commit 15bfd21fbc5d35834b9ea383dc458a1f0c9e3434 upstream.

A device may have boundary restrictions where the number of sectors
between boundaries exceeds its max transfer size. In this case, we need
to cap the max size to the smaller of the two limits.

<title>slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:804a0db743e01f8d613051497c9c5f6ff03b40c6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d50d82faa0c964e31f7a946ba8aba7c715ca7ab0 upstream.

In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

Running device-mapper-test-suite with:

  dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /commit_failure_causes_fallback/

triggered:

<title>IB/hfi1: Optimize kthread pointer locking when queuing CQ entries</title>

<content type='text'>
commit af8aab71370a692eaf7e7969ba5b1a455ac20113 upstream.

All threads queuing CQ entries on different CQs are unnecessarily
synchronized by a spin lock to check if the CQ kthread worker hasn't
been destroyed before queuing an CQ entry.

The lock used in 6efaf10f163d ("IB/rdmavt: Avoid queuing work into a
destroyed cq kthread worker") is a device global lock and will have
poor performance at scale as completions are entered from a large
number of CPUs.

Convert to use RCU where the read side of RCU is rvt_cq_enter() to
determine that the worker is alive prior to triggering the
completion event.
Apply write side RCU semantics in rvt_driver_cq_init() and
rvt_cq_exit().

Fixes: 6efaf10f163d ("IB/rdmavt: Avoid queuing work into a destroyed cq kthread worker")

commit 2026d35741f2c3ece73c11eb7e4a15d7c2df9ebe upstream.

The function __builtin_expect returns long type (see the gcc
documentation), and so do macros likely and unlikely. Unfortunatelly, when
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is selected, the macros likely and
unlikely expand to __branch_check__ and __branch_check__ truncates the
long type to int. This unintended truncation may cause bugs in various
kernel code (we found a bug in dm-writecache because of it), so it's
better to fix __branch_check__ to return long.

<title>net: in virtio_net_hdr only add VLAN_HLEN to csum_start if payload holds vlan</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fd3a88625844907151737fc3b4201676effa6d27 ]

Tun, tap, virtio, packet and uml vector all use struct virtio_net_hdr
to communicate packet metadata to userspace.

For skbuffs with vlan, the first two return the packet as it may have
existed on the wire, inserting the VLAN tag in the user buffer.  Then
virtio_net_hdr.csum_start needs to be adjusted by VLAN_HLEN bytes.

Commit f09e2249c4f5 ("macvtap: restore vlan header on user read")
added this feature to macvtap. Commit 3ce9b20f1971 ("macvtap: Fix
csum_start when VLAN tags are present") then fixed up csum_start.

Virtio, packet and uml do not insert the vlan header in the user
buffer.

When introducing virtio_net_hdr_from_skb to deduplicate filling in
the virtio_net_hdr, the variant from macvtap which adds VLAN_HLEN was
applied uniformly, breaking csum offset for packets with vlan on
virtio and packet.

Make insertion of VLAN_HLEN optional. Convert the callers to pass it
when needed.

After commit 6b229cf77d68 ("udp: add batching to udp_rmem_release()")
the sk_rmem_alloc field does not measure exactly anymore the
receive queue length, because we batch the rmem release. The issue
is really apparent only after commit 0d4a6608f68c ("udp: do rmem bulk
free even if the rx sk queue is empty"): the user space can easily
check for an empty socket with not-0 queue length reported by the 'ss'
tool or the procfs interface.

We need to use a custom UDP helper to report the correct queue length,
taking into account the forward allocation deficit.

[ Upstream commit 5a817641f68a6399a5fac8b7d2da67a73698ffed ]

The filesystem freezing code needs to transfer ownership of a rwsem
embedded in a percpu-rwsem from the task that does the freezing to
another one that does the thawing by calling percpu_rwsem_release()
after freezing and percpu_rwsem_acquire() before thawing.

However, the new rwsem debug code runs afoul with this scheme by warning
that the task that releases the rwsem isn't the one that acquires it,
as reported by Amir Goldstein:

  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(sem-&gt;owner != get_current())
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1401 at /home/amir/build/src/linux/kernel/locking/rwsem.c:133 up_write+0x59/0x79

  Call Trace:
   percpu_up_write+0x1f/0x28

   do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x167
   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

To work properly with the rwsem debug code, we need to annotate that the
rwsem ownership is unknown during the tranfer period until a brave soul
comes forward to acquire the ownership. During that period, optimistic
spinning will be disabled.

changed map_word_andequal() into a macro, but also changed the right

val3 on the right hand side.

Thankfully this did not cause a regression because all callers

[ Upstream commit ddc9cfb79c1096a0855839631c091aa7e9602052 ]

Our virtual machines make use of device assignment by configuring
12 NVMe disks for high I/O performance. Each NVMe device has 129
MSI-X Table entries:
Capabilities: [50] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=129 Masked-Vector table: BAR=0 offset=00002000
The windows virtual machines fail to boot since they will map the number of
MSI-table entries that the NVMe hardware reported to the bus to msi routing
table, this will exceed the 1024. This patch extends MAX_IRQ_ROUTES to 4096
for all archs, in the future this might be extended again if needed.
