What happens is the following:

    (1) new MON session is established
    (2) old "none" ac is destroyed
    (3) new "cephx" ac is constructed
    ...
    (4) old OSD session (w/ "none" authorizer) is put
          ceph_auth_destroy_authorizer(ac, osd->o_auth.authorizer)

osd->o_auth.authorizer in the "none" case is just a bare pointer into
ac, which contains a single static copy for all services.  By the time
we get to (4), "none" ac, freed in (2), is long gone.  On top of that,
a new vtable installed in (3) points us at ceph_x_destroy_authorizer(),
so we end up trying to destroy a "none" authorizer with a "cephx"
destructor operating on invalid memory!

To fix this, decouple authorizer destruction from ac and do away with
a single static "none" authorizer by making a copy for each OSD or MDS
session.  Authorizers themselves are independent of ac and so there is
no reason for destroy_authorizer() to be an ac op.  Make it an op on
the authorizer itself by turning ceph_authorizer into a real struct.

7ba2f2757d spi: core: add hook flash_read_supported to spi_master
If hook spi_flash_read is implemented the fast flash read feature
is enabled for all devices attached to the respective master.

In most cases there is just one flash chip, however there are also
devices with more than one flash chip, namely some WiFi routers.
Then the fast flash read feature can be used for the first chip only.
OpenWRT implemented an own handling of this case, using controller_data
element of spi_device to hold the information whether fast flash read
can be used for a device.

This patch adds hook flash_read_supported to spi_master which is
used to extend spi_flash_read_supported() by checking whether the
fast flash read feature can be used for a specific spi_device.

If the hook is not implemented the default behavior is to allow
fast flash read for all devices (if spi_flash_read is implemented).

d296ba60d8 soreuseport: Resolve merge conflict for v4/v6 ordering fix
d894ba18d4 ("soreuseport: fix ordering for mixed v4/v6 sockets")
was merged as a bug fix to the net tree.  Two conflicting changes
were committed to net-next before the above fix was merged back to
net-next:
ca065d0cf8 ("udp: no longer use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU")
3b24d854cb ("tcp/dccp: do not touch listener sk_refcnt under synflood")

These changes switched the datastructure used for TCP and UDP sockets
from hlist_nulls to hlist.  This patch applies the necessary parts
of the net tree fix to net-next which were not automatic as part of the
merge.

b93876845c [media] media: vb2: Fix regression on poll() for RW mode
When using a device is read/write mode, vb2 does not handle properly the
first select/poll operation.

The reason for this, is that when this code has been refactored, some of
the operations have changed their order, and now fileio emulator is not
started.

The reintroduced check to the core is enabled by a quirk flag, that
avoids this check by other subsystems like DVB.

The complete common architectural and micro-architectural
event number structure is filtered based on PMCEIDn_EL0 and
exposed to /sys using is_visibile function pointer in events
attribute_group.
To filter the events in is_visible function, pmceid based bitmap
is stored in arm_pmu structure and the id field from
perf_pmu_events_attr is used to check against the bitmap.

The function which derives event bitmap from PMCEIDn_EL0 is
executed in the cpus, which has the pmu being initialized,
for heterogeneous pmu support.

5fc7197d3a net/mlx5: Add pci shutdown callback
This patch introduces kexec support for mlx5.
When switching kernels, kexec() calls shutdown, which unloads
the driver and cleans its resources.

In addition, remove unregister netdev from shutdown flow. This will
allow a clean shutdown, even if some netdev clients did not release their
reference from this netdev. Releasing The HW resources only is enough as
the kernel is shutting down

cd255efff9 net/mlx5e: Use vport MTU rather than physical port MTU
Set and report vport MTU rather than physical MTU,
Driver will set both vport and physical port mtu and will
rely on the query of vport mtu.

SRIOV VFs have to report their MTU to their vport manager (PF),
and this will allow them to work with any MTU they need
without failing the request.

Also for some cases where the PF is not a port owner, PF can
work with MTU less than the physical port mtu if set physical
port mtu didn't take effect.

10d3be5692 tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit time
Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits.

This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their
bugs, but we believe the dark age is over.

Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal
has a lot of benefits.
 - Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs
 - Less cpu overhead at ACK processing.
 - Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how
   awful linux was at this ;)
 - Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets
   (IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...)
 - Better latencies in presence of losses.
 - Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits
   are not constrained by TCP Small Queues.

1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this
translates to ~80,000 losses per second.
Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events
leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already
under stress.

When using switchdev deferred operation (SWITCHDEV_F_DEFER), the operation
is executed in different context and the application doesn't have any way
to get the operation real status.

Adding a completion callback fixes that. This patch adds fields to

41617e1a8d jbd2: add support for avoiding data writes during transaction commits
Currently when filesystem needs to make sure data is on permanent
storage before committing a transaction it adds inode to transaction's
inode list. During transaction commit, jbd2 writes back all dirty
buffers that have allocated underlying blocks and waits for the IO to
finish. However when doing writeback for delayed allocated data, we
allocate blocks and immediately submit the data. Thus asking jbd2 to
write dirty pages just unnecessarily adds more work to jbd2 possibly
writing back other redirtied blocks.

Add support to jbd2 to allow filesystem to ask jbd2 to only wait for
outstanding data writes before committing a transaction and thus avoid
unnecessary writes.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
tree, mostly from Florian Westphal to sort out the lack of sufficient
validation in x_tables and connlabel preparation patches to add
nf_tables support. They are:

1) Ensure we don't go over the ruleset blob boundaries in
   mark_source_chains().

2) Validate that target jumps land on an existing xt_entry. This extra
   sanitization comes with a performance penalty when loading the ruleset.

3) Introduce xt_check_entry_offsets() and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.

4) Get rid of the smallish check_entry() functions in {arp,ip,ip6}tables.

5) Make sure the minimal possible target size in x_tables.

6) Similar to #3, add xt_compat_check_entry_offsets() for compat code.

7) Check that standard target size is valid.

8) More sanitization to ensure that the target_offset field is correct.

9) Add xt_check_entry_match() to validate that matches are well-formed.

10-12) Three patch to reduce the number of parameters in
    translate_compat_table() for {arp,ip,ip6}tables by using a container
    structure.

13) No need to return value from xt_compat_match_from_user(), so make
    it void.

14) Consolidate translate_table() so it can be used by compat code too.

15) Remove obsolete check for compat code, so we keep consistent with
    what was already removed in the native layout code (back in 2007).

16) Get rid of target jump validation from mark_source_chains(),
    obsoleted by #2.

17) Introduce xt_copy_counters_from_user() to consolidate counter
    copying, and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.

18,22) Get rid of unnecessary explicit inlining in ctnetlink for dump
    functions.

19) Move nf_connlabel_match() to xt_connlabel.

20) Skip event notification if connlabel did not change.

21) Update of nf_connlabels_get() to make the upcoming nft connlabel
    support easier.

23) Remove spinlock to read protocol state field in conntrack.

1f41906a6f sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accounting
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.

Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.

In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.

So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

9ecda41acb perf/core: Add ::write_backward attribute to perf event
This patch introduces 'write_backward' bit to perf_event_attr, which
controls the direction of a ring buffer. After set, the corresponding
ring buffer is written from end to beginning. This feature is design to
support reading from overwritable ring buffer.

Ring buffer can be created by mapping a perf event fd. Kernel puts event
records into ring buffer, user tooling like perf fetch them from
address returned by mmap(). To prevent racing between kernel and tooling,
they communicate to each other through 'head' and 'tail' pointers.
Kernel maintains 'head' pointer, points it to the next free area (tail
of the last record). Tooling maintains 'tail' pointer, points it to the
tail of last consumed record (record has already been fetched). Kernel
determines the available space in a ring buffer using these two
pointers to avoid overwrite unfetched records.

By mapping without 'PROT_WRITE', an overwritable ring buffer is created.
Different from normal ring buffer, tooling is unable to maintain 'tail'
pointer because writing is forbidden. Therefore, for this type of ring
buffers, kernel overwrite old records unconditionally, works like flight
recorder. This feature would be useful if reading from overwritable ring
buffer were as easy as reading from normal ring buffer. However,
there's an obscure problem.

The following figure demonstrates a full overwritable ring buffer. In
this figure, the 'head' pointer points to the end of last record, and a
long record 'E' is pending. For a normal ring buffer, a 'tail' pointer
would have pointed to position (X), so kernel knows there's no more
space in the ring buffer. However, for an overwritable ring buffer,
kernel ignore the 'tail' pointer.

   (X)                              head

    +------+-------+----------+------+---+

Record 'A' is overwritten by event 'E':

      head
       |
       V
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+
    |.E|..A|B.....B|C........C|D....D|E..|
    +--+---+-------+----------+------+---+

Now tooling decides to read from this ring buffer. However, none of these
two natural positions, 'head' and the start of this ring buffer, are
pointing to the head of a record. Even the full ring buffer can be
accessed by tooling, it is unable to find a position to start decoding.

The first attempt tries to solve this problem AFAIK can be found from
[1]. It makes kernel to maintain 'tail' pointer: updates it when ring
buffer is half full. However, this approach introduces overhead to
fast path. Test result shows a 1% overhead [2]. In addition, this method
utilizes no more tham 50% records.

Another attempt can be found from [3], which allows putting the size of
an event at the end of each record. This approach allows tooling to find
records in a backward manner from 'head' pointer by reading size of a
record from its tail. However, because of alignment requirement, it
needs 8 bytes to record the size of a record, which is a huge waste. Its
performance is also not good, because more data need to be written.
This approach also introduces some extra branch instructions to fast
path.

'write_backward' is a better solution to this problem.

Following figure demonstrates the state of the overwritable ring buffer
when 'write_backward' is set before overwriting:

       head
        |
        V
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+
    |   |D....D|C........C|B.....B|A....A|
    +---+------+----------+-------+------+

and after overwriting:
                                     head
                                      |
                                      V
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+
    |..E|D....D|C........C|B.....B|A..|E.|
    +---+------+----------+-------+---+--+

In each situation, 'head' points to the beginning of the newest record.
From this record, tooling can iterate over the full ring buffer and fetch
records one by one.

The only limitation that needs to be considered is back-to-back reading.
Due to the non-deterministic of user programs, it is impossible to ensure
the ring buffer keeps stable during reading. Consider an extreme situation:
tooling is scheduled out after reading record 'D', then a burst of events
come, eat up the whole ring buffer (one or multiple rounds). When the
tooling process comes back, reading after 'D' is incorrect now.

To prevent this problem, we need to find a way to ensure the ring buffer
is stable during reading. ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT) is
suggested because its overhead is lower than
ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_ENABLE).

By carefully verifying 'header' pointer, reader can avoid pausing the
ring-buffer. For example:

    /* A union of all possible events */
    union perf_event event;

    p = head = perf_mmap__read_head();
    while (true) {
        /* copy header of next event */
        fetch(&event.header, p, sizeof(event.header));

        /* read 'head' pointer */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* check overwritten: is the header good? */
        if (!verify(sizeof(event.header), p, head))
            break;

        /* copy the whole event */
        fetch(&event, p, event.header.size);

        /* read 'head' pointer again */
        head = perf_mmap__read_head();

        /* is the whole event good? */
        if (!verify(event.header.size, p, head))
            break;
        p += event.header.size;
    }

However, the overhead is high because:

 a) In-place decoding is not safe.
    Copying-verifying-decoding is required.
 b) Fetching 'head' pointer requires additional synchronization.

(From Alexei Starovoitov:

Even when this trick works, pause is needed for more than stability of
reading. When we collect the events into overwrite buffer we're waiting
for some other trigger (like all cpu utilization spike or just one cpu
running and all others are idle) and when it happens the buffer has
valuable info from the past. At this point new events are no longer
interesting and buffer should be paused, events read and unpaused until
next trigger comes.)

This patch utilizes event's default overflow_handler introduced
previously. perf_event_output_backward() is created as the default
overflow handler for backward ring buffers. To avoid extra overhead to
fast path, original perf_event_output() becomes __perf_event_output()
and marked '__always_inline'. In theory, there's no extra overhead
introduced to fast path.

Performance testing:

Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration.  Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.

Testing environment:

  CPU    : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
  Kernel : v4.5.0
                    MEAN         STDVAR
 BASE            800214.950    2853.083
 PRE1           2253846.700    9997.014
 PRE2           2257495.540    8516.293
 POST           2250896.100    8933.921

Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE1' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'PRE2' is test result before this
patch. 'POST' is test result after this patch. See [4] for the detailed
experimental setup.

Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't introduce performance
overhead to the fast path.
