commit 7a9cdebdcc17e426fb5287e4a82db1dfe86339b2 upstream.

Jann Horn points out that the vmacache_flush_all() function is not only
potentially expensive, it's buggy too.  It also happens to be entirely
unnecessary, because the sequence number overflow case can be avoided by
simply making the sequence number be 64-bit.  That doesn't even grow the
data structures in question, because the other adjacent fields are
already 64-bit.

So simplify the whole thing by just making the sequence number overflow
case go away entirely, which gets rid of all the complications and makes
the code faster too.  Win-win.

[ Oleg Nesterov points out that the VMACACHE_FULL_FLUSHES statistics
  also just goes away entirely with this ]

<title>seccomp: add "seccomp" syscall</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9fd2b97aa4a94fd22febaf22c7ded343ba25afd4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 48dc92b9fc3926844257316e75ba11eb5c742b2c upstream.

This adds the new "seccomp" syscall with both an "operation" and "flags"
parameter for future expansion. The third argument is a pointer value,
used with the SECCOMP_SET_MODE_FILTER operation. Currently, flags must
be 0. This is functionally equivalent to prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP, ...).

In addition to the TSYNC flag later in this patch series, there is a
non-zero chance that this syscall could be used for configuring a fixed
argument area for seccomp-tracer-aware processes to pass syscall arguments
in the future. Hence, the use of "seccomp" not simply "seccomp_add_filter"
for this syscall. Additionally, this syscall uses operation, flags,
and user pointer for arguments because strictly passing arguments via
a user pointer would mean seccomp itself would be unable to trivially
filter the seccomp syscall itself.

<title>fs: Teach path_connected to handle nfs filesystems with multiple roots.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:854ef66e18324ca2bd7da4b30c9817c0d6b46ad4</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 95dd77580ccd66a0da96e6d4696945b8cea39431 upstream.

On nfsv2 and nfsv3 the nfs server can export subsets of the same
filesystem and report the same filesystem identifier, so that the nfs
client can know they are the same filesystem.  The subsets can be from
disjoint directory trees.  The nfsv2 and nfsv3 filesystems provides no
way to find the common root of all directory trees exported form the
server with the same filesystem identifier.

The practical result is that in struct super s_root for nfs s_root is
not necessarily the root of the filesystem.  The nfs mount code sets
s_root to the root of the first subset of the nfs filesystem that the
kernel mounts.

This effects the dcache invalidation code in generic_shutdown_super
currently called shrunk_dcache_for_umount and that code for years
has gone through an additional list of dentries that might be dentry
trees that need to be freed to accomodate nfs.

When I wrote path_connected I did not realize nfs was so special, and
it's hueristic for avoiding calling is_subdir can fail.

The practical case where this fails is when there is a move of a
directory from the subtree exposed by one nfs mount to the subtree
exposed by another nfs mount.  This move can happen either locally or
remotely.  With the remote case requiring that the move directory be cached
before the move and that after the move someone walks the path
to where the move directory now exists and in so doing causes the
already cached directory to be moved in the dcache through the magic
of d_splice_alias.

If someone whose working directory is in the move directory or a
subdirectory and now starts calling .. from the initial mount of nfs
(where s_root == mnt_root), then path_connected as a heuristic will
not bother with the is_subdir check.  As s_root really is not the root
of the nfs filesystem this heuristic is wrong, and the path may
actually not be connected and path_connected can fail.

The is_subdir function might be cheap enough that we can call it
unconditionally.  Verifying that will take some benchmarking and
the result may not be the same on all kernels this fix needs
to be backported to.  So I am avoiding that for now.

Filesystems with snapshots such as nilfs and btrfs do something
similar.  But as the directory tree of the snapshots are disjoint
from one another and from the main directory tree rename won't move
things between them and this problem will not occur.

<title>usb: quirks: add control message delay for 1b1c:1b20</title>

commit cb88a0588717ba6c756cb5972d75766b273a6817 upstream.

Corsair Strafe RGB keyboard does not respond to usb control messages
sometimes and hence generates timeouts.

Commit de3af5bf259d ("usb: quirks: add delay init quirk for Corsair
Strafe RGB keyboard") tried to fix those timeouts by adding
USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT.

Unfortunately, even with this quirk timeouts of usb_control_msg()
can still be seen, but with a lower frequency (approx. 1 out of 15):

[   29.103520] usb 1-8: string descriptor 0 read error: -110
[   34.363097] usb 1-8: can't set config #1, error -110

Adding further delays to different locations where usb control
messages are issued just moves the timeouts to other locations,
e.g.:

[   35.400533] usbhid 1-8:1.0: can't add hid device: -110
[   35.401014] usbhid: probe of 1-8:1.0 failed with error -110

The only way to reliably avoid those issues is having a pause after
each usb control message. In approx. 200 boot cycles no more timeouts
were seen.

Addionaly, keep USB_QUIRK_DELAY_INIT as it turned out to be necessary
to have the delay in hub_port_connect() after hub_port_init().

The overall boot time seems not to be influenced by these additional
delays, even on fast machines and lightweight distributions.

commit 5067c0469c643512f24786990e315f9c15cc7d24 upstream.

SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA
tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use
port-&gt;scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set
-&gt;scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for
this purpose.

Without this patch, the following oops can happen because scsi-mq uses
a host-wide tag map shared among all devices with some integer tag
values &gt;= ATA_MAX_QUEUE.  These unexpectedly high tag values cause
__ata_qc_from_tag() to return NULL, which is then dereferenced in
ata_qc_new_init().

commit bf60e592a1af4d6f65dd54593250183f14360eed upstream.

In the past, fixes for specific hardware devices were implemented
in sdhci using quirks.  That approach is no longer accepted because
the growing number of quirks was starting to make the code difficult
to understand and maintain.

One alternative to quirks, is to allow drivers to override the default
mmc host operations.  This patch makes it easy to do that, and it is
needed for a subsequent bug fix, for which separate patches are
provided.

<title>nospec: Allow index argument to have const-qualified type</title>

commit b98c6a160a057d5686a8c54c79cc6c8c94a7d0c8 upstream.

The last expression in a statement expression need not be a bare
variable, quoting gcc docs

  The last thing in the compound statement should be an expression
  followed by a semicolon; the value of this subexpression serves as the
  value of the entire construct.

and we already use that in e.g. the min/max macros which end with a
ternary expression.

This way, we can allow index to have const-qualified type, which will in
some cases avoid the need for introducing a local copy of index of
non-const qualified type. That, in turn, can prevent readers not
familiar with the internals of array_index_nospec from wondering about
the seemingly redundant extra variable, and I think that's worthwhile
considering how confusing the whole _nospec business is.

The expression _i&amp;_mask has type unsigned long (since that is the type
of _mask, and the BUILD_BUG_ONs guarantee that _i will get promoted to
that), so in order not to change the type of the whole expression, add
a cast back to typeof(_i).

commit 27d4ee03078aba88c5e07dcc4917e8d01d046f38 upstream.

Introduce a helper to retrieve the current task's work struct if it is
a workqueue worker.

This allows us to fix a long-standing deadlock in several DRM drivers
wherein the -&gt;runtime_suspend callback waits for a specific worker to
finish and that worker in turn calls a function which waits for runtime
suspend to finish.  That function is invoked from multiple call sites
and waiting for runtime suspend to finish is the correct thing to do
except if it's executing in the context of the worker.
