<id>urn:sha1:bd56b7e2a7a89b49631a6ae3a23d214cae5eafa3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d248220f0465b818887baa9829e691fe662b2c5e upstream.

Since commit 6ce0d2001692 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.

This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].

What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.

NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

<title>tree wide: get rid of __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 allocations part I</title>

<id>urn:sha1:32d6bd9059f265f617f6502c68dfbcae7e515add</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1].  I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree.  I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2.  I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.

Motivation:

While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree.  It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often.  It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&amp;paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.

I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear.  Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as

* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt

* _might_ fail.  This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
  while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic.  So one could
  reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
  for ever.  This is not implemented right now though.

I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.

  $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
  111
  $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
  36

So we are down to the third after this patch series.  The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests.  This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.

I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them.  Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though.  The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org

This patch (of 19):

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.  Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations.  This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).

Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places.  This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

<title>ARM: 8579/1: mm: Fix definition of pmd_mknotpresent</title>

Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.

Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.

This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.

<content type='text'>
In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the
pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's
perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd
value and will therefore continue to return true even after a
pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for
managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case.

This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into
account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the
fix to pmd_mknotpresent.

<content type='text'>
When modifying the active state of an interrupt via the MMIO interface,
we should ensure that the write has the intended effect.

If a guest sets an interrupt to active, but that interrupt is already
flushed into a list register on a running VCPU, then that VCPU will
write the active state back into the struct vgic_irq upon returning from
the guest and syncing its state.  This is a non-benign race, because the
guest can observe that an interrupt is not active, and it can have a
reasonable expectations that other VCPUs will not ack any IRQs, and then
set the state to active, and expect it to stay that way.  Currently we
are not honoring this case.

Thefore, change both the SACTIVE and CACTIVE mmio handlers to stop the
world, change the irq state, potentially queue the irq if we're setting
it to active, and then continue.

We take this chance to slightly optimize these functions by not stopping
the world when touching private interrupts where there is inherently no
possible race.
