Pull dma-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:

 - Refactoring of DMA mapping API to physical addresses as the primary
   interface instead of page+offset parameters

   This gets much closer to Matthew Wilcox's long term wish for
   struct-pageless IO to cacheable DRAM and is supporting memdesc
   project which seeks to substantially transform how struct page works.

   An advantage of this approach is the possibility of introducing
   DMA_ATTR_MMIO, which covers existing 'dma_map_resource' flow in the
   common paths, what in turn lets to use recently introduced
   dma_iova_link() API to map PCI P2P MMIO without creating struct page

   Developped by Leon Romanovsky and Jason Gunthorpe

 - Minor clean-up by Petr Tesarik and Qianfeng Rong

xen: take system_transition_mutex on suspend

2025-09-22T08:16:55+00:00

Xen's do_suspend() calls dpm_suspend_start() without taking required
system_transition_mutex. Since 12ffc3b1513eb moved the
pm_restrict_gfp_mask() call, not taking that mutex results in a WARN.

Take the mutex in do_suspend(), and use mutex_trylock() to follow
how enter_state() does this.

mm: rename vm_ops->find_special_page() to vm_ops->find_normal_page()

2025-09-13T23:54:53+00:00

...  and hide it behind a kconfig option.  There is really no need for any
!xen code to perform this check.

The naming is a bit off: we want to find the "normal" page when a PTE was
marked "special".  So it's really not "finding a special" page.

Improve the documentation, and add a comment in the code where XEN ends up
performing the pte_mkspecial() through a hypercall.  More details can be
found in commit 923b2919e2c3 ("xen/gntdev: mark userspace PTEs as special
on x86 PV guests").

xen/manage: Fix suspend error path

2025-09-09T07:10:44+00:00

The device power management API has the following asymmetry:
* dpm_suspend_start() does not clean up on failure
  (it requires a call to dpm_resume_end())
* dpm_suspend_end() does clean up on failure
  (it does not require a call to dpm_resume_start())

The asymmetry was introduced by commit d8f3de0d2412 ("Suspend-related
patches for 2.6.27") in June 2008:  It removed a call to device_resume()
from device_suspend() (which was later renamed to dpm_suspend_start()).

When Xen began using the device power management API in May 2008 with
commit 0e91398f2a5d ("xen: implement save/restore"), the asymmetry did
not yet exist.  But since it was introduced, a call to dpm_resume_end()
is missing in the error path of dpm_suspend_start().  Fix it.

xen/events: Update virq_to_irq on migration

2025-09-09T07:09:30+00:00

VIRQs come in 3 flavors, per-VPU, per-domain, and global, and the VIRQs
are tracked in per-cpu virq_to_irq arrays.

Per-domain and global VIRQs must be bound on CPU 0, and
bind_virq_to_irq() sets the per_cpu virq_to_irq at registration time
Later, the interrupt can migrate, and info->cpu is updated.  When
calling __unbind_from_irq(), the per-cpu virq_to_irq is cleared for a
different cpu.  If bind_virq_to_irq() is called again with CPU 0, the
stale irq is returned.  There won't be any irq_info for the irq, so
things break.

Make xen_rebind_evtchn_to_cpu() update the per_cpu virq_to_irq mappings
to keep them update to date with the current cpu.  This ensures the
correct virq_to_irq is cleared in __unbind_from_irq().

xen/events: Return -EEXIST for bound VIRQs

2025-09-09T07:09:30+00:00

Change find_virq() to return -EEXIST when a VIRQ is bound to a
different CPU than the one passed in.  With that, remove the BUG_ON()
from bind_virq_to_irq() to propogate the error upwards.

Some VIRQs are per-cpu, but others are per-domain or global.  Those must
be bound to CPU0 and can then migrate elsewhere.  The lookup for
per-domain and global will probably fail when migrated off CPU 0,
especially when the current CPU is tracked.  This now returns -EEXIST
instead of BUG_ON().

A second call to bind a per-domain or global VIRQ is not expected, but
make it non-fatal to avoid trying to look up the irq, since we don't
know which per_cpu(virq_to_irq) it will be in.
