      block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate() · 0873ab02
      Ilya Dryomov authored 
      commit 19b7ccf8 upstream.

Commit 25520d55 ("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->profile)
            disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
                    BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
    else
            disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
                    ~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.

      xen: Revert commits da72ff5b and 72a9b186 · 3ed024e2
      Boris Ostrovsky authored 
      commit 84d582d2 upstream.

Recent discussion (http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=149192184523741)
established that commit 72a9b186 ("xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device") (and thus commit
da72ff5b ("partially revert "xen: Remove event channel
notification through Xen PCI platform device"")) are unnecessary and,
in fact, prevent HVM guests from booting on Xen releases prior to 4.0

Therefore we revert both of those commits.

The summary of that discussion is below:

  Here is the brief summary of the current situation:

  Before the offending commit (72a9b186):

  1) INTx does not work because of the reset_watches path.
  2) The reset_watches path is only taken if you have Xen > 4.0
  3) The Linux Kernel by default will use vector inject if the hypervisor
     support. So even INTx does not work no body running the kernel with
     Xen > 4.0 would notice. Unless he explicitly disabled this feature
     either in the kernel or in Xen (and this can only be disabled by
     modifying the code, not user-supported way to do it).

  After the offending commit (+ partial revert):

  1) INTx is no longer support for HVM (only for PV guests).
  2) Any HVM guest The kernel will not boot on Xen < 4.0 which does
     not have vector injection support. Since the only other mode
     supported is INTx which.

  So based on this summary, I think before commit (72a9b186) we were
  in much better position from a user point of view.

      xen/arm,arm64: fix xen_dma_ops after 815dd187 "Consolidate get_dma_ops..." · 5e25479e
      Stefano Stabellini authored 
      commit e0586326 upstream.

The following commit:

  commit 815dd187
  Author: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com>
  Date:   Fri Jan 20 13:04:04 2017 -0800

      treewide: Consolidate get_dma_ops() implementations

rearranges get_dma_ops in a way that xen_dma_ops are not returned when
running on Xen anymore, dev->dma_ops is returned instead (see
arch/arm/include/asm/dma-mapping.h:get_arch_dma_ops and
include/linux/dma-mapping.h:get_dma_ops).

Fix the problem by storing dev->dma_ops in dev_archdata, and setting
dev->dma_ops to xen_dma_ops. This way, xen_dma_ops is returned naturally
by get_dma_ops. The Xen code can retrieve the original dev->dma_ops from
dev_archdata when needed. It also allows us to remove __generic_dma_ops
from common headers.
