<content type='text'>
In PowerPC (pseries) a non-virtualized adapter will have 2 DMA windows -
2GB default and a larger Dynamic DMA Window (DDW). DDW is large enough to
map total RAM to a device.

During normal functioning of OS, since RAM is pre-mapped, 2GB default
window is not used. The only scenario it might get used is when buffers in
pmemory are mapped to the device for DMA.

As of today, during kdump, during early device discovery, pci_dma_find()
finds that the device has 2 DMA windows. It selects to use DDW. This is a
kdump path and DMA window is needed for IO to the device.

Although commit 09a3c1e46142 ("powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU table is not
initialized for kdump over SR-IOV") fixed an issue during kdump with SR-IOV
case, but this also made the kdump prefer DDW over the default DMA window
when both are present (dedicated adapter case). Since the DDW is fully
mapped by the previous kernel, iommu_table_clear() can free only
KDUMP_MIN_TCE_ENTRIES (2048) TCEs for use by kdump kernel.

This is not enough when the dump device is NVMe over Fibre Channel.
Because nvme-fc driver DMA-maps the cmds and resp IUs of every
pre-allocated request and each such mapping consumes roughly:

    32 (IO queues, one per cpus = nr_cpus) *
    64 (queue_depth, blk-mq kdump limit) *
    2 (cmd+resp) = 4096

This is already double of what we have without counting admin queues and
lpfc driver's own allocations / mapping requirement. Hence this results
into iommu_alloc failures like -

lpfc 0153:70:00.0: iommu_alloc failed,
tbl 0000000034ebcf5e vaddr 00000000d814df0b npages 1
lpfc 0153:70:00.0: FCP Op failed - cmdiu dma mapping failed.

process_one_work+0x1e4/0x5a0
worker_thread+0x1ec/0x3e0

Increasing the number of free TCE entries in iommu_table_clear() will
increase the probability of hitting EEH since there could still be some
active IOs from the previous life of the kernel.

Hence this patch partially reverts the previous fixes commit and
switches the kdump's default back to 2GB default DMA window instead of
DDW window. This window will mostly be empty. Or, could be slightly used
if buffers in pmemory were mapped for IO.

In papr_phy_attest_create_handle(), the params-&gt;cmd.length is not
validated before use, which can result in a buffer overlow.  Check it and
return -EINVAL if it is either 0 or exceeds sizeof(params-&gt;cmd).

Also, params is freed on the success path but not error. Free it on
errors after memory allocation.  And free it on negative fd.

<title>powerpc/crash: stop watchdogs before booting kdump kernel</title>

<content type='text'>
On pseries LPAR systems, watchdog timers configured from userspace can
remain active after a kernel panic. When a panic triggers kdump, the
crashing kernel jumps directly to the kdump kernel without stopping
active watchdogs. As a result, the watchdogs remain active after the
kdump kernel starts.

If dump capture takes longer than the watchdog timeout, PHYP resets the
LPAR before the dump is fully captured, causing dump capture to fail.

Fix this by issuing the `H_WATCHDOG` hcall during the crash shutdown
sequence to stop all active watchdogs before booting the kdump kernel.

<title>powerpc/pseries: Handle and log pseries-wdt registration failures</title>

The pseries watchdog initialization registers the pseries-wdt platform
device using platform_device_register_simple(), but currently ignores
its return value.

Check the returned pointer for errors, log a descriptive error message
when registration fails, and propagate the failure code to the caller.
This avoids silently ignoring platform device registration failures.

<title>powerpc/xive: propagate IPI init errors to prevent use-after-free</title>

<content type='text'>
When xive_init_ipis() fails (e.g. irq_domain_alloc_irqs() fails),
the error path frees the global xive_ipis array.  However,
xive_smp_probe() previously ignored this failure and proceeded to
call xive_setup_cpu_ipi(), which dereferences the already-freed
xive_ipis pointer -- a use-after-free.

Now that xive_smp_probe() returns int (previous patch), propagate
the error from xive_init_ipis() and xive_setup_cpu_ipi() through
xive_smp_probe().  Check the return value in both pnv_smp_probe()
and pSeries_smp_probe() so that IPI setup is aborted cleanly on
failure, avoiding the use-after-free.
