commit b9a49520679e98700d3d89689cc91c08a1c88c1d upstream.

Kernel test robot reported an "imbalanced put" in the rcuref_put() slow
path, which turned out to be a false positive. Consider the following race:

            ref  = 0 (via rcuref_init(ref, 1))
 T1                                      T2
 rcuref_put(ref)
 -&gt; atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref)                                         # ref -&gt; 0xffffffff
 -&gt; rcuref_put_slowpath(ref)
                                         rcuref_get(ref)
                                         -&gt; atomic_add_negative_relaxed(1, &amp;ref-&gt;refcnt)
                                           -&gt; return true;                       # ref -&gt; 0

                                         rcuref_put(ref)
                                         -&gt; atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref) # ref -&gt; 0xffffffff
                                         -&gt; rcuref_put_slowpath()

    -&gt; cnt = atomic_read(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt);                                          # cnt -&gt; 0xffffffff / RCUREF_NOREF
    -&gt; atomic_try_cmpxchg_release(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt, &amp;cnt, RCUREF_DEAD))              # ref -&gt; 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD
       -&gt; return true
                                           -&gt; cnt = atomic_read(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt);   # cnt -&gt; 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD
                                           -&gt; if (cnt &gt; RCUREF_RELEASED)         # 0xe0000000 &gt; 0xc0000000
                                             -&gt; WARN_ONCE(cnt &gt;= RCUREF_RELEASED, "rcuref - imbalanced put()")

The problem is the additional read in the slow path (after it
decremented to RCUREF_NOREF) which can happen after the counter has been
marked RCUREF_DEAD.

Prevent this by reusing the return value of the decrement. Now every "final"
put uses RCUREF_NOREF in the slow path and attempts the final cmpxchg() to
RCUREF_DEAD.

If rpc_signal_task() is called while a task is in an rpc_call_done()
callback function, and the latter calls rpc_restart_call(), the task can
end up looping due to the RPC_TASK_SIGNALLED flag being set without the
tk_rpc_status being set.
Removing the redundant mechanism for signalling the task fixes the
looping behaviour.

[ Upstream commit 0b108e83795c9c23101f584ef7e3ab4f1f120ef0 ]

The RPC_TASK_* constants are defined as macros, which means that most
kernel builds will not contain their definitions in the debuginfo.
However, it's quite useful for debuggers to be able to view the task
state constant and interpret it correctly. Conversion to an enum will
ensure the constants are present in debuginfo and can be interpreted by
debuggers without needing to hard-code them and track their changes.

<title>bpf: Fix wrong copied_seq calculation</title>

[ Upstream commit 36b62df5683c315ba58c950f1a9c771c796c30ec ]

'sk-&gt;copied_seq' was updated in the tcp_eat_skb() function when the action
of a BPF program was SK_REDIRECT. For other actions, like SK_PASS, the
update logic for 'sk-&gt;copied_seq' was moved to tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()
to ensure the accuracy of the 'fionread' feature.

It works for a single stream_verdict scenario, as it also modified
sk_data_ready-&gt;sk_psock_verdict_data_ready-&gt;tcp_read_skb
to remove updating 'sk-&gt;copied_seq'.

However, for programs where both stream_parser and stream_verdict are
active (strparser purpose), tcp_read_sock() was used instead of
tcp_read_skb() (sk_data_ready-&gt;strp_data_ready-&gt;tcp_read_sock).
tcp_read_sock() now still updates 'sk-&gt;copied_seq', leading to duplicate
updates.

In summary, for strparser + SK_PASS, copied_seq is redundantly calculated
in both tcp_read_sock() and tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser().

The issue causes incorrect copied_seq calculations, which prevent
correct data reads from the recv() interface in user-land.

We do not want to add new proto_ops to implement a new version of
tcp_read_sock, as this would introduce code complexity [1].

We could have added noack and copied_seq to desc, and then called
ops-&gt;read_sock. However, unfortunately, other modules didn’t fully
initialize desc to zero. So, for now, we are directly calling
tcp_read_sock_noack() in tcp_bpf.c.

[ Upstream commit 4b5a28b38c4a0106c64416a1b2042405166b26ce ]

Add dedicated helper for finding devices by hardware address when
holding rtnl_lock, similar to existing dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu(). This prevents
PROVE_LOCKING warnings when rtnl_lock is held but RCU read lock is not.

Extract common address comparison logic into dev_addr_cmp().

[ Upstream commit 1172460e716784ac7e1049a537bdca8edbf97360 ]

This hook is meant to be used by any provider and instantiating a layout
just for this is useless. Let's instead move this hook to the nvmem
device and add it to the config structure to be easily shared by the
providers.

While at moving this hook, rename it -&gt;fixup_dt_cell_info() to clarify
its main intended purpose.

[ Upstream commit 1172460e716784ac7e1049a537bdca8edbf97360 ]

This hook is meant to be used by any provider and instantiating a layout
just for this is useless. Let's instead move this hook to the nvmem
device and add it to the config structure to be easily shared by the
providers.

While at moving this hook, rename it -&gt;fixup_dt_cell_info() to clarify
its main intended purpose.

The layout entry is not used and will anyway be made useless by the new
layout bus infrastructure coming next, so drop it. While at it, clarify
the kdoc entry.

[ Upstream commit 0e45a09a1da0872786885c505467aab8fb29b5b4 ]

serio_pause_rx() and serio_continue_rx() are usually used together to
temporarily stop receiving interrupts/data for a given serio port.
Define "serio_pause_rx" guard for this so that the port is always
resumed once critical section is over.

Example:

	scoped_guard(serio_pause_rx, elo-&gt;serio) {
		elo-&gt;expected_packet = toupper(packet[0]);
		init_completion(&amp;elo-&gt;cmd_done);
	}

commit 70e6b7d9ae3c63df90a7bba7700e8d5c300c3c60 upstream.

Leaving the PIT interrupt running can cause noticeable steal time for
virtual guests. The VMM generally has a timer which toggles the IRQ input
to the PIC and I/O APIC, which takes CPU time away from the guest. Even
on real hardware, running the counter may use power needlessly (albeit
not much).

Make sure it's turned off if it isn't going to be used.

[ Upstream commit 482ad2a4ace2740ca0ff1cbc8f3c7f862f3ab507 ]

dev-&gt;nd_net can change, readers should either
use rcu_read_lock() or RTNL.

We currently use a generic helper, dev_net() with
no debugging support. We probably have many hidden bugs.

Add dev_net_rcu() helper for callers using rcu_read_lock()
protection.
