commit 376991db4b6464e906d699ef07681e2ffa8ab08c upstream.

When unbinding the (IOMMU-enabled) R-Car SATA device on Salvator-XS
(R-Car H3 ES2.0), in preparation of rebinding against vfio-platform for
device pass-through for virtualization:

    echo ee300000.sata &gt; /sys/bus/platform/drivers/sata_rcar/unbind

the kernel crashes with:

While I've bisected this to commit e8e683ae9a736407 ("iommu/of: Fix
probe-deferral"), and reverting that commit on post-v5.0-rc4 kernels
does fix the problem, this turned out to be a red herring.

On arm64, arch_teardown_dma_ops() resets dev-&gt;dma_ops to NULL.
Hence if a driver has used a managed DMA allocation API, the allocated
DMA memory will be freed using the direct DMA ops, while it may have
been allocated using a custom DMA ops (iommu_dma_ops in this case).

Fix this by reversing the order of the calls to devres_release_all() and
arch_teardown_dma_ops().

commit 3a34c986324c07dde32903f7bb262e6138e77c2a upstream.

Commit 448a5a552f336bd7b847b1951 ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: use OF
property_read_u32 instead of get_property,read_number") makes cache
size and number_of_sets be 0 if DT doesn't provide there values. I
think this is unreasonable so make them keep the old values, which is
the same as old kernels.

[ Upstream commit df44b479654f62b478c18ee4d8bc4e9f897a9844 ]

Propagate error code back to userspace if writing the /sys/.../uevent
file fails. Before, the write operation always returned with success,
even if we failed to recognize the input string or if we failed to
generate the uevent itself.

With the error codes properly propagated back to userspace, we are
able to react in userspace accordingly by not assuming and awaiting
a uevent that is not delivered.

[ Upstream commit c37d721c68ad88925ba0e72f6e14acb829a8c6bb ]

Move the async_synchronize_full call out of __device_release_driver and
into driver_detach.

The idea behind this is that the async_synchronize_full call will only
guarantee that any existing async operations are flushed. This doesn't do
anything to guarantee that a hotplug event that may occur while we are
doing the release of the driver will not be asynchronously scheduled.

By moving this into the driver_detach path we can avoid potential deadlocks
as we aren't holding the device lock at this point and we should not have
the driver we want to flush loaded so the flush will take care of any
asynchronous events the driver we are detaching might have scheduled.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4f4b374332ec0ae9c738ff8ec9bed5cd97ff9adc ]

This is the much more correct fix for my earlier attempt at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/10/118

Short recap:

- There's not actually a locking issue, it's just lockdep being a bit
  too eager to complain about a possible deadlock.

- Contrary to what I claimed the real problem is recursion on
  kn-&gt;count. Greg pointed me at sysfs_break_active_protection(), used
  by the scsi subsystem to allow a sysfs file to unbind itself. That
  would be a real deadlock, which isn't what's happening here. Also,
  breaking the active protection means we'd need to manually handle
  all the lifetime fun.

- With Rafael we discussed the task_work approach, which kinda works,
  but has two downsides: It's a functional change for a lockdep
  annotation issue, and it won't work for the bind file (which needs
  to get the errno from the driver load function back to userspace).

- Greg also asked why this never showed up: To hit this you need to
  unregister a 2nd driver from the unload code of your first driver. I
  guess only gpus do that. The bug has always been there, but only
  with a recent patch series did we add more locks so that lockdep
  built a chain from unbinding the snd-hda driver to the
  acpi_video_unregister call.

Full lockdep splat:

Looking around I've noticed that usb and i2c already handle similar
recursion problems, where a sysfs file can unbind the same type of
sysfs somewhere else in the hierarchy. Relevant commits are:

commit e121a833745b4708b660e3fe6776129c2956b041 upstream.

__device_release_driver() has to check dev-&gt;bus-&gt;need_parent_lock
before dropping the parent lock and acquiring it again as it may
attempt to drop a lock that hasn't been acquired or lock a device
that shouldn't be locked and create a lock imbalance.

Fixes: 8c97a46af04b (driver core: hold dev's parent lock when needed)

<content type='text'>
commit 81b1e6e6a8590a19257e37a1633bec098d499c57 upstream.

Since the addition of platform MSI support, there were two helpers
supposed to allocate/free IRQs for a device:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc_irqs()
    platform_msi_domain_free_irqs()

In these helpers, IRQ descriptors are allocated in the "alloc" routine
while they are freed in the "free" one.

Later, two other helpers have been added to handle IRQ domains on top
of MSI domains:

    platform_msi_domain_alloc()
    platform_msi_domain_free()

Seen from the outside, the logic is pretty close with the former
helpers and people used it with the same logic as before: a
platform_msi_domain_alloc() call should be balanced with a
platform_msi_domain_free() call. While this is probably what was
intended to do, the platform_msi_domain_free() does not remove/free
the IRQ descriptor(s) created/inserted in
platform_msi_domain_alloc().

One effect of such situation is that removing a module that requested
an IRQ will let one orphaned IRQ descriptor (with an allocated MSI
entry) in the device descriptors list. Next time the module will be
inserted back, one will observe that the allocation will happen twice
in the MSI domain, one time for the remaining descriptor, one time for
the new one. It also has the side effect to quickly overshoot the
maximum number of allocated MSI and then prevent any module requesting
an interrupt in the same domain to be inserted anymore.

This situation has been met with loops of insertion/removal of the
mvpp2.ko module (requesting 15 MSIs each time).

Fixes: 552c494a7666 ("platform-msi: Allow creation of a MSI-based stacked irq domain")

<title>devres: Align data[] to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN</title>

Initially we bumped into problem with 32-bit aligned atomic64_t
on ARC, see [1]. And then during quite lengthly discussion Peter Z.
mentioned ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN which IMHO makes perfect sense.
If allocation is done by plain kmalloc() obtained buffer will be
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN aligned and then why buffer obtained via
devm_kmalloc() should have any other alignment?

This way we at least get the same behavior for both types of
allocation.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: fix online/offline_pages called w.o. mem_hotplug_lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:381eab4a6ee81266f8dddc62e57376c7e584e5b8</id>
<content type='text'>
There seem to be some problems as result of 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug:
fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock"), which tried to fix a possible
lock inversion reported and discussed in [1] due to the two locks
	a) device_lock()
	b) mem_hotplug_lock

While add_memory() first takes b), followed by a) during
bus_probe_device(), onlining of memory from user space first took a),
followed by b), exposing a possible deadlock.

In [1], and it was decided to not make use of device_hotplug_lock, but
rather to enforce a locking order.

The problems I spotted related to this:

1. Memory block device attributes: While .state first calls
   mem_hotplug_begin() and the calls device_online() - which takes
   device_lock() - .online does no longer call mem_hotplug_begin(), so
   effectively calls online_pages() without mem_hotplug_lock.

2. device_online() should be called under device_hotplug_lock, however
   onlining memory during add_memory() does not take care of that.

In addition, I think there is also something wrong about the locking in

3. arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c calls offline_pages()
   without locks. This was introduced after 30467e0b3be. And skimming over
   the code, I assume it could need some more care in regards to locking
   (e.g. device_online() called without device_hotplug_lock. This will
   be addressed in the following patches.

Now that we hold the device_hotplug_lock when
- adding memory (e.g. via add_memory()/add_memory_resource())
- removing memory (e.g. via remove_memory())
- device_online()/device_offline()

We can move mem_hotplug_lock usage back into
online_pages()/offline_pages().

Why is mem_hotplug_lock still needed? Essentially to make
get_online_mems()/put_online_mems() be very fast (relying on
device_hotplug_lock would be very slow), and to serialize against
addition of memory that does not create memory block devices (hmm).

[1] http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/ driverdev-devel/
    2015-February/065324.html

This patch is partly based on a patch by Vitaly Kuznetsov.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: make add_memory() take the device_hotplug_lock</title>

add_memory() currently does not take the device_hotplug_lock, however
is aleady called under the lock from
	arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/hotplug-memory.c
	drivers/acpi/acpi_memhotplug.c
to synchronize against CPU hot-remove and similar.

In general, we should hold the device_hotplug_lock when adding memory to
synchronize against online/offline request (e.g.  from user space) - which
already resulted in lock inversions due to device_lock() and
mem_hotplug_lock - see 30467e0b3be ("mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory
hot-add deadlock").  add_memory()/add_memory_resource() will create memory
block devices, so this really feels like the right thing to do.

Holding the device_hotplug_lock makes sure that a memory block device
can really only be accessed (e.g. via .online/.state) from user space,
once the memory has been fully added to the system.

The lock is not held yet in
	drivers/xen/balloon.c
	arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/memtrace.c
	drivers/s390/char/sclp_cmd.c
	drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c
So, let's either use the locked variants or take the lock.

Don't export add_memory_resource(), as it once was exported to be used by
XEN, which is never built as a module.  If somebody requires it, we also
have to export a locked variant (as device_hotplug_lock is never
exported).
