[ Upstream commit 0f08c2e7458e25c967d844170f8ad1aac3b57a02 ]

This is a transitional patch with the ultimate goal of changing the
prototype of usb_maxpacket() from:
| static inline __u16
| usb_maxpacket(struct usb_device *udev, int pipe, int is_out)

into:
| static inline u16 usb_maxpacket(struct usb_device *udev, int pipe)

The third argument of usb_maxpacket(): is_out gets removed because it
can be derived from its second argument: pipe using
usb_pipeout(pipe). Furthermore, in the current version,
ubs_pipeout(pipe) is called regardless in order to sanitize the is_out
parameter.

In order to make a smooth change, we first deprecate the is_out
parameter by simply ignoring it (using a variadic function) and will
remove it later, once all the callers get updated.

The body of the function is reworked accordingly and is_out is
replaced by usb_pipeout(pipe). The WARN_ON() calls become unnecessary
and get removed.

Finally, the return type is changed from __u16 to u16 because this is
not a UAPI function.

<title>ata: libata-scsi: Fix system suspend for a security locked drive</title>

[ Upstream commit b11890683380a36b8488229f818d5e76e8204587 ]

Commit cf3fc037623c ("ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_to_sense_error() status
handling") fixed ata_to_sense_error() to properly generate sense key
ABORTED COMMAND (without any additional sense code), instead of the
previous bogus sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST with the additional sense code
UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND, for a failed command.

However, this broke suspend for Security locked drives (drives that have
Security enabled, and have not been Security unlocked by boot firmware).

The reason for this is that the SCSI disk driver, for the Synchronize
Cache command only, treats any sense data with sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST
as a successful command (regardless of ASC / ASCQ).

After commit cf3fc037623c ("ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_to_sense_error()
status handling") the code that treats any sense data with sense key
ILLEGAL REQUEST as a successful command is no longer applicable, so the
command fails, which causes the system suspend to be aborted:

  sd 1:0:0:0: PM: dpm_run_callback(): scsi_bus_suspend returns -5
  sd 1:0:0:0: PM: failed to suspend async: error -5
  PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected

To make suspend work once again, for a Security locked device only,
return sense data LOGICAL UNIT ACCESS NOT AUTHORIZED, the actual sense
data which a real SCSI device would have returned if locked.
The SCSI disk driver treats this sense data as a successful command.

Kernel panics because it detects UFFD inconsistency during
userfaultfd_release_all().  Specifically, a VMA which has a valid pointer
to vma-&gt;vm_userfaultfd_ctx, but no UFFD flags in vma-&gt;vm_flags.

The inconsistency is caused in ksm_madvise(): when user calls madvise()
with MADV_UNMEARGEABLE on a VMA that is registered for UFFD in MINOR mode,
it accidentally clears all flags stored in the upper 32 bits of
vma-&gt;vm_flags.

Assuming x86_64 kernel build, unsigned long is 64-bit and unsigned int and
int are 32-bit wide.  This setup causes the following mishap during the &amp;=
~VM_MERGEABLE assignment.

VM_MERGEABLE is a 32-bit constant of type unsigned int, 0x8000'0000.
After ~ is applied, it becomes 0x7fff'ffff unsigned int, which is then
promoted to unsigned long before the &amp; operation.  This promotion fills
upper 32 bits with leading 0s, as we're doing unsigned conversion (and
even for a signed conversion, this wouldn't help as the leading bit is 0).
&amp; operation thus ends up AND-ing vm_flags with 0x0000'0000'7fff'ffff
instead of intended 0xffff'ffff'7fff'ffff and hence accidentally clears
the upper 32-bits of its value.

Fix it by changing `VM_MERGEABLE` constant to unsigned long, using the
BIT() macro.

Note: other VM_* flags are not affected: This only happens to the
VM_MERGEABLE flag, as the other VM_* flags are all constants of type int
and after ~ operation, they end up with leading 1 and are thus converted
to unsigned long with leading 1s.

Note 2:
After commit 31defc3b01d9 ("userfaultfd: remove (VM_)BUG_ON()s"), this is
no longer a kernel BUG, but a WARNING at the same place:

[   45.595973] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 2474 at mm/userfaultfd.c:2067

but the root-cause (flag-drop) remains the same.

Per Nathan, clang catches unused "static inline" functions in C files
since commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static
inline functions for W=1 build").

Linus said:

&gt; So I entirely ignore W=1 issues, because I think so many of the extra

&gt;
&gt; But if this one in particular is causing more problems than most -
&gt; some teams do seem to use W=1 as part of their test builds - it's fine
&gt; to send me a patch that just moves bad warnings to W=2.
&gt;
&gt; And if anybody uses W=2 for their test builds, that's THEIR problem..

Here is the change to bump the warning from W=1 to W=2.

[ Upstream commit 66048f8b3cc7e462953c04285183cdee43a1cb89 ]

During recent testing with the netem qdisc to inject delays into TCP
traffic, we observed that our CLS BPF program failed to function correctly
due to incorrect classid retrieval from task_get_classid(). The issue
manifests in the following call stack:

        bpf_get_cgroup_classid+5
        cls_bpf_classify+507
        __tcf_classify+90
        tcf_classify+217
        __dev_queue_xmit+798
        bond_dev_queue_xmit+43
        __bond_start_xmit+211
        bond_start_xmit+70
        dev_hard_start_xmit+142
        sch_direct_xmit+161
        __qdisc_run+102             &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; Issue location
        __dev_xmit_skb+1015
        __dev_queue_xmit+637
        neigh_hh_output+159
        ip_finish_output2+461
        __ip_finish_output+183
        ip_finish_output+41
        ip_output+120
        ip_local_out+94
        __ip_queue_xmit+394
        ip_queue_xmit+21
        __tcp_transmit_skb+2169
        tcp_write_xmit+959
        __tcp_push_pending_frames+55
        tcp_push+264
        tcp_sendmsg_locked+661
        tcp_sendmsg+45
        inet_sendmsg+67
        sock_sendmsg+98
        sock_write_iter+147
        vfs_write+786
        ksys_write+181
        __x64_sys_write+25
        do_syscall_64+56
        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+100

The problem occurs when multiple tasks share a single qdisc. In such cases,
__qdisc_run() may transmit skbs created by different tasks. Consequently,
task_get_classid() retrieves an incorrect classid since it references the
current task's context rather than the skb's originating task.

Given that dev_queue_xmit() always executes with bh disabled, we can use
softirq_count() instead to obtain the correct classid.

The simple steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Add network delay to the network interface:
  such as: tc qdisc add dev bond0 root netem delay 1.5ms
2. Build two distinct net_cls cgroups, each with a network-intensive task
3. Initiate parallel TCP streams from both tasks to external servers.

Under this specific condition, the issue reliably occurs. The kernel
eventually dequeues an SKB that originated from Task-A while executing in
the context of Task-B.

It is worth noting that it will change the established behavior for a
slightly different scenario:

  &lt;sock S is created by task A&gt;
  &lt;class ID for task A is changed&gt;
  &lt;skb is created by sock S xmit and classified&gt;

prior to this patch the skb will be classified with the 'new' task A
classid, now with the old/original one. The bpf_get_cgroup_classid_curr()
function is a more appropriate choice for this case.

[ Upstream commit 21f82062d0f241e55dd59eb630e8710862cc90b4 ]

An exchange with a NFC target must complete within NCI_DATA_TIMEOUT.
A delay of 700 ms is not sufficient for cryptographic operations on smart
cards. CardOS 6.0 may need up to 1.3 seconds to perform 256-bit ECDH
or 3072-bit RSA. To prevent brute-force attacks, passports and similar
documents introduce even longer delays into access control protocols
(BAC/PACE).

The timeout should be higher, but not too much. The expiration allows
us to detect that a NFC target has disappeared.

[ Upstream commit d9a3e9929452780df16f3414f0d59b5f69d058cf ]

This patch modifies the type of setup_xref from void to int and handles
errors since the function can fail.

`setup_xref` now returns the (eventual) error from
`dmae_set_dmars`|`dmae_set_chcr`, while `shdma_tx_submit` handles the
result, removing the chunks from the queue and marking PM as idle in
case of an error.

[ Upstream commit 2caa6b88e0ba0231fb4ff0ba8e73cedd5fb81fc8 ]

In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and
easier to reason about.

commit dd831ac8221e691e9e918585b1003c7071df0379 upstream.

To prevent a potential crash in agg_dequeue (net/sched/sch_qfq.c)
when cl-&gt;qdisc-&gt;ops-&gt;peek(cl-&gt;qdisc) returns NULL, we check the return
value before using it, similar to the existing approach in sch_hfsc.c.

To avoid code duplication, the following changes are made:

1. Changed qdisc_warn_nonwc(include/net/pkt_sched.h) into a static
inline function.

2. Moved qdisc_peek_len from net/sched/sch_hfsc.c to
include/net/pkt_sched.h so that sch_qfq can reuse it.

3. Applied qdisc_peek_len in agg_dequeue to avoid crashing.
