commit 86d92f5465958752481269348d474414dccb1552 upstream.

Current driver has 240 (USB2.0) and 2048 (USB3.0) as max_sectors,
e.g., /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/max_sectors

If data access times out, driver error handling will issue a port
reset.
Sometimes Samsung Fit (090C:1000) flash disk will not respond to
later Set Address or Get Descriptor command.

Adding this quirk to limit max_sectors to 64 sectors to avoid issue
occurring.

commit 3e99862c05a9caa5a27969f41566b428696f5a9a upstream.

When a uas disk is plugged into an external hub, uas_probe()
will be called by the hub thread to do the probe. It will
first create a SCSI host and then do the scan for this host.
During the scan, it will probe the LUN using SCSI INQUERY command
which will be packed in the URB and submitted to uas disk.

There might be a chance that this external hub with uas disk
attached is unplugged during the scan. In this case, uas driver
will fail to submit the URB (due to the NOTATTACHED state of uas
device) and try to put this SCSI command back to request queue
waiting for next chance to run.

In normal case, this cycle will terminate when hub thread gets
disconnection event and calls into uas_disconnect() accordingly.
But in this case, uas_disconnect() will not be called because
hub thread of external hub gets stuck waiting for the completion
of this SCSI command. A deadlock happened.

In this fix, uas will call scsi_scan_host() asynchronously to
avoid the blocking of hub thread.

commit f8c63edfd78905320e86b6b2be2b7a5ac768fa4e upstream.

Fix commit 7b81cb6bddd2 ("usb: add a HCD_DMA flag instead of
guestimating DMA capabilities") where local memory USB drivers
erroneously allocate DMA memory instead of pool memory, causing

	OHCI Unrecoverable Error, disabled
	HC died; cleaning up

The order between hcd_uses_dma() and hcd-&gt;localmem_pool is now
arranged as in hcd_buffer_alloc() and hcd_buffer_free(), with the
test for hcd-&gt;localmem_pool placed first.

As an alternative, one might consider adjusting hcd_uses_dma() with

 static inline bool hcd_uses_dma(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
 {
-	return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAS_DMA) &amp;&amp; (hcd-&gt;driver-&gt;flags &amp; HCD_DMA);
+	return IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAS_DMA) &amp;&amp;
+		(hcd-&gt;driver-&gt;flags &amp; HCD_DMA) &amp;&amp;
+		(hcd-&gt;localmem_pool == NULL);
 }

One can also consider unsetting HCD_DMA for local memory pool drivers.

<content type='text'>
Commit 3ae62a42090f ("UAS: fix alignment of scatter/gather segments"),
copying a similar commit for usb-storage, attempted to solve a problem
involving scatter-gather I/O and USB/IP by setting the
virt_boundary_mask for mass-storage devices.

However, it now turns out that the analogous change in usb-storage
interacted badly with commit 09324d32d2a0 ("block: force an unlimited
segment size on queues with a virt boundary"), which was added later.
A typical error message is:

	ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 327680 bytes),
	total 32768 (slots), used 97 (slots)

There is no longer any reason to keep the virt_boundary_mask setting
in the uas driver.  It was needed in the first place only for
handling devices with a block size smaller than the maxpacket size and
where the host controller was not capable of fully general
scatter-gather operation (that is, able to merge two SG segments into
a single USB packet).  But:

	High-speed or slower connections never use a bulk maxpacket
	value larger than 512;

	The SCSI layer does not handle block devices with a block size
	smaller than 512 bytes;

	All the host controllers capable of SuperSpeed operation can
	handle fully general SG;

	Since commit ea44d190764b ("usbip: Implement SG support to
	vhci-hcd and stub driver") was merged, the USB/IP driver can
	also handle SG.

Therefore all supported device/controller combinations should be okay
with no need for any special virt_boundary_mask.  So in order to head
off potential problems similar to those affecting usb-storage, this
patch reverts commit 3ae62a42090f.

Commit 747668dbc061 ("usb-storage: Set virt_boundary_mask to avoid SG
overflows") attempted to solve a problem involving scatter-gather I/O
and USB/IP by setting the virt_boundary_mask for mass-storage devices.

However, it now turns out that this interacts badly with commit
09324d32d2a0 ("block: force an unlimited segment size on queues with a
virt boundary"), which was added later.  A typical error message is:

	ehci-pci 0000:00:13.2: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 327680 bytes),
	total 32768 (slots), used 97 (slots)

There is no longer any reason to keep the virt_boundary_mask setting
for usb-storage.  It was needed in the first place only for handling
devices with a block size smaller than the maxpacket size and where
the host controller was not capable of fully general scatter-gather
operation (that is, able to merge two SG segments into a single USB
packet).  But:

	High-speed or slower connections never use a bulk maxpacket
	value larger than 512;

	The SCSI layer does not handle block devices with a block size
	smaller than 512 bytes;

	All the host controllers capable of SuperSpeed operation can
	handle fully general SG;

	Since commit ea44d190764b ("usbip: Implement SG support to
	vhci-hcd and stub driver") was merged, the USB/IP driver can
	also handle SG.

Therefore all supported device/controller combinations should be okay
with no need for any special virt_boundary_mask.  So in order to fix
the swiotlb problem, this patch reverts commit 747668dbc061.

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
 "The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
  namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
  growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
  and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
  "clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.

  Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
  explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
  easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
  of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
  namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
  the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

  Summary:

   - Introduce exported symbol namespaces.

     This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
     categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
     authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.

     Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
     kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
     subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
     exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
     inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
     well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
     to other parts of the kernel.

     With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
     misuse of exported symbols during patch review.

     Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
     Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.

   - Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"

Modules using these symbols are required to explicitly import the
namespace. This patch was generated with the following steps and serves
as a reference to use the symbol namespace feature:

 1) Define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE in the corresponding Makefile
 2) make  (see warnings during modpost about missing imports)
 3) make nsdeps

Instead of a DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE definition, the EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS
variants can be used to explicitly specify the namespace. The advantage
of the method used here is that newly added symbols are automatically
exported and existing ones are exported without touching their
respective EXPORT_SYMBOL macro expansion.
