[ Upstream commit 2e41f274f9aa71cdcc69dc1f26a3f9304a651804 ]

Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute
files".

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative
value.

This patch (of 3):

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.

This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

<title>timerqueue: Use rb_entry_safe() in timerqueue_getnext()</title>

[ Upstream commit 2f117484329b233455ee278f2d9b0a4356835060 ]

When `timerqueue_getnext()` is called on an empty timer queue, it will
use `rb_entry()` on a NULL pointer, which is invalid. Fix that by using
`rb_entry_safe()` which handles NULL pointers.

This has not caused any issues so far because the offset of the `rb_node`
member in `timerqueue_node` is 0, so `rb_entry()` is essentially a no-op.

[ Upstream commit 630624cb1b5826d753ac8e01a0e42de43d66dedf ]

ACS-5 section
7.13.6.36 Word 78: Serial ATA features supported
states that:

If word 76 is not 0000h or FFFFh, word 78 reports the features supported
by the device. If this word is not supported, the word shall be cleared
to zero.

(This text also exists in really old ACS standards, e.g. ACS-3.)

The problem with ata_id_has_dipm() is that the while it performs a
check against 0 and 0xffff, it performs the check against
ATA_ID_FEATURE_SUPP (word 78), the same word where the feature bit
is stored.

Fix this by performing the check against ATA_ID_SATA_CAPABILITY
(word 76), like required by the spec. The feature bit check itself
is of course still performed against ATA_ID_FEATURE_SUPP (word 78).

Additionally, move the macro to the other ATA_ID_FEATURE_SUPP macros
(which already have this check), thus making it more likely that the
next ATA_ID_FEATURE_SUPP macro that is added will include this check.

ACS-5 section
7.13.6.41 Words 85..87, 120: Commands and feature sets supported or enabled
states that:

If bit 15 of word 86 is set to one, bit 14 of word 119 is set to one,
and bit 15 of word 119 is cleared to zero, then word 119 is valid.

If bit 15 of word 86 is set to one, bit 14 of word 120 is set to one,
and bit 15 of word 120 is cleared to zero, then word 120 is valid.

(This text also exists in really old ACS standards, e.g. ACS-3.)

Currently, ata_id_sense_reporting_enabled() and
ata_id_has_sense_reporting() both check bit 15 of word 86,
but neither of them check that bit 14 of word 119 is set to one,
or that bit 15 of word 119 is cleared to zero.

Additionally, make ata_id_sense_reporting_enabled() return false
if !ata_id_has_sense_reporting(), similar to how e.g.
ata_id_flush_ext_enabled() returns false if !ata_id_has_flush_ext().

If bit 15 of word 86 is set to one, bit 14 of word 119 is set to one,
and bit 15 of word 119 is cleared to zero, then word 119 is valid.

If bit 15 of word 86 is set to one, bit 14 of word 120 is set to one,
and bit 15 of word 120 is cleared to zero, then word 120 is valid.

(This text also exists in really old ACS standards, e.g. ACS-3.)

Currently, ata_id_sense_reporting_enabled() and
ata_id_has_sense_reporting() both check bit 15 of word 86,
but neither of them check that bit 14 of word 119 is set to one,
or that bit 15 of word 119 is cleared to zero.

Additionally, make ata_id_sense_reporting_enabled() return false
if !ata_id_has_sense_reporting(), similar to how e.g.
ata_id_flush_ext_enabled() returns false if !ata_id_has_flush_ext().

[ Upstream commit 85d6b66d31c35158364058ee98fb69ab5bb6a6b1 ]

For CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=N, the ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb()
stub-fn is too permissive:

bash-5.1# modprobe drm JUNKdyndbg
bash-5.1# modprobe drm dyndbgJUNK
[   42.933220] dyndbg param is supported only in CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds
[   42.937484] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered

This caused no ill effects, because unknown parameters are either
ignored by default with an "unknown parameter" warning, or ignored
because dyndbg allows its no-effect use on non-dyndbg builds.

But since the code has an explicit feedback message, it should be
issued accurately.  Fix with strcmp for exact param-name match.

<title>tcp: fix tcp_cwnd_validate() to not forget is_cwnd_limited</title>

[ Upstream commit f4ce91ce12a7c6ead19b128ffa8cff6e3ded2a14 ]

This commit fixes a bug in the tracking of max_packets_out and
is_cwnd_limited. This bug can cause the connection to fail to remember
that is_cwnd_limited is true, causing the connection to fail to grow
cwnd when it should, causing throughput to be lower than it should be.

The following event sequence is an example that triggers the bug:

 (a) The connection is cwnd_limited, but packets_out is not at its
     peak due to TSO deferral deciding not to send another skb yet.
     In such cases the connection can advance max_packets_seq and set
     tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited to true and max_packets_out to a small
     number.

(b) Then later in the round trip the connection is pacing-limited (not
     cwnd-limited), and packets_out is larger. In such cases the
     connection would raise max_packets_out to a bigger number but
     (unexpectedly) flip tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited from true to false.

This commit fixes that bug.

One straightforward fix would be to separately track (a) the next
window after max_packets_out reaches a maximum, and (b) the next
window after tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited is set to true. But this would
require consuming an extra u32 sequence number.

Instead, to save space we track only the most important
information. Specifically, we track the strongest available signal of
the degree to which the cwnd is fully utilized:

(1) If the connection is cwnd-limited then we remember that fact for
the current window.

(2) If the connection not cwnd-limited then we track the maximum
number of outstanding packets in the current window.

In particular, note that the new logic cannot trigger the buggy
(a)/(b) sequence above because with the new logic a condition where
tp-&gt;packets_out &gt; tp-&gt;max_packets_out can only trigger an update of
tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited if tp-&gt;is_cwnd_limited is false.

This first showed up in a testing of a BBRv2 dev branch, but this
buggy behavior highlighted a general issue with the
tcp_cwnd_validate() logic that can cause cwnd to fail to increase at
the proper rate for any TCP congestion control, including Reno or
CUBIC.
