      ARM: 8617/1: dma: fix dma_max_pfn() · eec74693
      Roger Quadros authored 
      [ Upstream commit d248220f ]

Since commit 6ce0d200 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.

This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].

What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.

NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

      mm,ksm: fix endless looping in allocating memory when ksm enable · 58024f82
      zhong jiang authored 
      [ Upstream commit 5b398e41 ]

I hit the following hung task when runing a OOM LTP test case with 4.1
kernel.

Call trace:

[<ffffffc00008a35c>] do_notify_resume+0x70/0x78

The oom victim cannot terminate because it needs to take mmap_sem for
write while the lock is held by ksmd for read which loops in the page
allocator

ksm_do_scan
	scan_get_next_rmap_item
		down_read
		get_next_rmap_item
			alloc_rmap_item   #ksmd will loop permanently.

There is no way forward because the oom victim cannot release any memory
in 4.1 based kernel.  Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve
this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously.
Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use
__GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan
would just retry later after the lock got dropped.

Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which
do not have oom_reaper.

While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed
by the allocation failure.

      can: dev: fix deadlock reported after bus-off · d427d645
      Sergei Miroshnichenko authored 
      [ Upstream commit 9abefcb1 ]

A timer was used to restart after the bus-off state, leading to a
relatively large can_restart() executed in an interrupt context,
which in turn sets up pinctrl. When this happens during system boot,
there is a high probability of grabbing the pinctrl_list_mutex,
which is locked already by the probe() of other device, making the
kernel suspect a deadlock condition [1].

To resolve this issue, the restart_timer is replaced by a delayed
work.

      cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and cpuset_hotplug_work · 791a9289
      Joonwoo Park authored 
      [ Upstream commit 28b89b9e ]

A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations.  For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.

However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.

For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:

  ========================  ===========================
   cpu_online_mask           top_cpuset.effective_cpus
  ========================  ===========================
   echo 1 > cpu2/online.
   CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
      [0,2]                     [0]

   echo 0 > cpu0/online.
   The workqueue is still runnable.
      [2]                       [0]
  ========================  ===========================

  Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
  top_cpuset.effective_cpus.  Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
  this moment can cause following:

   Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   Kernel BUG at ffffffc0001389b0 [verbose debug info unavailable]

   [<ffffffc000085cb0>] el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28

The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to
cpu_online_mask eventually.  Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when
there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and
cpu_online_mask.

      mtd: nand: davinci: Reinitialize the HW ECC engine in 4bit hwctl · 6b82b060
      Karl Beldan authored 
      [ Upstream commit f6d7c1b5 ]

This fixes subpage writes when using 4-bit HW ECC.

There has been numerous reports about ECC errors with devices using this
driver for a while.  Also the 4-bit ECC has been reported as broken with
subpages in [1] and with 16 bits NANDs in the driver and in mach* board
files both in mainline and in the vendor BSPs.

What I saw with 4-bit ECC on a 16bits NAND (on an LCDK) which got me to
try reinitializing the ECC engine:
- R/W on whole pages properly generates/checks RS code
- try writing the 1st subpage only of a blank page, the subpage is well
  written and the RS code properly generated, re-reading the same page
  the HW detects some ECC error, reading the same page again no ECC
  error is detected

Note that the ECC engine is already reinitialized in the 1-bit case.

Tested on my LCDK with UBI+UBIFS using subpages.
This could potentially get rid of the issue workarounded in [1].

      drm/msm: fix use of copy_from_user() while holding spinlock · e537a097
      Rob Clark authored 
      [ Upstream commit 89f82cbb ]

Use instead __copy_from_user_inatomic() and fallback to slow-path where
we drop and re-aquire the lock in case of fault.

      bus: arm-ccn: Fix PMU handling of MN · b56eb9cd
      Pawel Moll authored 
      [ Upstream commit 4e486cba ]

The "Miscellaneous Node" fell through cracks of node initialisation,
as its ID is shared with HN-I.

This patch treats MN as a special case (which it is), adding separate
validation check for it and pre-defining the node ID in relevant events
descriptions. That way one can simply run:

	# perf stat -a -e ccn/mn_ecbarrier/ <workload>

Additionally, direction in the MN pseudo-events XP watchpoint
definitions is corrected to be "TX" (1) as they are defined from the
crosspoint point of view (thus barriers are transmitted from XP to MN).

      bus: arm-ccn: Provide required event arguments · 7298a8bf

      [ Upstream commit 8f06c51f ]

Since 688d4dfc "perf tools: Support
parsing parameterized events" the perf userspace tools understands
"argument=?" syntax in the events file, making sure that required
arguments are provided by the user and not defaulting to 0, causing
confusion.

This patch adds the required arguments lists for CCN events.
