commit 63ce53724637e2e7ba51fe3a4f78351715049905 upstream.

Using device_find_child() to locate a probed virtual-device-port node
causes a device refcount imbalance, as device_find_child() internally
calls get_device() to increment the device’s reference count before
returning its pointer. vdc_port_mpgroup_check() directly returns true
upon finding a matching device without releasing the reference via
put_device(). We should call put_device() to decrement refcount.

As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop
the reference with put_device() after use'.

Found by code review.

[ Upstream commit 6030363199e3a6341afb467ddddbed56640cbf6a ]

In vdc_port_probe(), we should check the return value of mdesc_grab() as
it may return NULL, which can cause potential NPD bug.

vdc_blk_queue_start() may be called from irq context, so we can't run
queue via blk_mq_start_hw_queues() since we never allow to run queue
from irq context. Use blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues(q, true) to fix
this issue.

<title>sunvdc: Remove VLA usage</title>

<content type='text'>
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this moves
the math for cookies calculation into macros and allocates a fixed size
array for the maximum number of cookies and adds a runtime sanity check.
(Note that the size was always fixed, but just hidden from the compiler.)

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this moves

(Note that the size was always fixed, but just hidden from the compiler.)
