Commit 0933a578cd55 ("rds: tcp: use sock_create_lite() to create the
accept socket") has a reference counting issue in TCP socket creation
when accepting a new connection.  The code uses sock_create_lite() to
create a kernel socket.  But it does not do __module_get() on the
socket owner.  When the connection is shutdown and sock_release() is
called to free the socket, the owner's reference count is decremented
and becomes incorrect.  Note that this bug only shows up when the socket
owner is configured as a kernel module.

Commit ebeeb1ad9b8a ("rds: tcp: use rds_destroy_pending() to synchronize
netns/module teardown and rds connection/workq management")
adds an rcu read critical section to __rd_conn_create. The
memory allocations in that critcal section need to use
GFP_ATOMIC to avoid sleeping.

This patch was verified with syzkaller reproducer.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

An rds_connection can get added during netns deletion between lines 528
and 529 of

  506 static void rds_tcp_kill_sock(struct net *net)
  :
  /* code to pull out all the rds_connections that should be destroyed */
  :
  528         spin_unlock_irq(&amp;rds_tcp_conn_lock);
  529         list_for_each_entry_safe(tc, _tc, &amp;tmp_list, t_tcp_node)
  530                 rds_conn_destroy(tc-&gt;t_cpath-&gt;cp_conn);

Such an rds_connection would miss out the rds_conn_destroy()
loop (that cancels all pending work) and (if it was scheduled
after netns deletion) could trigger the use-after-free.

A similar race-window exists for the module unload path
in rds_tcp_exit -&gt; rds_tcp_destroy_conns

Concurrency with netns deletion (rds_tcp_kill_sock()) must be handled
by checking check_net() before enqueuing new work or adding new
connections.

Concurrency with module-unload is handled by maintaining a module
specific flag that is set at the start of the module exit function,
and must be checked before enqueuing new work or adding new connections.

This commit refactors existing RDS_DESTROY_PENDING checks added by
commit 3db6e0d172c9 ("rds: use RCU to synchronize work-enqueue with
connection teardown") and consolidates all the concurrency checks
listed above into the function rds_destroy_pending().

Pull RDMA subsystem updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Overall this cycle did not have any major excitement, and did not
  require any shared branch with netdev.

  Lots of driver updates, particularly of the scale-up and performance
  variety. The largest body of core work was Parav's patches fixing and
  restructing some of the core code to make way for future RDMA
  containerization.

  Summary:

   - misc small driver fixups to
     bnxt_re/hfi1/qib/hns/ocrdma/rdmavt/vmw_pvrdma/nes

   - several major feature adds to bnxt_re driver: SRIOV VF RoCE
     support, HugePages support, extended hardware stats support, and
     SRQ support

   - a notable number of fixes to the i40iw driver from debugging scale
     up testing

   - more work to enable the new hip08 chip in the hns driver

   - misc small ULP fixups to srp/srpt//ipoib

   - preparation for srp initiator and target to support the RDMA-CM
     protocol for connections

   - add RDMA-CM support to srp initiator, srp target is still a WIP

   - fixes for a couple of places where ipoib could spam the dmesg log

   - fix encode/decode of FDR/EDR data rates in the core

   - many patches from Parav with ongoing work to clean up
     inconsistencies and bugs in RoCE support around the rdma_cm

   - mlx5 driver support for the userspace features 'thread domain',
     'wallclock timestamps' and 'DV Direct Connected transport'. Support
     for the firmware dual port rocee capability

   - core support for more than 32 rdma devices in the char dev
     allocation

   - kernel doc updates from Randy Dunlap

   - new netlink uAPI for inspecting RDMA objects similar in spirit to 'ss'

   - one minor change to the kobject code acked by Greg KH"

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

The esp{4,6}_offload.c conflicts were overlapping changes.
The 'out' label is removed so we just return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)
