[ Upstream commit ac687e6e8c26181a33270efd1a2e2241377924b0 ]

There is a need to distinguish geniune per-cpu kthreads from kthreads
that happen to have a single CPU affinity.

Geniune per-cpu kthreads are kthreads that are CPU affine for
correctness, these will obviously have PF_KTHREAD set, but must also
have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, lest userspace modify their affinity and
ruins things.

However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.

Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.

Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from
kthread_create_on_cpu(); the io_uring usage of it seems dubious at
best.

<title>tcp: make TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for zero window probes</title>

commit 344db93ae3ee69fc137bd6ed89a8ff1bf5b0db08 upstream.

The TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is checked by the 0-window probe timer. As the
timer has backoff with a max interval of about two minutes, the
actual timeout for TCP_USER_TIMEOUT can be off by up to two minutes.

In this patch the TCP_USER_TIMEOUT is made more accurate by taking it
into account when computing the timer value for the 0-window probes.

This patch is similar to and builds on top of the one that made
TCP_USER_TIMEOUT accurate for RTOs in commit b701a99e431d ("tcp: Add
tcp_clamp_rto_to_user_timeout() helper to improve accuracy").

<title>tcp: fix TLP timer not set when CA_STATE changes from DISORDER to OPEN</title>

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.

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit c35a824c31834d947fb99b0c608c1b9f922b4ba0 ]

With UBSAN enabled and building with clang, there are occasionally
warnings like

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0xc533ec): Section mismatch in reference from the function arch_atomic64_or() to the variable .init.data:numa_nodes_parsed
The function arch_atomic64_or() references
the variable __initdata numa_nodes_parsed.
This is often because arch_atomic64_or lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of numa_nodes_parsed is wrong.

for functions that end up not being inlined as intended but operating
on __initdata variables. Mark these as __always_inline, along with
the corresponding asm-generic wrappers.

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.
