[ 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.

[ 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.

This reverts commit 7d839c10b848aa66ca1290a21ee600bd17c2dcb4 which is
commit 967d1dc144b50ad005e5eecdfadfbcfb399ffff6 upstream.

It does not work properly in the 4.9.y tree and causes more problems
than it fixes, so revert it.

[ Upstream commit 296dcc40f2f2e402facf7cd26cf3f2c8f4b17d47 ]

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.

<title>drbd: skip spurious timeout (ping-timeo) when failing promote</title>

[ Upstream commit 9848b6ddd8c92305252f94592c5e278574e7a6ac ]

If you try to promote a Secondary while connected to a Primary
and allow-two-primaries is NOT set, we will wait for "ping-timeout"
to give this node a chance to detect a dead primary,
in case the cluster manager noticed faster than we did.

But if we then are *still* connected to a Primary,
we fail (after an additional timeout of ping-timout).

This change skips the spurious second timeout.

Most people won't notice really,
since "ping-timeout" by default is half a second.

But in some installations, ping-timeout may be 10 or 20 seconds or more,
and spuriously delaying the error return becomes annoying.

<title>drbd: disconnect, if the wrong UUIDs are attached on a connected peer</title>

[ Upstream commit b17b59602b6dcf8f97a7dc7bc489a48388d7063a ]

With "on-no-data-accessible suspend-io", DRBD requires the next attach
or connect to be to the very same data generation uuid tag it lost last.

If we first lost connection to the peer,
then later lost connection to our own disk,
we would usually refuse to re-connect to the peer,
because it presents the wrong data set.

However, if the peer first connects without a disk,
and then attached its disk, we accepted that same wrong data set,
which would be "unexpected" by any user of that DRBD
and cause "undefined results" (read: very likely data corruption).

The fix is to forcefully disconnect as soon as we notice that the peer
attached to the "wrong" dataset.
