commit b3b33d3c43bbe0177d70653f4e889c78cc37f097 upstream.

Variable populated, which is a member of struct pcpu_chunk, is used as a
unit of size of unsigned long.
However, size of populated is miscounted. So, I fix this minor part.

Fixes: 8ab16c43ea79 ("percpu: change the number of pages marked in the first_chunk pop bitmap")

The pgprot argument to __vmalloc is always PAGE_KERNEL now, so remove it.

<title>percpu: make pcpu_alloc() aware of current gfp context</title>

<id>urn:sha1:28307d938fb2e4056ed4c982c06d1503d7719813</id>
<content type='text'>
Since 5.7-rc1, on btrfs we have a percpu counter initialization for
which we always pass a GFP_KERNEL gfp_t argument (this happens since
commit 2992df73268f78 ("btrfs: Implement DREW lock")).

That is safe in some contextes but not on others where allowing fs
reclaim could lead to a deadlock because we are either holding some
btrfs lock needed for a transaction commit or holding a btrfs
transaction handle open.  Because of that we surround the call to the
function that initializes the percpu counter with a NOFS context using
memalloc_nofs_save() (this is done at btrfs_init_fs_root()).

However it turns out that this is not enough to prevent a possible
deadlock because percpu_alloc() determines if it is in an atomic context
by looking exclusively at the gfp flags passed to it (GFP_KERNEL in this
case) and it is not aware that a NOFS context is set.

Because percpu_alloc() thinks it is in a non atomic context it locks the
pcpu_alloc_mutex.  This can result in a btrfs deadlock when
pcpu_balance_workfn() is running, has acquired that mutex and is waiting
for reclaim, while the btrfs task that called percpu_counter_init() (and
therefore percpu_alloc()) is holding either the btrfs commit_root
semaphore or a transaction handle (done fs/btrfs/backref.c:
iterate_extent_inodes()), which prevents reclaim from finishing as an
attempt to commit the current btrfs transaction will deadlock.

Lockdep reports this issue with the following trace:

This could be fixed by making btrfs pass GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_KERNEL
to percpu_counter_init() in contextes where it is not reclaim safe,
however that type of approach is discouraged since
memalloc_[nofs|noio]_save() were introduced.  Therefore this change
makes pcpu_alloc() look up into an existing nofs/noio context before
deciding whether it is in an atomic context or not.

Bitmaps are fairly popular for their space efficiency, but we don't have
generic iterators available. Make percpu's bitmap region iterators
available to everyone.

<title>percpu: Use struct_size() helper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:14d3761245551bdfc516abd8214a9f76bfd51435</id>
<content type='text'>
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct pcpu_alloc_info {
	...
        struct pcpu_group_info  groups[];
};

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes.

So, replace the following form:

sizeof(*ai) + nr_groups * sizeof(ai-&gt;groups[0])

with:

struct_size(ai, groups, nr_groups)

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

error and doesn't return any error, hence it can be defined to

Pull percpu updates from Dennis Zhou:

 - scan hint update which helps address performance issues with heavily
   fragmented blocks

 - lockdep fix when freeing an allocation causes balance work to be
   scheduled

* 'for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dennis/percpu:
  percpu: remove spurious lock dependency between percpu and sched
  percpu: use chunk scan_hint to skip some scanning
  percpu: convert chunk hints to be based on pcpu_block_md
  percpu: make pcpu_block_md generic
  percpu: use block scan_hint to only scan forward
  percpu: remember largest area skipped during allocation
  percpu: add block level scan_hint
  percpu: set PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE
  percpu: relegate chunks unusable when failing small allocations
  percpu: manage chunks based on contig_bits instead of free_bytes
  percpu: introduce helper to determine if two regions overlap
  percpu: do not search past bitmap when allocating an area
  percpu: update free path with correct new free region
