A pNFS client auto-negotiates a lot of features (minorversion level,
pNFS layout type, etc.). This is convenient, but makes certain kinds of
failures hard for a user to detect.
For example, if the client falls back on 4.0, or falls back to MDS IO
because the user didn't connect to the right iscsi disks before
mounting, the only symptoms may be reduced performance, which may not be
noticed till long after the actual failure, and may be difficult for a
user to diagnose.
However, such "failures" may also be perfectly normal in some cases, so
we don't want to spam the system logs with them.
One approach would be to put some more information into
/proc/self/mountstats.

The eCryptfs inode get, initialization, and dentry interposition code

after doing things like a mkdir in the lower filesystem and the other

to happen at different times, depending on which type of dentry
interposing is being done.

it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.

kcopyd_get_pages is only called from run_pages_job, which is only
called from process_jobs called from do_work.
kcopyd_put_pages is called from client_alloc_pages (which is initialization

There's a possible theoretical deadlock in dm-kcopyd because multiple
allocations from the same mempool are required to finish a request.
Avoid this by preallocating sub jobs.
There is a mempool of 512 entries. Each request requires up to 9
entries from the mempool. If we have at least 57 concurrent requests
running, the mempool may overflow and mempool allocations may start
blocking until another entry is freed to the mempool. Because the same
thread is used to free entries to the mempool and allocate entries from
the mempool, this may result in a deadlock.
This patch changes it so that one mempool entry contains all 9 "struct
kcopyd_job" required to fulfill the whole request. The allocation is
done only once in dm_kcopyd_copy and no further mempool allocations are
done during request processing.
If dm_kcopyd_copy is not run in the completion thread, this
implementation is deadlock-free.
MIN_JOBS needs reducing accordingly and we've chosen to reduce it
further to 8.

Because we are allowing devices with zero size e.g. an offline multipath
device as in commit 2cd54d9bed
("dm: allow offline devices") there needs to be an additional check
to ensure devices are initialised. Some block devices, like a loop
device without a backing file, exist but have no request function.
Reproducer is trivial: dm-mirror on unbound loop device
(no backing file on loop devices)
dmsetup create x --table "0 8 mirror core 2 8 sync 2 /dev/loop0 0 /dev/loop1 0"
and mirror resync will immediatelly cause OOps.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.
But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().
Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.
After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

In UP kernel, acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 and

Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.
I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 95.65% pm_qos_request
menu_select
cpuidle_idle_call
- cpu_idle
99.98% start_secondary
A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.

Cpuidle menu governor is using u32 as a temporary datatype for storing
nanosecond values which wrap around at 4.294 seconds. This causes errors
in predicted sleep times resulting in higher than should be C state
selection and increased power consumption. This also breaks cpuidle
state residency statistics.
