Commit a3e6c1eff548 ("MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on CPU IRQs") fixes an issue where disable_irq did not actually disable the irq. The bug caused our IPIs to not be disabled, which actually is the correct behavior. With the addition of commit a3e6c1eff548 ("MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on CPU IRQs"), the IPIs were getting disabled going into suspend, thus schedule_ipi() was not being called. This caused deadlocks where schedulable task were not being scheduled and other cpus were waiting for them to do something.

The following commit: commit aa4d86163e4e ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC") replaced __do_lo_send_write(), which used ITER_KVEC iterators, with lo_write_bvec() which uses ITER_BVEC iterators. In this change, though, the WRITE flag was lost: - iov_iter_kvec(&from, ITER_KVEC | WRITE, &kvec, 1, len); + iov_iter_bvec(&i, ITER_BVEC, bvec, 1, bvec->bv_len); This flag is necessary for the DAX case because we make decisions based on whether or not the iterator is a READ or a WRITE in dax_iomap_actor() and in dax_iomap_rw(). We end up going through this path in configurations where we combine a PMEM device with 4k sectors, a loopback device and DAX. The consequence of this missed flag is that what we intend as a write actually turns into a read in the DAX code, so no data is ever written. The very simplest test case is to create a loopback device and try and write a small string to it, then hexdump a few bytes of the device to see if the write took. Without this patch you read back all zeros, with this you read back the string you wrote. For XFS this causes us to fail or panic during the following xfstests: xfs/074 xfs/078 xfs/216 xfs/217 xfs/250 For ext4 we have a similar issue where writes never happen, but we don't currently have any xfstests that use loopback and show this issue. Fix this by restoring the WRITE flag argument to iov_iter_bvec(). This causes the xfstests to all pass.

Patch "KVM: s390: fix memory overwrites when not using SCA entries" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

Even if we don't have extended SCA support, we can have more than 64 CPUs if we don't enable any HW features that might use the SCA entries. Now, this works just fine, but we missed a return, which is why we would actually store the SCA entries. If we have more than 64 CPUs, this means writing outside of the basic SCA - bad. Let's fix this. This allows > 64 CPUs when running nested (under vSIE) without random crashes.

Patch "kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphens" has been added to the 4.9-stable tree

by gregkh＠linuxfoundation.org

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphens to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=sum… The filename of the patch is: kbuild-handle-builtin-dtb-file-names-containing-hyphens.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From 55fe6da9efba102866e2fb5b40b04b6a4b26c19e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan <jhogan(a)kernel.org> Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2018 11:02:46 +0000 Subject: kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphens From: James Hogan <jhogan(a)kernel.org> commit 55fe6da9efba102866e2fb5b40b04b6a4b26c19e upstream. cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file. Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the following: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file name to underscores when constructing the labels. As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y, or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a separate issue).
