Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: compaction_test: support platform with huge
mount of memory
When running mm selftest to verify mm patches, 'compaction_test' case
failed on an x86 server with 1TB memory. And the root cause is that it
has too much free memory than what the test supports.
The test case tries to allocate 100000 huge pages, which is about 200 GB
for that x86 server, and when it succeeds, it expects it's large than 1/3
of 80% of the free memory in system. This logic only works for platform
with 750 GB ( 200 / (1/3) / 80% ) or less free memory, and may raise false
alarm for others.
Fix it by changing the fixed page number to self-adjustable number
according to the real number of free memory.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: fix uninitialized output field for -EAGAIN
race
While discussing some userfaultfd relevant issues recently, Andrea noticed
a potential ABI breakage with -EAGAIN on almost all userfaultfd ioctl()s.
Quote from Andrea, explaining how -EAGAIN was processed, and how this
should fix it (taking example of UFFDIO_COPY ioctl):
The "mmap_changing" and "stale pmd" conditions are already reported as
-EAGAIN written in the copy field, this does not change it. This change
removes the subnormal case that left copy.copy uninitialized and required
apps to explicitly set the copy field to get deterministic
behavior (which is a requirement contrary to the documentation in both
the manpage and source code). In turn there's no alteration to backwards
compatibility as result of this change because userland will find the
copy field consistently set to -EAGAIN, and not anymore sometime -EAGAIN
and sometime uninitialized.
Even then the change only can make a difference to non cooperative users
of userfaultfd, so when UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_* is enabled, which is not
true for the vast majority of apps using userfaultfd or this unintended
uninitialized field may have been noticed sooner.
Meanwhile, since this bug existed for years, it also almost affects all
ioctl()s that was introduced later. Besides UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE, these also
get affected in the same way:
- UFFDIO_CONTINUE
- UFFDIO_POISON
- UFFDIO_MOVE
This patch should have fixed all of them.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: fix uninitialized output field for -EAGAIN
race
While discussing some userfaultfd relevant issues recently, Andrea noticed
a potential ABI breakage with -EAGAIN on almost all userfaultfd ioctl()s.
Quote from Andrea, explaining how -EAGAIN was processed, and how this
should fix it (taking example of UFFDIO_COPY ioctl):
The "mmap_changing" and "stale pmd" conditions are already reported as
-EAGAIN written in the copy field, this does not change it. This change
removes the subnormal case that left copy.copy uninitialized and required
apps to explicitly set the copy field to get deterministic
behavior (which is a requirement contrary to the documentation in both
the manpage and source code). In turn there's no alteration to backwards
compatibility as result of this change because userland will find the
copy field consistently set to -EAGAIN, and not anymore sometime -EAGAIN
and sometime uninitialized.
Even then the change only can make a difference to non cooperative users
of userfaultfd, so when UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_* is enabled, which is not
true for the vast majority of apps using userfaultfd or this unintended
uninitialized field may have been noticed sooner.
Meanwhile, since this bug existed for years, it also almost affects all
ioctl()s that was introduced later. Besides UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE, these also
get affected in the same way:
- UFFDIO_CONTINUE
- UFFDIO_POISON

Subject: [PATCH] staging: axis-fifo: Correct handling of tx_fifo_depth for
size validation
Remove erroneous subtraction of 4 from the total FIFO depth read from
device tree. The stored depth is for checking against total capacity,
not initial vacancy. This prevented writes near the FIFO's full size.
The check performed just before data transfer, which uses live reads of
the TDFV register to determine current vacancy, correctly handles the
initial Depth - 4 hardware state and subsequent FIFO fullness.

Subject: [PATCH] staging: axis-fifo: Remove hardware resets for user errors
The axis-fifo driver performs a full hardware reset (via
reset_ip_core()) in several error paths within the read and write
functions. This reset flushes both TX and RX FIFOs and resets the
AXI-Stream links.
Allow the user to handle the error without causing hardware disruption
or data loss in other FIFO paths.

Subject: [PATCH] uio_hv_generic: Fix sysfs creation path for ring buffer
On regular bootup, devices get registered to VMBus first, so when
uio_hv_generic driver for a particular device type is probed,
the device is already initialized and added, so sysfs creation in
hv_uio_probe() works fine. However, when the device is removed
and brought back, the channel gets rescinded and the device again gets
registered to VMBus. However this time, the uio_hv_generic driver is
already registered to probe for that device and in this case sysfs
creation is tried before the device's kobject gets initialized
completely.
Fix this by moving the core logic of sysfs creation of ring buffer,
from uio_hv_generic to HyperV's VMBus driver, where the rest of the
sysfs attributes for the channels are defined. While doing that, make
use of attribute groups and macros, instead of creating sysfs
directly, to ensure better error handling and code flow.
Problematic path:
vmbus_process_offer (A new offer comes for the VMBus device)
vmbus_add_channel_work
vmbus_device_register
|-> device_register
| |...
| |-> hv_uio_probe
| |...
| |-> sysfs_create_bin_file (leads to a warning as
| the primary channel's kobject, which is used to
| create the sysfs file, is not yet initialized)
|-> kset_create_and_add
|-> vmbus_add_channel_kobj (initialization of the primary
channel's kobject happens later)
Above code flow is sequential and the warning is always reproducible in
this path.

+ * @hv_mmap_ring_buffer: function pointer for initializing the function to be called on mmap of
+ * channel's "ring" sysfs node, which is for the ring buffer of that channel.
+ * Function pointer is of below type:
+ * int (*hv_mmap_ring_buffer)(struct vmbus_channel *channel,
+ * struct vm_area_struct *vma))
+ * This has a pointer to the channel and a pointer to vm_area_struct,
+ * used for mmap, as arguments.
+ *
+ * Sysfs node for ring buffer of a channel is created along with other fields, however its
+ * visibility is disabled by default. Sysfs creation needs to be controlled when the use-case
+ * is running.
+ * For example, HV_NIC device is used either by uio_hv_generic or hv_netvsc at any given point of
+ * time, and "ring" sysfs is needed only when uio_hv_generic is bound to that device. To avoid
+ * exposing the ring buffer by default, this function is reponsible to enable visibility of
+ * ring for userspace to use.
+ * Note: Race conditions can happen with userspace and it is not encouraged to create new
+ * use-cases for this. This was added to maintain backward compatibility, while solving
+ * one of the race conditions in uio_hv_generic while creating sysfs.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 on success or error code on failure.
