[ Upstream commit f2365a63b02ddea32e7db78b742c2503ec7b81f1 ]

Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write
pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that
can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.

This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified
pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user
action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex.
reset) use dedicated storage units.

Note mlx5_vhca_page_tracker.status is relocated to fill the alignment
hole this split exposes.

Bitfield justifications:

  migrate_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe
  chunk_mode: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe
  mig_state_cap: written only in mlx5vf_cmd_set_migratable() at probe

Dedicated storage units:

  mdev_detach: written in the VF attach/detach event notifier
               mlx5fv_vf_event() at runtime
  log_active: written in mlx5vf_start_page_tracker()/
              mlx5vf_stop_page_tracker() during runtime dirty tracking
  deferred_reset: written in mlx5vf_state_mutex_unlock()/
                  mlx5vf_pci_aer_reset_done() during runtime reset handling
  is_err: set by tracker error handling and dirty-log polling at runtime
  object_changed: set by tracker event handling and cleared by dirty-log
                  polling at runtime

Fixes: 61a2f1460fd0 ("vfio/mlx5: Manage the VF attach/detach callback from the PF")
Fixes: 79c3cf279926 ("vfio/mlx5: Init QP based resources for dirty tracking")

<title>vfio/pci: Latch disable_idle_d3 per device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:332d785f9ae426eeeb92527872adf09d84101ba3</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4575e9aac5336d1365138c0284773bf8da4b1fa3 ]

When disable_idle_d3 was introduced in vfio-pci, it directly manipulated
the device power state with pci_set_power_state().  There were no
refcounts to maintain or balanced operations, we could unconditionally
bring the device to D0 and conditionally move it to D3hot.  Therefore
the module parameter was made writable.

Later, in commit c61302aa48f7 ("vfio/pci: Move module parameters to
vfio_pci.c"), as part of the vfio-pci-core split, the writable aspect
of the module parameter was nullified.  The parameter value could still
be changed through sysfs, but the vfio-pci driver latched the values
into vfio-pci-core globals at module init.  Loading the vfio-pci module,
or unloading and reloading, with non-default or different values could
change the globals relative to existing devices bound to vfio-pci
variant drivers.

Runtime PM was introduced in commit 7ab5e10eda02 ("vfio/pci: Move the
unused device into low power state with runtime PM"), which marks the
point where power states became refcounted.  PM get and put operations
need to be balanced, but the same module operations noted above can
change the global variables relative to those devices already bound to
vfio-pci variant drivers.  This introduces a window where PM operations
can now become unbalanced.

To resolve this with a narrow footprint for stable backports, the
disable_idle_d3 flag is latched into the vfio_pci_core_device at the
time of initialization, such that the device always operates with a
consistent value.

NB. vfio_pci_dev_set_try_reset() now unconditionally raises the
runtime PM usage count around bus reset to account for disable_idle_d3
becoming a per-device rather than global flag.  When this flag is set,
the additional get/put pair is harmless and allows continued use of the
shared vfio_pci_dev_set_pm_runtime_get() helper.

[ Upstream commit 40ef3edf151e184d021917a5c4c771cc0870844a ]

The current implementation uses pci_num_vf() while holding the
memory_lock to prevent changing the power state of a PF when
VFs are enabled. This creates a lockdep circular dependency
warning because memory_lock is held during device probing.

Introduce a private flag 'sriov_active' in the vfio_pci_core_device
struct. This  allows the driver to track the SR-IOV power state requirement
without  relying on pci_num_vf() while holding the memory_lock. The lock is
now  only held to set the flag and ensure the device is in D0, after which
pci_enable_sriov() can be called without the lock.

commit daedde7f024ecf88bc8e832ed40cf2c795f0796a upstream.

The re-order in the Fixes commit below displaced vfio_pci_vga_init() as
the last failure point of what is now vfio_pci_core_register_device()
without introducing an unwind for the VGA arbiter registration.

In current kernels this is mostly benign because vfio_pci_set_decode()
only uses pci_dev state, but the original failure path could leave a
callback with a freed vdev cookie.  The stale registration also becomes
unsafe again once the callback follows drvdata to the vfio device.

Add the required VGA unwind callout.

[ Upstream commit 8be14dd48dfee0df91e511acceb4beeb2461a083 ]

After a RAS error occurs on the accelerator device, the accelerator
device will be reset. The live migration state will be abnormal
after reset, and the original state needs to be restored during
the reset process.
Therefore, reset processing needs to be performed in a live
migration scenario.

[ Upstream commit cb30dfa75d55eced379a42fd67bd5fb7ec38555e ]

If pgshift is 63 then BITS_PER_TYPE(*bitmap-&gt;bitmap) * pgsize will overflow
to 0 and this triggers divide by 0.

In this case the index should just be 0, so reorganize things to divide
by shift and avoid hitting any overflows.

[ Upstream commit 16df67f2189a71a8310bcebddb87ed569e8352be ]

The two implementers of vfio_device_ops.device_feature,
vfio_cdx_ioctl_feature and vfio_pci_core_ioctl_feature, return
-ENOTTY in the fallthrough case when the feature is unsupported. For
consistency, the base case, vfio_ioctl_device_feature, should do the
same when device_feature == NULL, indicating an implementation has no
feature extensions.

[ Upstream commit b3060198483bac43ec113c62ae3837076f61f5de ]

MLX cap pg_track_log_max_msg_size consists of 5 bits, value of which is
used as power of 2 for max_msg_size. This can lead to multiplication
overflow between max_msg_size (u32) and integer constant, and afterwards
incorrect value is being written to rq_size.

Fix this issue by extending integer constant to u64 type.

[ Upstream commit b1779e4f209c7ff7e32f3c79d69bca4e3a3a68b6 ]

A large DMA mapping request can loop through dma address pinning for
many pages. In cases where THP can not be used, the repeated vmf_insert_pfn can
be costly, so let the task reschedule as need to prevent CPU stalls. Failure to
do so has potential harmful side effects, like increased memory pressure
as unrelated rcu tasks are unable to make their reclaim callbacks and
result in OOM conditions.

<title>vfio/pci: Separate SR-IOV VF dev_set</title>

[ Upstream commit e908f58b6beb337cbe4481d52c3f5c78167b1aab ]

In the below noted Fixes commit we introduced a reflck mutex to allow
better scaling between devices for open and close.  The reflck was
based on the hot reset granularity, device level for root bus devices
which cannot support hot reset or bus/slot reset otherwise.  Overlooked
in this were SR-IOV VFs, where there's also no bus reset option, but
the default for a non-root-bus, non-slot-based device is bus level
reflck granularity.

The reflck mutex has since become the dev_set mutex (via commit
2cd8b14aaa66 ("vfio/pci: Move to the device set infrastructure")) and
is our defacto serialization for various operations and ioctls.  It
still seems to be the case though that sets of vfio-pci devices really
only need serialization relative to hot resets affecting the entire
set, which is not relevant to SR-IOV VFs.  As described in the Closes
link below, this serialization contributes to startup latency when
multiple VFs sharing the same "bus" are opened concurrently.

Mark the device itself as the basis of the dev_set for SR-IOV VFs.
