Get the 'device_opp' allocation code into a separate routine to keep only the
necessary part in dev_pm_opp_add_dynamic().
Also do s/sizeof(struct device_opp)/sizeof(*dev_opp) and remove the print
message on kzalloc() failure as checkpatch warns for that.

Somehow one of the instance of freeing resources failed to use kfree_rcu() and
used kfree() instead. This might cause problems as the node might be referenced
by readers under rcu locks and we must wait for the rcu grace period as well.
While we are at it, also update comment over 'struct device_opp' to mention why
we are waiting for both rcu and srcu grace periods.

When we abort a transaction we iterate over all the ranges marked as dirty
in fs_info->freed_extents[0] and fs_info->freed_extents[1], clear them
from those trees, add them back (unpin) to the free space caches and, if
the fs was mounted with "-o discard", perform a discard on those regions.
Also, after adding the regions to the free space caches, a fitrim ioctl call
can see those ranges in a block group's free space cache and perform a discard
on the ranges, so the same issue can happen without "-o discard" as well.
This causes corruption, affecting one or multiple btree nodes (in the worst
case leaving the fs unmountable) because some of those ranges (the ones in
the fs_info->pinned_extents tree) correspond to btree nodes/leafs that are
referred by the last committed super block - breaking the rule that anything
that was committed by a transaction is untouched until the next transaction
commits successfully.
I ran into this while running in a loop (for several hours) the fstest that
I recently submitted:
[PATCH] fstests: add btrfs test to stress chunk allocation/removal and fstrim
The corruption always happened when a transaction aborted and then fsck complained
like this:
_check_btrfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdc is inconsistent
*** fsck.btrfs output ***
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0
read block failed check_tree_block
Couldn't open file system
In this case 94945280 corresponded to the root of a tree.
Using frace what I observed was the following sequence of steps happened:
1) transaction N started, fs_info->pinned_extents pointed to
fs_info->freed_extents[0];
2) node/eb 94945280 is created;
3) eb is persisted to disk;
4) transaction N commit starts, fs_info->pinned_extents now points to
fs_info->freed_extents[1], and transaction N completes;
5) transaction N + 1 starts;
6) eb is COWed, and btrfs_free_tree_block() called for this eb;
7) eb range (94945280 to 94945280 + 16Kb) is added to
fs_info->pinned_extents (fs_info->freed_extents[1]);
8) Something goes wrong in transaction N + 1, like hitting ENOSPC
for example, and the transaction is aborted, turning the fs into
readonly mode. The stack trace I got for example:

[112065.264997] BTRFS info (device sdc): forced readonly
9) The clear kthread sees that the BTRFS_FS_STATE_ERROR bit is set in
fs_info->fs_state and calls btrfs_cleanup_transaction(), which in
turn calls btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent();
10) Then btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent() iterates over all the ranges
marked as dirty in fs_info->freed_extents[], and for each one
it calls discard, if the fs was mounted with "-o discard", and
adds the range to the free space cache of the respective block
group;
11) btrfs_trim_block_group(), invoked from the fitrim ioctl code path,
sees the free space entries and performs a discard;
12) After an umount and mount (or fsck), our eb's location on disk was full
of zeroes, and it should have been untouched, because it was marked as
dirty in the fs_info->pinned_extents tree, and therefore used by the
trees that the last committed superblock points to.
Fix this by not performing a discard and not adding the ranges to the free space
caches - it's useless from this point since the fs is now in readonly mode and
we won't write free space caches to disk anymore (otherwise we would leak space)
nor any new superblock. By not adding the ranges to the free space caches, it
prevents other code paths from allocating that space and write to it as well,
therefore being safer and simpler.
This isn't a new problem, as it's been present since 2011 (git commit
acce952b0263825da32cf10489413dec78053347).

The call to remove_extent_mapping() actually deletes the extent map
from the list it's included in - fs_info->pinned_chunks - and that
list is protected by the chunk mutex. Therefore make that call
while holding the chunk mutex and remove the redundant list delete
call because it's a noop.
This fixes an overlook of the patch titled
"Btrfs: fix race between fs trimming and block group remove/allocation"
following the same obvervation from the patch titled
"Btrfs: fix unprotected deletion from pending_chunks list".

237217546d44 ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),

This patch effectively reverts commit 500f80872645 ("net: ovs: use CRC32
accelerated flow hash if available"), and other remaining arch_fast_hash()
users such as from nfsd via commit 6282cd565553 ("NFSD: Don't hand out
delegations for 30 seconds after recalling them.") where it has been used
as a hash function for bloom filtering.
While we think that these users are actually not much of concern, it has
been requested to remove the arch_fast_hash() library bits that arose
from [1] entirely as per recent discussion [2]. The main argument is that
using it as a hash may introduce bias due to its linearity (see avalanche
criterion) and thus makes it less clear (though we tried to document that)
when this security/performance trade-off is actually acceptable for a
general purpose library function.
Lets therefore avoid any further confusion on this matter and remove it to
prevent any future accidental misuse of it. For the time being, this is
going to make hashing of flow keys a bit more expensive in the ovs case,
but future work could reevaluate a different hashing discipline.

For netlink, we shouldn't be using arch_fast_hash() as a hashing
discipline, but rather jhash() instead.
Since netlink sockets can be opened by any user, a local attacker
would be able to easily create collisions with the DPDK-derived
arch_fast_hash(), which trades off performance for security by
using crc32 CPU instructions on x86_64.
While it might have a legimite use case in other places, it should
be avoided in netlink context, though. As rhashtable's API is very
flexible, we could later on still decide on other hashing disciplines,
if legitimate.

firewire-core uses fw_card.lock to protect topology data and transaction

Introduce a sbp2_target.lock to firewire-sbp2 and replace all

The assertion in the comment in sbp2_allow_block() is no longer true.
Or maybe it never was true. At least now, the sole caller of
sbp2_allow_block(), sbp2_login, can run concurrently to one of
sbp2_unblock()'s callers, sbp2_remove.
sbp2_login is performed by sbp2_logical_unit.work.
sbp2_remove is performed by fw_device.work.
sbp2_remove cancels sbp2_logical_unit.work, but only after it called
sbp2_unblock.

This change replaces calls to netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align with
napi_alloc_skb. The advantage of napi_alloc_skb is currently the fact that
the page allocation doesn't make use of any irq disable calls.
There are few spots where I couldn't replace the calls as the buffer
allocation routine is called as a part of init which is outside of the
softirq context.

This change pulls the core functionality out of __netdev_alloc_skb and
places them in a new function named __alloc_rx_skb. The reason for doing
this is to make these bits accessible to a new function __napi_alloc_skb.
In addition __alloc_rx_skb now has a new flags value that is used to
determine which page frag pool to allocate from. If the SKB_ALLOC_NAPI
flag is set then the NAPI pool is used. The advantage of this is that we
do not have to use local_irq_save/restore when accessing the NAPI pool from
NAPI context.
In my test setup I saw at least 11ns of savings using the napi_alloc_skb
function versus the netdev_alloc_skb function, most of this being due to
the fact that we didn't have to call local_irq_save/restore.
The main use case for napi_alloc_skb would be for things such as copybreak
or page fragment based receive paths where an skb is allocated after the
data has been received instead of before.

This patch splits the netdev_alloc_frag function up so that it can be used
on one of two page frag pools instead of being fixed on the
netdev_alloc_cache. By doing this we can add a NAPI specific function
__napi_alloc_frag that accesses a pool that is only used from softirq
context. The advantage to this is that we do not need to call
local_irq_save/restore which can be a significant savings.
I also took the opportunity to refactor the core bits that were placed in
__alloc_page_frag. First I updated the allocation to do either a 32K
allocation or an order 0 page. This is based on the changes in commmit
d9b2938aa where it was found that latencies could be reduced in case of
failures. Then I also rewrote the logic to work from the end of the page to
the start. By doing this the size value doesn't have to be used unless we
have run out of space for page fragments. Finally I cleaned up the atomic
bits so that we just do an atomic_sub_and_test and if that returns true then
we set the page->_count via an atomic_set. This way we can remove the extra
conditional for the atomic_read since it would have led to an atomic_inc in
the case of success anyway.
