== USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus (10 Gbps) support == USB 3.1 specification includes a new !SuperSpeedPlus protocol supporting up to 10Gbps speeds. USB 3.1 devices using the new !SuperSpeedPlus protocol are called USB 3.1 Gen2 devices (note that USB 3.1 !SuperSpeedPlus is not the same as Type-C or power delivery). This release adds support for the USB 3.1 !SuperSpeedPlus 10 Gbps speeds for USB core and xHCI host controller, meaning that a USB 3.1 mass storage connected to a USB 3.1 capable xHCI host should work with 10 Gbps speeds.

In practice, it has been shown that it's easy to find workloads which break that assumption, and the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator. This release adds a specialized kernel thread {{{oom_reaper}}} that tries to reclaim memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned by the OOM victim, under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed when its owner is killed anyway.

Protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the page table entries (pte). Instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a handful of protection mask variants. User space can then manipulate a new user-accessible, thread-local register, (PKRU) with two separate bits (Access Disable and Write Disable) for each mask. This makes possible to dynamically switch the protection bits of very large amounts of virtual memory by just manipulating a CPU register, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit. This release adds the infrastructure for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys. If a user-space application calls: {{{mmap(..., PROT_EXEC)}}} or {{{mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC)}}} (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the PKRU register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' {{{PROT_EXEC}}}: code that can be executed, but not read, which is a small security advantage (but note that malicious code can manipulate the PKRU register too). In the future, there will further work around protection keys that will offer more high level call APIs to manage protection keys.

Oiginally called PVFS, it was first developed in 1993 by Walt Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual Machine as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of parallel programs. It is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, !BigData, Streaming Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics. OrangeFS can be accessed through included system utilities, user integration libraries, MPI-IO and can be used by the Hadoop ecosystem as an alternative to the HDFS filesystem. Applications often don't require Orangefs to be mounted into the VFS, but the Orangefs kernel client allows Orangefs filesystems to be mounted as a VFS. The kernel client communicates with a userspace daemon which in turn communicates with the Orangefs server daemons that implement the file system. The server daemons (there's almost always more than one) need not be running on the same host as the kernel client. Orangefs filesystems can also be mounted with FUSE.

The motivation for this is based on the observation that although TCP is byte stream transport protocol with no concept of message boundaries, a common use case is to implement a framed application layer protocol running over TCP. Most TCP stacks offer byte stream API for applications, which places the burden of message delineation, message I/O operation atomicity, and load balancing in the application. With KCM an application can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using a datagram interface. The kernel provides necessary assurances that messages are sent and received atomically. This relieves much of the burden applications have in mapping a message based protocol onto the TCP stream. KCM also make application layer messages a unit of work in the kernel for the purposes of steerng and scheduling, which in turn allows a simpler networking model in multithreaded applications. In order to delineate message in a TCP stream for receive in KCM, the kernel implements a message parser based on BPF, which parses application layer messages and returns a message length. Nearly all binary application protocols are parseable in this manner, so KCM should be applicable across a wide range of applications.

It encrypts and authenticate all traffic in a LAN with GCM-AES-128. It can protect DHCP traffic and VLANs, prevent tampering on ethernet headers. MACsec is designed to be used with the MACsec Key Agreement protocol extension to 802.1X, which provides channel attribution and key distribution to the nodes, but can also be used with static keys getting fed manually by an administrator.

(Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking) adds support for the [[https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/BATMAN_V|V protocol]], successor of the IV protocol. The new protocol splits the OGM protocol into two subcomponents: [[https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/ELP|ELP]] (Echo Location Protocol), in charge of dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation; and a new OGM protocol, [[https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/OGMv2|OGMv2]], which implements the algorithm that spreads the metrics around the network and computes optimal paths. The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but the estimated throughput.

To circumvent this problem there are begin/end coherency markers, that forward directly to existing dma-buf device drivers vfunc hooks. Userspace can make use of those markers through the {{{DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC}}} ioctl.

OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error, but this decreases availability and is not always necessary. OCFS2 has the mount option ({{{errors=continue}}}), which returns the {{{EIO}}} error to the calling process, it doesn't remount the filesystem to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is reported in the kernel log. This release adds a very simple in-kernel inode checker that can be used to check and reset the inode. Note that this feature is intended for very small issues which may hinder day-to-day operations of a cluster filesystem by turning the filesystem read-only, it is not suited for complex checks which involve dependency of other components of the filesystem. In these cases, the offline fsck is recommended. The scope of checking/fixing is at the file level, initially only for regular files. The way this file checker is by writting the inode number, reported in dmesg, to {{{/sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/check}}}, then read the output of that file to know what kind of error it has. If you determine to fix this inode, write the inode number to {{{/sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/fix}}}, then read the file to know if the inode was able to be fixed or not. For more details see the [[https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/plain/Documentation/filesystems/ocfs2-online-filecheck.txt|documentation]] Code: [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d750c42ac265c00df3f0963a240a4440fa073603|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d56a8f32e4c662509ce50a37e78fa66c777977d3|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a849d46816fe9e11d59aae78ea95c54f640b1904|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9dde5e4f3383c3459a67ab63786ca58d645d6b5e|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a860f6eb4c6a8bb0ca6860d9472f424bad9af9cf|commit]] == Support for cgroup namespaces == This release adds support for [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/cgroup_namespaces.7.html|cgroup namespaces]], which provides a mechanism to virtualize the view of the {{{/proc/$PID/cgroup}}} file and cgroup mounts. A new clone flag, {{{CLONE_NEWCGROUP}}}, can be used with [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/clone.2.html|clone(2)]] and [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/unshare.2.html|unshare(2)]] to create a new cgroup namespace. For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools (like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy. Without cgroup namespace, the {{{/proc/$PID/cgroup}}} file shows the complete path of the cgroup of a process. In a container setup where a set of cgroups and namespaces are intended to isolate processes the {{{/proc/$PID/cgroup}}} file may leak potential system level information to the isolated processes.

With pNFS SCSI layouts, the NFS server acts as Metadata Server for pNFS, which in addition to handling all the metadata access to the NFS export, also hands out layouts to the clients so that they can directly access the underlying SCSI LUNs that are shared with the client. See [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout-05|draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout]] for more details To use pNFS SCSI layouts, the exported file system needs to support the pNFS SCSI layouts (currently just XFS), and the file system must sit on a SCSI LUN that is accessible to the clients in addition to the MDS. As of now the file system needs to sit directly on the exported LUN, striping or concatenation of LUNs on the MDS and clients is not supported yet. On a server built with {{{CONFIG_NFSD_SCSI}}}, the pNFS SCSI volume support is automatically enabled if the file system is exported using the "pnfs" option and the underlying SCSI device support persistent reservations. On the client make sure the kernel has the {{{CONFIG_PNFS_BLOCK}}} option enabled, and the file system is mounted using the NFSv4.1 protocol version ({{{mount -o vers=4.1}}}.

The {{{getcrosststamp()}}} callback and corresponding {{{PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE}}} ioctl allows the driver to perform better device/system correlation when for example cross timestamp hardware is available (modern Intel systems can do this for onboard Ethernet controllers using the ART counter; which has virtually zero latency between captures of the ART and network device clock). In this release, only the e1000e supports this interface [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6bd58f09e1d8cc6c50a824c00bf0d617919986a1|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9da0f49c8767cc0ef6101cb21156cf4380ed50dd|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ba26621e63ce6dc481d90ab9f6902e058d4ea39a|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8006c24595cab106bcb9da12d35e32e14ff492df|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2c756feb18d9ec258dbb3a3d11c47e28820690d7|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f9677e0f83080bb4186865868c359e72e1fac1ea|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/719f1aa4a67199a3c4c68a03f94e5ec44d9d5f82|commit]] * Add two new syscalls, {{{preadv2()}}} and {{{pwritev2()}}}. See the recommended LWN article: [[https://lwn.net/Articles/670231/|The return of preadv2()/pwritev2()]] and the [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/preadv.2.html|documentation]] in the Linux man pages; [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f17d8b35452cab31a70d224964cd583fb2845449|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/97be7ebe53915af504fb491fb99f064c7cf3cb09|commit]] * quotas: Add a new quotaclt,{{{ Q_GETNEXTQUOTA}}}. It is like {{{Q_GETQUOTA}}}, except that it will return quota information for the id equal to or greater than the id requested; if the requested id has no quota, it will return quota information for the next higher id which does have a quota set. This allows filesystems to do efficient iteration (today, ext4 with a hidden quota inode requires getpwent-style iterations, and for systems which have i.e. LDAP backends, this can be very slow). Also a analogue {{{Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA}}} command is added to complement {{{Q_XGETQUOTA}}} [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/926132c0257a5a8d149a6a395cc3405e55420566|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8b37524962b9c54423374717786198f5c0820a28|commit]] * Add kcov code coverage. kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is [[http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/|AFL]]. kcov has been used to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5c9a8750a6409c63a0f01d51a9024861022f6593|commit]] * CPU hotplug: Add sysfs state interface. The whole CPU hotplugging support is getting a complete revamp, for more details see this recommended LWN article: [[https://lwn.net/Articles/537562/|Rationalizing CPU hotplugging]]. [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/98f8cdce1db580b99fce823a48eea2cb2bdb261e|commit]] * Add objtool, a tool to perform compile-time validation of the stack frame, living at {{{tools/objtool}}}. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable. This is needed for future projects. Recommended LWN article: [[https://lwn.net/Articles/658333/|Compile-time stack validation]] [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b9ab5ebb14ec389bd80f66613f1fe3f8f65f2521|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/442f04c34a1a467759d024a1d2c1df0f744dcb06|commit]] * cgroup: provide {{{cgroup_no_v1=}}} kernel parameter. Testing cgroup2 can be painful with system software automatically mounting and populating all cgroup controllers in v1 mode. With this boot option it is posible to disable certain controllers in v1 mounts, so that they remain available for cgroup2 mounts. Example use: {{{cgroup_no_v1=memory,cpu}}}, or {{{cgroup_no_v1=all}}} [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/223ffb29f9723a4b485cacf6dc7e6d639fffc322|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1619b6d4fdd776b1b91bd288ad6f7e37fe183485|commit]] * Add support for cgroup namespaces (featured) [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d22025570e2ebfc68819b35c5d457e53d9337217|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/fa5ff8a1c43fc7b78353059899edf3cbedf54e9f|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a79a908fd2b080977b45bf103184b81c9d11ad07|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a0530e087e648263f81a81d62ca020f66b54bcb0|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ed82571b1a14ab2bfbede2bb2c209700495749fc|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d4021f6cd41f03017f831b3d40b0067bed54893d|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1c53753e0df1ae4d21661053459e7c024a43f1d3|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ed82571b1a14ab2bfbede2bb2c209700495749fc|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/9f6df573a4041f896cbf51f1b3743494196620a7|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/fb3c8315650f89a1993fb3ae3e74e9c7e4a1c9c0|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5e2bec7c2248ae27c5b16cd97215ae05c1d39179|commit]] * GDB scripts: add lx-cmdline and lx-version commands [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/72bf92ec29ac052e950dcb2cc7f8820a2e1f0a02|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2d061d999424efd99e30fa4115c7dced07533223|commit]] * kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address table [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/2213e9a66bb87d8344a1256b4ef568220d9587fb|commit]] * Introduce {{{__ro_after_init}}} to mark read-write memory regions that are used only during init as read-only after init ([[https://lwn.net/Articles/666550/|recommended LWN article: Post-init read-only memory]]) [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/c74ba8b3480da6ddaea17df2263ec09b869ac496|commit]] |

For per-cpu array maps, the primary use case is a histogram array of latency where bpf program computes the latency of block requests or other events and stores histogram of latency into array of 64 elements. All cpus are constantly running, so normal increment is not accurate, bpf_xadd causes cache ping-pong and this per-cpu approach allows fastest collision-free counters. For per-cpu hash maps, they are used to do accurate counters without need to use BPF_XADD instruction which turned out to be too costly for high-performance network monitoring [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/a10423b87a7eae75da79ce80a8d9475047a674ee|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/824bd0ce6c7c43a9e1e210abf124958e54d88342|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/15a07b33814d14ca817887dbea8530728dc0fbe4|commit]] * Add a new map type, {{{BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE}}}, to store stack traces. BPF programs already can walk the stack via unrolled loop of {{{bpf_probe_read()}}}s which is ok for simple analysis, but it's not efficient and limited to <30 frames. In this release the programs can collect up to {{{PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH}}} both user and kernel frames. Using stack traces as a key in a map turned out to be very useful for generating flame graphs, off-cpu graphs, waker and chain graphs [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d5a3b1f691865be576c2bffa708549b8cdccda19|commit]] * Support for access to tunnel options [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/14ca0751c96f8d3d0f52e8ed3b3236f8b34d3460|commit]] * TCP * Add RFC4898 tcpEStatsPerfDataSegsOut/In to TCP_INFO socket option.

A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSlUOBxYjPY|video]] ([[http://www.netdevconf.org/0.1/docs/hadi-salim-dj-DTCCA-slides.pdf|slides]]) is also available [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/ef6980b6becb1afd9d82a4f043749a10ae81bf14|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/084e2f6566d2a39c007ed6473f58b551a2eeefeb|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/200e10f46936d95a553414f249cefb765194b235|commit]] * flower classifier: Introduce hardware offload support [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/5b33f48842fa1e13e9c0ea8cc59c1d0df19042db|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8de2d793daf784f8f109565bcc023a6d198bad85|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/00175aec941e9c306d8a5ce930b2d91f7c04468c|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/519afb1813eab066a0c9995a08861fd0af75d5ae|commit]]; also [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e8ab563f4b2e51849a16d962c6235b81e429c0d7|(merge)]] * Add {{{MSG_BATCH flag}}} in [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sendmsg.2.html|sendmsg(2)]]'s msg_hdr flags. It is used to indicate that more messages will be sent on the socket. The stack may batch messages up if it is beneficial for transmission [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/f092276d85b82504e8a07498f4e9e0c51f06745c|commit]] * Add support for filtering link dump by master device and kind [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/dc599f76c22b0de55a2a9141dfe52e70b32a1194|commit]] * Allow {{{MSG_EOR}}} being set in each individual {{{msghdr}}} passed in [[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/sendmmsg.2.html|sendmmsg(2)]]. This allows a sendmmsg(2) to send multiple messages when using {{{SOCK_SEQPACKET}}} [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/28a94d8fb35b3a75b802f368ae6f4a9f6b0d435a|commit]] * Add dst_cache to ovs vxlan lwtunnel. In case of UDP traffic with datagram length below MTU this give about 2% performance increase when tunneling over ipv4 and about 60% when tunneling over ipv6 [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d71785ffc7e7cae3fbdc4ea8a9d05b7a1c59f7b8|commit]] * Add {{{rx_nohandler}}} stat counter, along with a sysfs statistics node, and copies the counter out via netlink as well. It counts nohandler dropped packets by core network on inactive devices [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6e7333d315a768170a59ac771297ee0551bdddbf|commit]] * Distributed Switch Architecture: Support VLAN filtering switchdev attr [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/fb2dabad69f099fb9c03a44276778911da50ba29|commit]] * Add support for Local Checksum Offload for encapsulation. For a tunneled packet, the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and the kernel can take advantage of that [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/179bc67f69b6cb53ad68cfdec5a917c2a2248355|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d75f1306d9464d535007f05e5da0afcf9e3916d9|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/21e2e7f9b5fefdbf94a107a9b24d74baa5148ef3|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/b57085019dcdd52d40ba153c6957f9e5a2f4b931|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/06f622926d0cdf923e9b33ab9f0a4d4b45983e8a|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/53936107ba2462f714bae19a754f3ebf69a11e40|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6fa79666e24d32be1b709f5269af41ed9e829e7e|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/e8ae7b000e64cf76283c72cae5e3ecd246618ef4|commit]] * Use dst_cache for vxlan device.

This release adds a new generic Netlink based interface, called "devlink". There a is need for some userspace API that would allow to expose things that are not directly related to any device class, but rather chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide stuff. Use cases:get/set of port type (Ethernet/InfiniBand), setting up port splitters - split port into multiple ones and squash again, enables usage of splitter cable, setting up shared buffers - shared among multiple ports within one chip, configuration of switch wide properties [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/bfcd3a46617209454cfc0947ab093e37fd1e84ef|commit]] * packet: Extend {{{PACKET_VNET_HDR}}} socket option support to packet sockets with memory mapped rings ({{{PACKET_RX_RING, PACKET_TX_RING}}}) [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/16cc1400456a4d5d6df9f5e7f1b2c7cb8c50404b|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/58d19b19cd99b438541eea4cdbf5c171900b25e5|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8d39b4a6b83c141acaf0b5e8f90fd5e67721ff90|commit]], [[https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1d036d25e5609ba73fee6a88db01c306b140d512|commit]] |

For this reason, a new userspace ABI has been created: the GPIO character device. This release takes small steps, so first a pure *information* ABI has been added, along with the tool "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all lines on these devices. GPIOs can now be properly discovered from userspace (but not be used from userspace).

1. Prominent features
1.1. USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus (10 Gbps) support
USB 3.1 specification includes a new SuperSpeedPlus protocol supporting up to 10Gbps speeds. USB 3.1 devices using the new SuperSpeedPlus protocol are called USB 3.1 Gen2 devices (note that USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus is not the same as Type-C or power delivery).
This release adds support for the USB 3.1 SuperSpeedPlus 10 Gbps speeds for USB core and xHCI host controller, meaning that a USB 3.1 mass storage connected to a USB 3.1 capable xHCI host should work with 10 Gbps speeds.

1.2. Improve the reliability of the Out Of Memory task killer
In previous releases, the OOM killer (which tries to kill a task to free memory) tries to kill a single task in a good hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its memory. In practice, it has been shown that it's easy to find workloads which break that assumption, and the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator. This release adds a specialized kernel thread oom_reaper that tries to reclaim memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned by the OOM victim, under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed when its owner is killed anyway.

1.3. Support for Intel memory protection keys
This release adds support for a memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: protection keys. Protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the page table entries (pte). Instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a handful of protection mask variants. User space can then manipulate a new user-accessible, thread-local register, (PKRU) with two separate bits (Access Disable and Write Disable) for each mask. This makes possible to dynamically switch the protection bits of very large amounts of virtual memory by just manipulating a CPU register, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range.
It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit. This release adds the infrastructure for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys. If a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC) or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC) (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the PKRU register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC: code that can be executed, but not read, which is a small security advantage (but note that malicious code can manipulate the PKRU register too). In the future, there will further work around protection keys that will offer more high level call APIs to manage protection keys.

1.4. OrangeFS, a new distributed file system
OrangeFS is an LGPL scale-out parallel storage system. Oiginally called PVFS, it was first developed in 1993 by Walt Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual Machine as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of parallel programs. It is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics. OrangeFS can be accessed through included system utilities, user integration libraries, MPI-IO and can be used by the Hadoop ecosystem as an alternative to the HDFS filesystem.
Applications often don't require Orangefs to be mounted into the VFS, but the Orangefs kernel client allows Orangefs filesystems to be mounted as a VFS. The kernel client communicates with a userspace daemon which in turn communicates with the Orangefs server daemons that implement the file system. The server daemons (there's almost always more than one) need not be running on the same host as the kernel client. Orangefs filesystems can also be mounted with FUSE.

1.5. Kernel Connection Multiplexor, a facility for accelerating application layer protocols
This release adds Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM), a facility that provides a message-based interface over TCP for accelerating application layer protocols. The motivation for this is based on the observation that although TCP is byte stream transport protocol with no concept of message boundaries, a common use case is to implement a framed application layer protocol running over TCP. Most TCP stacks offer byte stream API for applications, which places the burden of message delineation, message I/O operation atomicity, and load balancing in the application.
With KCM an application can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using a datagram interface. The kernel provides necessary assurances that messages are sent and received atomically. This relieves much of the burden applications have in mapping a message based protocol onto the TCP stream. KCM also make application layer messages a unit of work in the kernel for the purposes of steerng and scheduling, which in turn allows a simpler networking model in multithreaded applications. In order to delineate message in a TCP stream for receive in KCM, the kernel implements a message parser based on BPF, which parses application layer messages and returns a message length. Nearly all binary application protocols are parseable in this manner, so KCM should be applicable across a wide range of applications.

1.6. 802.1AE MAC-level encryption (MACsec)
This release adds support for MACsec IEEE 802.1AE, a standard that provides encryption over ethernet. It encrypts and authenticate all traffic in a LAN with GCM-AES-128. It can protect DHCP traffic and VLANs, prevent tampering on ethernet headers. MACsec is designed to be used with the MACsec Key Agreement protocol extension to 802.1X, which provides channel attribution and key distribution to the nodes, but can also be used with static keys getting fed manually by an administrator.

1.7. BATMAN V protocol
B.A.T.M.A.N. (Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking) adds support for the V protocol, successor of the IV protocol. The new protocol splits the OGM protocol into two subcomponents: ELP (Echo Location Protocol), in charge of dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation; and a new OGM protocol, OGMv2, which implements the algorithm that spreads the metrics around the network and computes optimal paths. The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but the estimated throughput.

1.8. dma-buf: new ioctl to manage cache coherency between CPU and GPU
Userspace might need some sort of cache coherency management e.g. when CPU and GPU domains are being accessed through dma-buf at the same time. To circumvent this problem there are begin/end coherency markers, that forward directly to existing dma-buf device drivers vfunc hooks. Userspace can make use of those markers through the DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC ioctl.

1.9. OCFS2 online inode checker
OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error, but this decreases availability and is not always necessary. OCFS2 has the mount option (errors=continue), which returns the EIO error to the calling process, it doesn't remount the filesystem to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is reported in the kernel log. This release adds a very simple in-kernel inode checker that can be used to check and reset the inode. Note that this feature is intended for very small issues which may hinder day-to-day operations of a cluster filesystem by turning the filesystem read-only, it is not suited for complex checks which involve dependency of other components of the filesystem. In these cases, the offline fsck is recommended.
The scope of checking/fixing is at the file level, initially only for regular files. The way this file checker is by writting the inode number, reported in dmesg, to /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/check, then read the output of that file to know what kind of error it has. If you determine to fix this inode, write the inode number to /sys/fs/ocfs2/devname/filecheck/fix, then read the file to know if the inode was able to be fixed or not.

1.10. Support for cgroup namespaces
This release adds support for cgroup namespaces, which provides a mechanism to virtualize the view of the /proc/$PID/cgroup file and cgroup mounts. A new clone flag, CLONE_NEWCGROUP, can be used with clone(2) and unshare(2) to create a new cgroup namespace. For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools (like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy.
Without cgroup namespace, the /proc/$PID/cgroup file shows the complete path of the cgroup of a process. In a container setup where a set of cgroups and namespaces are intended to isolate processes the /proc/$PID/cgroup file may leak potential system level information to the isolated processes.

1.11. Add support for the pNFS SCSI layout
This release adds NFSv4.1 support for parallel NFS SCSI layouts in the Linux NFS server, a variant of the block layout which uses SCSI features to offer improved fencing and device identification. With pNFS SCSI layouts, the NFS server acts as Metadata Server for pNFS, which in addition to handling all the metadata access to the NFS export, also hands out layouts to the clients so that they can directly access the underlying SCSI LUNs that are shared with the client. See draft-ietf-nfsv4-scsi-layout for more details
To use pNFS SCSI layouts, the exported file system needs to support the pNFS SCSI layouts (currently just XFS), and the file system must sit on a SCSI LUN that is accessible to the clients in addition to the MDS. As of now the file system needs to sit directly on the exported LUN, striping or concatenation of LUNs on the MDS and clients is not supported yet. On a server built with CONFIG_NFSD_SCSI, the pNFS SCSI volume support is automatically enabled if the file system is exported using the "pnfs" option and the underlying SCSI device support persistent reservations. On the client make sure the kernel has the CONFIG_PNFS_BLOCK option enabled, and the file system is mounted using the NFSv4.1 protocol version (mount -o vers=4.1.

2. Core (various)
Futex scalability improvements: remove page lock use for shared futex get_futex_key(), which speeds up 'perf bench futex hash' benchmarks by over 40% on a 60-core Westmere. This makes anon-mem shared futexes perform close to private futexes commit
Allow to restrict the default irq affinity mask with the command line option irqaffinity commit
- Process scheduler
Make scheduler statistics a runtime tunable that is disabled by default. As most distributions enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS due to its instrumentation value, this is a nice performance enhancement. The way to enable it at runtime is using the sched_schedstats sysctl, or at boot time with the schedstats kernel option commit
Add deadline scheduler bandwidth ratio to /proc/sched_debug commit
NUMA: Spread memory on nodes according to CPU and memory use commit
- timers
Add /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns. This file allows controlling processes to set the timerslack value on other processes. After setting the slack value on a bash process to 10 seconds, the command sleep 1 will last 10 seconds. This functionality is used by power/performance management software, they set the timer slack for other threads according to its policy (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (something Android does currently via out-of-tree patches) commit, commit
Support for cross clock domain timestamps, and a new PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE PTP ioctl interface: Currently, network/system cross-timestamping is performed in the PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl, which represents a best effort where the latency between the capture of system time (getnstimeofday()) and the device time (gettime64() driver callback), but at best, the precision of this cross timestamp is on the order of several microseconds due to software latencies, abd sub-microsecond precision is required for industrial control and some media applications. The getcrosststamp() callback and corresponding PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE ioctl allows the driver to perform better device/system correlation when for example cross timestamp hardware is available (modern Intel systems can do this for onboard Ethernet controllers using the ART counter; which has virtually zero latency between captures of the ART and network device clock). In this release, only the e1000e supports this interface commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Add two new syscalls, preadv2() and pwritev2(). See the recommended LWN article: The return of preadv2()/pwritev2() and the documentation in the Linux man pages; commit, commit
quotas: Add a new quotaclt, Q_GETNEXTQUOTA. It is like Q_GETQUOTA, except that it will return quota information for the id equal to or greater than the id requested; if the requested id has no quota, it will return quota information for the next higher id which does have a quota set. This allows filesystems to do efficient iteration (today, ext4 with a hidden quota inode requires getpwent-style iterations, and for systems which have i.e. LDAP backends, this can be very slow). Also a analogue Q_XGETNEXTQUOTA command is added to complement Q_XGETQUOTA commit, commit
Add kcov code coverage. kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL. kcov has been used to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months commit
CPU hotplug: Add sysfs state interface. The whole CPU hotplugging support is getting a complete revamp, for more details see this recommended LWN article: Rationalizing CPU hotplugging. commit
Add objtool, a tool to perform compile-time validation of the stack frame, living at tools/objtool. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable. This is needed for future projects. Recommended LWN article: Compile-time stack validation commit, commit
cgroup: provide cgroup_no_v1= kernel parameter. Testing cgroup2 can be painful with system software automatically mounting and populating all cgroup controllers in v1 mode. With this boot option it is posible to disable certain controllers in v1 mounts, so that they remain available for cgroup2 mounts. Example use: cgroup_no_v1=memory,cpu, or cgroup_no_v1=all commit, commit
Add support for cgroup namespaces (featured) commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

New Orangefs file system (featured) fs/orangefs
- Btrfs
Change max_inline default from 4KB to 2K. This means that only files with a size of 2KB or smaller will be inlined in the metadata by default commit
Introduce new mount option nologreplay to disable tree log replay at mount time to prevent filesystem modification and co-operate with "ro" mount option to get real readonly mount, like "norecovery" in ext and xfs. A filesystem mounted with this option cannot transition to a read-write mount via remount,rw - the filesystem must be unmounted and mounted back again if read-write access is desired commit. Also introduce mount option norecovery as an alias for nologreplay to keep "norecovery" behavior the same with other filesystems commit
Introduce new mount option usebackuproot as a replacement for recovery, since the word "recovery" is too generic and may be confusing for some users commit
Add GET_SUPPORTED_FEATURES to the control device ioctls. This is already possible using the sysfs files, this ioctl is for parity and convenience commit
This release renames some existing key types and gives them a more generalized meaning (backward compatible), in order to allow more flexible extensions by various patchsets without key type exhaustion. Two types of persistent items are added to store status data: temporary (exists to store state of a running operation like balance) and permanent (exists if a feature is used) commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit

Add kernelcore=mirror kernel boot parameter. When mirror is specified, mirrored (reliable) memory is used for non-movable allocations and remaining memory is used for Movable pages commit, commit
Allow to configure page poisoning separately of debug utilities, because it has an use as a security measure: clearing of the pages on free provides an increase in security as it helps to limit the risk of information leaks. It's not compatible with hibernation commit, commit
SLUB: support left redzone commit
zsmalloc: add new `freeable' column to pool stat, which will tell how many pages ideally can be freed by class compaction, so it will be easier to analyze zsmalloc fragmentation commit
cgroup2: report the following cgroup stats in memory.stat: kernel stack usage commit and slab usage commit
memory hotplug: Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online" which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as they're added. The default is "offline" commit
dma-buf: Add ioctls to allow userspace to flush. The userspace might need some sort of cache coherency management e.g. when CPU and GPU domains are being accessed through dma-buf at the same time. To circumvent this problem, this release adds begin/end coherency markers that userspace can make use of through the DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC ioctl commit
tool/vm/page-types: add commands for memory cgroup dumping and filtering commit, support swap entry commit

libnvdimm: Clear poison command support. ACPI 6.1 introduces the ability to send "clear error" commands to the ACPI0012:00 device representing the root of an "nvdimm bus". Similar to relocating a bad block on a disk, this support clears media errors in response to a write commit, commit, commit
nvme: Expose the cntlid in sysfs, because for NVMe over Fabrics it can be used by systemd/udev to create link to the device commit
- Device Mapper
dm cache: make the 'mq' policy an alias for 'smq'. smq seems to be performing better than the old mq policy in all situations, as well as using a quarter of the memory. The tunables that were present for the old mq are faked, and have no effect. mq hould be considered deprecated now commit
Add 'dm_mq_nr_hw_queues' (Number of hardware queues for request-based dm-mq devices) and 'dm_mq_queue_depth' (Queue depth for request-based dm-mq devices) module params commit
Add 'dm_numa_node' module parameter, which allows to control which NUMA node the memory for DM device structures is allocated from commit
Add support for runtime changes in the number of hardware queues, something that may happen with resource provisioning commit
Enable polling support by default (a feature added in Linux 4.4. Note that this will only have an affect on driver that supply a poll function, which currently only includes nvme commit

8. Tracing and perf tool
- perf report/top
Hierarchy histogram mode for perf top and perf report, showing multiple levels, one per --sort entry. Example, # perf top --hierarchy -s '{comm,dso},sym' commit, commit, commit
Add 'L' hotkey to dynamically set the percent threshold for histogram entries and callchains, i.e. dynamicly do what the --percent-limit command line option to 'top' and 'report' does
perf mem: Add -e option for perf mem record command, to be able to specify memory event directly (for example, perf mem record -e ldlat-loads true). Also, allow to list the available events via perf mem record -e list commit
- perf record
Add perf record --all-user/--all-kernel options, so that one can tell that all the events in the command line should be restricted to the user or kernel levels, i.e.: perf record -e cycles:u,instructions:u is equivalent to perf record --all-user -e cycles,instructions commit
Make perf record collect CPU cache info in the perf.data file header. This information will be used in perf c2c and eventually in perf diff to allow, for instance running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show the hardware difference. It's displayed under header info with -I option, perf report --header-only -I commit
Improved support for Java, using the JVMTI agent library to do jitdumps that then will be inserted in synthesized PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events via perf inject --jit pointed to synthesized ELF files stored in ~/.debug and keyed with build-ids, to allow symbol resolution and even annotation with source line info.

Introduce support for the bpf-output event. BPF programs can output data to a perf ring buffer through that new type of perf event, and perf can create events of that type, and a perf user can use the following cmdline to receive output data from BPF programs perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ -e ./test_bpf_output.c map:channel.event=evt/ ls / commit
Print content of bpf-output event in perf trace commit

- BPF
Add per-cpu maps, for hash (BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH) and array maps (BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY), for performance reasons. For per-cpu array maps, the primary use case is a histogram array of latency where bpf program computes the latency of block requests or other events and stores histogram of latency into array of 64 elements. All cpus are constantly running, so normal increment is not accurate, bpf_xadd causes cache ping-pong and this per-cpu approach allows fastest collision-free counters. For per-cpu hash maps, they are used to do accurate counters without need to use BPF_XADD instruction which turned out to be too costly for high-performance network monitoring commit, commit, commit
Add a new map type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_STACK_TRACE, to store stack traces. BPF programs already can walk the stack via unrolled loop of bpf_probe_read()s which is ok for simple analysis, but it's not efficient and limited to <30 frames. In this release the programs can collect up to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH both user and kernel frames. Using stack traces as a key in a map turned out to be very useful for generating flame graphs, off-cpu graphs, waker and chain graphs commit
Support for access to tunnel options commit
- TCP
Add RFC4898 tcpEStatsPerfDataSegsOut/In to TCP_INFO socket option. They count segments sent/received containing a positive length data segment (that includes retransmission segments carrying data) commit
Add tcpi_min_rtt and tcpi_notsent_bytes to TCP_INFO socket option. tcpi_min_rtt reports the minimal rtt observed by TCP stack for the flow, in usec unit. tcpi_notsent_bytes reports the amount of bytes in the write queue that were not yet sent commit
fastopen: accept data/FIN present in SYNACK message, as per RFC 7413 (TCP Fast Open) 4.2.2, which states that the SYNACK message MAY include data and/or FIN commit
Faster SO_REUSEPORT for TCP. In the previous release, two performance improvements were done for the SO_REUSEPORT socket option for UDP sockets. In this release, these performance improvements are extended to TCP: faster lookup of a target socket when choosing a socket from the group of sockets, and also expose the ability to use a BPF program when selecting a socket from a reuseport group commit, commit
IPv4: Add namespaces support for the following sysctls ip_default_ttl commit, tcp_reordering commit, tcp_syn_retries commit, tcp_synack_retries commit, tcp_syncookies commit, tcp_fin_timeout commit, tcp_notsent_lowat commit, tcp_orphan_retries commit, tcp_retries1 commit, tcp_retries2 commit, ip_dynaddr commit, ipfrag_max_dist commit, ip_early_demux commit
- IPv6
Add sysctl drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast (default), equivalent to the IPv4 one commit
Add sysctl drop_unsolicited_na (default off) to drop all unsolicited neighbor advertisements, for example if there's a known good NA proxy on the network and such frames need not be used (or in the case of 802.11, must not be used to prevent attacks) commit
Add sysctl keep_addr_on_down that keeps all IPv6 addresses on an interface down event. If set, static global addresses with no expiration time are not flushed commit
- Wireless
Add Radio Resource Management (RRM) nl80211 feature flag. Today, the supplicant will add the RRM capabilities Information Element in the association request only if Quiet period is supported, but there are other RRM features that are not related to Quiet (e.g. neighbor report). This solution adds a global RRM capability, that tells user space that it can request RRM capabilities without any specific feature support in the kernel commit
Add support for PBSS (Personal Basic Service Set). PBSS is a new BSS type for DMG networks. It is similar to infrastructure BSS, having an AP-like entity called PCP (PBSS Control Point), but it has few differences. PBSS support is mandatory for 11ad devices commit
- ethtool
Add a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API. It provides support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds support for larger link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length), and removes ethtool_cmd deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API commit
Introduce a new ioctl ETHTOOL_PERQUEUE for per queue parameters setting commit
Implement sub command ETHTOOL_GCOALESCE for ioctl ETHTOOL_PERQUEUE. It introduces an interface to get coalesce of each masked queue from device driver commit

Add sysctl drop_gratuitous_arp (default off) to drop gratuitous ARP packets (for example if there's a known good ARP proxy on the network and such frames need not be used , or in the case of 802.11, must not be used to prevent attacks) commit
Add sysctl drop_unicast_in_l2_multicast (default off) to drop unicast IP packets encapsulated in L2 multicast (or broadcast) frames (the so-called hole-196 attack). This behavior (for multicast) is actually a SHOULD in RFC 1122, but is disabled by default for compatibility reasons commit
Export ip fragment sysctl to unprivileged users. Now that all the ip fragmentation related sysctls are namespaceified there is no reason to hide them anymore from "root" users inside containers commit
Add dst cache support for gre lwtunnels, in case of UDP traffic with datagram length below MTU this gives about 4% performance increase commit
traffic control: Add support for distributing the Linux Traffic Control (tc) filter-action subsystem packet processing across disparate nodes. The nodes could be a mix and match of containers, VMs, bare metal machines or ASICs. A new tc Inter-Forwarding Engine (IFE) action is introduced based on ForCES WG Inter-FE LFB work. This paper goes into both the implementation as well as the usage of the IFE tc action. A video (slides) is also available commit, commit, commit

Introduce devlink infrastructure. This release adds a new generic Netlink based interface, called "devlink". There a is need for some userspace API that would allow to expose things that are not directly related to any device class, but rather chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide stuff. Use cases:get/set of port type (Ethernet/InfiniBand), setting up port splitters - split port into multiple ones and squash again, enables usage of splitter cable, setting up shared buffers - shared among multiple ports within one chip, configuration of switch wide properties commit

New driver adds support for Logical Domains vSwitch (ldmvsw). The ldmvsw driver operates on Oracle systems running SPARC Linux in a Logical Domains environment (typically in the control domain). The ldmvsw driver is very similar in function to the existing sunvnet, it creates a network interface for each "vsw-port" node found in the Machine Description (MD) of a service domain. These nodes correspond to ports on a vswitch created by the logical domains manager. The created network interface(s) can be used by bridge/vswitch software (such as the Linux bridge or Open vSwitch) to provide guest domain(s) with network interconnectivity or connectivity to a physical network commit

12.23. General Purpose I/O (gpio)
- The GPIO stack has been changed to make the GPIO drivers real devices. For this reason, a new userspace ABI has been created: the GPIO character device. This release takes small steps, so first a pure *information* ABI has been added, along with the tool "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all lines on these devices. GPIOs can now be properly discovered from userspace (but not be used from userspace). The old sysfs ABI is still available opt-in (and can be used in parallel) and will be maintained around for the foreseeable future, but it will not be extended
tools/gpio: create GPIO tools, adds a single example program (lsgpio) to list the GPIOs commit
