Jonathan Corbet b4658cdd8c lib/string_helpers: fix some kerneldoc warnings
Due to some sad limitations in how kerneldoc comments are parsed, the
documentation in lib/string_helpers.c generates these warnings:

  lib/string_helpers.c:236: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
  lib/string_helpers.c:241: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

  lib/string_helpers.c:451: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
  lib/string_helpers.c:474: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.

Rework the comments to obtain something like the desired result.

J. Bruce Fields ea053e164c nfsd: escape high characters in binary data
I'm exposing some information about NFS clients in pseudofiles.  I
expect to eventually have simple tools to help read those pseudofiles.

But it's also helpful if the raw files are human-readable to the extent
possible.  It aids debugging and makes them usable on systems that don't
have the latest nfs-utils.

A minor challenge there is opaque client-generated protocol objects like
state owners and client identifiers.  Some clients generate those to
include handy information in plain ascii.  But they may also include
arbitrary byte sequences.

I think the simplest approach is to limit to isprint(c) && isascii(c)
and escape everything else.

That means you can just cat the file and get something that looks OK.
Also, I'm trying to keep these files legal YAML, which requires them to
UTF-8, and this is a simple way to guarantee that.

Michal Hocko 0ee931c4e3 mm: treewide: remove GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag
GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE.  It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation.  As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag.  How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.

The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory.  So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.

I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification.  I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring.  This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.

I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse.  Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL.  Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.

I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.

This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic.  It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users.  The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers.  So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

James Bottomley 564b026fbd string_helpers: fix precision loss for some inputs
It was noticed that we lose precision in the final calculation for some
inputs.  The most egregious example is size=3000 blk_size=1900 in units
of 10 should yield 5.70 MB but in fact yields 3.00 MB (oops).

This is because the current algorithm doesn't correctly account for
all the remainders in the logarithms.  Fix this by doing a correct
calculation in the remainders based on napier's algorithm.

Additionally, now we have the correct result, we have to account for
arithmetic rounding because we're printing 3 digits of precision.  This
means that if the fourth digit is five or greater, we have to round up,
so add a section to ensure correct rounding.  Finally account for all
possible inputs correctly, including zero for block size.

Vitaly Kuznetsov 62bef58a55 lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()
Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.:
 string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
 string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to
divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end
up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations:

For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case:
   ...
   remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1
   remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512
   ...
   size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0
   size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0

The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was
noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning
collides with device removal.  This is probably a separate issue worth
fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from
infinite looping.

Rasmus Villemoes 41416f2330 lib/string_helpers.c: change semantics of string_escape_mem
The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its
current users, vsnprintf().  If that is to honour its contract, it must
know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and
string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a
large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and
that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf).

So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like:
Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination
buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst
it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination.
It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to
append a '\0' if desired.  Also, we must output partial escape sequences,
otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause
printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever
they previously contained.

This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used
to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem();
since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would
happily write to dst.  For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and
then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops.

In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for
getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small.  We
also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref)
if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for
kasprintf("%pE") to work.

In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics.
Someone should definitely double-check this.

In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it
should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

Rasmus Villemoes 3aeddc7d66 lib/string_helpers.c: refactor string_escape_mem
When printf is given the format specifier %pE, it needs a way of obtaining
the total output size that would be generated if the buffer was large
enough, and string_escape_mem doesn't easily provide that.  This is a
refactorization of string_escape_mem in preparation of changing its
external API to provide that information.

The somewhat ugly early returns and subsequent seemingly redundant
conditionals are to make the following patch touch as little as possible
in string_helpers.c while still preserving the current behaviour of never
outputting partial escape sequences.  That behaviour must also change for
%pE to work as one expects from every other printf specifier.

James Bottomley b9f28d8635 sd, mmc, virtio_blk, string_helpers: fix block size units
The current string_get_size() overflows when the device size goes over
2^64 bytes because the string helper routine computes the suffix from
the size in bytes.  However, the entirety of Linux thinks in terms of
blocks, not bytes, so this will artificially induce an overflow on very
large devices.  Fix this by making the function string_get_size() take
blocks and the block size instead of bytes.  This should allow us to
keep working until the current SCSI standard overflows.

Also fix virtio_blk and mmc (both of which were also artificially
multiplying by the block size to pass a byte side to string_get_size()).

The mathematics of this is pretty simple:  we're taking a product of
size in blocks (S) and block size (B) and trying to re-express this in
exponential form: S*B = R*N^E (where N, the exponent is either 1000 or
1024) and R < N.  Mathematically, S = RS*N^ES and B=RB*N^EB, so if RS*RB
< N it's easy to see that S*B = RS*RB*N^(ES+EB).  However, if RS*BS > N,
we can see that this can be re-expressed as RS*BS = R*N (where R =
RS*BS/N < N) so the whole exponent becomes R*N^(ES+EB+1)

to be below 1000 (or 1024), it certainly fits in u32.  So both remainder

wasn't the right thing to use for _unsigned_ long long anyway), and we can
replace a do_div with an ordinary 32/32 bit division.

Also there's no need to include and test for the NULL sentinel; once we
reach "E" size is at most 18.  [The test is also wrong; it should be
units_str[units][i+1]; if we've reached NULL we're already doomed.]

Paul Gortmaker 8bc3bcc93a lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible
For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include.  Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

H. Peter Anvin a8659597bf [SCSI] lib: string_get_size(): don't hang on zero; no decimals on exact
We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size().
Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small
enough to be exact.  Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent
with standard SI style guidelines.

- If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding
  step.  This prints out all small values including zero as integers,
  without decimals.
- Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit,
  consistent with standard SI practice.
- Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10.
- Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a
  gcc warning when compiling the code out-of-kernel for testing.

James Bottomley 3c9f3681d0 [SCSI] lib: add generic helper to print sizes rounded to the correct SI range
This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI)
or 2^10 (Binary) units.  It rounds up to three significant figures and
can be used for either memory or storage capacities.

Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and
Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128
bit computers ...
