dm writecache: remove BUG() and fail gracefully instead

2020-12-11T12:22:13+00:00

commit 857c4c0a8b2888d806f4308c58f59a6a81a1dee9 upstream. Building on arch/s390/ results in this build error: cc1: some warnings being treated as errors ../drivers/md/dm-writecache.c: In function 'persistent_memory_claim': ../drivers/md/dm-writecache.c:323:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type] Fix this by replacing the BUG() with an -EOPNOTSUPP return.

dm writecache: fix the maximum number of arguments

2020-12-11T12:22:09+00:00

commit 67aa3ec3dbc43d6e34401d9b2a40040ff7bb57af upstream. Advance the maximum number of arguments to 16. This fixes issue where certain operations, combined with table configured args, exceed 10 arguments.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-11-04T17:09:05+00:00

commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream. In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Revert "x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()"

2020-11-04T17:08:28+00:00

This reverts commit a85748ed9eb70108f9605558f2754ca94ee91401 which is commit ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 upstream. We had a mistake when merging a later patch in this series due to some file movements, so revert this change for now, as we will add it back in a later commit. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

dm writecache: handle DAX to partitions on persistent memory correctly

2020-09-01T20:41:55+00:00

The function dax_direct_access doesn't take partitions into account, it always maps pages from the beginning of the device. Therefore, persistent_memory_claim() must get the partition offset using get_start_sect() and add it to the page offsets passed to dax_direct_access().

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.
