git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar: "The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the <linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to have a cleaner header structure. After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs. Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew. I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs, and did a bisectability test at a number of random points. I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations" * 'WIP.sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (146 commits) sched/headers: Clean up <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove #ifdefs from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove the <linux/topology.h> include from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers, hrtimer: Remove the <linux/wait.h> include from <linux/hrtimer.h> sched/headers, x86/apic: Remove the <linux/pm.h> header inclusion from <asm/apic.h> sched/headers, timers: Remove the <linux/sysctl.h> include from <linux/timer.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/magic.h> from <linux/sched/task_stack.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/sched.h> from <linux/sched/init.h> sched/core: Remove unused prefetch_stack() sched/headers: Remove <linux/rculist.h> from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove the 'init_pid_ns' prototype from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/signal.h> from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/rwsem.h> from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove the runqueue_is_locked() prototype sched/headers: Remove <linux/sched.h> from <linux/sched/hotplug.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/sched.h> from <linux/sched/debug.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/sched.h> from <linux/sched/nohz.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/sched.h> from <linux/sched/stat.h> sched/headers: Remove the <linux/gfp.h> include from <linux/sched.h> sched/headers: Remove <linux/rtmutex.h> from <linux/sched.h> ...

2016-12-16vfs: fix vfs_clone_file_range() for overlayfs filesAmir Goldstein
With overlayfs, it is wrong to compare file_inode(inode)->i_sb of regular files with those of non-regular files, because the former reference the real (upper/lower) sb and the latter reference the overlayfs sb. Move the test for same super block after the sanity tests for clone range of directory and non-regular file. This change fixes xfstest generic/157, which returned EXDEV instead of EISDIR/EINVAL in the following test cases over overlayfs: echo "Try to reflink a dir" _reflink_range $testdir1/dir1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz echo "Try to reflink a device" _reflink_range $testdir1/dev1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2016-12-09fs: try to clone files first in vfs_copy_file_rangeChristoph Hellwig
A clone is a perfectly fine implementation of a file copy, so most file systems just implement the copy that way. Instead of duplicating this logic move it to the VFS. Currently btrfs and XFS implement copies the same way as clones and there is no behavior change for them, cifs only implements clones and grow support for copy_file_range with this patch. NFS implements both, so this will allow copy_file_range to work on servers that only implement CLONE and be lot more efficient on servers that implements CLONE and COPY.

2016-10-14iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()Vegard Nossum
Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array (typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the fast path (i.e. few iovec elements). The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between the too.

2015-12-07vfs: pull btrfs clone API to vfs layerChristoph Hellwig
The btrfs clone ioctls are now adopted by other file systems, with NFS and CIFS already having support for them, and XFS being under active development. To avoid growth of various slightly incompatible implementations, add one to the VFS. Note that clones are different from file copies in several ways: - they are atomic vs other writers - they support whole file clones - they support 64-bit legth clones - they do not allow partial success (aka short writes) - clones are expected to be a fast metadata operation Because of that it would be rather cumbersome to try to piggyback them on top of the recent clone_file_range infrastructure. The converse isn't true and the clone_file_range system call could try clone file range as a first attempt to copy, something that further patches will enable. Based on earlier work from Peng Tao.

2015-12-01vfs: add copy_file_range syscall and vfs helperZach Brown
Add a copy_file_range() system call for offloading copies between regular files. This gives an interface to underlying layers of the storage stack which can copy without reading and writing all the data. There are a few candidates that should support copy offloading in the nearer term: - btrfs shares extent references with its clone ioctl - NFS has patches to add a COPY command which copies on the server - SCSI has a family of XCOPY commands which copy in the device This system call avoids the complexity of also accelerating the creation of the destination file by operating on an existing destination file descriptor, not a path. Currently the high level vfs entry point limits copy offloading to files on the same mount and super (and not in the same file). This can be relaxed if we get implementations which can copy between file systems safely.

2015-03-25fs: move struct kiocb to fs.hChristoph Hellwig
struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h. Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2015-03-13fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_completeChristoph Hellwig
The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous caller through aio_complete. It turns out that basically no one was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches, and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now get rid of this case.
