Pull driver core fixes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here are some small driver core and firmware fixes for 4.17-rc3

  There's a kobject WARN() removal to make syzkaller a lot happier about
  some "normal" error paths that it keeps hitting, which should reduce
  the number of false-positives we have been getting recently.

  There's also some fimware test and documentation fixes, and the
  coredump() function signature change that needed to happen after -rc1
  before drivers started to take advantage of it.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

dma-mapping: postpone cpu addr translation on mmap

2018-04-23T12:44:24+00:00

Postpone calling virt_to_page() translation on memory locations not
guaranteed to be backed by a struct page.  Try first to map memory from
the device coherent memory pool, then perform translation if that fails.

On some architectures, specifically SH when configured with the SPARSEMEM
memory model, assuming a struct page is always assigned to a memory
address lead to unexpected hangs during the virtual to page address
translation. This patch fixes that specific issue but applies in the
general case too.

dma-coherent: clarify dma_mmap_from_dev_coherent documentation

2018-04-23T12:44:17+00:00

The use of "correctly mapped" here is misleading, since it can give the
wrong expectation in the case that the memory *should* have been mapped
from the per-device pool, but doing so failed for other reasons.

mm: check __highest_present_section_nr directly in memory_dev_init()

2018-04-11T17:28:31+00:00

__highest_present_section_nr is a more strict boundary than
NR_MEM_SECTIONS.  So checking __highest_present_section_nr directly is
enough.

mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory hotplug

2018-04-06T04:36:25+00:00

During memory hotplugging we traverse struct pages three times:

1. memset(0) in sparse_add_one_section()
2. loop in __add_section() to set do: set_page_node(page, nid); and
   SetPageReserved(page);
3. loop in memmap_init_zone() to call __init_single_pfn()

This patch removes the first two loops, and leaves only loop 3.  All
struct pages are initialized in one place, the same as it is done during
boot.

The benefits:

 - We improve memory hotplug performance because we are not evicting the
   cache several times and also reduce loop branching overhead.

 - Remove condition from hotpath in __init_single_pfn(), that was added
   in order to fix the problem that was reported by Bharata in the above
   email thread, thus also improve performance during normal boot.

 - Make memory hotplug more similar to the boot memory initialization
   path because we zero and initialize struct pages only in one
   function.

 - Simplifies memory hotplug struct page initialization code, and thus
   enables future improvements, such as multi-threading the
   initialization of struct pages in order to improve hotplug
   performance even further on larger machines.

mm/memory_hotplug: don't read nid from struct page during hotplug

2018-04-06T04:36:25+00:00

During memory hotplugging the probe routine will leave struct pages
uninitialized, the same as it is currently done during boot.  Therefore,
we do not want to access the inside of struct pages before
__init_single_page() is called during onlining.

Because during hotplug we know that pages in one memory block belong to
the same numa node, we can skip the checking.  We should keep checking
for the boot case.

mm/memory_hotplug: optimize probe routine

2018-04-06T04:36:25+00:00

When memory is hotplugged pages_correctly_reserved() is called to verify
that the added memory is present, this routine traverses through every
struct page and verifies that PageReserved() is set.  This is a slow
operation especially if a large amount of memory is added.

Instead of checking every page, it is enough to simply check that the
section is present, has mapping (struct page array is allocated), and
the mapping is online.

In addition, we should not excpect that probe routine sets flags in
struct page, as the struct pages have not yet been initialized.  The
initialization should be done in __init_single_page(), the same as
during boot.
