NVMe spec requires all transports support dword aligned addresses, which
is already set in the namespace request_queue. Set the same limit in the
multipath device's request_queue as well.

When destroying a queue, when calling sock_release, the network stack
might need to allocate an skb to send a FIN/RST. When that happens
during memory pressure, there is a need to reclaim memory, which
in turn may ask the nvme-tcp device to write out dirty pages, however
this is not possible due to a ctrl teardown that is going on.

Set PF_MEMALLOC to the task that releases the socket to grant access
to PF_MEMALLOC reserves. In addition, do the same for the nvme-tcp
thread as this may also originate from the swap itself and should
be more resilient to memory pressure situations.

This fixes the following lockdep complaint:

Use sg_init_table() instead, which basically memset the scatterlist to

The item passed into nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_show is not a member of
struct nvmet_port, it is part of nvmet_subsys.  Hence, don't try to
dereference it as struct nvme_ctrl pointer.

<title>nvme-hwmon: kmalloc the NVME SMART log buffer</title>

Recent commit 52fde2c07da6 ("nvme: set dma alignment to dword") has
caused a regression on our platform.

It turned out that the nvme_get_log() method invocation caused the
nvme_hwmon_data structure instance corruption.  In particular the
nvme_hwmon_data.ctrl pointer was overwritten either with zeros or with
garbage.  After some research we discovered that the problem happened
even before the actual NVME DMA execution, but during the buffer mapping.
Since our platform is DMA-noncoherent, the mapping implied the cache-line
invalidations or write-backs depending on the DMA-direction parameter.
In case of the NVME SMART log getting the DMA was performed
from-device-to-memory, thus the cache-invalidation was activated during
the buffer mapping.  Since the log-buffer isn't cache-line aligned, the
cache-invalidation caused the neighbour data to be discarded.  The
neighbouring data turned to be the data surrounding the buffer in the
framework of the nvme_hwmon_data structure.

In order to fix that we need to make sure that the whole log-buffer is
defined within the cache-line-aligned memory region so the
cache-invalidation procedure wouldn't involve the adjacent data. One of
the option to guarantee that is to kmalloc the DMA-buffer [1]. Seeing the
rest of the NVME core driver prefer that method it has been chosen to fix
this problem too.

Note after a deeper researches we found out that the denoted commit wasn't
a root cause of the problem. It just revealed the invalidity by activating
the DMA-based NVME SMART log getting performed in the framework of the
NVME hwmon driver. The problem was here since the initial commit of the
driver.

An NVMe controller works perfectly fine even when the hwmon
initialization fails.  Stop returning errors that do not come from a
controller reset from nvme_hwmon_init to handle this case consistently.

<title>nvme-apple: don't limit DMA segement size</title>

NVMe uses PRPs for data transfers and has no specific limit for a single
DMA segement.  Limiting the size will cause problems because the block
layer assumes PRP-ish devices using a virt boundary mask don't have a
segment limit.  And while this is true, we also really need to tell the
DMA mapping layer about it, otherwise dma-debug will trip over it.
