[ Upstream commit 1bbf0ced1d9db73ac7893c2187f3459288603e0d ]

Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control
block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed
by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption
is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer
(__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer
(tcp_conn_request()):

 - min_ttl / min_hopcount check
 - xfrm policy check
 - tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch
 - tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop
 - th-&gt;syn &amp;&amp; th-&gt;fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN
 - psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
 - tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
 - tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL

When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set.

The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in
tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN.

This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb-&gt;cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu
variable.

Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

Very litle impact on overall code size/complexity:

[ Upstream commit b8d7519352ba8c6df83259295d4a3bad093cae90 ]

Recent commit changed the semantics from NOT_VALID to VALID.
I didn't realize that the flags are not stored atomically
with the entry in XArray. There's still a race of reader
observing a VALID mark for a slot, getting interrupted,
writer replacing the entry with a different one, reader
continuing, fetching the entry which is now a different
pointer than the pointer for which VALID was meant.

The biggest consequence of this is that we may see a UAF
since net_shaper_rollback() assumed that entries without
VALID can be freed without observing RCU.

Looks like the XArray marks are buying us nothing at this
point. Let's convert the code to an explicit valid field.
The smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release() barriers are
marginally cleaner.

[ Upstream commit 0cb5a74faa3bdcfa3b18735d554e12c0f615e35d ]

In an internal review from Airoha, it was notice that the RX DMA descriptor
bits and mask are wrong. These values probably refer to an old NPU firmware
never published. The previous value works correctly but it was reported
that in some specific condition in mixed scenario with both Ethernet and
WiFi offload it's possible that RX DMA descriptor signal wrong value with
the problem to the RX ring or packets getting dropped.

To handle these specific scenario, apply the new suggested bits mask from
Airoha.

Correct functionality of both AN7581 NPU and MT7996 variant were verified
and confirmed working.

[ Upstream commit 8817005efbdfdf5d4e4814cb5dc52b53d12917d7 ]

css_rstat_updated() is exposed as a BPF kfunc and accepts a
caller-provided cpu argument. The function uses cpu for per-cpu rstat
lookups without checking whether it refers to a valid possible CPU.

A BPF iter/cgroup program with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON can pass an
invalid cpu value. On an unfixed UBSCAN_BOUNDS test kernel, cpu ==
0x7fffffff triggers:

  UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:31:9
  index 2147483647 is out of range for type 'long unsigned int [64]'
  Call Trace:
    css_rstat_updated
    bpf_iter_run_prog
    cgroup_iter_seq_show
    bpf_seq_read

Add cpu validation to the BPF-facing css_rstat_updated() kfunc and
move the common implementation to __css_rstat_updated() for in-kernel
callers.

[ Upstream commit 379e8f1ca5e919b130b40d8115d92a536e5f8d7a ]

Recently, a few races have been discovered in the GEM LRU logic, all
of them caused by the fact the LRU lock is accessed through
gem-&gt;lru-&gt;lock, and that very same lock also protects changes to
gem-&gt;lru, leading to situations where gem-&gt;lru needs to first be
accessed without the lock held, to then get the lru to access the lock
through and finally take the lock and do the expected operation.

Currently, the only driver making use of this API (MSM) declares a
device-wide lock, and the user we're about to add (panthor) will
do the same. There's no evidence that we will ever have a driver
that wants different pools of LRUs protected by different locks under
the same drm_device. So we're better off moving this lock to drm_device
and always locking it through obj-&gt;dev-&gt;gem_lru_mutex, or directly
through dev-&gt;gem_lru_mutex.

If anyone ever needs more fine-grained locking, this can be revisited
to pass some drm_gem_lru_pool object representing the pool of LRUs
under a specific lock, but for now, the per-device lock seems to be
enough.

[ Upstream commit d6c65b0fd6218bd21ed0be7a8d3218e8f6dc91de ]

Currently the core code provides a simplified interface to drivers where
it fragments a requested multi-page map into single page size steps after
doing all the calculations to figure out what page size is
appropriate. Each step rewalks the page tables from the start.

Since iommupt has a single implementation of the mapping algorithm it can
internally compute each step as it goes while retaining its current
position in the walk.

Add a new function pt_pgsz_count() which computes the same page size
fragement of a large mapping operations.

Compute the next fragment when all the leaf entries of the current
fragement have been written, then continue walking from the current
point.

The function pointer is run through pt_iommu_ops instead of
iommu_domain_ops to discourage using it outside iommupt. All drivers with
their own page tables should continue to use the simplified map_pages()
style interfaces.

The common algorithm in iommupt does not require the iommu_pgsize()

pointer to directly call an iommupt unmap_range op and make
__iommu_unmap() call it directly.

Gives about a 5% gain on single page unmappings.

The function pointer is run through pt_iommu_ops instead of

[ Upstream commit 1365b6904fd050bf22ab9f3df375a396de5837a1 ]

In order to maintain sequential write patterns per zone with zoned block
devices, zone write plugging issues only a single write BIO per zone at
any time. This works well but has the side effect that when large
sequential write streams are issued by the user and these streams cross
zone boundaries, the device ends up receiving a discontiguous set of
write commands for different zones. The same also happens when a user
writes simultaneously at high queue depth multiple zones: the device
does not see all sequential writes per zone and receives discontiguous
writes to different zones. While this does not affect the performance of
solid state zoned block devices, when using an SMR HDD, this pattern
change from sequential writes to discontiguous writes to different zones
significantly increases head seek which results in degraded write
throughput.

In order to reduce this seek overhead for rotational media devices,
introduce a per disk zone write plugs kernel thread to issue all write
BIOs to zones. This single zone write issuing context is enabled for
any zoned block device that has a request queue flagged with the new
QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES flag.

The flag QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES is visible as the sysfs queue attribute
zoned_qd1_writes for zoned devices. For regular block devices, this
attribute is not visible. For zoned block devices, a user can override
the default value set to force the global write maximum queue depth of
1 for a zoned block device, or clear this attribute to fallback to the
default behavior of zone write plugging which limits writes to QD=1 per
sequential zone.

Writing to a zoned block device flagged with QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES is
implemented using a list of zone write plugs that have a non-empty BIO
list. Listed zone write plugs are processed by the disk zone write plugs
worker kthread in FIFO order, and all BIOs of a zone write plug are all
processed before switching to the next listed zone write plug. A newly
submitted BIO for a non-FULL zone write plug that is not yet listed
causes the addition of the zone write plug at the end of the disk list
of zone write plugs.

Since the write BIOs queued in a zone write plug BIO list are
necessarilly sequential, for rotational media, using the single zone
write plugs kthread to issue all BIOs maintains a sequential write
pattern and thus reduces seek overhead and improves write throughput.
This processing essentially result in always writing to HDDs at QD=1,
which is not an issue for HDDs operating with write caching enabled.
Performance with write cache disabled is also not degraded thanks to
the efficient write handling of modern SMR HDDs.

A disk list of zone write plugs is defined using the new struct gendisk
zone_wplugs_list, and accesses to this list is protected using the
zone_wplugs_list_lock spinlock.  The per disk kthread
(zone_wplugs_worker) code is implemented by the function
disk_zone_wplugs_worker(). A reference on listed zone write plugs is
always held until all BIOs of the zone write plug are processed by the
worker kthread. BIO issuing at QD=1 is driven using a completion
structure (zone_wplugs_worker_bio_done) and calls to blk_io_wait().

With this change, performance when sequentially writing the zones of a
30 TB SMR SATA HDD connected to an AHCI adapter changes as follows
(1MiB direct I/Os, results in MB/s unit):

                    +--------------------+
		    |   Write BW (MB/s)  |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 | Sequential write | Baseline | Patched |
 |  Queue Depth     | 6.19-rc8 |         |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 | 1                | 244      | 245     |
 | 2                | 244      | 245     |
 | 4                | 245      | 245     |
 | 8                | 242      | 245     |
 | 16               | 222      | 246     |
 | 32               | 211      | 245     |
 | 64               | 193      | 244     |
 | 128              | 112      | 246     |
 +------------------+----------+---------+

With the current code (baseline), as the sequential write stream crosses
a zone boundary, higher queue depth creates a gap between the
last IO to the previous zone and the first IOs to the following zones,
causing head seeks and degrading performance. Using the disk zone
write plugs worker thread, this pattern disappears and the maximum
throughput of the drive is maintained, leading to over 100%
improvements in throughput for high queue depth write.

Using 16 fio jobs all writing to randomly chosen zones at QD=32 with 1
MiB direct IOs, write throughput also increases significantly.

                    +--------------------+
		    |   Write BW (MB/s)  |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 |   Random write   | Baseline | Patched |
 |  Number of zones | 6.19-rc7 |         |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 | 1                | 191      | 192     |
 | 2                | 101      | 128     |
 | 4                | 115      | 123     |
 | 8                | 90       | 120     |
 | 16               | 64       | 115     |
 | 32               | 58       | 105     |
 | 64               | 56       | 101     |
 | 128              | 55       | 99      |
 +------------------+----------+---------+

Tests using XFS shows that buffered write speed with 8 jobs writing
files increases by 12% to 35% depending on the workload.

                    +--------------------+
		    |   Write BW (MB/s)  |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 |     Workload     | Baseline | Patched |
 |                  | 6.19-rc7 |         |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 | 256MiB file size | 212      | 238     |
 +------------------+----------+---------+
 | 4MiB .. 128 MiB  | 213      | 243     |

 | 2MiB .. 8 MiB    | 179      | 242     |
 | random file size |          |         |
 +------------------+----------+---------+

Performance gains are even more significant when using an HBA that
limits the maximum size of commands to a small value, e.g. HBAs
controlled with the mpi3mr driver limit commands to a maximum of 1 MiB.
In such case, the write throughput gains are over 40%.
