The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely unexplained. They also caused a huge performance regression, because "->poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect calls. Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the "->get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer to the poll head instead. That gets rid of one of the new indirections. But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted for the regular case. The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental redesign.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control along with fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've fixed writepage flow which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO of fsync(2) due to mapping's error state. In order to avoid old MM bug [1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO for the mapping for node and meta page caches. As always, we've cleaned up many places for future fsverity and symbol conflicts. Enhancements: - do discard/fstrim in lower priority considering fs utilization - split large discard commands into smaller ones for better responsiveness - add more sanity checks to address syzbot reports - add a mount option, fsync_mode=nobarrier, which can reduce # of cache flushes - clean up symbol namespace with modified function names - be strict on block allocation and IO control in corner cases Bug fixes: - don't use __GFP_ZERO for mappings - fix error reports in writepage to avoid fsync() failure - avoid selinux denial on CAP_RESOURCE on resgid/resuid - fix some subtle race conditions in GC/atomic writes/shutdown - fix overflow bugs in sanity_check_raw_super - fix missing bits on get_flags Clean-ups: - prepare the generic flow for future fsverity integration - fix some broken coding standard" [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/8/661 * tag 'f2fs-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (79 commits) f2fs: fix to clear FI_VOLATILE_FILE correctly f2fs: let sync node IO interrupt async one f2fs: don't change wbc->sync_mode f2fs: fix to update mtime correctly fs: f2fs: insert space around that ':' and ', ' fs: f2fs: add missing blank lines after declarations fs: f2fs: changed variable type of offset "unsigned" to "loff_t" f2fs: clean up symbol namespace f2fs: make set_de_type() static f2fs: make __f2fs_write_data_pages() static f2fs: fix to avoid accessing cross the boundary f2fs: fix to let caller retry allocating block address disable loading f2fs module on PAGE_SIZE > 4KB f2fs: fix error path of move_data_page f2fs: don't drop dentry pages after fs shutdown f2fs: fix to avoid race during access gc_thread pointer f2fs: clean up with clear_radix_tree_dirty_tag f2fs: fix to don't trigger writeback during recovery f2fs: clear discard_wake earlier f2fs: let discard thread wait a little longer if dev is busy ...
Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big staging and IIO driver update for 4.18-rc1.
It was delayed as I wanted to make sure the final driver deletions did
not cause any major merge issues, and all now looks good.
There are a lot of patches here, just over 1000. The diffstat summary
shows the major changes here:
1007 files changed, 16828 insertions(+), 227770 deletions(-)
Because of this, we might be close to shrinking the overall kernel
source code size for two releases in a row.
There was loads of work in this release cycle, primarily:
- tons of ks7010 driver cleanups
- lots of mt7621 driver fixes and cleanups
- most driver cleanups
- wilc1000 fixes and cleanups
- lots and lots of IIO driver cleanups and new additions
- debugfs cleanups for all staging drivers
- lots of other staging driver cleanups and fixes, the shortlog has
the full details.
but the big user-visable things here are the removal of 3 chunks of
code:
- ncpfs and ipx were removed on schedule, no one has cared about this
code since it moved to staging last year, and if it needs to come
back, it can be reverted.
- lustre file system is removed.
I've ranted at the lustre developers about once a year for the past
5 years, with no real forward progress at all to clean things up
and get the code into the "real" part of the kernel.
Given that the lustre developers continue to work on an external
tree and try to port those changes to the in-kernel tree every once
in a while, this whole thing really really is not working out at
all. So I'm deleting it so that the developers can spend the time
working in their out-of-tree location and get things cleaned up
properly to get merged into the tree correctly at a later date.
Because of these file removals, you will have merge issues on some of
these files (2 in the ipx code, 1 in the ncpfs code, and 1 in the
atomisp driver). Just delete those files, it's a simple merge :)
All of this has been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"
