<title>s390/qeth: fix L3 next-hop in xmit qeth hdr</title>

<content type='text'>
On L3, the qeth_hdr struct needs to be filled with the next-hop
IP address.
The current code accesses rtable-&gt;rt_gateway without checking that
rtable is a valid address. The accidental access to a lowcore area
results in a random next-hop address in the qeth_hdr.
rtable (or more precisely, skb_dst(skb)) can be NULL in rare cases
(for instance together with AF_PACKET sockets).
This patch adds the missing NULL-ptr checks.

<title>vfio: ccw: fix bad ptr math for TIC cda translation</title>

<content type='text'>
When we are translating channel data addresses from guest to host
address space for TIC instructions we are getting incorrect
addresses because of a pointer arithmetic error.

We currently calculate the offset of the TIC's cda from the start
of the channel program chain (ccw-&gt;cda - ccw_head). We then add
that to the address of the ccw chain in host memory (iter-&gt;ch_ccw).
The problem is that iter-&gt;ch_ccw is a pointer to struct ccw1 so
when we increment it we are actually incrementing by the size of
struct ccw1 which is 8 bytes. The intent was to increment by
n-bytes, not n*8.

The fix: cast iter-&gt;ch_ccw to char* so it will be incremented by
n*1.

When channel path is identified as the report source code (RSC)
of a CRW, and initialized (CRW_ERC_INIT) is recognized as the
error recovery code (ERC) by the channel subsystem, it indicates
a "path has come" event.

Let's handle this case in chp_process_crw().

<title>mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea'/>
<id>dcda9b04713c3f6ff0875652924844fae28286ea</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator.  This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes.  This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.

Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic.  Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success.  This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior.  Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs.  cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
   attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
   doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
   it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
   aggressive reclaim

 - GFP_KERNEL &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
   allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
   context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
   the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
   the request is a performance optimization and there is another
   fallback for a slow path.

 - (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) &amp; ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
   non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
   some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
   context with an expensive slow path fallback.

 - GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
   _default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
   allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
   that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
   (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
   reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
   is not invoked.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
   behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
   will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
   won't be triggered.

 - GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
   and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
   This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.

Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic.  No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.

This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
  pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
  undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.

  The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.

  Summary:

   - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
     them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
     _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
     for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
     operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).

   - Extend dax_operations with -&gt;copy_from_iter() and -&gt;flush()
     operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
     all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
     libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
     sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
     /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache

   - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
     introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
     namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
     command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
     (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
     and pre-OS compatibility.

   - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.

   - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
     capable.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
     driver.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
  pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
  undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.

  The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.

  Summary:

   - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
     them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
     _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
     for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
     operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).

   - Extend dax_operations with -&gt;copy_from_iter() and -&gt;flush()
     operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
     all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
     libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
     sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
     /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache

   - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
     introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
     namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
     command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
     (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
     and pre-OS compatibility.

   - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.

   - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
     capable.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
     driver.
