commit 9003ebb13f61e8c78a641e0dda7775183ada0625 upstream.

The fix for deadlock in PM in commit [1ee23fe07ee8: ALSA: usb-audio:
Fix deadlocks at resuming] introduced a new check of in_pm flag.
However, the brainless patch author evaluated it in a wrong way
(logical AND instead of logical OR), thus usb_autopm_get_interface()
is wrongly called at probing, leading to unbalance of runtime PM
refcount.

This patch fixes it by correcting the logic.

commit 8014bcc86ef112eab9ee1db312dba4e6b608cf89 upstream.

The variable for the 'permissive' module parameter used to be static
but was recently changed to be extern.  This puts it in the kernel
global namespace if the driver is built-in, so its name should begin
with a prefix identifying the driver.

<title>PCI: Handle read-only BARs on AMD CS553x devices</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f183980f7ded62e5e693e57e04a2b3666626ba50</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 06cf35f903aa6da0cc8d9f81e9bcd1f7e1b534bb upstream.

Some AMD CS553x devices have read-only BARs because of a firmware or
hardware defect.  There's a workaround in quirk_cs5536_vsa(), but it no
longer works after 36e8164882ca ("PCI: Restore detection of read-only
BARs").  Prior to 36e8164882ca, we filled in res-&gt;start; afterwards we
leave it zeroed out.  The quirk only updated the size, so the driver tried
to use a region starting at zero, which didn't work.

Expand quirk_cs5536_vsa() to read the base addresses from the BARs and
hard-code the sizes.

On Nix's system BAR 2's read-only value is 0x6200.  Prior to 36e8164882ca,
we interpret that as a 512-byte BAR based on the lowest-order bit set.  Per
datasheet sec 5.6.1, that BAR (MFGPT) requires only 64 bytes; use that to
avoid clearing any address bits if a platform uses only 64-byte alignment.

[js] pcibios_bus_to_resource takes pdev, not bus in 3.12

[bhelgaas: changelog, reduce BAR 2 size to 64]

commit c3c87e770458aa004bd7ed3f29945ff436fd6511 upstream.

The fix from 9fc81d87420d ("perf: Fix events installation during
moving group") was incomplete in that it failed to recognise that
creating a group with events for different CPUs is semantically
broken -- they cannot be co-scheduled.

Furthermore, it leads to real breakage where, when we create an event
for CPU Y and then migrate it to form a group on CPU X, the code gets
confused where the counter is programmed -- triggered in practice
as well by me via the perf fuzzer.

Fix this by tightening the rules for creating groups. Only allow
grouping of counters that can be co-scheduled in the same context.
This means for the same task and/or the same cpu.

commit 1eec34e9f25664cf71e05321329d128e0565beae upstream.

There is a poll loop for max 25us for HS devices. Now guess what, I
tested it in gadget mode and forgot about the little detail. Nobody seem
to have it noticed…
This patch adds the missing logic for hostmode so it is recognized in
host and device mode properly.

<content type='text'>
commit 3d0ad09412ffe00c9afa201d01effdb6023d09b4 upstream.

IPv6 does not allow fragmentation by routers, so there is no
fragmentation ID in the fixed header.  UFO for IPv6 requires the ID to
be passed separately, but there is no provision for this in the virtio
net protocol.

Until recently our software implementation of UFO/IPv6 generated a new
ID, but this was a bug.  Now we will use ID=0 for any UFO/IPv6 packet
passed through a tap, which is even worse.

Unfortunately there is no distinction between UFO/IPv4 and v6
features, so disable UFO on taps and virtio_net completely until we
have a proper solution.

We cannot depend on VM managers respecting the tap feature flags, so
keep accepting UFO packets but log a warning the first time we do
this.

commit 85c8555ff07ef09261bd50d603cd4290cff5a8cc upstream.

Read-only memory ranges may be backed by the zero page, so avoid
misidentifying it a a MMIO pfn.

This fixes another issue I identified when testing QEMU+KVM_UEFI, where
a read to an uninitialized emulated NOR flash brought in the zero page,
but mapped as a read-write device region, because kvm_is_mmio_pfn()
misidentifies it as a MMIO pfn due to its PG_reserved bit being set.

commit 0b70068e47e8f0c813a902dc3d6def601fd15acb upstream.

In order to make the static inline function is_zero_pfn() callable by
modules, export its symbol dependencies 'zero_pfn' and (for s390 and
mips) 'zero_page_mask'.

We need this for KVM, as CONFIG_KVM is a tristate for all supported
architectures except ARM and arm64, and testing a pfn whether it refers
to the zero page is required to correctly distinguish the zero page
from other special RAM ranges that may also have the PG_reserved bit
set, but need to be treated as MMIO memory.

commit 139b6a6fb1539e04b01663d61baff3088c63dbb5 upstream.

Dave Jones reports the following crash when find_get_pages_tag() runs
into an exceptional entry:

  kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1347!

  1347                         BUG();

After commit 0cd6144aadd2 ("mm + fs: prepare for non-page entries in
page cache radix trees") this comment and BUG() are out of date because
exceptional entries can now appear in all mappings - as shadows of
recently evicted pages.

However, as Hugh Dickins notes,

  "it is truly surprising for a PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK (and probably
   any other PAGECACHE_TAG_*) to appear on an exceptional entry.

   I expect it comes down to an occasional race in RCU lookup of the
   radix_tree: lacking absolute synchronization, we might sometimes
   catch an exceptional entry, with the tag which really belongs with
   the unexceptional entry which was there an instant before."

And indeed, not only is the tree walk lockless, the tags are also read
in chunks, one radix tree node at a time.  There is plenty of time for
page reclaim to swoop in and replace a page that was already looked up
as tagged with a shadow entry.

Remove the BUG() and update the comment.  While reviewing all other
lookup sites for whether they properly deal with shadow entries of
evicted pages, update all the comments and fix memcg file charge moving
to not miss shmem/tmpfs swapcache pages.
