Subject: powerpc/pseries/cmm: call balloon_devinfo_init() also without CONFIG_BALLOON_COMPACTION
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 12:06:05 +0200
Patch series "powerpc/pseries/cmm: two smaller fixes".
Two smaller fixes identified while doing a bigger rework.
This patch (of 2):
We always have to initialize the balloon_dev_info, even when compaction is
not configured in: otherwise the containing list and the lock are left
uninitialized.
Likely not many such configs exist in practice, but let's CC stable to
be sure.
This was found by code inspection.

This reverts commit 3b5e5185881edf4ee5a1af575e3aedac4a38a764.
The REO queue lookup table feature was enabled in 6.12.y due to an
upstream backport, but it causes severe RX performance degradation on
QCN9274 hw2.0 devices.
With this feature enabled, the vast majority of received packets are
dropped, reducing throughput drastically and making the device nearly
unusable.
Reverting this change restores full RX performance.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.5-01651-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
Fixes: 3b5e5185881e ("wifi: ath12k: Enable REO queue lookup table feature on QCN9274 hw2.0")
Signed-off-by: Oliver Sedlbauer <os(a)dev.tdt.de>

Note:
This commit reverts a backport that was not a fix. The backported change
breaks previously working behavior on QCN9274 hw2.0 devices and should
not have been applied to the 6.12.y stable kernel.

`build_assert` relies on the compiler to optimize out its error path,
lest build fails with the dreaded error:
ERROR: modpost: "rust_build_error" [path/to/module.ko] undefined!
It has been observed that very trivial code performing I/O accesses
(sometimes even using an immediate value) would seemingly randomly fail
with this error whenever `CLIPPY=1` was set. The same behavior was also
observed until different, very similar conditions [1][2].
The cause, as pointed out by Gary Guo [3], appears to be that the
failing function is eventually using `build_assert` with its argument,
but is only annotated with `#[inline]`. This gives the compiler freedom
to not inline the function, which it notably did when Clippy was active,
triggering the error.
The fix is to annotate functions passing their argument to
`build_assert` with `#[inline(always)]`, telling the compiler to be as
aggressive as possible with their inlining. This is also the correct
behavior as inlining is mandatory for correct behavior in these cases.
This series fixes all possible points of failure in the kernel crate,
and adds documentation to `build_assert` explaining how to properly
inline functions for which this behavior may arise.

perf/x86/amd/uncore: Fix the return value of amd_uncore_df_event_init() on error
If amd_uncore_event_init() fails, return an error irrespective of the
pmu_version. Setting hwc->config should be safe even if there is an
error so use this opportunity to simplify the code.

The recent refactoring of where runtime PM is enabled done in commit
f1eb4e792bb1 ("spi: spi-cadence-quadspi: Enable pm runtime earlier to
avoid imbalance") made the fact that when we do a pm_runtime_disable()
in the error paths of probe() we can trigger a runtime disable which in
turn results in duplicate clock disables. Early on in the probe function
we do a pm_runtime_get_noresume() since the probe function leaves the
device in a powered up state but in the error path we can't assume that PM
is enabled so we also manually disable everything, including clocks. This
means that when runtime PM is active both it and the probe function release
the same reference to the main clock for the IP, triggering warnings from
the clock subsystem:
[ 8.693719] clk:75:7 already disabled
[ 8.693791] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 185 at /usr/src/kernel/drivers/clk/clk.c:1188 clk_core_disable+0xa0/0xb

[ 8.694283] cqspi_probe+0x7c8/0xc5c [spi_cadence_quadspi]
[ 8.694309] platform_probe+0x5c/0xa4
Avoid this confused ownership by moving the pm_runtime_get_noresume() to
after the last point at which the probe() function can fail.
