commit f6b50160a06d4a0d6a3999ab0c5aec4f52dba248 upstream.

__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however
dax support for brd has been removed since commit (7a862fbbdec6
"brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in
brd_insert_page().

Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem.

<title>virtio-blk: limit number of hw queues by nr_cpu_ids</title>

[ Upstream commit bf348f9b78d413e75bb079462751a1d86b6de36c ]

When tag_set-&gt;nr_maps is 1, the block layer limits the number of hw queues
by nr_cpu_ids. No matter how many hw queues are used by virtio-blk, as it
has (tag_set-&gt;nr_maps == 1), it can use at most nr_cpu_ids hw queues.

In addition, specifically for pci scenario, when the 'num-queues' specified
by qemu is more than maxcpus, virtio-blk would not be able to allocate more
than maxcpus vectors in order to have a vector for each queue. As a result,
it falls back into MSI-X with one vector for config and one shared for
queues.

Considering above reasons, this patch limits the number of hw queues used
by virtio-blk by nr_cpu_ids.

<title>xsysace: Fix error handling in ace_setup</title>

[ Upstream commit 47b16820c490149c2923e8474048f2c6e7557cab ]

If xace hardware reports a bad version number, the error handling code
in ace_setup() calls put_disk(), followed by queue cleanup. However, since
the disk data structure has the queue pointer set, put_disk() also
cleans and releases the queue. This results in blk_cleanup_queue()
accessing an already released data structure, which in turn may result
in a crash such as the following.

Fix the problem by setting the disk queue pointer to NULL before calling
put_disk(). A more comprehensive fix might be to rearrange the code
to check the hardware version before initializing data structures,
but I don't know if this would have undesirable side effects, and
it would increase the complexity of backporting the fix to older kernels.

commit e153abc0739ff77bd89c9ba1688cdb963464af97 upstream.

When scheduling work item to read page we need to pass down the proper
bvec struct which points to the page to read into.  Before this patch it
uses a randomly initialized bvec (only if PAGE_SIZE != 4096) which is
wrong.

Note that without this patch on arch/kernel where PAGE_SIZE != 4096
userspace could read random memory through a zram block device (thought
userspace probably would have no control on the address being read).

[ Upstream commit 758a58d0bc67457f1215321a536226654a830eeb ]

Commit 0da03cab87e6
("loop: Fix deadlock when calling blkdev_reread_part()") moves
blkdev_reread_part() out of the loop_ctl_mutex. However,
GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN is set before __blkdev_reread_part(). As a result,
__blkdev_reread_part() will fail the check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN and
will not rescan the loop device to delete all partitions.

Below are steps to reproduce the issue:

step1 # dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp.raw bs=1M count=100
step2 # losetup -P /dev/loop0 tmp.raw
step3 # parted /dev/loop0 mklabel gpt
step4 # parted -a none -s /dev/loop0 mkpart primary 64s 1
step5 # losetup -d /dev/loop0

Step5 will not be able to delete /dev/loop0p1 (introduced by step4) and
there is below kernel warning message:

[  464.414043] __loop_clr_fd: partition scan of loop0 failed (rc=-22)

This patch sets GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after blkdev_reread_part().

<title>loop: access lo_backing_file only when the loop device is Lo_bound</title>

commit f7c8a4120eedf24c36090b7542b179ff7a649219 upstream.

Commit 758a58d0bc67 ("loop: set GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN after
blkdev_reread_part()") separates "lo-&gt;lo_backing_file = NULL" and
"lo-&gt;lo_state = Lo_unbound" into different critical regions protected by
loop_ctl_mutex.

However, there is below race that the NULL lo-&gt;lo_backing_file would be
accessed when the backend of a loop is another loop device, e.g., loop0's
backend is a file, while loop1's backend is loop0.

loop0's backend is file            loop1's backend is loop0

__loop_clr_fd()
  mutex_lock(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex);
  lo-&gt;lo_backing_file = NULL; --&gt; set to NULL
  mutex_unlock(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex);
                                   loop_set_fd()
                                     mutex_lock_killable(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex);
                                     loop_validate_file()
                                       f = l-&gt;lo_backing_file; --&gt; NULL
                                         access if loop0 is not Lo_unbound
  mutex_lock(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex);
  lo-&gt;lo_state = Lo_unbound;
  mutex_unlock(&amp;loop_ctl_mutex);

lo-&gt;lo_backing_file should be accessed only when the loop device is
Lo_bound.

In fact, the problem has been introduced already in commit 7ccd0791d985
("loop: Push loop_ctl_mutex down into loop_clr_fd()") after which
loop_validate_file() could see devices in Lo_rundown state with which it
did not count. It was harmless at that point but still.

[ Upstream commit 96d7cb932e826219ec41ac02e5af037ffae6098c ]

floppy_check_events() is supposed to return bit flags to say which
events occured. We should return zero to say that no event flags are
set.  Only BIT(0) and BIT(1) are used in the caller. And .check_events
interface also expect to return an unsigned int value.

However, after commit a0c80efe5956, it may return -EINTR (-4u).
Here, both BIT(0) and BIT(1) are cleared. So this patch shouldn't
affect runtime, but it obviously is still worth fixing.

When the block device is opened with FMODE_EXCL, ref_count is set to -1.
This value doesn't get reset when the device is closed which means the
device cannot be opened again. Fix this by checking for refcount &lt;= 0
in the release method.

Patch series "zram idle page writeback", v3.

Inherently, swap device has many idle pages which are rare touched since
it was allocated.  It is never problem if we use storage device as swap.
However, it's just waste for zram-swap.

This patchset supports zram idle page writeback feature.

* Admin can define what is idle page "no access since X time ago"
* Admin can define when zram should writeback them
* Admin can define when zram should stop writeback to prevent wearout

With writeback feature, zram_slot_free_notify could be called in softirq
context by end_swap_bio_read.  However, bitmap_lock is not aware of that
so lockdep yell out:

  get_entry_bdev
  spin_lock(bitmap-&gt;lock);
  irq
  softirq
  end_swap_bio_read
  zram_slot_free_notify
  zram_slot_lock &lt;-- deadlock prone
  zram_free_page
  put_entry_bdev
  spin_lock(bitmap-&gt;lock); &lt;-- deadlock prone

With akpm's suggestion (i.e.  bitmap operation is already atomic), we
could remove bitmap lock.  It might fail to find a empty slot if serious
contention happens.  However, it's not severe problem because huge page
writeback has already possiblity to fail if there is severe memory
pressure.  Worst case is just keeping the incompressible in memory, not
storage.

The other problem is zram_slot_lock in zram_slot_slot_free_notify.  To
make it safe is this patch introduces zram_slot_trylock where
zram_slot_free_notify uses it.  Although it's rare to be contented, this
patch adds new debug stat "miss_free" to keep monitoring how often it
happens.

With writeback feature, zram_slot_free_notify could be called in softirq
context by end_swap_bio_read.  However, bitmap_lock is not aware of that
so lockdep yell out:

  get_entry_bdev
  spin_lock(bitmap-&gt;lock);
  irq
  softirq
  end_swap_bio_read
  zram_slot_free_notify
  zram_slot_lock &lt;-- deadlock prone
  zram_free_page
  put_entry_bdev
  spin_lock(bitmap-&gt;lock); &lt;-- deadlock prone

With akpm's suggestion (i.e.  bitmap operation is already atomic), we
could remove bitmap lock.  It might fail to find a empty slot if serious
contention happens.  However, it's not severe problem because huge page
writeback has already possiblity to fail if there is severe memory
pressure.  Worst case is just keeping the incompressible in memory, not
storage.

The other problem is zram_slot_lock in zram_slot_slot_free_notify.  To
make it safe is this patch introduces zram_slot_trylock where
zram_slot_free_notify uses it.  Although it's rare to be contented, this
patch adds new debug stat "miss_free" to keep monitoring how often it
happens.
