Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Make the block layer great again.

  Basically three amazing fixes in this pull request, split into 4
  patches.  Believe me, they should go into 4.4.  Two of them fix a
  regression, the third and last fixes an easy-to-trigger bug.

   - Fix a bad irq enable through null_blk, for queue_mode=1 and using
     timer completions.  Add a block helper to restart a queue
     asynchronously, and use that from null_blk.  From me.

   - Fix a performance issue in NVMe.  Some devices (Intel Pxxxx) expose
     a stripe boundary, and performance suffers if we cross it.  We took
     that into account for merging, but not for the newer splitting
     code.  Fix from Keith.

   - Fix a kernel oops in lightnvm with multiple channels.  From Matias"

<title>mm/vmstat: fix overflow in mod_zone_page_state()</title>

<id>6cdb18ad98a49f7e9b95d538a0614cde827404b8</id>
<content type='text'>
mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument.  delta contains
the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
zone's vm_stat field.

If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows.  E.g.  for a
zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line

    mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone-&gt;managed_pages);

in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
value.

Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.

This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
system with only one node.  ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
rest.  The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.

This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel.  One possible
explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
right now.  However the overflow problem does exist anyway.

Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

We currently only have an inline/sync helper to restart a stopped
queue. If drivers need an async version, they have to roll their
own. Add a generic helper instead.

<title>net: cdc_ncm: avoid changing RX/TX buffers on MTU changes</title>

<content type='text'>
NCM buffer sizes are negotiated with the device independently of
the network device MTU.  The RX buffers are allocated by the
usbnet framework based on the rx_urb_size value set by cdc_ncm. A
single RX buffer can hold a number of MTU sized packets.

The default usbnet change_mtu ndo only modifies rx_urb_size if it
is equal to hard_mtu.  And the cdc_ncm driver will set rx_urb_size
and hard_mtu independently of each other, based on dwNtbInMaxSize
and dwNtbOutMaxSize respectively. It was therefore assumed that
usbnet_change_mtu() would never touch rx_urb_size.  This failed to
consider the case where dwNtbInMaxSize and dwNtbOutMaxSize happens
to be equal.

Fix by implementing an NCM specific change_mtu ndo, modifying the
netdev MTU without touching the buffer size settings.

  xen/pciback: Don't allow MSI-X ops if PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY is not set.
  xen/pciback: For XEN_PCI_OP_disable_msi[|x] only disable if device has MSI(X) enabled.
  xen/pciback: Do not install an IRQ handler for MSI interrupts.
  xen/pciback: Return error on XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msix when device has MSI or MSI-X enabled
  xen/pciback: Return error on XEN_PCI_OP_enable_msi when device has MSI or MSI-X enabled
  xen/pciback: Save xen_pci_op commands before processing it
  xen-scsiback: safely copy requests
  xen-blkback: read from indirect descriptors only once
  xen-blkback: only read request operation from shared ring once
  xen-netback: use RING_COPY_REQUEST() throughout
  xen-netback: don't use last request to determine minimum Tx credit
  xen: Add RING_COPY_REQUEST()
  xen/x86/pvh: Use HVM's flush_tlb_others op
  xen: Resume PMU from non-atomic context
  xen/events/fifo: Consume unprocessed events when a CPU dies

Using RING_GET_REQUEST() on a shared ring is easy to use incorrectly
(i.e., by not considering that the other end may alter the data in the
shared ring while it is being inspected).  Safe usage of a request
generally requires taking a local copy.

Provide a RING_COPY_REQUEST() macro to use instead of
RING_GET_REQUEST() and an open-coded memcpy().  This takes care of
ensuring that the copy is done correctly regardless of any possible
compiler optimizations.

Use a volatile source to prevent the compiler from reordering or
omitting the copy.

This is part of XSA155.
