[ Upstream commit 4f58330fcc8482aa90674e1f40f601e82f18ed4a ]

IOMMU_IOVA is intended to be an optional library for users to select as
and when they desire. Since it can be a module now, this means that
built-in code which has chosen not to select it should not fail to link
if it happens to have selected as a module by someone else. Replace
IS_ENABLED() with IS_REACHABLE() to do the right thing.

[ 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.

[ 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.

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.

commit e77cab77f2cb3a1ca2ba8df4af45bb35617ac16d upstream.

A very common pattern in the drivers is to advance xmit tail
index and do bookkeeping of Tx'ed characters. Create
uart_xmit_advance() to handle it.

<title>fs: only do a memory barrier for the first set_buffer_uptodate()</title>

commit 2f79cdfe58c13949bbbb65ba5926abfe9561d0ec upstream.

Commit d4252071b97d ("add barriers to buffer_uptodate and
set_buffer_uptodate") added proper memory barriers to the buffer head
BH_Uptodate bit, so that anybody who tests a buffer for being up-to-date
will be guaranteed to actually see initialized state.

However, that commit didn't _just_ add the memory barrier, it also ended
up dropping the "was it already set" logic that the BUFFER_FNS() macro
had.

That's conceptually the right thing for a generic "this is a memory
barrier" operation, but in the case of the buffer contents, we really
only care about the memory barrier for the _first_ time we set the bit,
in that the only memory ordering protection we need is to avoid anybody
seeing uninitialized memory contents.

Any other access ordering wouldn't be about the BH_Uptodate bit anyway,
and would require some other proper lock (typically BH_Lock or the folio
lock).  A reader that races with somebody invalidating the buffer head
isn't an issue wrt the memory ordering, it's a serialization issue.

Now, you'd think that the buffer head operations don't matter in this
day and age (and I certainly thought so), but apparently some loads
still end up being heavy users of buffer heads.  In particular, the
kernel test robot reported that not having this bit access optimization
in place caused a noticeable direct IO performance regression on ext4:

  fxmark.ssd_ext4_no_jnl_DWTL_54_directio.works/sec -26.5% regression

although you presumably need a fast disk and a lot of cores to actually
notice.

commit 9c6d778800b921bde3bff3cff5003d1650f942d1 upstream.

Automatic kernel fuzzing revealed a recursive locking violation in
usb-storage:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.18.0 #3 Not tainted

This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
device reset attempt.  That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
its -&gt;remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
reset call within another.

Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
practice at best.  However, the bug report points out that the USB
core does not have any protection against nested resets.  Adding a
reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
future.
