__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well
as GFP_ATOMIC requests.
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

Preallocations are common in the VMA code to avoid allocating under
certain locking conditions. The preallocations must also cover the
worst-case scenario. Removing the GFP_ZERO flag from the
kmem_cache_alloc() (and bulk variant) calls will reduce the amount of time
spent zeroing memory that may not be used. Only zero out the necessary
area to keep track of the allocations in the maple state. Zero the entire
node prior to using it in the tree.
This required internal changes to node counting on allocation, so the test
code is also updated.
This restores some micro-benchmark performance: up to +9% in mmtests mmap1

On the x86-64 architecture even a failing cmpxchg grants exclusive
access to the cacheline, making it preferable to retry the failed op
immediately instead of stalling with the pause instruction.
To illustrate the impact, below are benchmark results obtained by
running various will-it-scale tests on top of the 6.2-rc3 kernel and
Cascade Lake (2 sockets * 24 cores * 2 threads) CPU.
All results in ops/s. Note there is some variance in re-runs, but the
code is consistently faster when contention is present.

proc stock no-pause

access2 ("Same file access"):
proc stock patched patched
+nopause
24 2378041 2005501 5370335 (-15% / +125%)
That is, fixing the problems in access itself *reduces* scalability
after the cacheline ping-pong only happens in lockref with the pause
instruction.
Note that fstat and access benchmarks are not currently integrated into
will-it-scale, but interested parties can find them in pull requests to
said project.
Code at hand has a rather tortured history. First modification showed
up in commit d472d9d98b ("lockref: Relax in cmpxchg loop"), written
with Itanium in mind. Later it got patched up to use an arch-dependent
macro to stop doing it on s390 where it caused a significant regression.
Said macro had undergone revisions and was ultimately eliminated later,
going back to cpu_relax.
While I intended to only remove cpu_relax for x86-64, I got the
following comment from Linus:
I would actually prefer just removing it entirely and see if
somebody else hollers. You have the numbers to prove it hurts on
real hardware, and I don't think we have any numbers to the
contrary.
So I think it's better to trust the numbers and remove it as a
failure, than say "let's just remove it on x86-64 and leave
everybody else with the potentially broken code"
Additionally, Will Deacon (maintainer of the arm64 port, one of the
architectures previously benchmarked):
So, from the arm64 side of the fence, I'm perfectly happy just
removing the cpu_relax() calls from lockref.
As such, come back full circle in history and whack it altogether.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass
in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be
used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem
from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject,
objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver
core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of
paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so
marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object
rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml
with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version
we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of
subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.
What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.
When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.
This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:

Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
"iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.
It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.
We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
device specific:
- Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
- Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
- Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
- Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
- Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
- Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
- PRI support with faults resolved in userspace
Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.
As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
which is currently VFIO and VDPA"
