Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big Staging and IIO driver patches for 4.16-rc1. There is the normal amount of new IIO drivers added, like all releases. The networking IPX and the ncpfs filesystem are moved into the staging tree, as they are on their way out of the kernel due to lack of use anymore. The visorbus subsystem finall has started moving out of the staging tree to the "real" part of the kernel, and the most and fsl-mc codebases are almost ready to move out, that will probably happen for 4.17-rc1 if all goes well. Other than that, there is a bunch of license header cleanups in the tree, along with the normal amount of coding style churn that we all know and love for this codebase. I also got frustrated at the Meltdown/Spectre mess and took it out on the dgnc tty driver, deleting huge chunks of it that were never even being used. Full details of everything is in the shortlog. All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'staging-4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: (627 commits) staging: rtlwifi: remove redundant initialization of 'cfg_cmd' staging: rtl8723bs: remove a couple of redundant initializations staging: comedi: reformat lines to 80 chars or less staging: lustre: separate a connection destroy from free struct kib_conn Staging: rtl8723bs: Use !x instead of NULL comparison Staging: rtl8723bs: Remove dead code Staging: rtl8723bs: Change names to conform to the kernel code staging: ccree: Fix missing blank line after declaration staging: rtl8188eu: remove redundant initialization of 'pwrcfgcmd' staging: rtlwifi: remove unused RTLHALMAC_ST and RTLPHYDM_ST staging: fbtft: remove unused FB_TFT_SSD1325 kconfig staging: comedi: dt2811: remove redundant initialization of 'ns' staging: wilc1000: fix alignments to match open parenthesis staging: wilc1000: removed unnecessary defined enums typedef staging: wilc1000: remove unnecessary use of parentheses staging: rtl8192u: remove redundant initialization of 'timeout' staging: sm750fb: fix CamelCase for dispSet var staging: lustre: lnet/selftest: fix compile error on UP build staging: rtl8723bs: hal_com_phycfg: Remove unneeded semicolons staging: rts5208: Fix "seg_no" calculation in reset_ms_card() ...

Merge branch 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq

2018-01-30T22:45:39Z

Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online. This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't 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" * 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues workqueue: separate out init_rescuer()

staging: lustre: lnet: convert selftest to use workqueues

2018-01-15T14:44:08Z

Instead of the cfs workitem library, use workqueues. As lnet wants to provide a cpu mask of allowed cpus, it needs to be a WQ_UNBOUND work queue so that tasks can run on cpus other than where they were submitted. This patch also exported apply_workqueue_attrs() which is a documented part of the workqueue API, that isn't currently exported. lustre needs it to allow workqueue thread to be limited to a subset of CPUs. Acked-by: Tejun Heo (for export of apply_workqueue_attrs) Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

workqueue: avoid hard lockups in show_workqueue_state()

2018-01-12T19:39:49Z

show_workqueue_state() can print out a lot of messages while being in atomic context, e.g. sysrq-t -> show_workqueue_state(). If the console device is slow it may end up triggering NMI hard lockup watchdog. Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.5+

workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues

2018-01-08T13:38:37Z

Workqueues can be created early during boot before workqueue subsystem in fully online - work items are queued waiting for later full initialization. However, early init wasn't supported for WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues causing unnecessary annoyances for a subset of users. Expand early init support to include WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues.

workqueue: separate out init_rescuer()

2018-01-08T13:38:32Z

Separate out init_rescuer() from __alloc_workqueue_key() to prepare for early init support for WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Paul McKenney

workqueue: remove unneeded kallsyms include

2017-12-11T15:15:43Z

workqueue/hotplug: remove the workaround in rebind_workers()

Since the cpu/hotplug refactoring, DOWN_FAILED is never called without preceding DOWN_PREPARE making the workaround unnecessary. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo
