An nvme block device may have open references when the device is
removed. New commands may still be sent on the removed device, so we
need to ref count the opens, return errors for new commands, and not
free the namespace and nvme_dev until all references are closed.

 "Bug-fixes for the new features that were added during this cycle.

  There are also two fixes for long-standing issues for which we have a
  solution: grant-table operations extra work that was not needed
  causing performance issues and the self balloon code was too
  aggressive causing OOMs.

  Details:
   - Xen ARM couldn't use the new FIFO events
   - Xen ARM couldn't use the SWIOTLB if compiled as 32-bit with 64-bit PCIe devices.
   - Grant table were doing needless M2P operations.
   - Ratchet down the self-balloon code so it won't OOM.
   - Fix misplaced kfree in Xen PVH error code paths"

<id>08ece5bb2312b4510b161a6ef6682f37f4eac8a1</id>
<content type='text'>
The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it,
for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as
those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following:
- the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new
  parameter m2p_override
- based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set
  the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine
- gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with
  m2p_override false
- a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour

It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if
XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value
there.

v2:
- move the storing of the old mfn in page-&gt;index to gnttab_map_refs
- move the function header update to a separate patch

v3:
- a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed
- squash the patches into one

v4:
- move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter
- clear page-&gt;private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override
  won't race with this

v5:
- change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs
- remove a stray space in page.h
- add detail why ret = 0 now at some places

v6:
- don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally

<title>zram: remove zram-&gt;lock in read path and change it with mutex</title>

<id>e46e33152eb82b8e2db7ffb3790a2a2653c34513</id>
<content type='text'>
Finally, we separated zram-&gt;lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
changes rw_semaphore with mutex.  So, we could do

old:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: NO
  write-write: NO

Now:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: OK
  write-write: NO

The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
support SPIN_ON_OWNER.  It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.

Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Finally, we separated zram-&gt;lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
changes rw_semaphore with mutex.  So, we could do

old:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: NO
  write-write: NO

Now:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: OK
  write-write: NO

The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
support SPIN_ON_OWNER.  It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.

Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Commit a0c516cbfc74 ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
introduced free request pending code to avoid scheduling by mutex under
spinlock and it was a mess which made code lenghty and increased
overhead.

Now, we don't need zram-&gt;lock any more to free slot so this patch
reverts it and then, tb_lock should protect it.

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram-&gt;lock but it's rather
coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility.

Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram-&gt;lock.  This patch
adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just
prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram-&gt;lock)
which is hurdle about zram scalability.

Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path
and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path.  With bonus, we could
drop pending slot free mess in next patch.

<title>zram: use atomic operation for stat</title>

Some of fields in zram-&gt;stats are protected by zram-&gt;lock which is
rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict
locking.

This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram-&gt;lock in read path
which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore.  Of course, this patch adds
new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't
spot any regression.  All gain/lose is marginal within stddev.

Some of fields in zram-&gt;stats are protected by zram-&gt;lock which is
rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict
locking.

This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram-&gt;lock in read path
which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore.  Of course, this patch adds
new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't
spot any regression.  All gain/lose is marginal within stddev.
