commit d7852fbd0f0423937fa287a598bfde188bb68c22 upstream.

It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
-&gt;cred entirely.  Only -&gt;real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

commit 00289cd87676e14913d2d8492d1ce05c4baafdae upstream.

The libnvdimm subsystem arranges for devices to be destroyed as a result
of a sysfs operation. Since device_unregister() cannot be called from
an actively running sysfs attribute of the same device libnvdimm
arranges for device_unregister() to be performed in an out-of-line async
context.

The driver core maintains a 'dead' state for coordinating its own racing
async registration / de-registration requests. Rather than add local
'dead' state tracking infrastructure to libnvdimm device objects, export
the existing state tracking via a new kill_device() helper.

The kill_device() helper simply marks the device as dead, i.e. that it
is on its way to device_del(), or returns that the device was already
dead. This can be used in advance of calling device_unregister() for
subsystems like libnvdimm that might need to handle multiple user
threads racing to delete a device.

This refactoring does not change any behavior, but it is a pre-requisite
for follow-on fixes and therefore marked for -stable.

commit effa467870c7612012885df4e246bdb8ffd8e44c upstream.

Intel VT-d driver was reworked to use common deferred flushing
implementation. Previously there was one global per-cpu flush queue,
afterwards - one per domain.

Before deferring a flush, the queue should be allocated and initialized.

Currently only domains with IOMMU_DOMAIN_DMA type initialize their flush
queue. It's probably worth to init it for static or unmanaged domains
too, but it may be arguable - I'm leaving it to iommu folks.

Prevent queuing an iova flush if the domain doesn't have a queue.
The defensive check seems to be worth to keep even if queue would be
initialized for all kinds of domains. And is easy backportable.

On 4.19.43 stable kernel it has a user-visible effect: previously for
devices in si domain there were crashes, on sata devices:

commit 22be8233b34f4f468934c5fefcbe6151766fb8f2 upstream.

The V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGRA444 define clashed with the pre-existing V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGRBG12
which strangely enough used the same fourcc, even though that fourcc made no sense
for a Bayer format. In any case, you can't have duplicates, so change the fourcc of
V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGRA444.

commit 22be8233b34f4f468934c5fefcbe6151766fb8f2 upstream.

The V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGRA444 define clashed with the pre-existing V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGRBG12
which strangely enough used the same fourcc, even though that fourcc made no sense
for a Bayer format. In any case, you can't have duplicates, so change the fourcc of
V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGRA444.

[ Upstream commit eb085574a7526c4375965c5fbf7e5b0c19cdd336 ]

When swapin is performed, after getting the swap entry information from
the page table, system will swap in the swap entry, without any lock held
to prevent the swap device from being swapoff.  This may cause the race
like below,

CPU 1				CPU 2
-----				-----
				do_swap_page
				  swapin_readahead
				    __read_swap_cache_async
swapoff				      swapcache_prepare
  p-&gt;swap_map = NULL		        __swap_duplicate
					  p-&gt;swap_map[?] /* !!! NULL pointer access */

Because swapoff is usually done when system shutdown only, the race may
not hit many people in practice.  But it is still a race need to be fixed.

To fix the race, get_swap_device() is added to check whether the specified
swap entry is valid in its swap device.  If so, it will keep the swap
entry valid via preventing the swap device from being swapoff, until
put_swap_device() is called.

Because swapoff() is very rare code path, to make the normal path runs as
fast as possible, rcu_read_lock/unlock() and synchronize_rcu() instead of
reference count is used to implement get/put_swap_device().  &gt;From
get_swap_device() to put_swap_device(), RCU reader side is locked, so
synchronize_rcu() in swapoff() will wait until put_swap_device() is
called.

In addition to swap_map, cluster_info, etc.  data structure in the struct
swap_info_struct, the swap cache radix tree will be freed after swapoff,
so this patch fixes the race between swap cache looking up and swapoff
too.

Races between some other swap cache usages and swapoff are fixed too via
calling synchronize_rcu() between clearing PageSwapCache() and freeing
swap cache data structure.

Another possible method to fix this is to use preempt_off() +
stop_machine() to prevent the swap device from being swapoff when its data
structure is being accessed.  The overhead in hot-path of both methods is
similar.  The advantages of RCU based method are,

1. stop_machine() may disturb the normal execution code path on other
   CPUs.

2. File cache uses RCU to protect its radix tree.  If the similar
   mechanism is used for swap cache too, it is easier to share code
   between them.

3. RCU is used to protect swap cache in total_swapcache_pages() and
   exit_swap_address_space() already.  The two mechanisms can be
   merged to simplify the logic.

[ Upstream commit 6d7c3cde93c1d9ac0b37f78ec3f2ff052159a242 ]

mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is not a fence and the mmu_notifier
system will continue to reference hmm-&gt;mn until the srcu grace period
expires.

Resulting in use after free races like this:

         CPU0                                     CPU1
                                               __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
                                                 srcu_read_lock
                                                 hlist_for_each ()
                                                   // mn == hmm-&gt;mn
hmm_mirror_unregister()
  hmm_put()
    hmm_free()
      mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release()
         hlist_del_init_rcu(hmm-mn-&gt;list)
			                           mn-&gt;ops-&gt;invalidate_range_start(mn, range);
					             mm_get_hmm()
      mm-&gt;hmm = NULL;
      kfree(hmm)
                                                     mutex_lock(&amp;hmm-&gt;lock);

Use SRCU to kfree the hmm memory so that the notifiers can rely on hmm
existing. Get the now-safe hmm struct through container_of and directly
check kref_get_unless_zero to lock it against free.

[ Upstream commit 1e390478cfb527e34c9ab89ba57212cb05c33c51 ]

Recent versions of the DMA API debug code have started to warn about
violations of the maximum DMA segment size. This is because the segment
size defaults to 64 KiB, which can easily be exceeded in large buffer
allocations such as used in DRM/KMS for framebuffers.

Technically the Tegra SMMU and ARM SMMU don't have a maximum segment
size (they map individual pages irrespective of whether they are
contiguous or not), so the choice of 4 MiB is a bit arbitrary here. The
maximum segment size is a 32-bit unsigned integer, though, so we can't
set it to the correct maximum size, which would be the size of the
aperture.

<title>jbd2: introduce jbd2_inode dirty range scoping</title>

commit 6ba0e7dc64a5adcda2fbe65adc466891795d639e upstream.

Currently both journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() operate on the entire address space
of each of the inodes associated with a given journal entry.  The
consequence of this is that if we have an inode where we are constantly
appending dirty pages we can end up waiting for an indefinite amount of
time in journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() while we wait for all the
pages under writeback to be written out.

The easiest way to cause this type of workload is do just dd from
/dev/zero to a file until it fills the entire filesystem.  This can
cause journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() to wait for the duration of
the entire dd operation.

We can improve this situation by scoping each of the inode dirty ranges
associated with a given transaction.  We do this via the jbd2_inode
structure so that the scoping is contained within jbd2 and so that it
follows the lifetime and locking rules for that structure.

This allows us to limit the writeback &amp; wait in
journal_submit_inode_data_buffers() and
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() respectively to the dirty range for
a given struct jdb2_inode, keeping us from waiting forever if the inode
in question is still being appended to.
