Add #include &lt;linux/cred.h&gt; dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.

Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; is included in over
2,200 files ...

<title>mm: replace FAULT_FLAG_SIZE with parameter to huge_fault</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c791ace1e747371658237f0d30234fef56c39669</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the introduction of FAULT_FLAG_SIZE to the vm_fault flag, it has
been somewhat painful with getting the flags set and removed at the
correct locations.  More than one kernel oops was introduced due to
difficulties of getting the placement correctly.

Remove the flag values and introduce an input parameter to huge_fault
that indicates the size of the page entry.  This makes the code easier
to trace and should avoid the issues we see with the fault flags where
removal of the flag was necessary in the fallback paths.

<title>mm,fs,dax: change -&gt;pmd_fault to -&gt;huge_fault</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "1G transparent hugepage support for device dax", v2.

The following series implements support for 1G trasparent hugepage on
x86 for device dax.  The bulk of the code was written by Mathew Wilcox a
while back supporting transparent 1G hugepage for fs DAX.  I have
forward ported the relevant bits to 4.10-rc.  The current submission has
only the necessary code to support device DAX.

Comments from Dan Williams: So the motivation and intended user of this
functionality mirrors the motivation and users of 1GB page support in
hugetlbfs.  Given expected capacities of persistent memory devices an
in-memory database may want to reduce tlb pressure beyond what they can
already achieve with 2MB mappings of a device-dax file.  We have
customer feedback to that effect as Willy mentioned in his previous
version of these patches [1].

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/31/52

Comments from Nilesh @ Oracle:

There are applications which have a process model; and if you assume
10,000 processes attempting to mmap all the 6TB memory available on a
server; we are looking at the following:

processes         : 10,000
memory            :    6TB
pte @ 4k page size: 8 bytes / 4K of memory * #processes = 6TB / 4k * 8 * 10000 = 1.5GB * 80000 = 120,000GB
pmd @ 2M page size: 120,000 / 512 = ~240GB
pud @ 1G page size: 240GB / 512 = ~480MB

As you can see with 2M pages, this system will use up an exorbitant
amount of DRAM to hold the page tables; but the 1G pages finally brings
it down to a reasonable level.  Memory sizes will keep increasing; so
this number will keep increasing.

An argument can be made to convert the applications from process model
to thread model, but in the real world that may not be always practical.
Hopefully this helps explain the use case where this is valuable.

This patch (of 3):

In preparation for adding the ability to handle PUD pages, convert
vm_operations_struct.pmd_fault to vm_operations_struct.huge_fault.  The
vm_fault structure is extended to include a union of the different page
table pointers that may be needed, and three flag bits are reserved to
indicate which type of pointer is in the union.

-&gt;fault(), -&gt;page_mkwrite(), and -&gt;pfn_mkwrite() calls do not need to
take a vma and vmf parameter when the vma already resides in vmf.

Remove the vma parameter to simplify things.

As reported by Arnd:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/10/756

Compiling with the following configuration:

  # CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_EXT4_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set
  # CONFIG_FS_IOMAP depends on the above filesystems, as is not set
  CONFIG_FS_DAX=y

generates build warnings about unused functions in fs/dax.c:

  fs/dax.c:878:12: warning: `dax_insert_mapping' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_insert_mapping(struct address_space *mapping,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:572:12: warning: `copy_user_dax' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int copy_user_dax(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector, size_t size,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:542:12: warning: `dax_load_hole' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static int dax_load_hole(struct address_space *mapping, void **entry,
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/dax.c:312:14: warning: `grab_mapping_entry' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
   static void *grab_mapping_entry(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t index,
                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now that the struct buffer_head based DAX fault paths and I/O path have
been removed we really depend on iomap support being present for DAX.
Make this explicit by selecting FS_IOMAP if we compile in DAX support.

This allows us to remove conditional selections of FS_IOMAP when FS_DAX
was present for ext2 and ext4, and to remove an #ifdef in fs/dax.c.

<content type='text'>
So far we did not return BH_New buffers from ext2_get_blocks() when we
allocated and zeroed-out a block for DAX inode to avoid racy zeroing in
DAX code. This zeroing is gone these days so we can remove the
workaround.
