commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

[ Upstream commit 5c3b74a92aa285a3df722bf6329ba7ccf70346d6 ]

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.

This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:

if (table-&gt;ents[index] != newval)
        table-&gt;ents[index] = newval;

We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.

<content type='text'>
commit 0fa81b304a7973a499f844176ca031109487dd31 upstream.

The NCM specification defines two formats of transfer blocks: with 16-bit
fields (NTB-16) and with 32-bit fields (NTB-32). Currently only NTB-16 is
implemented.

This patch adds the support of NTB-32. The motivation behind this is that
some devices such as E5785 or E5885 from the current generation of Huawei
LTE routers do not support NTB-16. The previous generations of Huawei
devices are also use NTB-32 by default.

Also this patch enables NTB-32 by default for Huawei devices.

During the 2019 ValdikSS made five attempts to contact Huawei to add the
NTB-16 support to their router firmware, but they were unsuccessful.

<title>power: supply: bq27xxx: Fix poll_interval handling and races on remove</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c9615474fb0a41cfad658d78db3c9ec70912969</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c00bc80462afc7963f449d7f21d896d2f629cacc upstream.

Before this patch bq27xxx_battery_teardown() was setting poll_interval = 0
to avoid bq27xxx_battery_update() requeuing the delayed_work item.

There are 2 problems with this:

1. If the driver is unbound through sysfs, rather then the module being
   rmmod-ed, this changes poll_interval unexpectedly

2. This is racy, after it being set poll_interval could be changed
   before bq27xxx_battery_update() checks it through
   /sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval

Fix this by added a removed attribute to struct bq27xxx_device_info and
using that instead of setting poll_interval to 0.

There also is another poll_interval related race on remove(), writing
/sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval will requeue
the delayed_work item for all devices on the bq27xxx_battery_devices
list and the device being removed was only removed from that list
after cancelling the delayed_work item.

Fix this by moving the removal from the bq27xxx_battery_devices list
to before cancelling the delayed_work item.

<title>USB: core: Add routines for endpoint checks in old drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:42ca9589cd8dfeb6e88e8f4fc62584ab6460e476</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 13890626501ffda22b18213ddaf7930473da5792 upstream.

Many of the older USB drivers in the Linux USB stack were written
based simply on a vendor's device specification.  They use the
endpoint information in the spec and assume these endpoints will
always be present, with the properties listed, in any device matching
the given vendor and product IDs.

While that may have been true back then, with spoofing and fuzzing it
is not true any more.  More and more we are finding that those old
drivers need to perform at least a minimum of checking before they try
to use any endpoint other than ep0.

To make this checking as simple as possible, we now add a couple of
utility routines to the USB core.  usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and
usb_check_int_endpoints() take an interface pointer together with a
list of endpoint addresses (numbers and directions).  They check that
the interface's current alternate setting includes endpoints with
those addresses and that each of these endpoints has the right type:
bulk or interrupt, respectively.

Although we already have usb_find_common_endpoints() and related
routines meant for a similar purpose, they are not well suited for
this kind of checking.  Those routines find endpoints of various
kinds, but only one (either the first or the last) of each kind, and
they don't verify that the endpoints' addresses agree with what the
caller expects.

In theory the new routines could be more general: They could take a
particular altsetting as their argument instead of always using the
interface's current altsetting.  In practice I think this won't matter
too much; multiple altsettings tend to be used for transferring media
(audio or visual) over isochronous endpoints, not bulk or interrupt.
Drivers for such devices will generally require more sophisticated
checking than these simplistic routines provide.

<id>urn:sha1:b129e17e08f6509fd0da3cfe489b55da90e50a33</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 85e3e7fbbb720b9897fba9a99659e31cbd1c082e upstream.

[This patch implements subset of original commit 85e3e7fbbb72 ("printk:
remove NMI tracking") where commit 1007843a9190 ("mm/page_alloc: fix
potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock") depends on, for
commit 3d36424b3b58 ("mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between
build_all_zonelists and page allocation") was backported to stable.]

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.

There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:

    arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
    arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
    kernel/trace/trace.c

For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.

For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

<title>tty: Prevent writing chars during tcsetattr TCSADRAIN/FLUSH</title>

<id>urn:sha1:93577c9365cc39b21a442c925365b4b751160877</id>
<content type='text'>
If userspace races tcsetattr() with a write, the drained condition
might not be guaranteed by the kernel. There is a race window after
checking Tx is empty before tty_set_termios() takes termios_rwsem for
write. During that race window, more characters can be queued by a
racing writer.

Any ongoing transmission might produce garbage during HW's
-&gt;set_termios() call. The intent of TCSADRAIN/FLUSH seems to be
preventing such a character corruption. If those flags are set, take
tty's write lock to stop any writer before performing the lower layer
Tx empty check and wait for the pending characters to be sent (if any).

The initial wait for all-writers-done must be placed outside of tty's
write lock to avoid deadlock which makes it impossible to use
tty_wait_until_sent(). The write lock is retried if a racing write is
detected.

[ Upstream commit 691d0b782066a6eeeecbfceb7910a8f6184e6105 ]

Currently call_bind_status places a hard limit of 3 to the number of
retries on EACCES error. This limit was done to prevent NLM unlock
requests from being hang forever when the server keeps returning garbage.
However this change causes problem for cases when NLM service takes
longer than 9 seconds to register with the port mapper after a restart.

This patch removes this hard coded limit and let the RPC handles
the retry based on the standard hard/soft task semantics.
