commit 9523feac272ccad2ad8186ba4fcc89103754de52 upstream.

Because userspace gets Very Unhappy when calls like stat() and execve()
return -EINTR on 9p filesystem mounts. For instance, when bash is
looking in PATH for things to execute and some SIGCHLD interrupts
stat(), bash can throw a spurious 'command not found' since it doesn't
retry the stat().

In practice, hitting the problem is rare and needs a really
slow/bogged down 9p server.

<title>IB/cma: Add support for network namespaces</title>

<id>fa20105e09e97e81aadf02f722c31195e4a75c84</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for network namespaces in the ib_cma module. This is
accomplished by:

1. Adding network namespace parameter for rdma_create_id. This parameter is
   used to populate the network namespace field in rdma_id_private.
   rdma_create_id keeps a reference on the network namespace.
2. Using the network namespace from the rdma_id instead of init_net inside
   of ib_cma, when listening on an ID and when looking for an ID for an
   incoming request.
3. Decrementing the reference count for the appropriate network namespace
   when calling rdma_destroy_id.

In order to preserve the current behavior init_net is passed when calling
from other modules.

Some use of those functions were providing unitialized values to those
functions. Notably, when reading 0 bytes from an empty file on a 9P
filesystem, the return code of read() was not 0.

Tested with this simple program:

    #include &lt;assert.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

    int main(int argc, const char **argv)
    {
        assert(argc == 2);
        char buffer[256];
        int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY);
        assert(fd &gt;= 0);
        assert(read(fd, buffer, 0) == 0);
        return 0;

On device shutdown/removal, virtio drivers need to trigger a reset on
the device; if this is neglected, the virtio core will complain about
non-zero device status.

This patch resets the status when the 9p virtio driver is removed
from the system by calling vdev-&gt;config-&gt;reset on the virtio_device
to send a reset to the host virtio device.
