[ Upstream commit 5fbd545cd3fd311ea1d6e8be4cedddd0ee5684c7 ]

Ensure that the members of struct skd_msg_buf have been transferred
to the PCIe adapter before the doorbell is triggered. This patch
avoids that I/O fails sporadically and that the following error
message is reported:

(skd0:STM000196603:[0000:00:09.0]): Completion mismatch comp_id=0x0000 skreq=0x0400 new=0x0000

[ Upstream commit 7277cc67b3916eed47558c64f9c9c0de00a35cda ]

Since put_disk() triggers a disk_release() call and since that
last function calls blk_put_queue() if disk-&gt;queue != NULL, clear
the disk-&gt;queue pointer before calling put_disk(). This avoids
that unloading the skd kernel module triggers the following

[ Upstream commit 6bf6b0aa3da84a3d9126919a94c49c0fb7ee2fb3 ]

If blk_mq_init_queue() returns an error, it gets assigned to
vblk-&gt;disk-&gt;queue. Then, when we call put_disk(), we end up calling
blk_put_queue() with the ERR_PTR, causing a bad dereference. Fix it by
only assigning to vblk-&gt;disk-&gt;queue on success.

[ Upstream commit a24fa22ce22ae302b3bf8f7008896d52d5d57b8d ]

There is no need to use xen_blkif_get()/xen_blkif_put() in the kthread
of xen-blkback. Thread stopping is synchronous and using the blkif
reference counting in the kthread will avoid to ever let the reference
count drop to zero at the end of an I/O running concurrent to
disconnecting and multiple rings.

Setting ring-&gt;xenblkd to NULL after stopping the kthread isn't needed
as the kthread does this already.

<title>zram: do not use copy_page with non-page aligned address</title>

[ Upstream commit d72e9a7a93e4f8e9e52491921d99e0c8aa89eb4e ]

The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address.  If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption.  With zram, it can happen with

1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug

Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address.  And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.

So, this patch changes it to memcpy.

Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.

Note:
 When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too.
 Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so
 it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree.

I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to
merge this patch to backport.

In zram_rw_page, the logic to get offset is wrong by operator precedence
(i.e., "&lt;&lt;" is higher than "&amp;").  With wrong offset, zram can corrupt
the user's data.  This patch fixes it.

[ Upstream commit da6ccaaa79caca4f38b540b651238f87215217a2 ]

Make the "Attempted send on closed socket" error messages generated in
nbd_request_handler() ratelimited.

When the nbd socket is shutdown, the nbd_request_handler() function emits
an error message for every request remaining in its queue.  If the queue
is large, this will spam a large amount of messages to the log.  There's
no need for a separate error message for each request, so this patch
ratelimits it.

In the specific case this was found, the system was virtual and the error
messages were logged to the serial port, which overwhelmed it.

[ Upstream commit dec63a4dec2d6d01346fd5d96062e67c0636852b ]

gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a
"module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses
it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments:

  drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms':
  drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare]
   #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose&gt;1)?(msg):NULL)

In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the
variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning.

This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line
instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about
running the ancient driver with debugging.

Fixes: 90ab5ee94171 ("module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers &amp; misc)")
