Pull followup block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "I ended up splitting the main pull request for this series into two,
  mainly because of clashes between NVMe fixes that went into 4.13 after
  the for-4.14 branches were split off. This pull request is mostly
  NVMe, but not exclusively. In detail, it contains:

   - Two pull request for NVMe changes from Christoph. Nothing new on
     the feature front, basically just fixes all over the map for the
     core bits, transport, rdma, etc.

   - Series from Bart, cleaning up various bits in the BFQ scheduler.

   - Series of bcache fixes, which has been lingering for a release or
     two. Coly sent this in, but patches from various people in this
     area.

   - Set of patches for BFQ from Paolo himself, updating both
     documentation and fixing some corner cases in performance.

   - Series from Omar, attempting to now get the 4k loop support
     correct. Our confidence level is higher this time.

   - Series from Shaohua for loop as well, improving O_DIRECT
     performance and fixing a use-after-free"

drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: convert to using memset_l

2017-09-09T01:26:48+00:00

zram was the motivation for creating memset_l().  Minchan Kim sees a 7%
performance improvement on x86 with 100MB of non-zero deduplicatable
data:

        perf stat -r 10 dd if=/dev/zram0 of=/dev/null

vanilla:        0.232050465 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.51% )
memset_l:	0.217219387 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0.07% )

Merge tag 'powerpc-4.14-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
"Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
Just lots of things all over the place.

Some things of note include:

- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
controller etc).

- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
tree is not changing.

- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
closer to other architectures where possible.

- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
CPUs.

- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
with very sparse NUMA layouts.

- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.

- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.

- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
compression accelerator.

- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.

- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
controller.

And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
always.

block, THP: make block_device_operations.rw_page support THP

2017-09-07T00:27:27+00:00

The .rw_page in struct block_device_operations is used by the swap
subsystem to read/write the page contents from/into the corresponding
swap slot in the swap device.  To support the THP (Transparent Huge
Page) swap optimization, the .rw_page is enhanced to support to
read/write THP if possible.

zram: read page from backing device

2017-09-07T00:27:25+00:00

This patch enables read IO from backing device.  For the feature, it
implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage.

One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one.

A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to
complete read IO before the overwriting partial data.

We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I
don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want
to go with simple.

zram: write incompressible pages to backing device

2017-09-07T00:27:25+00:00

This patch enables write IO to transfer data to backing device.  For
that, it implements write_to_bdev function which creates new bio and
chaining with parent bio to make the parent bio asynchrnous.

For rw_page which don't have parent bio, it submit owned bio and handle
IO completion by zram_page_end_io.

Also, this patch defines new flag ZRAM_WB to mark written page for later
read IO.
