commit 4636e70bb0a8b871998b6841a2e4b205cf2bc863 upstream.

Patch series "mm,dax: Fix data corruption due to mmap inconsistency",
v4.

This series fixes data corruption that can happen for DAX mounts when
page faults race with write(2) and as a result page tables get out of
sync with block mappings in the filesystem and thus data seen through
mmap is different from data seen through read(2).

The series passes testing with t_mmap_stale test program from Ross and
also other mmap related tests on DAX filesystem.

This patch (of 4):

dax_invalidate_mapping_entry() currently removes DAX exceptional entries
only if they are clean and unlocked.  This is done via:

  invalidate_mapping_pages()
    invalidate_exceptional_entry()
      dax_invalidate_mapping_entry()

However, for page cache pages removed in invalidate_mapping_pages()
there is an additional criteria which is that the page must not be
mapped.  This is noted in the comments above invalidate_mapping_pages()
and is checked in invalidate_inode_page().

For DAX entries this means that we can can end up in a situation where a
DAX exceptional entry, either a huge zero page or a regular DAX entry,
could end up mapped but without an associated radix tree entry.  This is
inconsistent with the rest of the DAX code and with what happens in the
page cache case.

We aren't able to unmap the DAX exceptional entry because according to
its comments invalidate_mapping_pages() isn't allowed to block, and
unmap_mapping_range() takes a write lock on the mapping-&gt;i_mmap_rwsem.

Since we essentially never have unmapped DAX entries to evict from the
radix tree, just remove dax_invalidate_mapping_entry().

<title>mm: vmscan: fix IO/refault regression in cache workingset transition</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41a68ab851822e3588952ae9f2709a61a88338f7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2a2e48854d704214dac7546e87ae0e4daa0e61a0 upstream.

Since commit 59dc76b0d4df ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file
list") we noticed bigger IO spikes during changes in cache access
patterns.

The patch in question shrunk the inactive list size to leave more room
for the current workingset in the presence of streaming IO.  However,
workingset transitions that previously happened on the inactive list are
now pushed out of memory and incur more refaults to complete.

This patch disables active list protection when refaults are being
observed.  This accelerates workingset transitions, and allows more of
the new set to establish itself from memory, without eating into the
ability to protect the established workingset during stable periods.

The workloads that were measurably affected for us were hit pretty bad
by it, with refault/majfault rates doubling and tripling during cache
transitions, and the machines sustaining half-hour periods of 100% IO
utilization, where they'd previously have sub-minute peaks at 60-90%.

Stateful services that handle user data tend to be more conservative
with kernel upgrades.  As a result we hit most page cache issues with
some delay, as was the case here.

The severity seemed to warrant a stable tag.

commit 4e335d9e7ddbcf83d03e7fbe65797ebed2272c18 upstream.

This reverts commit bbd6411513aa8ef3ea02abab61318daf87c1af1e.

I've been sitting on this revert for too long and it unfortunately
missed 4.11.  It's also the reason why I haven't merged ring-based
dirty tracking for 4.12.

Using kvm_vcpu_memslots in kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init and
kvm_vcpu_write_guest_offset_cached means that the MSR value can
now be used to access SMRAM, simply by making it point to an SMRAM
physical address.  This is problematic because it lets the guest
OS overwrite memory that it shouldn't be able to touch.

<title>block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0873ab02247ec7453b0758e99f125587bfb4cd85</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 19b7ccf8651df09d274671b53039c672a52ad84d upstream.

Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:

    if (bi-&gt;profile)
            disk-&gt;queue-&gt;backing_dev_info-&gt;capabilities |=
                    BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
    else
            disk-&gt;queue-&gt;backing_dev_info-&gt;capabilities &amp;=
                    ~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;

It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time.  This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.

Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there.  This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

The Ethernet link on an interrupt driven PHY was not coming up if the Ethernet
cable was plugged before the Ethernet interface was brought up.

The patch trigger PHY state machine to update link state if PHY was requested to
do auto-negotiation and auto-negotiation complete flag already set.

During power-up cycle the PHY do auto-negotiation, generate interrupt and set
auto-negotiation complete flag. Interrupt is handled by PHY state machine but
doesn't update link state because PHY is in PHY_READY state. After some time
MAC bring up, start and request PHY to do auto-negotiation. If there are no new
settings to advertise genphy_config_aneg() doesn't start PHY auto-negotiation.
PHY continue to stay in auto-negotiation complete state and doesn't fire
interrupt. At the same time PHY state machine expect that PHY started
auto-negotiation and is waiting for interrupt from PHY and it won't get it.

<content type='text'>
Certain 64-bit systems (e.g. Amlogic Meson GX) require buffers to be
used for DMA to be 8-byte-aligned. struct sdio_func has an embedded
small DMA buffer not meeting this requirement.
When testing switching to descriptor chain mode in meson-gx driver
SDIO is broken therefore. Fix this by allocating the small DMA buffer
separately as kmalloc ensures that the returned memory area is
properly aligned for every basic data type.
