commit 7d6380cd40f7993f75c4bde5b36f6019237e8719 upstream.

The block number was not being compared right, it was off by one
when checking the response.

Some statistics wouldn't be incremented properly in some cases.

Check to see if that middle-part messages always have 31 bytes of
data.

This is because when populating Driver Map using firmware raid map, all
non-existing VDs set their ldTgtIdToLd to 0xff, so it can be skipped later.

From drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_base.c ,
memset(instance-&gt;ld_ids, 0xff, MEGASAS_MAX_LD_IDS);

From drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas_fp.c ,
/* For non existing VDs, iterate to next VD*/
if (ld &gt;= (MAX_LOGICAL_DRIVES_EXT - 1))
	continue;

However, there are a few places that failed to skip those non-existing VDs
due to off-by-one errors. Then, those 0xff leaked into MR_LdRaidGet(0xff,
map) and triggered the out-of-bound accesses.

<title>sysfs: Disable lockdep for driver bind/unbind files</title>

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn-&gt;count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn-&gt;count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ]

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N

, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM
killer killing user processes:

Moreover, issuing a large number of kcopyd jobs results in kcopyd
hogging the CPU, while processing them. As a result, processing of work
items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running
kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.
Running the aforementioned test we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

The root cause for these issues is the way dm-snapshot uses kcopyd. In
particular, the lack of an explicit or implicit limit to the maximum
number of in-flight COW jobs. The merging path is not affected because
it implicitly limits the in-flight kcopyd jobs to one.

Fix these issues by using a semaphore to limit the maximum number of
in-flight kcopyd jobs. We grab the semaphore before allocating a new
kcopyd job in start_copy() and start_full_bio() and release it after the
job finishes in copy_callback().

The initial semaphore value is configurable through a module parameter,
to allow fine tuning the maximum number of in-flight COW jobs. Setting
this parameter to zero initializes the semaphore to INT_MAX.

A default value of 2048 maximum in-flight kcopyd jobs was chosen. This
value was decided experimentally as a trade-off between memory
consumption, stalling the kernel's workqueues and maintaining a high
enough throughput.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * kcopyd's job slab cache uses a maximum of 130MB
  * The time taken by the test to write to the snapshot-origin target is
    reduced from 05m20.48s to 03m26.38s

[ Upstream commit 721b1d98fb517ae99ab3b757021cf81db41e67be ]

kcopyd has no upper limit to the number of jobs one can allocate and
issue. Under certain workloads this can lead to excessive memory usage
and workqueue stalls. For example, when creating multiple dm-snapshot
targets with a 4K chunk size and then writing to the origin through the
page cache. Syncing the page cache causes a large number of BIOs to be
issued to the dm-snapshot origin target, which itself issues an even
larger (because of the BIO splitting taking place) number of kcopyd
jobs.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n many_snapshots_of_same_volume_N

, with 8 active snapshots, results in the kcopyd job slab cache growing
to 10G. Depending on the available system RAM this can lead to the OOM
killer killing user processes:

Moreover, issuing a large number of kcopyd jobs results in kcopyd
hogging the CPU, while processing them. As a result, processing of work
items, queued for execution on the same CPU as the currently running
kcopyd thread, is stalled for long periods of time, hurting performance.
Running the aforementioned test we get, in dmesg, messages like the

[ Upstream commit d7e6b8dfc7bcb3f4f3a18313581f67486a725b52 ]

When using kcopyd to run callbacks through dm_kcopyd_do_callback() or
submitting copy jobs with a source size of 0, the jobs are pushed
directly to the complete_jobs list, which could be under processing by
the kcopyd thread. As a result, the kcopyd thread can continue running
completed jobs indefinitely, without releasing the CPU, as long as
someone keeps submitting new completed jobs through the aforementioned
paths. Processing of work items, queued for execution on the same CPU as
the currently running kcopyd thread, is thus stalled for excessive
amounts of time, hurting performance.

Running the following test, from the device mapper test suite [1],

  dmtest run --suite snapshot -n parallel_io_to_many_snaps_N

, with 8 active snapshots, we get, in dmesg, messages like the
following:

Fix this by splitting the complete_jobs list into two parts: A user
facing part, named callback_jobs, and one used internally by kcopyd,
retaining the name complete_jobs. dm_kcopyd_do_callback() and
dispatch_job() now push their jobs to the callback_jobs list, which is
spliced to the complete_jobs list once, every time the kcopyd thread
wakes up. This prevents kcopyd from hogging the CPU indefinitely and
causing workqueue stalls.

Re-running the aforementioned test:

  * Workqueue stalls are eliminated
  * The maximum writing time among all targets is reduced from 09m37.10s
    to 06m04.85s and the total run time of the test is reduced from
    10m43.591s to 7m19.199s

[ Upstream commit ae460c115b7aa50c9a36cf78fced07b27962c9d0 ]

On our AT91SAM9260 board we use the same sdio bus for wifi and for the
sd card slot. This caused the atmel-mci to give the following splat on
the serial console:

[ Upstream commit f7542d817733f461258fd3a47d77da35b2d9fc81 ]

The exclusive gates may be set up in the wrong way by software running
before the clock driver comes up. In that case the exclusive setup is
locked in its initial state, as the complementary function can't be
activated without disabling the initial setup first.

To avoid this lock situation, reset the exclusive gates to the off
state and allow the kernel to provide the proper setup.

[ Upstream commit 0de263577de5d5e052be5f4f93334e63cc8a7f0b ]

spc5r17.pdf specifies:

  4.3.1 ASCII data field requirements
  ASCII data fields shall contain only ASCII printable characters (i.e.,
  code values 20h to 7Eh) and may be terminated with one or more ASCII null
  (00h) characters.  ASCII data fields described as being left-aligned
  shall have any unused bytes at the end of the field (i.e., highest
  offset) and the unused bytes shall be filled with ASCII space characters
  (20h).

LIO currently space-pads the T10 VENDOR IDENTIFICATION and PRODUCT
IDENTIFICATION fields in the standard INQUIRY data. However, the PRODUCT
REVISION LEVEL field in the standard INQUIRY data as well as the T10 VENDOR
IDENTIFICATION field in the INQUIRY Device Identification VPD Page are
zero-terminated/zero-padded.

Fix this inconsistency by using space-padding for all of the above fields.

[ Upstream commit 2b038cbc5fcf12a7ee1cc9bfd5da1e46dacdee87 ]

When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the
following warning:

   BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
   caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c

   [c000000429437e20] [c00000000000c1d0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c

This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls
get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through
check_preemption_disabled().

Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no
sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the
per CPU data and when it is used.

In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this
code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not
matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when
there is a preemption and a CPU migration).

That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding
the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling
preempt_disable() before get_paca().
