When ring buffer returns an error indicating retry, storvsc may not
return a proper error code to SCSI when bounce buffer is not used.
This has introduced I/O freeze on RAID running atop storvsc devices.
This patch fixes it by always returning a proper error code.

When we have an rport disconnect we race during rport deletion and
re-connection resulting in a panic. When we do this, we call
fc_remote_port_del() just before we do the calls to re-establish the
session with the FC transport with fc_remote_port_add() and then
fc_remote_port_rolechg().
If we remove the call to fc_remote_port_del() before re-establishing
the connection this prevents the race. This patch has resolved this
for multiple customers via test kernels.
Suggested by Chad Dupuis, implemented and tested by Laurence Oberman.

This fixes random memory corruption triggered when all three of the
following are true:
* scsi-mq enabled
* T10 Protection Information (DIF) enabled
* SCSI host with sg_tablesize > SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS (128)
The symptoms of this bug are unpredictable memory corruption, BUG()s,
oopses, lockups, etc., any of which may appear to be completely
unrelated to the root cause.

Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
"Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.
This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:
- A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time. This
is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
the hardware can do this with a single register write. Both
consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
to driving individual lines where needed. Implemented for the
MPC8xxx driver initially
- Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
simultaneously
- Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip. This
moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
global, static GPIO numberspace
- New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs
- New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid
- Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794
- Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
more strict with the advent of combined device properties
- Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver
- A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

Users have no business installing custom code segments into the
GDT, and segments that are not present but are otherwise valid
are a historical source of interesting attacks.
For completeness, block attempts to set the L bit. (Prior to
this patch, the L bit would have been silently dropped.)
This is an ABI break. I've checked glibc, musl, and Wine, and
none of them look like they'll have any trouble.
Note to stable maintainers: this is a hardening patch that fixes
no known bugs. Given the possibility of ABI issues, this
probably shouldn't be backported quickly.

There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.
So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).
To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.
So, to make restore work we need to make sure that
a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value
Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.
Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.
What do you think?

the function graph x86 prepare_ftrace_return call but forgot to
update the call from entry_32 (i386 version). This patch corrects
that.
2) I was tracing some code and found that the sched_switch tracepoint
was showing tasks in the INTERRUPTIBLE state as RUNNING. This was
due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu
variable. The tracepoint logic was made to use the tasks
saved_preempt_count which could hold a stale "PREEMPT_ACTIVE",
instead of using the current preempt_count() call"

integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the
running kernel. This really doesn't have much impact on the kernel,

destroy_list is used to track marks which still need waiting for srcu
period end before they can be freed. However by the time mark is added to
destroy_list it isn't in group's list of marks anymore and thus we can
reuse fsnotify_mark->g_list for queueing into destroy_list. This saves
two pointers for each fsnotify_mark.

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system. System call fallocate() modifies files. Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events. The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.
This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().
The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds. It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g. when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.
This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.
It resembles the logic of the write() system call.
When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.
Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.
Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.
The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.
So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.

kmemleak will add allocations as objects to a pool. The memory allocated
for each object in this pool is periodically searched for pointers to
other allocated objects. This only works for memory that is mapped into
the kernel's virtual address space, which happens not to be the case for
most CMA regions.
Furthermore, CMA regions are typically used to store data transferred to
or from a device and therefore don't contain pointers to other objects.
Without this, the kernel crashes on the first execution of the
scan_gray_list() because it tries to access highmem. Perhaps a more
appropriate fix would be to reject any object that can't map to a kernel
virtual address?

If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free
objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see
get_any_partial). While checking other nodes we respect cpuset
constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check.
As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some
pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set.
However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations,
so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case.
Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to
conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have
free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list
(GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries
to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While
iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which
hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound
to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free
slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may
allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a
result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes,
which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a
very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully.
To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree
with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly
experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as
reported by /proc/slabinfo.
To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

This is a highly-contrived scenario. But, a single shmdt() call can be
induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments. Example code
is here:
http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c
The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we
encounter and then stick to it. Decline to unmap anything not from the
same file and thus the same segment.
I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice
are pretty darn small.
Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch.

SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.
And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense. Therefore the logic can be removed.
The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
that expect that the value exists.
Notes:
1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
MSGMNI as necessary.
Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).
2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
to control latency vs. throughput:
If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

a)
SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory. For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.
Therefore: Increase the sysv sem limits so that all known applications
will work with these defaults.
b)
With regards to the maximum supported:
Some of the specified hard limits are not correct anymore, therefore the
patch updates the documentation.
- SEMMNI must stay below IPCMNI, which is 32768.
As for SHMMAX: Stay a bit below this limit.
- SEMMSL was limited to 8k, to ensure that the kmalloc for the kernel array
was limited to 16 kB (order=2)
This doesn't apply anymore:
- the allocation size isn't sizeof(short)*nsems anymore.
- ipc_alloc falls back to vmalloc
- SEMOPM should stay below 1000, to limit the kmalloc in semtimedop() to an
order=1 allocation.
Therefore: Leave it at 500 (order=0 allocation).
Note:
If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set the
values as necessary.
Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).

When I fixed bugs in the sem_lock() logic, I was more conservative than
necessary. Therefore it is safe to replace the smp_mb() with smp_rmb().
And: With smp_rmb(), semop() syscalls are up to 10% faster.
The race we must protect against is:
sem->lock is free
sma->complex_count = 0
sma->sem_perm.lock held by thread B
thread A:
A: spin_lock(&sem->lock)
B: sma->complex_count++; (now 1)
B: spin_unlock(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: spin_is_locked(&sma->sem_perm.lock);
A: XXXXX memory barrier
A: if (sma->complex_count == 0)
Thread A must read the increased complex_count value, i.e. the read must
not be reordered with the read of sem_perm.lock done by spin_is_locked().
Since it's about ordering of reads, smp_rmb() is sufficient.
