commit 62d9f1a6945ba69c125e548e72a36d203b30596e upstream.

Upon receiving a cumulative ACK that changes the congestion state from
Disorder to Open, the TLP timer is not set. If the sender is app-limited,
it can only wait for the RTO timer to expire and retransmit.

The reason for this is that the TLP timer is set before the congestion
state changes in tcp_ack(), so we delay the time point of calling
tcp_set_xmit_timer() until after tcp_fastretrans_alert() returns and
remove the FLAG_SET_XMIT_TIMER from ack_flag when the RACK reorder timer
is set.

This commit has two additional benefits:
1) Make sure to reset RTO according to RFC6298 when receiving ACK, to
avoid spurious RTO caused by RTO timer early expires.
2) Reduce the xmit timer reschedule once per ACK when the RACK reorder
timer is set.

<title>iommu/vt-d: Don't dereference iommu_device if IOMMU_API is not built</title>

commit 9def3b1a07c41e21c68a0eb353e3e569fdd1d2b1 upstream.

Since commit c40aaaac1018 ("iommu/vt-d: Gracefully handle DMAR units
with no supported address widths") dmar.c needs struct iommu_device to
be selected. We can drop this dependency by not dereferencing struct
iommu_device if IOMMU_API is not selected and by reusing the information
stored in iommu-&gt;drhd-&gt;ignored instead.

This fixes the following build error when IOMMU_API is not selected:

drivers/iommu/dmar.c: In function ‘free_iommu’:
drivers/iommu/dmar.c:1139:41: error: ‘struct iommu_device’ has no member named ‘ops’
 1139 |  if (intel_iommu_enabled &amp;&amp; iommu-&gt;iommu.ops) {
                                                ^

commit 5fcd57505c002efc5823a7355e21f48dd02d5a51 upstream.

The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in
__writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker
decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either
because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this
directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the
strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.

commit 9d9b1ee0b2d1c9e02b2338c4a4b0a062d2d3edac upstream.

The TCP session does not terminate with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT when data
remain untransmitted due to zero window.

The number of unanswered zero-window probes (tcp_probes_out) is
reset to zero with incoming acks irrespective of the window size,
as described in tcp_probe_timer():

    RFC 1122 4.2.2.17 requires the sender to stay open indefinitely
    as long as the receiver continues to respond probes. We support
    this by default and reset icsk_probes_out with incoming ACKs.

This counter, however, is the wrong one to be used in calculating the
duration that the window remains closed and data remain untransmitted.
Thanks to Jonathan Maxwell &lt;jmaxwell37@gmail.com&gt; for diagnosing the
actual issue.

In this patch a new timestamp is introduced for the socket in order to
track the elapsed time for the zero-window probes that have not been
answered with any non-zero window ack.

<title>xen: Fix event channel callback via INTX/GSI</title>

[ Upstream commit 3499ba8198cad47b731792e5e56b9ec2a78a83a2 ]

For a while, event channel notification via the PCI platform device
has been broken, because we attempt to communicate with xenstore before
we even have notifications working, with the xs_reset_watches() call
in xs_init().

We tend to get away with this on Xen versions below 4.0 because we avoid
calling xs_reset_watches() anyway, because xenstore might not cope with
reading a non-existent key. And newer Xen *does* have the vector
callback support, so we rarely fall back to INTX/GSI delivery.

To fix it, clean up a bit of the mess of xs_init() and xenbus_probe()
startup. Call xs_init() directly from xenbus_init() only in the !XS_HVM
case, deferring it to be called from xenbus_probe() in the XS_HVM case
instead.

Then fix up the invocation of xenbus_probe() to happen either from its
device_initcall if the callback is available early enough, or when the
callback is finally set up. This means that the hack of calling
xenbus_probe() from a workqueue after the first interrupt, or directly
from the PCI platform device setup, is no longer needed.

commit 5eee7bd7e245914e4e050c413dfe864e31805207 upstream.

This worked before, because we made all callers name their next pointer
"next". But in trying to be more "drop-in" ready, the silliness here is
revealed. This commit fixes the problem by making the macro argument and
the member use different names.

commit dcfea72e79b0aa7a057c8f6024169d86a1bbc84b upstream.

As part of the continual effort to remove direct usage of skb-&gt;next and
skb-&gt;prev, this patch adds a helper for iterating through the
singly-linked variant of skb lists, which are used for lists of GSO
packet. The name "skb_list_..." has been chosen to match the existing
function, "kfree_skb_list, which also operates on these singly-linked
lists, and the "..._walk_safe" part is the same idiom as elsewhere in
the kernel.

This patch removes the helper from wireguard and puts it into
linux/skbuff.h, while making it a bit more robust for general usage. In
particular, parenthesis are added around the macro argument usage, and it
now accounts for trying to iterate through an already-null skb pointer,
which will simply run the iteration zero times. This latter enhancement
means it can be used to replace both do { ... } while and while (...)
open-coded idioms.

This should take care of these three possible usages, which match all
current methods of iterations.

skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, next) { ... }
skb_list_walk_safe(skb, skb, next) { ... }
skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, segs) { ... }

Gcc appears to generate efficient code for each of these.

commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.

kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:

  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  kernel/elfcore.o: failed

Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions.  As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.
