commit db0340182444612bcadb98bdec22f651aa42266c upstream.

The CTA-861 standards have been updated to refer to opRGB instead
of AdobeRGB. The official standard is in fact named opRGB, so
switch to that.

The two old defines referring to ADOBERGB in the public API are
put under #ifndef __KERNEL__ and a comment mentions that they are
deprecated.

commit 7ec2b3b941a666a942859684281b5f6460a0c234 upstream.

If the HDMI cable is disconnected or the CEC adapter is manually
unconfigured, then all pending transmits and wait-for-replies are
aborted. Signal this with new status bits (CEC_RX/TX_STATUS_ABORTED).

If due to (usually) a driver bug a transmit never ends (i.e. the
transmit_done was never called by the driver), then when this times
out the message is marked with CEC_TX_STATUS_TIMEOUT.

This should not happen and is an indication of a driver bug.

Without a separate status bit for this it was impossible to detect
this from userspace.

The 'transmit timed out' kernel message is now a warning, so this
should be more prominent in the kernel log as well.

commit 578bdaabd015b9b164842c3e8ace9802f38e7ecc upstream.

These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by
anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about
its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end
devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before
that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

<title>IB/rxe: Revise the ib_wr_opcode enum</title>

commit 9a59739bd01f77db6fbe2955a4fce165f0f43568 upstream.

This enum has become part of the uABI, as both RXE and the
ib_uverbs_post_send() command expect userspace to supply values from this
enum. So it should be properly placed in include/uapi/rdma.

In userspace this enum is called 'enum ibv_wr_opcode' as part of
libibverbs.h. That enum defines different values for IB_WR_LOCAL_INV,
IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV, and IB_WR_LSO. These were introduced (incorrectly, it
turns out) into libiberbs in 2015.

The kernel has changed its mind on the numbering for several of the IB_WC
values over the years, but has remained stable on IB_WR_LOCAL_INV and
below.

Based on this we can conclude that there is no real user space user of the
values beyond IB_WR_ATOMIC_FETCH_AND_ADD, as they have never worked via
rdma-core. This is confirmed by inspection, only rxe uses the kernel enum
and implements the latter operations. rxe has clearly never worked with
these attributes from userspace. Other drivers that support these opcodes
implement the functionality without calling out to the kernel.

To make IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV and related work for RXE in userspace we
choose to renumber the IB_WR enum in the kernel to match the uABI that
userspace has bee using since before Soft RoCE was merged. This is an
overall simpler configuration for the whole software stack, and obviously
can't break anything existing.

<title>UAPI: ndctl: Fix g++-unsupported initialisation in headers</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9607871f37dc3e717639694b8d0dc738f2a68efc ]

The following code in the linux/ndctl header file:

	static inline const char *nvdimm_bus_cmd_name(unsigned cmd)
	{
		static const char * const names[] = {
			[ND_CMD_ARS_CAP] = "ars_cap",
			[ND_CMD_ARS_START] = "ars_start",
			[ND_CMD_ARS_STATUS] = "ars_status",
			[ND_CMD_CLEAR_ERROR] = "clear_error",
			[ND_CMD_CALL] = "cmd_call",
		};

		if (cmd &lt; ARRAY_SIZE(names) &amp;&amp; names[cmd])
			return names[cmd];
		return "unknown";
	}

is broken in a number of ways:

 (1) ARRAY_SIZE() is not generally defined.

 (2) g++ does not support "non-trivial" array initialisers fully yet.

 (3) Every file that calls this function will acquire a copy of names[].

The same goes for nvdimm_cmd_name().

Fix all three by converting to a switch statement where each case returns a
string.  That way if cmd is a constant, the compiler can trivially reduce it
and, if not, the compiler can use a shared lookup table if it thinks that is
more efficient.

A better way would be to remove these functions and their arrays from the
header entirely.

====================
rxrpc: Fix packet reception code

Here are a set of patches that prepares for and fix problems in rxrpc's
package reception code.  There serious problems are:

 (A) There's a window between binding the socket and setting the data_ready
     hook in which packets can find their way into the UDP socket's receive
     queues.

 (B) The skb_recv_udp() will return an error (and clear the error state) if
     there was an error on the Tx side.  rxrpc doesn't handle this.

 (C) The rxrpc data_ready handler doesn't fully drain the UDP receive
     queue.

 (D) The rxrpc data_ready handler assumes it is called in a non-reentrant
 state.

The second patch fixes (A) - (C); the third patch renders (B) and (C)
non-issues by using the recap_rcv hook instead of data_ready - and the
final patch fixes (D).  That last is the most complex.

The preparatory patches are:

 (1) Fix some places that are doing things in the wrong net namespace.

 (2) Stop taking the rcu read lock as it's held by the IP input routine in
     the call chain.

 (3) Only end the Tx phase if *we* rotated the final packet out of the Tx
     buffer.

 (4) Don't assume that the call state won't change after dropping the
     call_state lock.

 (5) Only take receive window and MTU suze parameters from an ACK packet if
     it's the latest ACK packet.

 (6) Record connection-level abort information correctly.

 (7) Fix a trace line.

And then there are three main patches - note that these are mixed in with
the preparatory patches somewhat:

 (1) Fix the setup window (A), skb_recv_udp() error check (B) and packet
     drainage (C).

 (2) Switch to using the encap_rcv instead of data_ready to cut out the
     effects of the UDP read queues and get the packets delivered directly.

 (3) Add more locking into the various packet input paths to defend against
     re-entrance (D).

====================
rxrpc: Fix packet reception code

Here are a set of patches that prepares for and fix problems in rxrpc's
package reception code.  There serious problems are:

 (A) There's a window between binding the socket and setting the data_ready
     hook in which packets can find their way into the UDP socket's receive
     queues.

 (B) The skb_recv_udp() will return an error (and clear the error state) if
     there was an error on the Tx side.  rxrpc doesn't handle this.

 (C) The rxrpc data_ready handler doesn't fully drain the UDP receive
     queue.

 (D) The rxrpc data_ready handler assumes it is called in a non-reentrant
 state.

The second patch fixes (A) - (C); the third patch renders (B) and (C)
non-issues by using the recap_rcv hook instead of data_ready - and the

<title>rxrpc: Use the UDP encap_rcv hook</title>

Use the UDP encap_rcv hook to cut the bit out of the rxrpc packet reception
in which a packet is placed onto the UDP receive queue and then immediately
removed again by rxrpc.  Going via the queue in this manner seems like it
should be unnecessary.

This does, however, require the invention of a value to place in encap_type
as that's one of the conditions to switch packets out to the encap_rcv
hook.  Possibly the value doesn't actually matter for anything other than
sockopts on the UDP socket, which aren't accessible outside of rxrpc
anyway.

This seems to cut a bit of time out of the time elapsed between each
sk_buff being timestamped and turning up in rxrpc (the final number in the
following trace excerpts).  I measured this by making the rxrpc_rx_packet
trace point print the time elapsed between the skb being timestamped and
the current time (in ns), e.g.:

	... 424.278721: rxrpc_rx_packet: ...  ACK 25026

So doing a 512MiB DIO read from my test server, with an unmodified kernel:

	N       min     max     sum		mean    stddev
	27605   2626    7581    7.83992e+07     2840.04 181.029

and with the patch applied:

	N       min     max     sum		mean    stddev
	27547   1895    12165   6.77461e+07     2459.29 255.02

<title>net/smc: retain old name for diag_mode field</title>

Commit c601171d7a60 ("net/smc: provide smc mode in smc_diag.c") changed
the name of diag_fallback field of struct smc_diag_msg structure
to diag_mode.  However, this structure is a part of UAPI, and this change
breaks user space applications that use it ([1], for example).  Since
the new name is more suitable, convert the field to a union that provides
access to the data via both the new and the old name.
