      cxl: Fix build failure due to -Wunused-variable behaviour change · 2cd55c68
      Ian Munsie authored
      A recent change in gcc caused this build failure:
      
      /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/gcc_kernel_build/linux/drivers/misc/cxl/cxl.h:72:27:
      error: ‘CXL_PSL_DLCNTL’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable]
       static const cxl_p1_reg_t CXL_PSL_DLCNTL  = {0x0060};
      
      Because of this gcc commit:
      
      Commit 1bca8cbd0c68366f07277f98ce6963e10c2aa617 by mark
      PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised variables in C
      12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about
      static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[]
      strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the
      bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of
      rcsids is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default
      to warn about unused static const variables in C with
      -Wunused-variable. And it adds a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable
      to turn this warning off. For C++ this new warning is off by default,
      since const variables can be used as #defines in C++. New testcases for
      the new defaults in C and C++ are included testing the new warning and
      suppressing it with an unused attribute or using
      -Wno-unused-const-variable. gcc/ChangeLog
      
      The cxl driver uses static consts in place of #defines in some cases
      for type safety, so this change causes the driver to fail to build on
      new copilers as these constants are not all used in every file that
      imports the header. Suppress the warning for this driver to return to
      the old behaviour of -Wunused-variable.

      cxl: Fix unbalanced pci_dev_get in cxl_probe · 2925c2fd
      Daniel Axtens authored
      Currently the first thing we do in cxl_probe is to grab a reference
      on the pci device. Later on, we call device_register on our adapter.
      In our remove path, we call device_unregister, but we never call
      pci_dev_put. We therefore leak the device every time we do a
      reflash.
      
      device_register/unregister is sufficient to hold the reference.
      Therefore, drop the call to pci_dev_get.
      
      Here's why this is safe.
      The proposed cxl_probe(pdev) calls cxl_adapter_init:
          a) init calls cxl_adapter_alloc, which creates a struct cxl,
             conventionally called adapter. This struct contains a
             device entry, adapter->dev.
      
          b) init calls cxl_configure_adapter, where we set
             adapter->dev.parent = &dev->dev (here dev is the pci dev)
      
      So at this point, the cxl adapter's device's parent is the PCI
      device that I want to be refcounted properly.
      
          c) init calls cxl_register_adapter
             *) cxl_register_adapter calls device_register(&adapter->dev)
      
      So now we're in device_register, where dev is the adapter device, and
      we want to know if the PCI device is safe after we return.
      
      device_register(&adapter->dev) calls device_initialize() and then
      device_add().
      
      device_add() does a get_device(). device_add() also explicitly grabs
      the device's parent, and calls get_device() on it:
      
               parent = get_device(dev->parent);
      
      So therefore, device_register() takes a lock on the parent PCI dev,
      which is what pci_dev_get() was guarding. pci_dev_get() can therefore
      be safely removed.

      powerpc/MSI: Fix race condition in tearing down MSI interrupts · e297c939
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This fixes a race which can result in the same virtual IRQ number
      being assigned to two different MSI interrupts.  The most visible
      consequence of that is usually a warning and stack trace from the
      sysfs code about an attempt to create a duplicate entry in sysfs.
      
      The race happens when one CPU (say CPU 0) is disposing of an MSI
      while another CPU (say CPU 1) is setting up an MSI.  CPU 0 calls
      (for example) pnv_teardown_msi_irqs(), which calls
      msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() to indicate that the MSI (i.e. its
      hardware IRQ number) is no longer in use.  Then, before CPU 0 gets
      to calling irq_dispose_mapping() to free up the virtal IRQ number,
      CPU 1 comes in and calls msi_bitmap_alloc_hwirqs() to allocate an
      MSI, and gets the same hardware IRQ number that CPU 0 just freed.
      CPU 1 then calls irq_create_mapping() to get a virtual IRQ number,
      which sees that there is currently a mapping for that hardware IRQ
      number and returns the corresponding virtual IRQ number (which is
      the same virtual IRQ number that CPU 0 was using).  CPU 0 then
      calls irq_dispose_mapping() and frees that virtual IRQ number.
      Now, if another CPU comes along and calls irq_create_mapping(), it
      is likely to get the virtual IRQ number that was just freed,
      resulting in the same virtual IRQ number apparently being used for
      two different hardware interrupts.
      
      To fix this race, we just move the call to msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs()
      to after the call to irq_dispose_mapping().  Since virq_to_hw()
      doesn't work for the virtual IRQ number after irq_dispose_mapping()
      has been called, we need to call it before irq_dispose_mapping() and
      remember the result for the msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() call.
      
      The pattern of calling msi_bitmap_free_hwirqs() before
      irq_dispose_mapping() appears in 5 places under arch/powerpc, and
      appears to have originated in commit 05af7bd2 ("[POWERPC] MPIC
      U3/U4 MSI backend") from 2007.

      cxl: abort cxl_pci_enable_device_hook() if PCI channel is offline · 7d1647dc
      Andrew Donnellan authored
      cxl_pci_enable_device_hook() is called when attempting to enable an AFU
      sitting on a vPHB. At present, the state of the underlying CXL card's PCI
      channel is only checked when it calls cxl_afu_check_and_enable() at the
      very end, after it has already set DMA options and initialised a default
      context.
      
      Check the CXL card's link status before setting DMA options or initialising
      a default context. If the link is down, print a warning and return
      immediately.

      powerpc/powernv/pci-ioda: fix kdump with non-power-of-2 crashkernel= · fa144869
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      The 32-bit TCE table initialization relies on the DMA window having a
      size equal to a power of 2 (and checks for it explicitly). But
      crashkernel= has no constraint that requires a power-of-2 be specified.
      This causes the kdump kernel to fail to boot as none of the PCI devices
      (including the disk controller) are successfully initialized.
      
      After this change, the PCI devices successfully set up the 32-bit TCE
      table and kdump succeeds.

      powerpc/powernv/pci-ioda: fix 32-bit TCE table init in kdump kernel · bb005455
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      When attempting to kdump with the 4.2 kernel, we see for each PCI
      device:
      
       pci 0003:01     : [PE# 000] Assign DMA32 space
       pci 0003:01     : [PE# 000] Setting up 32-bit TCE table at 0..80000000

      and eventually the kdump kernel fails to boot as none of the PCI devices
      (including the disk controller) are successfully initialized.
      
      The EINVAL response is because the DMA window (the 2GB base window) is
      larger than the kdump kernel's reserved memory (crashkernel=, in this
      case specified to be 1024M). The check in question,
      
       if ((window_size > memory_hotplug_max()) || !is_power_of_2(window_size))
      
      is a valid sanity check for pnv_pci_ioda2_table_alloc_pages(), so adjust
      the caller to pass in a smaller window size if our maximum memory value
      is smaller than the DMA window.
      
      After this change, the PCI devices successfully set up the 32-bit TCE
      table and kdump succeeds.
      
      The problem was seen on a Firestone machine originally.

        Zhao Lie continues cleaning and fixing things, this series fixes some
        really hard to hit corners in xfstests.  I had to pull it last merge
        window due to some deadlocks, but those are now resolved.
      
        I added support for Tejun's new blkio controllers.  It seems to work
        well for single devices, we'll expand to multi-device as well"

       - a few misc things
      
       - Andy's "ambient capabilities"
      
       - fs/nofity updates
      
       - the ocfs2 queue
      
       - kernel/watchdog.c updates and feature work.
      
       - some of MM.  Includes Andrea's userfaultfd feature.
      
      [ Hadn't noticed that userfaultfd was 'default y' when applying the
        patches, so that got fixed in this merge instead.  We do _not_ mark
        new features that nobody uses yet 'default y'   - Linus ]

      task_work: remove fifo ordering guarantee · c8219906
      Eric Dumazet authored
      In commit f341861f ("task_work: add a scheduling point in
      task_work_run()") I fixed a latency problem adding a cond_resched()
      call.
      
      Later, commit ac3d0da8 added yet another loop to reverse a list,
      bringing back the latency spike :
      
      I've seen in some cases this loop taking 275 ms, if for example a
      process with 2,000,000 files is killed.
      
      We could add yet another cond_resched() in the reverse loop, or we
      can simply remove the reversal, as I do not think anything
      would depend on order of task_work_add() submitted works.
      
      Fixes: ac3d0da8 ("task_work: Make task_work_add() lockless")
