[ Upstream commit 5a3da1fe9561828d0ca7eca664b16ec2b9bf0055 ]

This patch introduces a constant limit of the fragment queue hash
table bucket list lengths. Currently the limit 128 is choosen somewhat
arbitrary and just ensures that we can fill up the fragment cache with
empty packets up to the default ip_frag_high_thresh limits. It should
just protect from list iteration eating considerable amounts of cpu.

If we reach the maximum length in one hash bucket a warning is printed.
This is implemented on the caller side of inet_frag_find to distinguish
between the different users of inet_fragment.c.

I dropped the out of memory warning in the ipv4 fragment lookup path,
because we already get a warning by the slab allocator.

[ Upstream commit 1e8bbe6cd02fc300c88bd48244ce61ad9c7d1776 ]

commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if
the cdc_mbim driver was enabled.  This caused a regression for users
wanting to use NCM.

Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section
3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single
USB function, using different altsettings.  The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim
drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common
policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM.  Until now, this policy has
been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.

Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the
user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.

<title>skb: Propagate pfmemalloc on skb from head page only</title>

[ Upstream commit cca7af3889bfa343d33d5e657a38d876abd10e58 ]

Hi.

I'm trying to send big chunks of memory from application address space via
TCP socket using vmsplice + splice like this

   mem = mmap(128Mb);
   vmsplice(pipe[1], mem); /* splice memory into pipe */
   splice(pipe[0], tcp_socket); /* send it into network */

When I'm lucky and a huge page splices into the pipe and then into the socket
_and_ client and server ends of the TCP connection are on the same host,
communicating via lo, the whole connection gets stuck! The sending queue
becomes full and app stops writing/splicing more into it, but the receiving
queue remains empty, and that's why.

The __skb_fill_page_desc observes a tail page of a huge page and erroneously
propagates its page-&gt;pfmemalloc value onto socket (the pfmemalloc on tail pages
contain garbage). Then this skb-&gt;pfmemalloc leaks through lo and due to the

    tcp_v4_rcv
    sk_filter
        if (skb-&gt;pfmemalloc &amp;&amp; !sock_flag(sk, SOCK_MEMALLOC)) /* true */
            return -ENOMEM
        goto release_and_discard;

no packets reach the socket. Even TCP re-transmits are dropped by this, as skb
cloning clones the pfmemalloc flag as well.

That said, here's the proper page-&gt;pfmemalloc propagation onto socket: we
must check the huge-page's head page only, other pages' pfmemalloc and mapping
values do not contain what is expected in this place. However, I'm not sure
whether this fix is _complete_, since pfmemalloc propagation via lo also
oesn't look great.

Both, bit propagation from page to skb and this check in sk_filter, were
introduced by c48a11c7 (netvm: propagate page-&gt;pfmemalloc to skb), in v3.5 so
Mel and stable@ are in Cc.

[ Upstream commit 16fad69cfe4adbbfa813de516757b87bcae36d93 ]

Chrome OS team reported a crash on a Pixel ChromeBook in TCP stack :

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=182056

commit a21d45726acac (tcp: avoid order-1 allocations on wifi and tx
path) did a poor choice adding an 'avail_size' field to skb, while
what we really needed was a 'reserved_tailroom' one.

It would have avoided commit 22b4a4f22da (tcp: fix retransmit of
partially acked frames) and this commit.

Crash occurs because skb_split() is not aware of the 'avail_size'
management (and should not be aware)

    [IPV4]: Unify access to the routing tables.

the defenition of FIB_HASH_TABLE size has obtained wrong dependency:
it should depend upon CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES (as was in the original
code) but it was depended from CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH

This patch returns the situation to the original state.

Fix regression introduced by commit 787f9fd23283 ("atmel_lcdfb: support
16bit BGR:565 mode, remove unsupported 15bit modes") which broke 16-bpp
modes for older SOCs which use IBGR:555 (msb is intensity) rather
than BGR:565.

Use SOC-type to determine the pixel layout.

commit 5bc7c33ca93a285dcfe7b7fd64970f6314440ad1 upstream.

This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc2ae83734e64e206ac99766ea19e9a14e
("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY").

In that patch I overlooked a few things.

The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...

So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...

So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

commit 6c4d3bc99b3341067775efd4d9d13cc8e655fd7c upstream.

Commit 1d9d8639c063 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after
suspend/resume") introduces a link failure since
perf_restore_debug_store() is only defined for CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL:

	arch/x86/power/built-in.o: In function `restore_processor_state':
	(.text+0x45c): undefined reference to `perf_restore_debug_store'

Fix it by defining the dummy function appropriately.

commit 1d9d8639c063caf6efc2447f5f26aa637f844ff6 upstream.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS)
after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked
on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly
by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS
measurement to crash when running on CPU0.

The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore
the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0,
the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.
