_from_iter_full_nocache() and
csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() - counterparts of copy_from_iter()
et.al., advancing iterator only in case of successful full copy
and returning whether it had been successful or not.

Convert some obvious users.  *NOTE* - do not blindly assume that
something is a good candidate for those unless you are sure that
not advancing iov_iter in failure case is the right thing in
this case.  Anything that does short read/short write kind of
stuff (or is in a loop, etc.) is unlikely to be a good one.

The address of the iovec &amp;vq-&gt;iov[out] is not guaranteed to contain the scsi
command's response iovec throughout the lifetime of the command.  Rather, it
is more likely to contain an iovec from an immediately following command
after looping back around to vhost_get_vq_desc().  Pass along the iovec
entirely instead.
