commit a2b1e8a20c992b01eeb76de00d4f534cbe9f3822 upstream.

Nothing in this minimal script seems to require bash. We often run these
tests on embedded devices where the only shell available is the busybox
ash. Use sh instead.

<content type='text'>
A recent flurry of bug discoveries in the nfit driver's DSM marshalling
routine has highlighted the fact that we do not have unit test coverage
for this routine. Add a self-test of acpi_nfit_ctl() routine before
probing the "nfit_test.0" device. This mocks stimulus to acpi_nfit_ctl()
and if any of the tests fail "nfit_test.0" will be unavailable causing
the rest of the tests to not run / fail.

This unit test will also be a place to land reproductions of quirky BIOS
behavior discovered in the field and ensure the kernel does not regress
against implementations it has seen in practice.

Kernel source files need not include &lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt; explicitly
because the top Makefile forces to include it with:

  -include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

This commit removes explicit includes except the following:

  * arch/s390/include/asm/facilities_src.h
  * tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/kernel.h

These two are used for host programs.

<title>radix-tree tests: add iteration test</title>
<updated>2016-10-11T22:06:30Z</updated>

<name>Ross Zwisler</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=eec4852543e4e6edbb6cab512fd1edc70c1f7a18'/>
<id>urn:sha1:eec4852543e4e6edbb6cab512fd1edc70c1f7a18</id>
<content type='text'>
There are four cases I can see where we could end up with a NULL 'slot' in
radix_tree_next_slot().  This unit test exercises all four of them, making
sure that if in the future we have an unsafe path through
radix_tree_next_slot(), we'll catch it.

Here are details on the four cases:

1) radix_tree_iter_retry() via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot().  In this case we currently aren't seeing a bug
because radix_tree_iter_retry() sets

    iter-&gt;next_index = iter-&gt;index;

which means that in in the else case in radix_tree_next_slot(), 'count' is
zero, so we skip over the while() loop and effectively just return NULL
without ever dereferencing 'slot'.

2) radix_tree_iter_retry() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged().  This case was giving us NULL pointer
dereferences in testing, and was fixed with this commit:

commit 3cb9185c6730 ("radix-tree: fix radix_tree_iter_retry() for tagged
iterators.")

This fix doesn't explicitly check for 'slot' being NULL, though, it works
around the NULL pointer dereference by instead zeroing iter-&gt;tags in
radix_tree_iter_retry(), which makes us bail out of the if() case in
radix_tree_next_slot() before we dereference 'slot'.

3) radix_tree_iter_next() via via a non-tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_slot().  This currently happens in shmem_tag_pins()
and shmem_partial_swap_usage().

As with non-tagged iteration, 'count' in the else case of
radix_tree_next_slot() is zero, so we skip over the while() loop and
effectively just return NULL without ever dereferencing 'slot'.

4) radix_tree_iter_next() via tagged iteration like
radix_tree_for_each_tagged().  This happens in shmem_wait_for_pins().

radix_tree_iter_next() zeros out iter-&gt;tags, so we end up exiting
radix_tree_next_slot() here:

    if (flags &amp; RADIX_TREE_ITER_TAGGED) {
	    void *canon = slot;

	    iter-&gt;tags &gt;&gt;= 1;
	    if (unlikely(!iter-&gt;tags))
		    return NULL;

<id>urn:sha1:d09ba13110e303d7baa29d170da94cd24f7662b2</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Aside from the recently added pmem sub-division support these have
  been in -next for several releases with no reported issues. The sub-
  division support was included in next-20161010 with no reported
  issues. It passes all unit tests including new tests for all the new
  functionality below.

  Summary:

   - PMEM sub-division support: Allow a single PMEM region to be divided
     into multiple namespaces. Originally, ~2 years ago, it was thought
     that partitions of a /dev/pmemX block device could handle
     sub-allocations of persistent memory for different use cases. With
     the decision to not support DAX mappings of raw block-devices, and
     the genesis of device-dax, the need for having multiple
     pmem-namespace per region has grown.

   - Device-DAX unified inode: In support of dynamic-resizing of a
     device-dax instance the kernel arranges for all mappings of a
     device-dax node to share the same inode. This allows unmap /
     truncate / invalidation events to affect all instances of the
     device similar to the behavior of mmap on block devices.

   - Hardware error scrubbing reworks: The original address-range-scrub
     and badblocks tracking solution allowed clearing entries at the
     individual namespace level, but it failed to clear the internal
     list of media errors maintained at the bus level. The result was
     that the next scrub or namespace disable/re-enable event would
     restore the cleared badblocks, but now that is fixed. The v4.8
     kernel introduced an auto-scrub-on-machine-check behavior to
     repopulate the badblocks list. Now, in v4.9, the auto-scrub
     behavior can be disabled and simply arrange for the error reported
     in the machine-check to be added to the list.

   - DIMM health-event notification support: ACPI 6.1 defines a
     notification event code that can be send to ACPI NVDIMM devices. A
     poll(2) capable file descriptor for these events can be obtained
     from the nmemX/nfit/flags sysfs-attribute of a libnvdimm memory
     device.

   - Miscellaneous fixes: NVDIMM-N probe error, device-dax build error,
     and a change to dedup the flush hint list to not flush the memory
     controller more than necessary"
