RDS: establish connection for legitimate remote RDMA message
The first message to a remote node should prompt a new
connection even if it is RDMA operation via CMSG. So that
means before CMSG parsing, the connection needs to be
established. Commit 3d6e0fed8edc ("rds_rdma: rds_sendmsg
should return EAGAIN if connection not setup")' tried to
address that issue as part of bug 20232581.
But it inadvertently broke the QoS policy evaluation. Basically
QoS has opposite requirement where it needs information from
CMSG to evaluate if the message is legitimate to be sent over
the wire. It basically needs to know how the total payload
which should include the actual payload and additional rdma
bytes. It then evaluates total payload with the systems QoS
thresholds to determine if the message is legitimate to be
sent.
Patch addresses these two opposite requirement by fetching
only the rdma bytes information for QoS evaluation and let
the full CMSG parsing happen after the connection is
initiated. Since the connection establishment is asynchronous,
we make sure the map failure because of unavailable
connection reach to the user by appropriate error code.
RDS: Add support for per socket SO_TIMESTAMP for incoming messages
The SO_TIMESTAMP generates time stamp for each incoming RDS message
using the wall time. Result is returned via recv_msg() in a control
message as timeval (usec resolution).
User app can enable it by using SO_TIMESTAMP setsocketopt() at
SOL_SOCKET level. CMSG data of cmsg type SO_TIMESTAMP contains the
time stamp in struct timeval format.
If the RDS user application requests notification of RDMA send
completions, there is a possibility that RDS_CMSG_RDMA_SEND_STATUS
will be delivered out-of-order.
This can happen if RDS drops sending ACK after it received an explicit
ACK. In this case, the rds message ended up in reverse order in the
list.

Now that we have file locking helpers that can deal with an inode
instead of a filp, we can change the NFSv4 locking code to use that
instead.
This should fix the case where we have a filp that is closed while flock
or OFD locks are set on it, and the task is signaled so that it doesn't
wait for the LOCKU reply to come in before the filp is freed. At that
point we can end up with a use-after-free with the current code, which
relies on dereferencing the fl_file in the lock request.

In order to fix a use-after-free in NFS, we need to be able to remove
locks from an inode after the filp associated with them may have already
been freed. flock_lock_file already only dereferences the filp to get to
the inode, so just change it so the callers do that.
All of the callers already pass in a lock request that has the fl_file
set properly, so we don't need to pass it in individually. With that
change it now only dereferences the filp to get to the inode, so just
push that out to the callers.

The server rdma_read_chunk_lcl() and rdma_read_chunk_frmr() functions
were not taking into account the initial page_offset when determining
the rdma read length. This resulted in a read who's starting address
and length exceeded the base/bounds of the frmr.
The server gets an async error from the rdma device and kills the
connection, and the client then reconnects and resends. This repeats
indefinitely, and the application hangs.
Most work loads don't tickle this bug apparently, but one test hit it
every time: building the linux kernel on a 16 core node with 'make -j

6910fa1 ("arm64: enable PTE type bit in the mask for pte_modify") fixes
a problem whereby a large block of PROT_NONE mapped memory is
incorrectly mapped as block descriptors when mprotect is called.
Unfortunately, a subtle bug was introduced by this fix to the THP logic.
If one mmaps a large block of memory, then faults it such that it is
collapsed into THPs; resulting calls to mprotect on this area of memory
will lead to incorrect table descriptors being written instead of block
descriptors. This is because pmd_modify calls pte_modify which is now
allowed to modify the type of the page table entry.
This patch reverts commit 6910fa16dbe142f6a0fd0fd7c249f9883ff7fc8a, and
fixes the problem it was trying to address by adjusting PAGE_NONE to
represent a table entry. Thus no change in pte type is required when
moving from PROT_NONE to a different protection.

ACPI SSCN/FMCN methods were originally added because then the platform can
provide the most accurate HCNT/LCNT values to the driver. However, this
seems not to be true for Dell Inspiron 7348 where using these causes the
touchpad to fail in boot:
i2c_hid i2c-DLL0675:00: failed to retrieve report from device.
i2c_designware INT3433:00: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration
i2c_hid i2c-DLL0675:00: failed to retrieve report from device.
i2c_designware INT3433:00: controller timed out
The values received from ACPI are (in fast mode):
HCNT: 72
LCNT: 160
this translates to following timings (input clock is 100MHz on Broadwell):
tHIGH: 720 ns (spec min 600 ns)
tLOW: 1600 ns (spec min 1300 ns)
Bus period: 2920 ns (assuming 300 ns tf and tr)
Bus speed: 342.5 kHz
Both tHIGH and tLOW are within the I2C specification.
The calculated values when ACPI parameters are not used are (in fast mode):
HCNT: 87
LCNT: 159
which translates to:
tHIGH: 870 ns (spec min 600 ns)
tLOW: 1590 ns (spec min 1300 ns)
Bus period 3060 ns (assuming 300 ns tf and tr)
Bus speed 326.8 kHz
These values are also within the I2C specification.
Since both ACPI and calculated values meet the I2C specification timing
requirements it is hard to say why the touchpad does not function properly
with the ACPI values except that the bus speed is higher in this case (but
still well below the max 400kHz).
Solve this by adding DMI quirk to the driver that disables using ACPI
parameters on this particulare machine.

With atomic drivers we need to make sure that (at least in general)
property reads hold the right locks. But the legacy dpms property is
special and can be read locklessly. Since userspace loves to just
randomly look at that all the time (like with "status") do that.
To make it clear that we play tricks use the READ_ONCE compiler
barrier (and also for paranoia).
Note that there's not really anything bad going on since even with the
new atomic paths we eventually end up not chasing any pointers (and
hence possibly freed memory and other fun stuff). The locking WARNING
has been added in
Now send with MSG_PEEK can return data from multiple SKBs.
Unfortunately we take into account the peek offset for each skb,
that is wrong. We need to apply the peek offset only once.
In addition, the peek offset should be used only if MSG_PEEK is set.

AF_UNIX sockets now return multiple skbs from recv() when MSG_PEEK flag
is set.
This is referenced in kernel bugzilla #12323 @
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12323
As described both in the BZ and lkml thread @
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/8/444 calling recv() with MSG_PEEK on an
AF_UNIX socket only reads a single skb, where the desired effect is
to return as much skb data has been queued, until hitting the recv
buffer size (whichever comes first).
The modified MSG_PEEK path will now move to the next skb in the tree
and jump to the again: label, rather than following the natural loop
structure. This requires duplicating some of the loop head actions.
This was tested using the python socketpair python code attached to
the bugzilla issue.

netlink_dump() allocates skb based on the calculated min_dump_alloc or
a per socket max_recvmsg_len.
min_alloc_size is maximum space required for any single netdev
attributes as calculated by rtnl_calcit().
max_recvmsg_len tracks the user provided buffer to netlink_recvmsg.
It is capped at 16KiB.
The intention is to avoid small allocations and to minimize the number
of calls required to obtain dump information for all net devices.
netlink_dump packs as many small messages as could fit within an skb
that was sized for the largest single netdev information. The actual
space available within an skb is larger than what is requested. It could
be much larger and up to near 2x with align to next power of 2 approach.
Allowing netlink_dump to use all the space available within the
allocated skb increases the buffer size a user has to provide to avoid
truncaion (i.e. MSG_TRUNG flag set).
It was observed that with many VLANs configured on at least one netdev,
a larger buffer of near 64KiB was necessary to avoid "Message truncated"
error in "ip link" or "bridge [-c[ompressvlans]] vlan show" when
min_alloc_size was only little over 32KiB.
This patch trims skb to allocated size in order to allow the user to
avoid truncation with more reasonable buffer size.

In commit e3eea1eb47a ("tipc: clean up handling of message priorities")
we introduced a field in the packet header for keeping track of the
priority of fragments, since this value is not present in the specified
protocol header. Since the value so far only is used at the transmitting
end of the link, we have not yet officially defined it as part of the
protocol.
Unfortunately, the field we use for keeping this value, bits 13-15 in
in word 5, has turned out to be a poor choice; it is already used by the
broadcast protocol for carrying the 'network id' field of the sending
node. Since packet fragments also need to be transported across the
broadcast protocol, the risk of conflict is obvious, and we see this
happen when we use network identities larger than 2^13-1. This has
escaped our testing because we have so far only been using small network
id values.
We now move this field to bits 0-2 in word 9, a field that is guaranteed
to be unused by all involved protocols.

When sockets have a native eBPF program attached through
setsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, ...), and then try to
dump these over getsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_GET_FILTER, ...),
the following panic appears:
The underlying issue is the very same as in commit b382c0865600
("sock, diag: fix panic in sock_diag_put_filterinfo"), that is,
native eBPF programs don't store an original program since this
is only needed in cBPF ones.
However, sk_get_filter() wasn't updated to test for this at the
time when eBPF could be attached. Just throw an error to the user
to indicate that eBPF cannot be dumped over this interface.
That way, it can also be known that a program _is_ attached (as
opposed to just return 0), and a different (future) method needs
to be consulted for a dump.

For UDP or other protocols, this does not work, because the sk_filter()

so ethtool would end up printing junk at the end of the register dump

Commit 3adeb2566b9b ("MIPS: Loongson: Improve LEFI firmware interface")
made the number of UARTs dynamic if LEFI_FIRMWARE_INTERFACE is configured.
Unfortunately, it did not initialize the number of UARTs if
LEFI_FIRMWARE_INTERFACE is not configured. As a result, the Fulong2e
system has no console.
Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next
larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping. In kernels
3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size.
However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via
kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG().
The mapping table in the latest kernel is like:
index = {0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, n}
size = {0, 96, 192, 8, 16, 32, 64, 2^n}
The mapping table before 3.10 is like this:
index = {0 , 1 , 2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, n}
size = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)}
The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows:
(1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
&& DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150",
and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE
kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node))
(2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8.
(3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size
= PAGE_SIZE".
(4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and
"flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered.
(5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to
"cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result
here may be NULL while kernel bootup.
(6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the
BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem):
This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes
the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary
small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in

The kernel may delay interrupts for a long time which can result in timers
being delayed. If this occurs the intel_pstate driver will crash with a
divide by zero error:
The duration between reads of the APERF and MPERF registers overflowed a s32
sized integer in intel_pstate_get_scaled_busy()'s call to div_fp(). The result
is that int_tofp(duration_us) == 0, and the kernel attempts to divide by 0.
While the kernel shouldn't be delaying for a long time, it can and does
happen and the intel_pstate driver should not panic in this situation. This
patch changes the div_fp() function to use div64_s64() to allow for "long"
division. This will avoid the overflow condition on long delays.

There seems to be two problems causing this issue.
First, in drivers/tty/n_tty.c, __receive_buf() stores the data and
updates ldata->commit_head using smp_store_release() and then checks
the wait queue using waitqueue_active(). However, since there is no
memory barrier, __receive_buf() could return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and at the same time, n_tty_read() could
start to wait in wait_woken() as in the following chart.
__receive_buf() n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
/* Memory operations issued after the
RELEASE may be completed before the
RELEASE operation has completed */
add_wait_queue(&tty->read_wait, &wait);
...
if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
ldata->read_head);
...
timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second problem is that n_tty_read() also lacks a memory barrier
call and could also cause __receive_buf() to return without calling
wake_up_interactive_poll(), and n_tty_read() to wait in wait_woken()
as in the chart below.
__receive_buf() n_tty_read()
------------------------------------------------------------------------
spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
/* from add_wait_queue() */
...
if (!input_available_p(tty, 0)) {
/* Memory operations issued after the
RELEASE may be completed before the
RELEASE operation has completed */
smp_store_release(&ldata->commit_head,
ldata->read_head);
if (waitqueue_active(&tty->read_wait))
__add_wait_queue(q, wait);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock,flags);
/* from add_wait_queue() */
...
timeout = wait_woken(&wait,
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, timeout);
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are also other places in drivers/tty/n_tty.c which have similar
calls to waitqueue_active(), so instead of adding many memory barrier
calls, this patch simply removes the call to waitqueue_active(),
leaving just wake_up*() behind.
This fixes both problems because, even though the memory access before
or after the spinlocks in both wake_up*() and add_wait_queue() can
sneak into the critical section, it cannot go past it and the critical
section assures that they will be serialized (please see "INTER-CPU
ACQUIRING BARRIER EFFECTS" in Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for a
better explanation). Moreover, the resulting code is much simpler.
Latency measurement using a ping-pong test over a pty doesn't show any
visible performance drop.
The cleaner policy doesn't make use of the per cache block hint space in
the metadata (unlike the other policies). When switching from the
cleaner policy to mq or smq a NULL pointer crash (in dm_tm_new_block)
was observed. The crash was caused by bugs in dm-cache-metadata.c
when trying to skip creation of the hint btree.
The minimal fix is to change hint size for the cleaner policy to 4 bytes
(only hint size supported).

possible cause of the behavior we've been seeing: commit 766c4cbfacd8"
Al Viro says:
"What happens is that 766c4cbfacd8 got the things subtly wrong.
We used to treat d_is_negative() after lookup_fast() as "fall with
ENOENT". That was wrong - checking ->d_flags outside of ->d_seq
protection is unreliable and failing with hard error on what should've
fallen back to non-RCU pathname resolution is a bug.
Unfortunately, we'd pulled the test too far up and ran afoul of
another kind of staleness. The dentry might have been absolutely
stable from the RCU point of view (and we might be on UP, etc), but
stale from the remote fs point of view. If ->d_revalidate() returns
"it's actually stale", dentry gets thrown away and the original code
wouldn't even have looked at its ->d_flags.
What we need is to check ->d_flags where 766c4cbfacd8 does (prior to
->d_seq validation) but only use the result in cases where we do not
discard this dentry outright"
On the OMAP AM3517 platform the uart4_ick gets registered
twice, causing any power management to /dev/ttyO3 to fail
when trying to wake the device up.
This solves the following oops:
[] Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1028) at 0xfa09e008
[] PC is at serial_omap_pm+0x48/0x15c
[] LR is at _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x30/0x5c
Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).
Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).
The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer. The union layer is on device

added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created. In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory. This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.
