Pull IOMMU fix from Joerg Roedel:
 "Another fix, this time in common IOMMU sysfs code.

  In the conversion from the old iommu sysfs-code to the
  iommu_device_register interface, I missed to update the release path
  for the struct device associated with an IOMMU. It freed the 'struct
  device', which was a pointer before, but is now embedded in another
  struct.

  Freeing from the middle of allocated memory had all kinds of nasty
  side effects when an IOMMU was unplugged. Unfortunatly nobody
  unplugged and IOMMU until now, so this was not discovered earlier. The
  fix is to make the 'struct device' a pointer again"

<title>Clarify (and fix) MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macros</title>
<updated>2017-08-27T19:12:25+00:00</updated>

<id>0cc3b0ec23ce4c69e1e890ed2b8d2fa932b14aad</id>
<content type='text'>
We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by
filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and
don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path.

It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus.  On 32-bit,
the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values,
but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong.  We used to
define that value to

	(((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1)

which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits,
and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte
of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff).

Neither of those limitations make sense.  The index is actually the full
32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page.  So the
maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE &lt;&lt; BITS_PER_LONG".

However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code
that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to
overflow.  So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should
actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index.

So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT.  That means that we will
not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we
can grow a file up to that limit.

The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug
Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5
volume.  It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one
byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB.

This was invisible until commit c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop
in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too.

NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is
actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed.  But for
clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make
people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant.

So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case.  That was what the value had
been before too, just written out as a hex constant.

<title>pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER</title>

<id>311fc65c9fb9c966bca8e6f3ff8132ce57344ab9</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
    - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
    - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required

[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
  143c97cc6529, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
  increased reference counts   - Linus ]

Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request bsg fails to
provide a reply-buffer for the drivers. This was done via the pointer
for sense-data, that is not preallocated anymore.

Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because
LLDs use this pointer unquestioned.

An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had
debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on
s390x):

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

This patch moves bsg-lib to allocate and setup struct bsg_job ahead of
time, including the allocation of a buffer for the reply-data.

This means, struct bsg_job is not allocated separately anymore, but as part
of struct request allocation - similar to struct scsi_cmd. Reflect this in
the function names that used to handle creation/destruction of struct
bsg_job.

Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request bsg fails to
provide a reply-buffer for the drivers. This was done via the pointer
for sense-data, that is not preallocated anymore.

Failing to allocate/assign it results in illegal dereferences because
LLDs use this pointer unquestioned.

An example panic on s390x, using the zFCP driver, looks like this (I had
debugging on, otherwise NULL-pointer dereferences wouldn't even panic on
s390x):

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

<title>Revert "pty: fix the cached path of the pty slave file descriptor in the master"</title>

This reverts commit c8c03f1858331e85d397bacccd34ef409aae993c.

It turns out that while fixing the ptmx file descriptor to have the
correct 'struct path' to the associated slave pty is a really good
thing, it breaks some user space tools for a very annoying reason.

The problem is that /dev/ptmx and its associated slave pty (/dev/pts/X)
are on different mounts.  That was what caused us to have the wrong path
in the first place (we would mix up the vfsmount of the 'ptmx' node,
with the dentry of the pty slave node), but it also means that now while
we use the right vfsmount, having the pty master open also keeps the pts
mount busy.

And it turn sout that that makes 'pbuilder' very unhappy, as noted by
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann:

 "This patch introduces a regression for me when using pbuilder
  0.228.7[2] (a helper to build Debian packages in a chroot and to
  create and update its chroots) when trying to umount /dev/ptmx (inside
  the chroot) on Debian/ unstable (full log and pbuilder configuration
  file[3] attached).

  [...]
  Setting up build-essential (12.3) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-15) ...
  I: unmounting dev/ptmx filesystem
  W: Could not unmount dev/ptmx: umount: /var/cache/pbuilder/build/1340/dev/ptmx: target is busy
          (In some cases useful info about processes that
           use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1).)"

apparently pbuilder tries to unmount the /dev/pts filesystem while still
holding at least one master node open, which is arguably not very nice,
but we don't break user space even when fixing other bugs.

So this commit has to be reverted.

I'll try to figure out a way to avoid caching the path to the slave pty
in the master pty.  The only thing that actually wants that slave pty
path is the "TIOCGPTPEER" ioctl, and I think we could just recreate the
path at that time.

This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4f5 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task-&gt;group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.

We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups.  Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.13 cycle.

Given the late stage of this series, some more involved fixes have been
held back for the upcoming merge window.

The hid-sensor issue has been causing problems for a long time so it
is great to have that one finally fixed!  No more bug reports for the
userspace guys (well about that anyway).

* documentation
  - some warning fixes due to missing colons in kernel-doc.
* adis16480
  - fix accel scale factor.
* bmp280
  - properly initialize the device for humidity readings - without this
  the humidity readings may be skipped and a magic value of 0x8000 returned.
* hid-sensor-strigger
  - fix a race with user space when powering up the sensor.
* ina291
  - Avoid an underflow for the sleeping time as a result of supporting the
  fastest rates.
* st-magnetometer
  - Fix the status register address for hte LSM303AGR,
  - Remove the ihl property for LSM303AGR as the sensor doesn't support
  active low for the dataready line.
* stm32-adc

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.13 cycle.

Given the late stage of this series, some more involved fixes have been
held back for the upcoming merge window.

The hid-sensor issue has been causing problems for a long time so it
is great to have that one finally fixed!  No more bug reports for the
userspace guys (well about that anyway).

* documentation
  - some warning fixes due to missing colons in kernel-doc.
* adis16480
  - fix accel scale factor.
* bmp280
  - properly initialize the device for humidity readings - without this
  the humidity readings may be skipped and a magic value of 0x8000 returned.
* hid-sensor-strigger
  - fix a race with user space when powering up the sensor.
* ina291
  - Avoid an underflow for the sleeping time as a result of supporting the
  fastest rates.
* st-magnetometer
  - Fix the status register address for hte LSM303AGR,
  - Remove the ihl property for LSM303AGR as the sensor doesn't support
  active low for the dataready line.
* stm32-adc
  - Fix use of a common clock rate.
* stm32-timer
  - fix the quadrature mode get routine to account for the magic 0 value.
  set on boot.
