commit d2d2e3c46be5d6dd8001d0eebdf7cafb9bc7006b upstream.

Sometimes memory resource may be overlapping with
SystemMemory Operation Region by design, for example if the
memory region is used as a mailbox for communication with a
firmware in the system. One occasion of such mailboxes is
USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface (UCSI).

With regions like that, it is important that the driver is
able to map the memory with the requirements it has. For
example, the driver should be allowed to map the memory as
non-cached memory. However, if the operation region has been
accessed before the driver has mapped the memory, the memory
has been marked as write-back by the time the driver is
loaded. That means the driver will fail to map the memory
if it expects non-cached memory.

To work around the problem, introducing helper that the
drivers can use to temporarily deactivate (unmap)
SystemMemory Operation Regions that overlap with their
IO memory.

commit 15bfd21fbc5d35834b9ea383dc458a1f0c9e3434 upstream.

A device may have boundary restrictions where the number of sectors
between boundaries exceeds its max transfer size. In this case, we need
to cap the max size to the smaller of the two limits.

<title>slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache</title>

<id>urn:sha1:916c0db51d3a3b2778a0b8daf1f2260258729ce9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d50d82faa0c964e31f7a946ba8aba7c715ca7ab0 upstream.

In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

Running device-mapper-test-suite with:

  dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /commit_failure_causes_fallback/

triggered:

<title>branch-check: fix long-&gt;int truncation when profiling branches</title>

commit 2026d35741f2c3ece73c11eb7e4a15d7c2df9ebe upstream.

The function __builtin_expect returns long type (see the gcc
documentation), and so do macros likely and unlikely. Unfortunatelly, when
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is selected, the macros likely and
unlikely expand to __branch_check__ and __branch_check__ truncates the
long type to int. This unintended truncation may cause bugs in various
kernel code (we found a bug in dm-writecache because of it), so it's
better to fix __branch_check__ to return long.

<content type='text'>
commit f642fb5864a6e3645edce6f85ffe7b44d5e9b990 upstream.

Add a new function to "adjust" the current fixed UV memory block size
of 2GB so it can be changed to a different physical boundary.  This is
out of necessity so arch dependent code can accommodate specific BIOS
requirements which can align these new PMEM modules at less than the
default boundaries.

A "set order" type of function was used to insure that the memory block
size will be a power of two value without requiring a validity check.
64GB was chosen as the upper limit for memory block size values to
accommodate upcoming 4PB systems which have 6 more bits of physical
address space (46 becoming 52).

commit d340ebd696f921d3ad01b8c0c29dd38f2ad2bf3e upstream.

The upcoming fix for the -EBUSY return from affinity settings requires to
use the irq_move_irq() functionality even on irq remapped interrupts. To
avoid the out of line call, move the check for the pending bit into an
inline helper.

Preparatory change for the real fix. No functional change.

[ Upstream commit fd3a88625844907151737fc3b4201676effa6d27 ]

Tun, tap, virtio, packet and uml vector all use struct virtio_net_hdr
to communicate packet metadata to userspace.

For skbuffs with vlan, the first two return the packet as it may have
existed on the wire, inserting the VLAN tag in the user buffer.  Then
virtio_net_hdr.csum_start needs to be adjusted by VLAN_HLEN bytes.

Commit f09e2249c4f5 ("macvtap: restore vlan header on user read")
added this feature to macvtap. Commit 3ce9b20f1971 ("macvtap: Fix
csum_start when VLAN tags are present") then fixed up csum_start.

Virtio, packet and uml do not insert the vlan header in the user
buffer.

When introducing virtio_net_hdr_from_skb to deduplicate filling in
the virtio_net_hdr, the variant from macvtap which adds VLAN_HLEN was
applied uniformly, breaking csum offset for packets with vlan on
virtio and packet.

Make insertion of VLAN_HLEN optional. Convert the callers to pass it
when needed.

[ Upstream commit e783bb00ad86d9d1f01d9d3a750713070036358e ]

commit 0bbbf0e7d0e7 ("ipmr, ip6mr: Unite creation of new mr_table")
refactored ipmr_new_table, so that it now returns NULL when
mr_table_alloc fails. Unfortunately, all callers of ipmr_new_table
expect an ERR_PTR.

This can result in NULL deref, for example when ipmr_rules_exit calls
ipmr_free_table with NULL net-&gt;ipv4.mrt in the
!CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES version.

This patch makes mr_table_alloc return errors, and changes
ip6mr_new_table and its callers to return/expect error pointers as
well. It also removes the version of mr_table_alloc defined under
!CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_COMMON, since it is never used.
