commit 9c47127a807da3e36ce80f7c83a1134a291fc021 upstream.
Raid checks if pad3 is zero when loading superblock from disk. Arrays
created with new features may fail to assemble on old kernels as pad3
is used.
Add module parameter check_new_feature to bypass this check.

2.39.2
This series fixes a refcount/locking imbalance in NFC LLCP receive handlers
when the socket is already in LLCP_CLOSED.
nfc_llcp_recv_disc() used to perform release_sock()/nfc_llcp_sock_put() in the CLOSED
branch but did not exit, and then performed the same cleanup again on the common
exit path. Drop the redundant CLOSED-branch cleanup so the common exit path runs
it exactly once, while keeping the existing DM_DISC reply behavior.
nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc() performed the CLOSED cleanup but then continued processing
and later cleaned up again on the common exit path. Return immediately after the
CLOSED cleanup.
Changes in v2:
- Drop Reported-by tags
- Add missing Fixes tags
Build-tested with: make M=net/nfc (no NFC HW available for runtime testing).
Qianchang Zhao (2):
nfc: llcp: avoid double release/put on LLCP_CLOSED in
nfc_llcp_recv_disc()
nfc: llcp: stop processing on LLCP_CLOSED in nfc_llcp_recv_hdlc()

2.34.1
Add two flags for KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to allow userspace to control support
for Suppress EOI Broadcasts, which KVM completely mishandles. When x2APIC
support was first added, KVM incorrectly advertised and "enabled" Suppress
EOI Broadcast, without fully supporting the I/O APIC side of the equation,
i.e. without adding directed EOI to KVM's in-kernel I/O APIC.
That flaw was carried over to split IRQCHIP support, i.e. KVM advertised
support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts irrespective of whether or not the
userspace I/O APIC implementation supported directed EOIs. Even worse,
KVM didn't actually suppress EOI broadcasts, i.e. userspace VMMs without
support for directed EOI came to rely on the "spurious" broadcasts.
KVM "fixed" the in-kernel I/O APIC implementation by completely disabling
support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts in commit 0bcc3fb95b97 ("KVM: lapic:
stop advertising DIRECTED_EOI when in-kernel IOAPIC is in use"), but
didn't do anything to remedy userspace I/O APIC implementations.
KVM's bogus handling of Suppress EOI Broadcast is problematic when the
guest relies on interrupts being masked in the I/O APIC until well after
the initial local APIC EOI. E.g. Windows with Credential Guard enabled
handles interrupts in the following order:
1. Interrupt for L2 arrives.
2. L1 APIC EOIs the interrupt.
3. L1 resumes L2 and injects the interrupt.
4. L2 EOIs after servicing.
5. L1 performs the I/O APIC EOI.
Because KVM EOIs the I/O APIC at step #2, the guest can get an interrupt
storm, e.g. if the IRQ line is still asserted and userspace reacts to the
EOI by re-injecting the IRQ, because the guest doesn't de-assert the line
until step #4, and doesn't expect the interrupt to be re-enabled until
step #5.
Unfortunately, simply "fixing" the bug isn't an option, as KVM has no way
of knowing if the userspace I/O APIC supports directed EOIs, i.e.
suppressing EOI broadcasts would result in interrupts being stuck masked
in the userspace I/O APIC due to step #5 being ignored by userspace. And
fully disabling support for Suppress EOI Broadcast is also undesirable, as
picking up the fix would require a guest reboot, *and* more importantly
would change the virtual CPU model exposed to the guest without any buy-in
from userspace.
Add KVM_X2APIC_ENABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST and
KVM_X2APIC_DISABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST flags to allow userspace to
explicitly enable or disable support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts while
using split IRQCHIP mode. This gives userspace control over the virtual
CPU model exposed to the guest, as KVM should never have enabled support
for Suppress EOI Broadcast without a userspace opt-in. Not setting
either flag will result in legacy quirky behavior for backward
compatibility.
Note, Suppress EOI Broadcasts is defined only in Intel's SDM, not in AMD's
APM. But the bit is writable on some AMD CPUs, e.g. Turin, and KVM's ABI
is to support Directed EOI (KVM's name) irrespective of guest CPU vendor.

v4:
- Add KVM_X2APIC_ENABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST and
KVM_X2APIC_DISABLE_SUPPRESS_EOI_BROADCAST flags to allow userspace to
explicitly enable or disable support for Suppress EOI Broadcasts while
using split IRQCHIP mode.
After the inclusion of David Woodhouse's patch to support IOAPIC version 0x20,
we can tweak the uAPI to support kernel IRQCHIP mode as well.
Testing:
- Setting both the flags fails with EINVAL.
- Setting flags in kernel IRQCHIP mode fails with EINVAL.
- Setting flags in split IRQCHIP mode succeeds and both the flags work
as expected.
