<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<id>96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693</id>
<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) New ipset extensions for matching on destination MAC addresses, from
    Stefano Brivio.

 2) Add ipv4 ttl and tos, plus ipv6 flow label and hop limit offloads to
    nfp driver. From Stefano Brivio.

 3) Implement GRO for plain UDP sockets, from Paolo Abeni.

 4) Lots of work from Michał Mirosław to eliminate the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT
    bit so that we could support the entire vlan_tci value.

 5) Rework the IPSEC policy lookups to better optimize more usecases,
    from Florian Westphal.

 6) Infrastructure changes eliminating direct manipulation of SKB lists
    wherever possible, and to always use the appropriate SKB list
    helpers. This work is still ongoing...

 7) Lots of PHY driver and state machine improvements and
    simplifications, from Heiner Kallweit.

 8) Various TSO deferral refinements, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Add ntuple filter support to aquantia driver, from Dmitry Bogdanov.

10) Batch dropping of XDP packets in tuntap, from Jason Wang.

11) Lots of cleanups and improvements to the r8169 driver from Heiner
    Kallweit, including support for -&gt;xmit_more. This driver has been
    getting some much needed love since he started working on it.

12) Lots of new forwarding selftests from Petr Machata.

13) Enable VXLAN learning in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

14) Packed ring support for virtio, from Tiwei Bie.

15) Add new Aquantia AQtion USB driver, from Dmitry Bezrukov.

16) Add XDP support to dpaa2-eth driver, from Ioana Ciocoi Radulescu.

17) Implement coalescing on TCP backlog queue, from Eric Dumazet.

18) Implement carrier change in tun driver, from Nicolas Dichtel.

19) Support msg_zerocopy in UDP, from Willem de Bruijn.

20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when
    the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern.

21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility
    completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz
    Shlomo and others.

22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and
    therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the
    NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata.

23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them
    in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni.

24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu.

25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan.

26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of
    the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is
    designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in
    the future.

27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan.

Now that there are no more data path users of vhost_vsock_lock, it can
be turned into a mutex.  It's only used by .release() and in the
.ioctl() path.

This reverts commit 78139c94dc8c96a478e67dab3bee84dc6eccb5fd. We don't
protect device IOTLB with vq mutex, which will lead e.g use after free
for device IOTLB entries. And since we've switched to use
mutex_trylock() in previous patch, it's safe to revert it without
having deadlock.

<title>vhost_net: switch to use mutex_trylock() in vhost_net_busy_poll()</title>

We used to hold the mutex of paired virtqueue in
vhost_net_busy_poll(). But this will results an inconsistent lock
order which may cause deadlock if we try to bring back the protection
of device IOTLB with vq mutex that requires to hold mutex of all
virtqueues at the same time.

Fix this simply by switching to use mutex_trylock(), when fail just
skip the busy polling. This can happen when device IOTLB is under
updating which should be rare.
