extract_crng() and crng_backtrack_protect() load crng_node_pool with a
plain load, which causes undefined behavior if do_numa_crng_init()
modifies it concurrently.
Fix this by using READ_ONCE(). Note: as per the previous discussion
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211219025139.31085-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u,
READ_ONCE() is believed to be sufficient here, and it was requested that
it be used here instead of smp_load_acquire().
Also change do_numa_crng_init() to set crng_node_pool using
cmpxchg_release() instead of mb() + cmpxchg(), as the former is
sufficient here but is more lightweight.

PT_REGS*() macro on some architectures force-cast struct pt_regs to
other types (user_pt_regs, etc) and might drop volatile modifiers, if any.
Volatile isn't really required as pt_regs value isn't supposed to change
during the BPF program run, so this is correct behavior.
But progs/loop3.c relies on that volatile modifier to ensure that loop
is preserved. Fix loop3.c by declaring i and sum variables as volatile
instead. It preserves the loop and makes the test pass on all
architectures (including s390x which is currently broken).

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older
style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].
Refactor the code a bit according to the use of a flexible-array member
in struct nfs4_file_layout_dsaddr instead of a one-element array, and
use the struct_size() helper.
This helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable -Warray-bounds
and get us closer to being able to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines
on memcpy().
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed,
manually.

Storing the 'struct cred *' in nfs_access_entry is problematic.
An active 'cred' can keep a 'struct key *' active, and a quota is
imposed on the number of such keys that a user can maintain.
Cached 'nfs_access_entry' structs have indefinite lifetime, and having
these keep 'struct key's alive imposes on that quota.
So remove the 'struct cred *' and replace it with the fields we need:
kuid_t, kgid_t, and struct group_info *
This makes the 'struct nfs_access_entry' 64 bits larger.

Online fsck depends on callers holding ILOCK_EXCL from the time they
decide to update a block mapping until after they've updated the reverse
mapping records to guarantee the stability of both mapping records.
Unfortunately, the quota code drops ILOCK_EXCL at the first transaction
roll in the dquot allocation process, which breaks that assertion. This
leads to sporadic failures in the online rmap repair code if the repair
code grabs the AGF after bmapi_write maps a new block into the quota
file's data fork but before it can finish the deferred rmap update.
Fix this by rewriting the function to hold the ILOCK until after the
transaction commit like all other bmap updates do, and get rid of the
dqread wrapper that does nothing but complicate the codebase.

On this workload, that's almost a dozen CPUs all trying to compact
and reclaim memory inside kvmalloc_node at the same time. Yet it is
regularly falling back to vmalloc despite all that compaction, page
and shrinker reclaim that direct reclaim is doing. Copying all the
metadata is taking far less CPU time than allocating the storage!
Direct reclaim should be considered extremely harmful.
This is a high frequency, high throughput, CPU usage and latency
sensitive allocation. We've got memory there, and we're using
kvmalloc to allow memory allocation to avoid doing lots of work to
try to do contiguous allocations.
Except it still does *lots of costly work* that is unnecessary.
Worse: the only way to avoid the slowpath page allocation trying to
do compaction on costly allocations is to turn off direct reclaim
(i.e. remove __GFP_RECLAIM_DIRECT from the gfp flags).
Unfortunately, the stupid kvmalloc API then says "oh, this isn't a
GFP_KERNEL allocation context, so you only get kmalloc!". This
cuts off the vmalloc fallback, and this leads to almost instant OOM
problems which ends up in filesystems deadlocks, shutdowns and/or
kernel crashes.
I want some basic kvmalloc behaviour:
- kmalloc for a contiguous range with fail fast semantics - no
compaction direct reclaim if the allocation enters the slow path.
- run normal vmalloc (i.e. GFP_KERNEL) if kmalloc fails
The really, really stupid part about this is these kvmalloc() calls
are run under memalloc_nofs task context, so all the allocations are
always reduced to GFP_NOFS regardless of the fact that kvmalloc
requires GFP_KERNEL to be passed in. IOWs, we're already telling
kvmalloc to behave differently to the gfp flags we pass in, but it
still won't allow vmalloc to be run with anything other than
GFP_KERNEL.
So, this patch open codes the kvmalloc() in the commit path to have
the above described behaviour. The result is we more than halve the
CPU time spend doing kvmalloc() in this path and transaction commits
with 64kB objects in them more than doubles. i.e. we get ~5x
reduction in CPU usage per costly-sized kvmalloc() invocation and
the profile looks like this:
- 37.60% xlog_cil_commit
16.01% memcpy_erms
- 8.45% __kmalloc
- 8.04% kmalloc_order_trace
- 8.03% kmalloc_order
- 7.93% alloc_pages
- 7.90% __alloc_pages
- 4.05% __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.0
- 2.18% get_page_from_freelist
- 1.77% wake_all_kswapds
....
- __wake_up_common_lock
- 0.94% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 3.72% get_page_from_freelist
- 2.43% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 5.72% vmalloc
- 5.72% __vmalloc_node_range
- 4.81% __get_vm_area_node.constprop.0
- 3.26% alloc_vmap_area
- 2.52% _raw_spin_lock
- 1.46% _raw_spin_lock
0.56% __alloc_pages_bulk
- 4.66% kvfree
- 3.25% vfree
- __vfree
- 3.23% __vunmap
- 1.95% remove_vm_area
- 1.06% free_vmap_area_noflush
- 0.82% _raw_spin_lock
- 0.68% _raw_spin_lock
- 0.92% _raw_spin_lock
- 1.40% kfree
- 1.36% __free_pages
- 1.35% __free_pages_ok
- 1.02% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
It's worth noting that over 50% of the CPU time spent allocating
these shadow buffers is now spent on spinlocks. So the shadow buffer
allocation overhead is greatly reduced by getting rid of direct
reclaim from kmalloc, and could probably be made even less costly if
vmalloc() didn't use global spinlocks to protect it's structures.

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a
kobj_type, through the default_attrs field, and the default_groups
field. Move the xfs sysfs code to use default_groups field which has
been the preferred way since aa30f47cf6 ("kobject: Add support for
default attribute groups to kobj_type") so that we can soon get rid of
the obsolete default_attrs field.
