[ Upstream commit 1acfe2c1225899eab5ab724c91b7e1eb2881b9ab ]

In current packed virtqueue implementation, the avail_wrap_counter won't
flip, in the case when the driver supplies a descriptor chain with a
length equals to the queue size; total_sg == vq-&gt;packed.vring.num.

Let’s assume the following situation:
vq-&gt;packed.vring.num=4
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 0

Then the driver adds a descriptor chain containing 4 descriptors.

We expect the following result with avail_wrap_counter flipped:
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 1

But, the current implementation gives the following result:
vq-&gt;packed.next_avail_idx: 1
vq-&gt;packed.avail_wrap_counter: 0

To reproduce the bug, you can set a packed queue size as small as
possible, so that the driver is more likely to provide a descriptor
chain with a length equal to the packed queue size. For example, in
qemu run following commands:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 \
-enable-kvm \
-nographic \
-kernel "path/to/kernel_image" \
-m 1G \
-drive file="path/to/rootfs",if=none,id=disk \
-device virtio-blk,drive=disk \
-drive file="path/to/disk_image",if=none,id=rwdisk \
-device virtio-blk,drive=rwdisk,packed=on,queue-size=4,\
indirect_desc=off \
-append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/vda rw init=/bin/bash"

Inside the VM, create a directory and mount the rwdisk device on it. The
rwdisk will hang and mount operation will not complete.

This commit fixes the wrap counter error by flipping the
packed.avail_wrap_counter, when start of descriptor chain equals to the
end of descriptor chain (head == i).

<title>virtio_vdpa: build affinity masks conditionally</title>

[ Upstream commit ae15aceaa98ad9499763923f7890e345d9f46b60 ]

We try to build affinity mask via create_affinity_masks()
unconditionally which may lead several issues:

- the affinity mask is not used for parent without affinity support
  (only VDUSE support the affinity now)
- the logic of create_affinity_masks() might not work for devices
  other than block. For example it's not rare in the networking device
  where the number of queues could exceed the number of CPUs. Such
  case breaks the current affinity logic which is based on
  group_cpus_evenly() who assumes the number of CPUs are not less than
  the number of groups. This can trigger a warning[1]:

	if (ret &gt;= 0)
		WARN_ON(nr_present + nr_others &lt; numgrps);

Fixing this by only build the affinity masks only when

- Driver passes affinity descriptor, driver like virtio-blk can make
  sure to limit the number of queues when it exceeds the number of CPUs
- Parent support affinity setting config ops

This help to avoid the warning. More optimizations could be done on
top.

[ Upstream commit f55484fd7be923b740e8e1fc304070ba53675cb4 ]

If we repeatedly fail to fake offline memory to unplug it, we won't be
sending any unplug requests to the device. However, we only check if the
config changed when sending such (un)plug requests.

We could end up trying for a long time to unplug memory, even though
the config changed already and we're not supposed to unplug memory
anymore. For example, the hypervisor might detect a low-memory situation
while unplugging memory and decide to replug some memory. Continuing
trying to unplug memory in that case can be problematic.

So let's check on a more regular basis.

<title>virtio-mem: keep retrying on offline_and_remove_memory() errors in Sub Block Mode (SBM)</title>

[ Upstream commit a31648fd4f96fbe0a4d0aeb16b57a2405c6943c0 ]

In case offline_and_remove_memory() fails in SBM, we leave a completely
unplugged Linux memory block stick around until we try plugging memory
again. We won't try removing that memory block again.

offline_and_remove_memory() may, for example, fail if we're racing with
another alloc_contig_range() user, if allocating temporary memory fails,
or if some memory notifier rejected the offlining request.

Let's handle that case better, by simple retrying to offline and remove
such memory.

Tested using CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT.

[ Upstream commit a31648fd4f96fbe0a4d0aeb16b57a2405c6943c0 ]

In case offline_and_remove_memory() fails in SBM, we leave a completely
unplugged Linux memory block stick around until we try plugging memory
again. We won't try removing that memory block again.

offline_and_remove_memory() may, for example, fail if we're racing with
another alloc_contig_range() user, if allocating temporary memory fails,
or if some memory notifier rejected the offlining request.

Let's handle that case better, by simple retrying to offline and remove
such memory.

Tested using CONFIG_MEMORY_NOTIFIER_ERROR_INJECT.

Just like we do with alloc_contig_range(), let's convert all unknown
errors to -EBUSY, but WARN so we can look into the issue. For example,
offline_pages() could fail with -EINTR, which would be unexpected in our
case.

<title>virtio-mem: remove unsafe unplug in Big Block Mode (BBM)</title>

[ Upstream commit f504e15b94eb4e5b47f8715da59c0207f68dffe1 ]

When "unsafe unplug" is enabled, we don't fake-offline all memory ahead of
actual memory offlining using alloc_contig_range(). Instead, we rely on
offline_pages() to also perform actual page migration, which might fail
or take a very long time.

In that case, it's possible to easily run into endless loops that cannot be
aborted anymore (as offlining is triggered by a workqueue then): For
example, a single (accidentally) permanently unmovable page in
ZONE_MOVABLE results in an endless loop. For ZONE_NORMAL, races between
isolating the pageblock (and checking for unmovable pages) and
concurrent page allocation are possible and similarly result in endless
loops.

The idea of the unsafe unplug mode was to make it possible to more
reliably unplug large memory blocks. However, (a) we really should be
tackling that differently, by extending the alloc_contig_range()-based
mechanism; and (b) this mode is not the default and as far as I know,
it's unused either way.

So let's simply get rid of it.

<title>virtio-mmio: don't break lifecycle of vm_dev</title>

[ Upstream commit 55c91fedd03d7b9cf0c5199b2eb12b9b8e95281a ]

vm_dev has a separate lifecycle because it has a 'struct device'
embedded. Thus, having a release callback for it is correct.

Allocating the vm_dev struct with devres totally breaks this protection,
though. Instead of waiting for the vm_dev release callback, the memory
is freed when the platform_device is removed. Resulting in a
use-after-free when finally the callback is to be called.

To easily see the problem, compile the kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and unbind with sysfs.

The fix is easy, don't use devres in this case.

Found during my research about object lifetime problems.
