<content type='text'>
At CPU hotunplug the corresponding per cpu matrix allocator is shut down and
the allocated interrupt bits are discarded under the assumption that all
allocated bits have been either migrated away or shut down through the
managed interrupts mechanism.

This is not true because interrupts which are not started up might have a
vector allocated on the outgoing CPU. When the interrupt is started up
later or completely shutdown and freed then the allocated vector is handed
back, triggering warnings or causing accounting issues which result in
suspend failures and other issues.

Change the CPU hotplug mechanism of the matrix allocator so that the
remaining allocations at unplug time are preserved and global accounting at
hotplug is correctly readjusted to take the dormant vectors into account.

Fixes: 2f75d9e1c905 ("genirq: Implement bitmap matrix allocator")

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two small changes:

   - a fix for a interrupt regression caused by the vector management
     changes in 4.15 affecting museum pieces which rely on interrupt
     probing for legacy (e.g. parallel port) devices.

     One of the startup calls in the autoprobe code was not changed to
     the new activate_and_startup() function resulting in a warning and
     as a consequence failing to discover the device interrupt.

   - a trivial update to the copyright/license header of the STM32 irq
     chip driver"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "&lt;log
     level&gt;[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
     command line option.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits)
  printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets
  printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock()
  printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers
  printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes

  powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference

This is caused by the rewrite of the irq activation/startup sequence which
missed to convert a callsite in the irq legacy auto probing code.

To fix this irq_activate_and_startup() needs to gain a return value so the
pending logic can work proper.

     from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.

   - Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
     Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
     rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.

   - A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
     here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
     Johannes.

   - Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
     From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
     Weiping.

   - Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
     logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
     it's a stacked device.

   - Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
     preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.

   - Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
     quiescing.

   - BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
     can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.

   - Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
     scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
     a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.

   - null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
     exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.

   - Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
     this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
     me.

   - sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.

   - Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.

   - Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
     Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"

CONFIG_IRQ_DOMAIN_DEBUG is similar to CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS,
just with less information.

Spring cleanup time.

<title>irq/matrix: Spread interrupts on allocation</title>

Keith reported an issue with vector space exhaustion on a server machine
which is caused by the i40e driver allocating 168 MSI interrupts when the
driver is initialized, even when most of these interrupts are not used at
all.

The x86 vector allocation code tries to avoid the immediate allocation with
the reservation mode, but the card uses MSI and does not support MSI entry
masking, which prevents reservation mode and requires immediate vector
allocation.

The matrix allocator is a bit naive and prefers the first CPU in the
cpumask which describes the possible target CPUs for an allocation. That
results in allocating all 168 vectors on CPU0 which later causes vector
space exhaustion when the NVMe driver tries to allocate managed interrupts
on each CPU for the per CPU queues.

Avoid this by finding the CPU which has the lowest vector allocation count
to spread out the non managed interrupt accross the possible target CPUs.
