commit 7b5967389f5a8dfb9d32843830f5e2717e20995d upstream.

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted
by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message:

"We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the
same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was
enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the
one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly.

We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size
which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is
used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large,
it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer
was completely empty."

We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries
environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum
field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum
offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS.

Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer.
This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix when to save some qp context flags for dynamic VST to VGT transitions</title>

commit 7c3945bc2073554bb2ecf983e073dee686679c53 upstream.

Save the qp context flags byte containing the flag disabling vlan stripping
in the RESET to INIT qp transition, rather than in the INIT to RTR
transition. Per the firmware spec, the flags in this byte are active
in the RESET to INIT transition.

As a result of saving the flags in the incorrect qp transition, when
switching dynamically from VGT to VST and back to VGT, the vlan
remained stripped (as is required for VST) and did not return to
not-stripped (as is required for VGT).

<title>net/mlx4_core: Fix racy CQ (Completion Queue) free</title>

commit 291c566a28910614ce42d0ffe82196eddd6346f4 upstream.

In function mlx4_cq_completion() and mlx4_cq_event(), the
radix_tree_lookup requires a rcu_read_lock.
This is mandatory: if another core frees the CQ, it could
run the radix_tree_node_rcu_free() call_rcu() callback while
its being used by the radix tree lookup function.

Additionally, in function mlx4_cq_event(), since we are adding
the rcu lock around the radix-tree lookup, we no longer need to take
the spinlock. Also, the synchronize_irq() call for the async event
eliminates the need for incrementing the cq reference count in
mlx4_cq_event().

Other changes:
1. In function mlx4_cq_free(), replace spin_lock_irq with spin_lock:
   we no longer take this spinlock in the interrupt context.
   The spinlock here, therefore, simply protects against different
   threads simultaneously invoking mlx4_cq_free() for different cq's.

2. In function mlx4_cq_free(), we move the radix tree delete to before
   the synchronize_irq() calls. This guarantees that we will not
   access this cq during any subsequent interrupts, and therefore can
   safely free the CQ after the synchronize_irq calls. The rcu_read_lock
   in the interrupt handlers only needs to protect against corrupting the
   radix tree; the interrupt handlers may access the cq outside the
   rcu_read_lock due to the synchronize_irq calls which protect against
   premature freeing of the cq.

3. In function mlx4_cq_event(), we change the mlx_warn message to mlx4_dbg.

4. We leave the cq reference count mechanism in place, because it is
   still needed for the cq completion tasklet mechanism.

<title>usb: hub: Wait for connection to be reestablished after port reset</title>

commit 22547c4cc4fe20698a6a85a55b8788859134b8e4 upstream.

On a system with a defective USB device connected to an USB hub,
an endless sequence of port connect events was observed. The sequence
of events as observed is as follows:

- Port reports connected event (port status=USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION).
- Event handler debounces port and resets it by calling hub_port_reset().
- hub_port_reset() calls hub_port_wait_reset() to wait for the reset
  to complete.
- The reset completes, but USB_PORT_STAT_CONNECTION is not immediately
  set in the port status register.
- hub_port_wait_reset() returns -ENOTCONN.
- Port initialization sequence is aborted.
- A few milliseconds later, the port again reports a connected event,
  and the sequence repeats.

This continues either forever or, randomly, stops if the connection
is already re-established when the port status is read. It results in
a high rate of udev events. This in turn destabilizes userspace since
the above sequence holds the device mutex pretty much continuously
and prevents userspace from actually reading the device status.

To prevent the problem from happening, let's wait for the connection
to be re-established after a port reset. If the device was actually
disconnected, the code will still return an error, but it will do so
only after the long reset timeout.

RNG instantiation was previously fixed by
commit 62743a4145bb9 ("crypto: caam - fix RNG init descriptor ret. code checking")
while deinstantiation was not addressed.

Since the descriptors used are similar, in the sense that they both end
with a JUMP HALT command, checking for errors should be similar too,
i.e. status code 7000_0000h should be considered successful.

commit bd5d21310133921021d78995ad6346f908483124 upstream.

After parsing TRX we should skip to the first block placed behind it.
Our code was working only with TRX with length not aligned to the
blocksize. In other cases (length aligned) it was missing the block
places right after TRX.

This fixes calculation and simplifies the comment.

In the case of bounced ep0 requests, we must delay DMA operation until
after -&gt;complete() otherwise we might overwrite contents of req-&gt;buf.

This caused problems with RNDIS gadget.

<title>drm/i915: Stop using RP_DOWN_EI on Baytrail</title>

commit 8f68d591d4765b2e1ce9d916ac7bc5583285c4ad upstream.

On Baytrail, we manually calculate busyness over the evaluation interval
to avoid issues with miscaluations with RC6 enabled. However, it turns
out that the DOWN_EI interrupt generator is completely bust - it
operates in two modes, continuous or never. Neither of which are
conducive to good behaviour. Stop unmask the DOWN_EI interrupt and just
compute everything from the UP_EI which does seem to correspond to the
desired interval.

v2: Fixup gen6_rps_pm_mask() as well
v3: Inline vlv_c0_above() to combine the now identical elapsed
calculation for up/down and simplify the threshold testing

Fixes: 43cf3bf084ba ("drm/i915: Improved w/a for rps on Baytrail")

<title>drm/i915: Avoid tweaking evaluation thresholds on Baytrail v3</title>

commit 34dc8993eef63681b062871413a9484008a2a78f upstream.

Certain Baytrails, namely the 4 cpu core variants, have been
plaqued by spurious system hangs, mostly occurring with light loads.

Multiple bisects by various people point to a commit which changes the
reclocking strategy for Baytrail to follow its bigger brethen:
commit 8fb55197e64d ("drm/i915: Agressive downclocking on Baytrail")

There is also a review comment attached to this commit from Deepak S
on avoiding punit access on Cherryview and thus it was excluded on
common reclocking path. By taking the same approach and omitting
the punit access by not tweaking the thresholds when the hardware
has been asked to move into different frequency, considerable gains
in stability have been observed.

With J1900 box, light render/video load would end up in system hang
in usually less than 12 hours. With this patch applied, the cumulative
uptime has now been 34 days without issues. To provoke system hang,
light loads on both render and bsd engines in parallel have been used:
glxgears &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;/dev/null &amp;
mpv --vo=vaapi --hwdec=vaapi --loop=inf vid.mp4

So far, author has not witnessed system hang with above load
and this patch applied. Reports from the tenacious people at
kernel bugzilla are also promising.

Considering that the punit access frequency with this patch is
considerably less, there is a possibility that this will push
the, still unknown, root cause past the triggering point on most loads.

But as we now can reliably reproduce the hang independently,
we can reduce the pain that users are having and use a
static thresholds until a root cause is found.

v3: don't break debugfs and simplification (Chris Wilson)
