commit fe19bd3dae3d15d2fbfdb3de8839a6ea0fe94264 upstream.

If more than one futex is placed on a shmem huge page, it can happen
that waking the second wakes the first instead, and leaves the second
waiting: the key's shared.pgoff is wrong.

When 3.11 commit 13d60f4b6ab5 ("futex: Take hugepages into account when
generating futex_key"), the only shared huge pages came from hugetlbfs,
and the code added to deal with its exceptional page-&gt;index was put into
hugetlb source.  Then that was missed when 4.8 added shmem huge pages.

page_to_pgoff() is what others use for this nowadays: except that, as
currently written, it gives the right answer on hugetlbfs head, but
nonsense on hugetlbfs tails.  Fix that by calling hugetlbfs-specific
hugetlb_basepage_index() on PageHuge tails as well as on head.

Yes, it's unconventional to declare hugetlb_basepage_index() there in
pagemap.h, rather than in hugetlb.h; but I do not expect anything but
page_to_pgoff() ever to need it.

<title>fs/cachefiles: Remove wait_bit_key layout dependency</title>

commit 39f985c8f667c80a3d1eb19d31138032fa36b09e upstream.

Cachefiles was relying on wait_page_key and wait_bit_key being the
same layout, which is fragile.  Now that wait_page_key is exposed in
the pagemap.h header, we can remove that fragility

A comment on the need to maintain structure layout equivalence was added by
Linus[1] and that is no longer applicable.

Both btrfs and fuse have reported faults caused by seeing a retry entry
instead of the page they were looking for.  This was caused by a missing
check in the iterator.

As can be seen in the below panic log, the accessing 0x402 causes a
panic.  In the xarray.h, 0x402 means RETRY_ENTRY.

Patch series "Readahead patches for 5.9/5.10".

These are infrastructure for both the THP patchset and for the fscache
rewrite,

For both pieces of infrastructure being build on top of this patchset, we
want the ractl to be available higher in the call-stack.

For David's work, he wants to add the 'critical page' to the ractl so that
he knows which page NEEDS to be brought in from storage, and which ones
are nice-to-have.  We might want something similar in block storage too.
It used to be simple -- the first page was the critical one, but then mmap
added fault-around and so for that usecase, the middle page is the
critical one.  Anyway, I don't have any code to show that yet, we just
know that the lowest point in the callchain where we have that information
is do_sync_mmap_readahead() and so the ractl needs to start its life
there.

For THP, we havew the code that needs it.  It's actually the apex patch to
the series; the one which finally starts to allocate THPs and present them
to consenting filesystems:
http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache.git/commitdiff/798bcf30ab2eff278caad03a9edca74d2f8ae760

This patch (of 8):

Allow for a more concise definition of a struct readahead_control.

<title>fs: do not update nr_thps for mappings which support THPs</title>

The nr_thps counter is to support THPs in the page cache when the
filesystem doesn't understand THPs.  Eventually it will be removed, but we
should still support filesystems which do not understand THPs yet.  Move
the nr_thp manipulation functions to filemap.h since they're page-cache
specific.

<title>fs: add a filesystem flag for THPs</title>

<content type='text'>
The page cache needs to know whether the filesystem supports THPs so that
it doesn't send THPs to filesystems which can't handle them.  Dave Chinner
points out that getting from the page mapping to the filesystem type is
too many steps (mapping-&gt;host-&gt;i_sb-&gt;s_type-&gt;fs_flags) so cache that
information in the address space flags.

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
 "There's not a lot of new stuff going on here -- a little bit of code
  refactoring to make iomap workable with btrfs' fsync locking model,
  cleanups in preparation for adding THP support for filesystems, and
  fixing a data corruption issue for blocksize &lt; pagesize filesystems.

  Summary:

   - Don't WARN_ON weird states that unprivileged users can create.

   - Don't invalidate page cache when direct writes want to fall back to
     buffered.

   - Fix some problems when readahead ios fail.

   - Fix a problem where inline data pages weren't getting flushed
     during an unshare operation.

   - Rework iomap to support arbitrarily many blocks per page in
     preparation to support THP for the page cache.

   - Fix a bug in the blocksize &lt; pagesize buffered io path where we
     could fail to initialize the many-blocks-per-page uptodate bitmap
     correctly when the backing page is actually up to date. This could
     cause us to forget to write out dirty pages.

   - Split out the generic_write_sync at the end of the directio write
     path so that btrfs can drop the inode lock before sync'ing the
     file.

   - Call inode_dio_end before trying to sync the file after a O_DSYNC
     direct write (instead of afterwards) to match the behavior of the
     old directio code"

* tag 'iomap-5.10-merge-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  iomap: Call inode_dio_end() before generic_write_sync()
  iomap: Allow filesystem to call iomap_dio_complete without i_rwsem
