Remove DECnet support from kernel

2023-06-21T13:44:10Z

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream. DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol history museum not in Linux kernel. It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well. Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling. This means that there is still an empty neighbour table for AF_DECNET. The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

mm: memcontrol: deprecate charge moving

2023-03-11T15:44:05Z

commit da34a8484d162585e22ed8c1e4114aa2f60e3567 upstream. Charge moving mode in cgroup1 allows memory to follow tasks as they migrate between cgroups. This is, and always has been, a questionable thing to do - for several reasons. First, it's expensive. Pages need to be identified, locked and isolated from various MM operations, and reassigned, one by one. Second, it's unreliable. Once pages are charged to a cgroup, there isn't always a clear owner task anymore. Cache isn't moved at all, for example. Mapped memory is moved - but if trylocking or isolating a page fails, it's arbitrarily left behind. Frequent moving between domains may leave a task's memory scattered all over the place. Third, it isn't really needed. Launcher tasks can kick off workload tasks directly in their target cgroup. Using dedicated per-workload groups allows fine-grained policy adjustments - no need to move tasks and their physical pages between control domains. The feature was never forward-ported to cgroup2, and it hasn't been missed. Despite it being a niche usecase, the maintenance overhead of supporting it is enormous. Because pages are moved while they are live and subject to various MM operations, the synchronization rules are complicated. There are lock_page_memcg() in MM and FS code, which non-cgroup people don't understand. In some cases we've been able to shift code and cgroup API calls around such that we can rely on native locking as much as possible. But that's fragile, and sometimes we need to hold MM locks for longer than we otherwise would (pte lock e.g.). Mark the feature deprecated. Hopefully we can remove it soon. And backport into -stable kernels so that people who develop against earlier kernels are warned about this deprecation as early as possible.

KVM: s390: disable migration mode when dirty tracking is disabled

2023-03-11T15:44:01Z

commit f2d3155e2a6bac44d16f04415a321e8707d895c6 upstream. Migration mode is a VM attribute which enables tracking of changes in storage attributes (PGSTE). It assumes dirty tracking is enabled on all memslots to keep a dirty bitmap of pages with changed storage attributes. When enabling migration mode, we currently check that dirty tracking is enabled for all memslots. However, userspace can disable dirty tracking without disabling migration mode. Since migration mode is pointless with dirty tracking disabled, disable migration mode whenever userspace disables dirty tracking on any slot. Also update the documentation to clarify that dirty tracking must be enabled when enabling migration mode, which is already enforced by the code in kvm_s390_vm_start_migration(). Also highlight in the documentation for KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS that it can now fail with -EINVAL when dirty tracking is disabled while migration mode is on. Move all the error codes to a table so this stays readable. To disable migration mode, slots_lock should be held, which is taken in kvm_set_memory_region() and thus held in kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(). Restructure the prepare code a bit so all the sanity checking is done before disabling migration mode. This ensures migration mode isn't disabled when some sanity check fails.
