      Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Here's a pull request for 4.11-rc, fixing a set of issues mostly
  centered around the new scheduling framework. These have been brewing
  for a while, but split up into what we absolutely need in 4.11, and
  what we can defer until 4.12. These are well tested, on both single
  queue and multiqueue setups, and with and without shared tags. They
  fix several hangs that have happened in testing.

  This is obviously larger than I would have preferred at this point in
  time, but I don't think we can shave much off this and still get the
  desired results.

  In detail, this pull request contains:

   - a set of five fixes for NVMe, mostly from Christoph and one from
     Roland.

   - a series from Bart, fixing issues with dm-mq and SCSI shared tags
     and scheduling. Note that one of those patches commit messages may
     read like an optimization, but it is in fact an important fix for
     queue restarts in particular.

   - a series from Omar, most importantly fixing a hang with multiple
     hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag. Another important
     fix in there is for resizing hardware queues, which nbd does when
     handling multiple sockets for one connection.

   - fixing an imbalance in putting the ctx for hctx request allocations
     from Minchan"

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull pin control fix from Linus Walleij:
 "This late fix for pin control is hopefully the last I send this cycle.

  The problem was detected early in the v4.11 release cycle and there
  has been some back and forth on how to solve it. Sadly the proper fix
  arrives late, but at least not too late.

  An issue was detected with pin control on the Freescale i.MX after the
  refactorings for more general group and function handling.

  We now have the proper fix for this"

      Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
 "Some more powerpc fixes for 4.11:

  Headed to stable:

   - disable HFSCR[TM] if TM is not supported, fixes a potential host
     kernel crash triggered by a hostile guest, but only in
     configurations that no one uses

   - don't try to fix up misaligned load-with-reservation instructions

   - fix flush_(d|i)cache_range() called from modules on little endian
     kernels

   - add missing global TLB invalidate if cxl is active

   - fix missing preempt_disable() in crc32c-vpmsum

  And a fix for selftests build changes that went in this release:

   - selftests/powerpc: Fix standalone powerpc build

  Thanks to: Benjamin Herrenschmidt, Frederic Barrat, Oliver O'Halloran,
  Paul Mackerras"

      sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec · 425fffd8
      Liping Zhang authored 
      Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:

  # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

      sysfs: be careful of error returns from ops->show() · c8a139d0
      NeilBrown authored 
      ops->show() can return a negative error code.
Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.")
(in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors
would look like large numbers.
As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the
value of 'count', typically 4096.

Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs")
(in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for
memmove().
Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the
sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to
user-space.
If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove()
with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways.

This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md
sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the
brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from
the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is
scheduled on a workqueue - completes.
Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show()
After this, the ->show() won't be called.

I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like
	usleep_range(500000,700000);
early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an
md device md0 run
  echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state

The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

      Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag format · cf903e9d
      Johan Hovold authored 
      A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should
be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the
kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used
prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question
was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment).

Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion.
