<content type='text'>
commit 3b1cc9b9622a022208ec95b1259b05bbdf712eb7 upstream.

iovcnt is declared as a signed integer in both the userspace API and
as a local variable in mic_virtio.c. The while() loop in mic_virtio.c
iterates until the local variable iovcnt reaches the value 0. If
userspace passes e.g. INT_MIN as iovcnt field, this loop then appears
to depend on an undefined behavior (signed underflow) to complete.
The fix is to use unsigned integers in both the userspace API and
the local variable.

This issue was reported @ https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/10/10

<title>compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for asm_volatile_goto() unconditional</title>

commit a9f180345f5378ac87d80ed0bea55ba421d83859 upstream.

I started noticing problems with KVM guest destruction on Linux
3.12+, where guest memory wasn't being cleaned up. I bisected it
down to the commit introducing the new 'asm goto'-based atomics,
and found this quirk was later applied to those.

Unfortunately, even with GCC 4.8.2 (which ostensibly fixed the
known 'asm goto' bug) I am still getting some kind of
miscompilation. If I enable the asm_volatile_goto quirk for my
compiler, KVM guests are destroyed correctly and the memory is
cleaned up.

So make the quirk unconditional for now, until bug is found
and fixed.

commit 3d4b81eda2211f32886e2978daf6f39885042fc4 upstream.

This reverts commit 35773dac5f862cb1c82ea151eba3e2f6de51ec3e.  It's a
hack that caused regressions in the usb-storage and userspace USB
drivers that use usbfs and libusb.  Commit 70cabb7d992f "xhci 1.0: Limit
arbitrarily-aligned scatter gather." should fix the issues seen with the
ax88179_178a driver on xHCI 1.0 hosts, without causing regressions.

commit e28bab4828354583bb66ac09021ca69b341a7db4 upstream.

During the initial VMBUS connect phase, starting with WS2012 R2, we should
specify the VPCU in the guest that should receive the notification. Fix this
issue. This fix is required to properly connect to the host in the kexeced
kernel.

commit 17ead6c85c3d0ef57a14d1373f1f1cee2ce60ea8 upstream.

nfs41_wake_and_assign_slot() relies on the task-&gt;tk_msg.rpc_argp and
task-&gt;tk_msg.rpc_resp always pointing to the session sequence arguments.

nfs4_proc_open_confirm tries to pull a fast one by reusing the open
sequence structure, thus causing corruption of the NFSv4 slot table.

commit b3084f4db3aeb991c507ca774337c7e7893ed04f upstream.

This patch fix the below crash

NIP [c00000000004cee4] .__hash_page_thp+0x2a4/0x440
LR [c0000000000439ac] .hash_page+0x18c/0x5e0

On ppc64 we use the pgtable for storing the hpte slot information and
store address to the pgtable at a constant offset (PTRS_PER_PMD) from
pmd. On mremap, when we switch the pmd, we need to withdraw and deposit
the pgtable again, so that we find the pgtable at PTRS_PER_PMD offset
from new pmd.

We also want to move the withdraw and deposit before the set_pmd so
that, when page fault find the pmd as trans huge we can be sure that
pgtable can be located at the offset.

<content type='text'>
commit 5259a06ef97068b710f45d092a587e8d740f750f upstream.

This patch fixes a percpu_ref_put race for se_lun-&gt;lun_ref in
transport_lun_remove_cmd() where -&gt;lun_ref could end up being
put more than once per command via different target completion
and fabric release contexts.

It adds a cmpxchg() for se_cmd-&gt;lun_ref_active to ensure that
percpu_ref_put() is only ever called once per se_cmd.

This bug was manifesting itself as a LUN shutdown regression
bug in &gt;= v3.13 code, where percpu_ref_kill() would end up
hanging indefinately due to the incorrect percpu_ref count.

(Change se_cmd-&gt;lun_ref_active from bool -&gt; int to force at
 least a 4-byte cmpxchg with MIPS ll/sc ins. - Fengguang)

commit 54a43d54988a3731d644fdeb7a1d6f46b4ac64c7 upstream.

Add a working sysctl to enable/disable automatic numa memory balancing
at runtime.

This allows us to track down performance problems with this feature and
is generally a good idea.

This was possible earlier through debugfs, but only with special
debugging options set.  Also fix the boot message.

<content type='text'>
commit 6f6b5d1ec56acdeab0503d2b823f6f88a0af493e upstream.

This patch changes percpu_ida_alloc() + callers to accept task state
bitmask for prepare_to_wait() for code like target/iscsi that needs
it for interruptible sleep, that is provided in a subsequent patch.

It now expects TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE when the caller is able to sleep
waiting for a new tag, or TASK_RUNNING when the caller cannot sleep,
and is forced to return a negative value when no tags are available.

v2 changes:
  - Include blk-mq + tcm_fc + vhost/scsi + target/iscsi changes
  - Drop signal_pending_state() call
v3 changes:
  - Only call prepare_to_wait() + finish_wait() when != TASK_RUNNING

<content type='text'>
commit aad560b7f63b495f48a7232fd086c5913a676e6f upstream.

At IO preparation we calculate the max pages at each device and
allocate a BIO per device of that size. The calculation was wrong
on some unaligned corner cases offset/length combination and would
make prepare return with -ENOMEM. This would be bad for pnfs-objects
that would in that case IO through MDS. And fatal for exofs were it
would fail writes with EIO.

Fix it by doing the proper math, that will work in all cases. (I
ran a test with all possible offset/length combinations this time
round).

Also when reading we do not need to allocate for the parity units
since we jump over them.

Also lower the max_io_length to take into account the parity pages
so not to allocate BIOs bigger than PAGE_SIZE
