[ Upstream commit 6ac3484fb13b2fc7f31cfc7f56093e7d0ce646a5 ]

A dynamic remove/add storage adapter test hits EEH on PowerPC:

A PCIe bus trace reveals that a vector of MSI-X is cleared to 0 by
irqbalance daemon. If we disable irqbalance daemon, we won't see the
issue.

During adapter reset, ipr device driver blocks config space access but
can't block MMIO access for MSI-X entries.  There is very small window:
irqbalance daemon kicks in during adapter reset before ipr driver calls
pci_restore_state(pdev) to restore MSI-X table.

irqbalance daemon reads back all 0 for that MSI-X vector in
__pci_read_msi_msg().

irqbalance daemon:

  msi_domain_set_affinity()
  -&gt;irq_chip_set_affinity_patent()
  -&gt;xive_irq_set_affinity()
  -&gt;irq_chip_compose_msi_msg()
    -&gt;pseries_msi_compose_msg()
    -&gt;__pci_read_msi_msg(): read all 0 since didn't call pci_restore_state
  -&gt;irq_chip_write_msi_msg()
    -&gt; pci_write_msg_msi(): write 0 to the msix vector entry

When ipr driver calls pci_restore_state(pdev) in
ipr_reset_restore_cfg_space(), the MSI-X vector entry has been cleared
by irqbalance daemon in pci_write_msg_msix().

  pci_restore_state()
  -&gt;__pci_restore_msix_state()

Below is the MSI-X table for ipr adapter after irqbalance daemon kicked
in during adapter reset:

  Dump MSIx table: index=0 address_lo=c800 address_hi=10000000 msg_data=0
  Dump MSIx table: index=1 address_lo=c810 address_hi=10000000 msg_data=0

IRQ balancing is not required during adapter reset.

Enable "IRQ_NO_BALANCING" flag before starting adapter reset and disable
it after calling pci_restore_state(). The irqbalance daemon is disabled
for this short period of time (~2s).

<title>scsi: ipr: Work around fortify-string warning</title>

[ Upstream commit ee4e7dfe4ffc9ca50c6875757bd119abfe22b5c5 ]

The ipr_log_vpd_compact() function triggers a fortified memcpy() warning
about a potential string overflow with all versions of clang:

In file included from drivers/scsi/ipr.c:43:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:254:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
                        __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
                        ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
2 errors generated.

I don't see anything actually wrong with the function, but this is the only
instance I can reproduce of the fortification going wrong in the kernel at
the moment, so the easiest solution may be to rewrite the function into
something that does not trigger the warning.

Instead of having a combined buffer for vendor/device/serial strings, use
three separate local variables and just truncate the whitespace
individually.

 drivers/scsi/ipr.c:5335: warning: expecting prototype for ipr_eh_dev_reset(). Prototype was for __ipr_eh_dev_reset() instead
 drivers/scsi/ipr.c:5594: warning: expecting prototype for ipr_eh_abort(). Prototype was for ipr_scan_finished() instead
 drivers/scsi/ipr.c:5616: warning: expecting prototype for ipr_eh_host_reset(). Prototype was for ipr_eh_abort() instead
 drivers/scsi/ipr.c:6725: warning: expecting prototype for ipr_info(). Prototype was for ipr_ioa_info() instead
