Doing iput() after path_put() is wrong.

commit 90d72ce079791399ac255c75728f3c9e747b093d upstream.

Embarrassingly, the recent fix introduced worse problem than it solved,
causing the balloon not to inflate. The VM informed the hypervisor that
the pages for lock/unlock are sitting in the wrong address, as it used
the page that is used the uninitialized page variable.

commit a0341fc1981a950c1e902ab901e98f60e0e243f3 upstream.

This read handler had a lot of custom logic and wrote outside the bounds of
the provided buffer. This could lead to kernel and userspace memory
corruption. Just use simple_read_from_buffer() with a stack buffer.

<title>cxl: Disable prefault_mode in Radix mode</title>

commit b6c84ba22ff3a198eb8d5552cf9b8fda1d792e54 upstream.

Currently we see a kernel-oops reported on Power-9 while attaching a
context to an AFU, with radix-mode and sysfs attr 'prefault_mode' set
to anything other than 'none'. The backtrace of the oops is of this
form:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000080
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc00800000bcf3b20

  sys_ioctl+0x40/0xa0
  system_call+0x58/0x6c

The issue is caused as on Power-8 the AFU attr 'prefault_mode' was
used to improve initial storage fault performance by prefaulting
process segments. However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have
Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages
will be too costly and fine-grained.

Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of
radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any
other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.

commit b23220fe054e92f616b82450fae8cd3ab176cc60 upstream.

The balloon.page field is used for two different purposes if batching is
on or off. If batching is on, the field point to the page which is used
to communicate with with the hypervisor. If it is off, balloon.page
points to the page that is about to be (un)locked.

Unfortunately, this dual-purpose of the field introduced a bug: when the
balloon is popped (e.g., when the machine is reset or the balloon driver
is explicitly removed), the balloon driver frees, unconditionally, the
page that is held in balloon.page.  As a result, if batching is
disabled, this leads to double freeing the last page that is sent to the
hypervisor.

The following error occurs during rmmod when kernel checkers are on, and
the balloon is not empty:

<title>cxl: Check if PSL data-cache is available before issue flush request</title>

[ Upstream commit 94322ed8e857e3b2a33cf75118051af9baaa110f ]

PSL9D doesn't have a data-cache that needs to be flushed before
resetting the card. However when cxl tries to flush data-cache on such
a card, it times-out as PSL_Control register never indicates flush
operation complete due to missing data-cache. This is usually
indicated in the kernel logs with this message:

"WARNING: cache flush timed out"

To fix this the patch checks PSL_Debug register CDC-Field(BIT:27)
which indicates the absence of a data-cache and sets a flag
'no_data_cache' in 'struct cxl_native' to indicate this. When
cxl_data_cache_flush() is called it checks the flag and if set bails
out early without requesting a data-cache flush operation to the PSL.

<title>cxl: Fix possible deadlock when processing page faults from cxllib</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ad7b4e8022b9864c075fe71e1328b1d25cad82f6 upstream.

cxllib_handle_fault() is called by an external driver when it needs to
have the host resolve page faults for a buffer. The buffer can cover
several pages and VMAs. The function iterates over all the pages used
by the buffer, based on the page size of the VMA.

To ensure some stability while processing the faults, the thread T1
grabs the mm-&gt;mmap_sem semaphore with read access (R1). However, when
processing a page fault for a single page, one of the underlying
functions, copro_handle_mm_fault(), also grabs the same semaphore with
read access (R2). So the thread T1 takes the semaphore twice.

If another thread T2 tries to access the semaphore in write mode W1
(say, because it wants to allocate memory and calls 'brk'), then that
thread T2 will have to wait because there's a reader (R1). If the
thread T1 is processing a new page at that time, it won't get an
automatic grant at R2, because there's now a writer thread
waiting (T2). And we have a deadlock.

The timeline is:
1. thread T1 owns the semaphore with read access R1
2. thread T2 requests write access W1 and waits
3. thread T1 requests read access R2 and waits

The fix is for the thread T1 to release the semaphore R1 once it got
the information it needs from the current VMA. The address space/VMAs
could evolve while T1 iterates over the full buffer, but in the
unlikely case where T1 misses a page, the external driver will raise a
new page fault when retrying the memory access.

<title>mei: remove dev_err message on an unsupported ioctl</title>

commit bb0829a741792b56c908d7745bc0b2b540293bcc upstream.

Currently the driver spams the kernel log on unsupported ioctls which is
unnecessary as the ioctl returns -ENOIOCTLCMD to indicate this anyway.
I suspect this was originally for debugging purposes but it really is not
required so remove it.
