commit 2ccd42b959aaf490333dbd3b9b102eaf295c036a upstream.

If we finds a vq without a name in our input array in
virtio_ccw_find_vqs(), we treat it as "non-existing" and set the vq pointer
to NULL; we will not call virtio_ccw_setup_vq() to allocate/setup a vq.

Consequently, we create only a queue if it actually exists (name != NULL)
and assign an incremental queue index to each such existing queue.

However, in virtio_ccw_register_adapter_ind()-&gt;get_airq_indicator() we
will not ignore these "non-existing queues", but instead assign an airq
indicator to them.

Besides never releasing them in virtio_ccw_drop_indicators() (because
there is no virtqueue), the bigger issue seems to be that there will be a
disagreement between the device and the Linux guest about the airq
indicator to be used for notifying a queue, because the indicator bit
for adapter I/O interrupt is derived from the queue index.

The virtio spec states under "Setting Up Two-Stage Queue Indicators":

	... indicator contains the guest address of an area wherein the
	indicators for the devices are contained, starting at bit_nr, one
	bit per virtqueue of the device.

And further in "Notification via Adapter I/O Interrupts":

	For notifying the driver of virtqueue buffers, the device sets the
	bit in the guest-provided indicator area at the corresponding
	offset.

For example, QEMU uses in virtio_ccw_notify() the queue index (passed as
"vector") to select the relevant indicator bit. If a queue does not exist,
it does not have a corresponding indicator bit assigned, because it
effectively doesn't have a queue index.

Using a virtio-balloon-ccw device under QEMU with free-page-hinting
disabled ("free-page-hint=off") but free-page-reporting enabled
("free-page-reporting=on") will result in free page reporting
not working as expected: in the virtio_balloon driver, we'll be stuck
forever in virtballoon_free_page_report()-&gt;wait_event(), because the
waitqueue will not be woken up as the notification from the device is
lost: it would use the wrong indicator bit.

Free page reporting stops working and we get splats (when configured to
detect hung wqs) like:

 INFO: task kworker/1:3:463 blocked for more than 61 seconds.
       Not tainted 6.14.0 #4
 "echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

There was recently a discussion [1] whether the "holes" should be
treated differently again, effectively assigning also non-existing
queues a queue index: that should also fix the issue, but requires other
workarounds to not break existing setups.

Let's fix it without affecting existing setups for now by properly ignoring
the non-existing queues, so the indicator bits will match the queue
indexes.

<title>s390/cio: Fix CHPID "configure" attribute caching</title>

[ Upstream commit 32ae4a2992529e2c7934e422035fad1d9b0f1fb5 ]

In some environments, the SCLP firmware interface used to query a
CHPID's configured state is not supported. On these environments,
rapidly reading the corresponding sysfs attribute produces inconsistent
results:

  $ cat /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure
  cat: /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure: Operation not supported
  $ cat /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure
  3

This occurs for example when Linux is run as a KVM guest. The
inconsistency is a result of CIO using cached results for generating
the value of the "configure" attribute while failing to handle the
situation where no data was returned by SCLP.

Fix this by not updating the cache-expiration timestamp when SCLP
returns no data. With the fix applied, the system response is
consistent:

  $ cat /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure
  cat: /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure: Operation not supported
  $ cat /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure
  cat: /sys/devices/css0/chp0.00/configure: Operation not supported

According to device_release() in /drivers/base/core.c,
a device without a release function is a broken device
and must be fixed.

The current code directly frees the device after calling device_add()
without waiting for other kernel parts to release their references.
Thus, a reference could still be held to a struct device,
e.g., by sysfs, leading to potential use-after-free
issues if a proper release function is not set.

[ Upstream commit 3bcc8a1af581af152d43e42b53db3534018301b5 ]

With the switch to GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES an early call to the sclp subsystem
was added to smp_prepare_cpus(). This will usually succeed since the sclp
subsystem is implicitly initialized early enough if an sclp based console
is present.

If no such console is present the initialization happens with an
arch_initcall(); in such cases calls to the sclp subsystem will fail.
For CPU detection this means that the fallback sigp loop will be used
permanently to detect CPUs instead of the preferred READ_CPU_INFO sclp
request.

Fix this by adding an explicit early sclp_init() call via
arch_cpu_finalize_init().

<title>s390/ap: Replace xchg() with WRITE_ONCE()</title>

<content type='text'>
The result of xchg() is not used, and in addition it is used on a one byte
memory area which leads to inefficient code.

Use WRITE_ONCE() instead to achieve the same result with much less
generated code.

If the page has been exported, do not re-import it. Imports should
only be triggered by the guest. The guest will import the page
automatically when it will need it again, there is no advantage in
importing it manually.

Moreover, vfio_pin_pages() will take an extra reference on the page and
thus will cause the import to always fail. The extra reference would be
dropped only after pointlessly trying to import the page.

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Add firmware sysfs interface which allows user space to retrieve the
   dump area size of the machine

 - Add 'measurement_chars_full' CHPID sysfs attribute to make the
   complete associated Channel-Measurements Characteristics Block
   available

 - Add virtio-mem support

 - Move gmap aka KVM page fault handling from the main fault handler to
   KVM code. This is the first step to make s390 KVM page fault handling
   similar to other architectures. With this first step the main fault
   handler does not have any special handling anymore, and therefore
   convert it to support LOCK_MM_AND_FIND_VMA

 - With gcc 14 s390 support for flag output operand support for inline
   assemblies was added. This allows for several optimizations:

     - Provide a cmpxchg inline assembly which makes use of this, and
       provide all variants of arch_try_cmpxchg() so that the compiler
       can generate slightly better code

     - Convert a few cmpxchg() loops to try_cmpxchg() loops

     - Similar to x86 add a CC_OUT() helper macro (and other macros),
       and convert all inline assemblies to make use of them, so that
       depending on compiler version better code can be generated

 - List installed host-key hashes in sysfs if the machine supports the
   Query Ultravisor Keys UVC

 - Add 'Retrieve Secret' ioctl which allows user space in protected
   execution guests to retrieve previously stored secrets from the
   Ultravisor

 - Add pkey-uv module which supports the conversion of Ultravisor
   retrievable secrets to protected keys

 - Extend the existing paes cipher to exploit the full AES-XTS hardware
   acceleration introduced with message-security assist extension 10

 - Convert hopefully all sysfs show functions to use sysfs_emit() so
   that the constant flow of such patches stop

 - For PCI devices make use of the newly added Topology ID attribute to
   enable whole card multi-function support despite the change to PCHID
   per port. Additionally improve the overall robustness and usability
   of the multifunction support

 - Various other small improvements, fixes, and cleanups

This NULL value is most-likely a copy-paste error from an array
definition. So far the NULL didn't have any effect.
As there will be a union in struct attribute_group at this location,
it will trigger a compiler warning.

Use flag output macros in inline asm to allow for better code generation if
the compiler has support for the flag output constraint.
