[ Upstream commit d33d729afcc8ad2148d99f9bc499b33fd0c0d73b ]

An erroneous message is written to the kernel log when either of the
following actions are taken by a user:

1. Assign an adapter or domain to a vfio_ap mediated device via its sysfs
   assign_adapter or assign_domain attributes that would result in one or
   more AP queues being assigned that are already assigned to a different
   mediated device. Sharing of queues between mdevs is not allowed.

2. Reserve an adapter or domain for the host device driver via the AP bus
   driver's sysfs apmask or aqmask attribute that would result in providing
   host access to an AP queue that is in use by a vfio_ap mediated device.
   Reserving a queue for a host driver that is in use by an mdev is not
   allowed.

In both cases, the assignment will return an error; however, a message like
the following is written to the kernel log:

vfio_ap_mdev e1839397-51a0-4e3c-91e0-c3b9c3d3047d: Userspace may not
re-assign queue 00.0028 already assigned to \
e1839397-51a0-4e3c-91e0-c3b9c3d3047d

Notice the mdev reporting the error is the same as the mdev identified
in the message as the one to which the queue is being assigned.
It is perfectly okay to assign a queue to an mdev to which it is
already assigned; the assignment is simply ignored by the vfio_ap device
driver.

This patch logs more descriptive and accurate messages for both 1 and 2
above to the kernel log:

Example for 1:
vfio_ap_mdev 0fe903a0-a323-44db-9daf-134c68627d61: Userspace may not assign
queue 00.0033 to mdev: already assigned to \
62177883-f1bb-47f0-914d-32a22e3a8804

Example for 2:
vfio_ap_mdev 62177883-f1bb-47f0-914d-32a22e3a8804: Can not reserve queue
00.0033 for host driver: in use by mdev

<title>s390/virtio_ccw: Don't allocate/assign airqs for non-existing queues</title>

<content type='text'>
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.
 task:kworker/1:3 [...]

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/ism: add release function for struct device</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Like other drivers qeth is calling local_bh_enable() after napi_schedule()
to kick-start softirqs [0].
Since netif_napi_add_tx() and napi_enable() now take the netdev_lock()
mutex [1], move them out from under the BH protection. Same solution as in

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

<id>32ae4a2992529e2c7934e422035fad1d9b0f1fb5</id>
<content type='text'>
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

Pull more s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - The rework that uncoupled physical and virtual address spaces
   inadvertently prevented KASAN shadow mappings from using large pages.
   Restore large page mappings for KASAN shadows

 - Add decompressor routine physmem_alloc() that may fail, unlike
   physmem_alloc_or_die(). This allows callers to implement fallback
   paths

 - Allow falling back from large pages to smaller pages (1MB or 4KB) if
   the allocation of 2GB pages in the decompressor can not be fulfilled

 - Add to the decompressor boot print support of "%%" format string,
   width and padding hadnling, length modifiers and decimal conversion
   specifiers

 - Add to the decompressor message severity levels similar to kernel
   ones. Support command-line options that control console output
   verbosity

 - Replaces boot_printk() calls with appropriate loglevel- specific
   helpers such as boot_emerg(), boot_warn(), and boot_debug().

 - Collect all boot messages into a ring buffer independent of the
   current log level. This is particularly useful for early crash
   analysis

 - If 'earlyprintk' command line parameter is not specified, store
   decompressor boot messages in a ring buffer to be printed later by
   the kernel, once the console driver is registered

 - Add 'bootdebug' command line parameter to enable printing of
   decompressor debug messages when needed. That parameters allows
   message suppressing and filtering

 - Dump boot messages on a decompressor crash, but only if 'bootdebug'
   command line parameter is enabled

 - When CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, add timestamps to boot messages
   in the same format as regular printk()

 - Dump physical memory tracking information on boot: online ranges,
   reserved areas and vmem allocations

 - Dump virtual memory layout and randomization details

 - Improve decompression error reporting and dump the message ring
   buffer in case the boot failed and system halted

 - Add an exception handler which handles exceptions when FPU control
   register is attempted to be set to an invalid value. Remove '.fixup'
   section as result of this change

 - Use 'A', 'O', and 'R' inline assembly format flags, which allows
   recent Clang compilers to generate better FPU code

 - Rework uaccess code so it reads better and generates more efficient
   code

 - Cleanup futex inline assembly code

 - Disable KMSAN instrumention for futex inline assemblies, which
   contain dereferenced user pointers. Otherwise, shadows for the user
   pointers would be accessed

 - PFs which are not initially configured but in standby create only a
   single-function PCI domain. If they are configured later on, sibling
   PFs and their child VFs will not be added to their PCI domain
   breaking SR-IOV expectations.

   Fix that by allowing initially configured but in standby PFs create
   multi-function PCI domains

 - Add '-std=gnu11' to decompressor and purgatory CFLAGS to avoid
   compile errors caused by kernel's own definitions of 'bool', 'false',
   and 'true' conflicting with the C23 reserved keywords

 - Fix sclp subsystem failure when a sclp console is not present

 - Fix misuse of non-NULL terminated strings in vmlogrdr driver

 - Various other small improvements, cleanups and fixes
