[ Upstream commit 1306d5362a591493a2d07f685ed2cc480dcda320 ]

Add a new netdev op called ndo_fdb_del_bulk, it will be later used for
driver-specific bulk delete implementation dispatched from rtnetlink. The
first user will be the bridge, we need it to signal to rtnetlink from
the driver that we support bulk delete operation (NLM_F_BULK).

<title>driver core/PM: Set power.no_callbacks along with power.no_pm</title>

commit c2ce2453413d429e302659abc5ace634e873f6f5 upstream.

Devices with power.no_pm set are not expected to need any power
management at all, so modify device_set_pm_not_required() to set
power.no_callbacks for them too in case runtime PM will be enabled
for any of them (which in principle may be done for convenience if
such a device participates in a dependency chain).

Since device_set_pm_not_required() must be called before device_add()
or it would not have any effect, it can update power.no_callbacks
without locking, unlike pm_runtime_no_callbacks() that can be called
after registering the target device.

<title>genirq: Provide new interfaces for affinity hints</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 65c7cdedeb3026fabcc967a7aae2f755ad4d0783 ]

The discussion about removing the side effect of irq_set_affinity_hint() of
actually applying the cpumask (if not NULL) as affinity to the interrupt,
unearthed a few unpleasantries:

  1) The modular perf drivers rely on the current behaviour for the very
     wrong reasons.

  2) While none of the other drivers prevents user space from changing
     the affinity, a cursorily inspection shows that there are at least
     expectations in some drivers.

#1 needs to be cleaned up anyway, so that's not a problem

#2 might result in subtle regressions especially when irqbalanced (which
   nowadays ignores the affinity hint) is disabled.

Provide new interfaces:

  irq_update_affinity_hint()  - Only sets the affinity hint pointer
  irq_set_affinity_and_hint() - Set the pointer and apply the affinity to
                                the interrupt

Make irq_set_affinity_hint() a wrapper around irq_apply_affinity_hint() and
document it to be phased out.

Perf modules abuse irq_set_affinity_hint() to set the affinity of system
PMU interrupts just because irq_set_affinity() was not exported.

The fact that irq_set_affinity_hint() actually sets the affinity is a
non-documented side effect and the name is clearly saying it's a hint.

To clean this up, export the real affinity setter.

[ Upstream commit 1d3aec89286254487df7641c30f1b14ad1d127a5 ]

Add a function to allow the affinity of an interrupt be switched to
managed, such that interrupts allocated for platform devices may be
managed.

This new interface has certain limitations, and attempts to use it in the
following circumstances will fail:
- For when the kernel is configured for generic IRQ reservation mode (in
  config GENERIC_IRQ_RESERVATION_MODE). The reason being that it could
  conflict with managed vs. non-managed interrupt accounting.
- The interrupt is already started, which should not be the case during
  init
- The interrupt is already configured as managed, which means double init

[ Upstream commit ec79003c5f9d2c7f9576fc69b8dbda80305cbe3a ]

syzbot reported the splat below. [0]

When atmtcp_v_open() or atmtcp_v_close() is called via connect()
or close(), atmtcp_send_control() is called to send an in-kernel
special message.

The message has ATMTCP_HDR_MAGIC in atmtcp_control.hdr.length.
Also, a pointer of struct atm_vcc is set to atmtcp_control.vcc.

The notable thing is struct atmtcp_control is uAPI but has a
space for an in-kernel pointer.

  struct atmtcp_control {
  	struct atmtcp_hdr hdr;	/* must be first */
  ...
  	atm_kptr_t vcc;		/* both directions */
  ...
  } __ATM_API_ALIGN;

  typedef struct { unsigned char _[8]; } __ATM_API_ALIGN atm_kptr_t;

The special message is processed in atmtcp_recv_control() called
from atmtcp_c_send().

atmtcp_c_send() is vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send() and called from 2 paths:

  1. .ndo_start_xmit() (vcc-&gt;send() == atm_send_aal0())
  2. vcc_sendmsg()

The problem is sendmsg() does not validate the message length and
userspace can abuse atmtcp_recv_control() to overwrite any kptr
by atmtcp_control.

Let's add a new -&gt;pre_send() hook to validate messages from sendmsg().

[ Upstream commit ec79003c5f9d2c7f9576fc69b8dbda80305cbe3a ]

syzbot reported the splat below. [0]

When atmtcp_v_open() or atmtcp_v_close() is called via connect()
or close(), atmtcp_send_control() is called to send an in-kernel
special message.

The message has ATMTCP_HDR_MAGIC in atmtcp_control.hdr.length.
Also, a pointer of struct atm_vcc is set to atmtcp_control.vcc.

The notable thing is struct atmtcp_control is uAPI but has a
space for an in-kernel pointer.

  struct atmtcp_control {
  	struct atmtcp_hdr hdr;	/* must be first */
  ...
  	atm_kptr_t vcc;		/* both directions */
  ...
  } __ATM_API_ALIGN;

  typedef struct { unsigned char _[8]; } __ATM_API_ALIGN atm_kptr_t;

The special message is processed in atmtcp_recv_control() called
from atmtcp_c_send().

atmtcp_c_send() is vcc-&gt;dev-&gt;ops-&gt;send() and called from 2 paths:

  1. .ndo_start_xmit() (vcc-&gt;send() == atm_send_aal0())
  2. vcc_sendmsg()

The problem is sendmsg() does not validate the message length and
userspace can abuse atmtcp_recv_control() to overwrite any kptr
by atmtcp_control.

Let's add a new -&gt;pre_send() hook to validate messages from sendmsg().

commit 17f46b803d4f23c66cacce81db35fef3adb8f2af upstream.

In production we have been hitting the following warning consistently

This is because we're completing the nfs_direct_request twice in a row.

The source of this is when we have our commit requests to submit, we
process them and send them off, and then in the completion path for the
commit requests we have

if (nfs_commit_end(cinfo.mds))
	nfs_direct_write_complete(dreq);

However since we're submitting asynchronous requests we sometimes have
one that completes before we submit the next one, so we end up calling
complete on the nfs_direct_request twice.

The only other place we use nfs_generic_commit_list() is in
__nfs_commit_inode, which wraps this call in a

nfs_commit_begin();
nfs_commit_end();

Which is a common pattern for this style of completion handling, one
that is also repeated in the direct code with get_dreq()/put_dreq()
calls around where we process events as well as in the completion paths.

Fix this by using the same pattern for the commit requests.

Before with my 200 node rocksdb stress running this warning would pop
every 10ish minutes.  With my patch the stress test has been running for
several hours without popping.

commit 133a48abf6ecc535d7eddc6da1c3e4c972445882 upstream.

If O_DIRECT bumps the commit_info rpcs_out field, then that could lead
to fsync() hangs. The fix is to ensure that O_DIRECT calls
nfs_commit_end().
