Merge branch 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are... - percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed. This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for writeback IOs. Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c ("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator") just now. - percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on 64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects directly. - The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging. There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged" * 'for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (33 commits) percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode percpu_ref: make INIT_ATOMIC and switch_to_atomic() sticky percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags percpu_ref: decouple switching to percpu mode and reinit percpu_ref: decouple switching to atomic mode and killing percpu_ref: add PCPU_REF_DEAD percpu_ref: rename things to prepare for decoupling percpu/atomic mode switch percpu_ref: replace pcpu_ prefix with percpu_ percpu_ref: minor code and comment updates percpu_ref: relocate percpu_ref_reinit() Revert "blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe" Revert "percpu: free percpu allocation info for uniprocessor system" percpu-refcount: make percpu_ref based on longs instead of ints percpu-refcount: improve WARN messages percpu: fix locking regression in the failure path of pcpu_alloc() percpu-refcount: add @gfp to percpu_ref_init() proportions: add @gfp to init functions percpu_counter: add @gfp to percpu_counter_init() percpu_counter: make percpu_counters_lock irq-safe ...
