Under some special circumstances, the EEH device doesn't have the associated device tree node or PCI device. The patch enhances those functions converting EEH device to device tree node or PCI device accordingly to avoid unnecessary system crash. Signed-off-by:

While running Linux as guest on top of phyp, we possiblly have PE that includes single PCI device. However, we didn't return its PCI bus correctly and it leads to failure on recovery from EEH errors for single-dev-PE. The patch fixes the issue.

On BookE (Branch taken + Single Step) is as same as Branch Taken on BookS and in Linux we simulate BookS behavior for BookE as well. When doing so, in Branch taken handling we want to set DBCR0_IC but we update the current->thread->dbcr0 and not DBCR0. Now on 64bit the current->thread.dbcr0 (and other debug registers) is synchronized ONLY on context switch flow. But after handling Branch taken in debug exception if we return back to user space without context switch then single stepping change (DBCR0_ICMP) does not get written in h/w DBCR0 and Instruction Complete exception does not happen. This fixes using ptrace reliably on BookE-PowerPC lmbench latency test (lat_syscall) Results are (they varies a little on each run) 1) ./lat_syscall <action> /dev/shm/uImage action: Open read write stat fstat null Before: 3.8618 0.2017 0.2851 1.6789 0.2256 0.0856 After: 3.8580 0.2017 0.2851 1.6955 0.2255 0.0856 1) ./lat_syscall -P 2 -N 10 <action> /dev/shm/uImage action: Open read write stat fstat null Before: 4.1388 0.2238 0.3066 1.7106 0.2256 0.0856 After: 4.1413 0.2236 0.3062 1.7107 0.2256 0.0856 [ Slightly modified to avoid extra branch in the fast path on Book3S and fix build on all non-BookE 64-bit -- BenH ] Signed-off-by:

VFIO implements platform independent stuff such as a PCI driver, BAR access (via read/write on a file descriptor or direct mapping when possible) and IRQ signaling. The platform dependent part includes IOMMU initialization and handling. This implements an IOMMU driver for VFIO which does mapping/unmapping pages for the guest IO and provides information about DMA window (required by a POWER guest).

This initializes IOMMU groups based on the IOMMU configuration discovered during the PCI scan on POWERNV (POWER non virtualized) platform. The IOMMU groups are to be used later by the VFIO driver, which is used for PCI pass through. It also implements an API for mapping/unmapping pages for guest PCI drivers and providing DMA window properties. This API is going to be used later by QEMU-VFIO to handle h_put_tce hypercalls from the KVM guest. The iommu_put_tce_user_mode() does only a single page mapping as an API for adding many mappings at once is going to be added later. Although this driver has been tested only on the POWERNV platform, it should work on any platform which supports TCE tables. As h_put_tce hypercall is received by the host kernel and processed by the QEMU (what involves calling the host kernel again), performance is not the best - circa 220MB/s on 10Gb ethernet network. To enable VFIO on POWER, enable SPAPR_TCE_IOMMU config option and configure VFIO as required. Cc: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by:

Previously in order to handle the edge sensitive decrementers, we choose to set the decrementer to 1 to trigger a decrementer interrupt when re-enabling interrupts. But with the rework of the lazy EE, we would replay the decrementer interrupt when re-enabling interrupts if a decrementer interrupt occurs with irq soft-disabled. So there is no need to trigger a decrementer interrupt in this case any more. Signed-off-by:

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney: "I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing. This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions: 1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle. This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle() tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously) confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not. This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and therefore random memory corruption. 2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks. Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock. 3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels, but really does occur in randconfig testing.

* More tweaking to the EFI variable anti-bricking algorithm. Quite a few users were reporting boot regressions in v3.9. This has now been fixed with a more accurate "minimum storage requirement to avoid bricking" value from Samsung (5K instead of 50%) and code to trigger garbage collection when we near our limit - Matthew Garrett.

There are cases where the kernel will believe that the WRITE SAME command is supported by a block device which does not, in fact, support WRITE SAME. This currently happens for SATA drivers behind a SAS controller, but there are probably a hundred other ways that can happen, including drive firmware bugs. After receiving an error for WRITE SAME the block layer will retry the request as a plain write of zeroes, but mdraid will consider the failure as fatal and consider the drive failed. This has the effect that all the mirrors containing a specific set of data are each offlined in very rapid succession resulting in data loss. However, just bouncing the request back up to the block layer isn't ideal either, because the whole initial request-retry sequence should be inside the write bitmap fence, which probably means that md needs to do its own conversion of WRITE SAME to write zero. Until the failure scenario has been sorted out, disable WRITE SAME for raid1, raid5, and raid10. [neilb: added raid5] This patch is appropriate for any -stable since 3.7 when write_same support was added. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

Various places in raid1 and raid10 are calling raise_barrier when they really should call freeze_array. The former is only intended to be called from "make_request". The later has extra checks for 'nr_queued' and makes a call to flush_pending_writes(), so it is safe to call it from within the management thread. Using raise_barrier will sometimes deadlock. Using freeze_array should not. As 'freeze_array' currently expects one request to be pending (in handle_read_error - the only previous caller), we need to pass it the number of pending requests (extra) to ignore. The deadlock was made particularly noticeable by commits 050b6615 (raid10) and 6b740b8d (raid1) which appeared in 3.4, so the fix is appropriate for any -stable kernel since then. This patch probably won't apply directly to some early kernels and will need to be applied by hand. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by:

md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and non-rebuilding drive completed it. Without that fix, the following scenario could happen: - RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding - Drive A fails - WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_Uptodate. - r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled, md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive of raid1 - raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio() - As a result, in call_bio_endio(): if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state)) clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags); this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer. So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data is lost. [neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well] This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

__md_stop_writes() will currently sometimes freeze recovery. So any caller must be ready for that to happen, and indeed they are. However if __md_stop_writes() doesn't freeze_recovery, then a recovery could start before mddev_suspend() is called, which could be awkward. This can particularly cause problems or dm-raid. So change __md_stop_writes() to always freeze recovery. This is safe and more predicatable. Reported-by:

Pull networking update from David Miller: 1) Fix dump iterator in nfnl_acct_dump() and ctnl_timeout_dump() to dump all objects properly, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 2) xt_TCPMSS must use the default MSS of 536 when no MSS TCP option is present. Fix from Phil Oester. 3) qdisc_get_rtab() looks for an existing matching rate table and uses that instead of creating a new one. However, it's key matching is incomplete, it fails to check to make sure the ->data[] array is identical too. Fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) ip_vs_dest_entry isn't fully initialized before copying back to userspace, fix from Dan Carpenter. 5) Fix ubuf reference counting regression in vhost_net, from Jason Wang. 6) When sock_diag dumps a socket filter back to userspace, we have to translate it out of the kernel's internal representation first. From Nicolas Dichtel. 7) davinci_mdio holds a spinlock while calling pm_runtime, which sleeps. Fix from Sebastian Siewior. 8) Timeout check in sh_eth_check_reset is off by one, from Sergei Shtylyov. 9) If sctp socket init fails, we can NULL deref during cleanup. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 10) netlink_mmap() does not propagate errors properly, from Patrick McHardy. 11) Disable powersave and use minstrel by default in ath9k. From Sujith Manoharan. 12) Fix a regression in that SOCK_ZEROCOPY is not set on tuntap sockets which prevents vhost from being able to use zerocopy. From Jason Wang. 13) Fix race between port lookup and TX path in team driver, from Jiri Pirko. 14) Missing length checks in bluetooth L2CAP packet parsing, from Johan Hedberg. 15) rtlwifi fails to connect to networking using any encryption method other than WPA2.
