As Linus points out:
The inode_cmp_iversion{+raw}() functions are pure and utter crap.
Why?
You say that they return 0/negative/positive, but they do so in a
completely broken manner. They return that ternary value as the
sequence number difference in a 's64', which means that if you
actually care about that ternary value, and do the *sane* thing that
the kernel-doc of the function implies is the right thing, you would
do
int cmp = inode_cmp_iversion(inode, old);
if (cmp < 0 ...
and as a result you get code that looks sane, but that doesn't
actually *WORK* right.
Since none of the callers actually care about the ternary value here,
convert the inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} functions to just return a boolean
value (false for matching, true for non-matching).
This matches the existing use of these functions just fine, and makes it
simple to convert them to return a ternary value in the future if we
grow callers that need it.
With this change we can also reimplement inode_cmp_iversion in a simpler
way using inode_peek_iversion.

In this round, we've followed up to support some generic features such as
cgroup, block reservation, linking fscrypt_ops, delivering write_hints,
and some ioctls. And, we could fix some corner cases in terms of power-cut
recovery and subtle deadlocks.
Enhancement:
- bitmap operations to handle NAT blocks
- readahead to improve readdir speed
- switch to use fscrypt_*
- apply write hints for direct IO
- add reserve_root=%u,resuid=%u,resgid=%u to reserve blocks for root/uid/gid
- modify b_avail and b_free to consider root reserved blocks
- support cgroup writeback
- support FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR for fibmap
- add F2FS_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS to pre-cache extents
- add F2FS_IOC_{GET/SET}_PIN_FILE to pin LBAs for data blocks
- support inode creation time
Bug fix:
- sysfile-based quota operations
- memory footprint accounting
- allow to write data on partial preallocation case
- fix deadlock case on fallocate
- fix to handle fill_super errors
- fix missing inode updates of fsync'ed file
- recover renamed file which was fsycn'ed before
- drop inmemory pages in corner error case
- keep last_disk_size correctly
- recover missing i_inline flags during roll-forward
Various clean-up patches were added as well.

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
"This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
variables used to hold the future return value'.
Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
in this series - it's large enough as it is.
Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
arch-independent, but POLL### are not.
The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
work on all architectures.
As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
architectures"

depended upon early during boot.
Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with
WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the
flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too.
This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need
this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it"

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.
Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.
This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
copy any unitializied fields to userspace.
The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
assignments are arch independent.
The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.
The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
struct siginfo is built correctly.
The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.
Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.
The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have
been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,
and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards
to siginfo generation.
It is a lot but with the unification you can of siginfo you can
already see the code reduction in the kernel"

'perf record' session, such as when doing build-id processing, or
when specifically requesting that that info be recorded, use that
in 'perf report --time', that also got support for percent slices

I.e. now it is possible to ask for the samples in the 10%-20% time
slice of a perf.data file (Jin Yao)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timer departement presents:
- A rather large rework of the hrtimer infrastructure which
introduces softirq based hrtimers to replace the spread of
hrtimer/tasklet combos which force the actual callback execution
into softirq context. The approach is completely different from the
initial implementation which you cursed at 10 years ago rightfully.
The softirq based timers have their own queues and there is no
nasty indirection and list reshuffling in the hard interrupt
anymore. This comes with conversion of some of the hrtimer/tasklet
users, the rest and the final removal of that horrible interface
will come towards the end of the merge window or go through the
relevant maintainer trees.
Note: The top commit merged the last minute bugfix for the 10 years
old CPU hotplug bug as I wanted to make sure that I fatfinger the
merge conflict resolution myself.
- The overhaul of the STM32 clocksource/clockevents driver
- A new driver for the Spreadtrum SC9860 timer
- A new driver dor the Actions Semi S700 timer

Merge tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux
Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
"This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.
It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
field was checked.
Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.
This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
metadata updates when no one is looking at it.
In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
DAX, with 4k writes):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8
A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

Johannes.
- Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
Weiping.
- Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
it's a stacked device.
- Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
- Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
quiescing.
- BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
- Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
- null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
- Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
me.

A very busy release for regmap, all fairly specialist stuff but useful:
- Support for disabling locking from Bartosz Golaszewski, allowing
users that handle their own locking to save some overhead.
- Support for hwspinlocks in syscons in MFD from Baolin Wang, this is
going through the regmap tree since the first users turned up some
some cases that needed interface tweaks with 0 being used as a syscon
identifier.
- Support for devices with no read or write flag from Andrew F. Davis.
- Basic support for devices on SoundWire buses from Vinod Koul.

specially highlighted.
First, we have converted the MMC block device from using the legacy blk
interface into using the modern blkmq interface. Not only do we get all the
nice effects from using blkmq, but it also means that new fresh nice code
replaces old rusty code. Great news to everybody that cares about MMC/SD!
It should also be noted that converting to blkmq has not been trivial, mostly
because of that we have been carrying too much of MMC specific optimizations
for the I/O request path, rather than striving to move these to the generic blk
layer. Hopefully we won't be doing that mistake, ever again.
Special thanks to Adrian Hunter (Intel) and to Linus Walleij (Linaro), who both
have been working on this for quite some time!
Second, on top of the blkmq deployment, we have enabled full support the eMMC
command queuing feature, introduced in the eMMC v.5.1 spec. This also includes
an implementation of a host driver library, supporting the corresponding CQHCI
HW. Ideally, those controllers that supports CQHCI should only need some minor
adaptations to make this play.
So far the sdhci-pci driver for the Intel GLKs and the sdhci-of-arasan driver
used on Rockchip RK3399, have enabled support for eMMC command queueing.
Worth to highlight is also that, implementing the eMMC command queuing support
has been a collaborative effort, as several people from Codeaurora, Rockchip,
Intel and Linaro have been involved. However, the work has been driven by
Adrian Hunter (Intel).
In some shadow of the above, here are the rest of the highlights:
MMC core:
- Don't remove non-removable cards during system suspend
- Add a slot-gpio helper to check capability of GPIO WP detection
MMC host:
- sdhci: Cleanups and improvements of some wakeup related code
- sdhci-pci-arasan: New variant to support Arasan PCI HW with integrated phy
- sdhci-acpi: Avoid broken UHS transfer modes on Intel CHT
- sdhci-acpi: Add support for ACPI HID of AMD Controller with HS400
- sdhci_f_sdh30: Add ACPI support
- sdhci-esdhc-imx: Enable/disable clock at runtime suspend/resume
- sdhci-of-esdhc: A few minor fixes
- mmci: Add support for new STM32 variant
- renesas_sdhi: enable R-Car D3 (r8a77995) support
- tmio/renesas_sdhi: Re-structuring, cleanups and modernizations

- Rework core functions to avoid duplicating generic checks in
NAND/OneNAND sub-layers
- Update the MAINTAINERS entry to reflect the fact that MTD
maintainers now use a single git tree
MTD driver changes:
- CFI: use macros instead of inline functions to limit stack usage
and make KASAN happy
NAND core changes:
- Fix NAND_CMD_NONE handling in nand_command[_lp]() hooks
- Introduce the ->exec_op() infrastructure
- Rework NAND buffers handling
- Fix ECC requirements for K9F4G08U0D
- Fix nand_do_read_oob() to return the number of bitflips
- Mark K9F1G08U0E as not supporting subpage writes
NAND driver changes:
- MTK: Rework the driver to support new IP versions
- OMAP OneNAND: Full rework to use new APIs (libgpio, dmaengine) and
fix DT support
- Marvell: Add a new driver to replace the pxa3xx one
SPI NOR core changes:
- Add support to new ISSI and Cypress/Spansion memory parts.
- Fix support of Micron memories by checking error bits in the FSR.
- Fix update of block-protection bits by reading back the SR.
- Restore the internal state of the SPI flash memory when removing
the device.
SPI NOR driver changes:
- Maintenance for Freescale, Intel and Metiatek drivers.
- Add support of the direct access mode for the Cadence QSPI
controller"
