Pull final block fixes from Jens Axboe: "This week and last we've been fixing some corner cases related to blk-mq, mostly. I ended up pulling most of that out of for-linus yesterday, which is why the branch looks fresh. The rest were postponed for 3.18. This pull request contains: - Fix from Christoph, avoiding a stack overflow when FUA insertion would recursive infinitely. - Fix from David Hildenbrand on races between the timeout handler and uninitialized requests. Fixes a real issue that virtio_blk has run into. - A few fixes from me: - Ensure that request deadline/timeout is ordered before the request is marked as started. - A potential oops on out-of-memory, when we scale the queue depth of the device and retry. - A hang fix on requeue from SCSI, where the hardware queue would be stopped when we attempt to re-run it (and hence nothing would happen, stalling progress). - A fix for commit 2da78092, where the cleanup path was moved to RCU, but a debug might_sleep() was inadvertently left in the code. This causes warnings for people" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: genhd: fix leftover might_sleep() in blk_free_devt() blk-mq: use blk_mq_start_hw_queues() when running requeue work blk-mq: fix potential oops on out-of-memory in __blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() blk-mq: avoid infinite recursion with the FUA flag blk-mq: Avoid race condition with uninitialized requests blk-mq: request deadline must be visible before marking rq as started

In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has never been supported in the 64-bit parisc compiler. Indirect calls have always been done using function descriptors irrespective of the -mfast-indirect-calls option. Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always requested when the -mfast-indirect-calls option was specified. This caused problems when the option was used in application code and doesn't make any sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a function descriptor for indirect calls. Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds. I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results in the same kernel code as before.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) If the user gives us a msg_namelen of 0, don't try to interpret anything pointed to by msg_name. From Ani Sinha. 2) Fix some bnx2i/bnx2fc randconfig compilation errors. The gist of the issue is that we firstly have drivers that span both SCSI and networking. And at the top of that chain of dependencies we have things like SCSI_FC_ATTRS and SCSI_NETLINK which are selected. But since select is a sledgehammer and ignores dependencies, everything to select's SCSI_FC_ATTRS and/or SCSI_NETLINK has to also explicitly select their dependencies and so on and so forth. Generally speaking 'select' is supposed to only be used for child nodes, those which have no dependencies of their own. And this whole chain of dependencies in the scsi layer violates that rather strongly. So just make SCSI_NETLINK depend upon it's dependencies, and so on and so forth for the things selecting it (either directly or indirectly). From Anish Bhatt and Randy Dunlap. 3) Fix generation of blackhole routes in IPSEC, from Steffen Klassert. 4) Actually notice netdev feature changes in rtl_open() code, from Hayes Wang. 5) Fix divide by zero in bond enslaving, from Nikolay Aleksandrov. 6) Missing memory barrier in sunvnet driver, from David Stevens. 7) Don't leave anycast addresses around when ipv6 interface is destroyed, from Sabrina Dubroca. 8) Don't call efx_{arch}_filter_sync_rx_mode before addr_list_lock is initialized in SFC driver, from Edward Cree. 9) Fix missing DMA error checking in 3c59x, from Neal Horman. 10) Openvswitch doesn't emit OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW notifications accidently, fix from Samuel Gauthier. 11) pch_gbe needs to select NET_PTP_CLASSIFY otherwise we can get a build error. 12) Fix macvlan regression wherein we stopped emitting broadcast/multicast frames over software devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 13) Fix infiniband bug due to unintended overflow of skb->cb[], from Eric Dumazet. And add an assertion so this doesn't happen again. 14) dm9000_parse_dt() should return error pointers, not NULL. From Tobias Klauser. 15) IP tunneling code uses this_cpu_ptr() in preemptible contexts, fix from Eric Dumazet. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (87 commits) net: bcmgenet: call bcmgenet_dma_teardown in bcmgenet_fini_dma net: bcmgenet: fix TX reclaim accounting for fragments ipv4: do not use this_cpu_ptr() in preemptible context dm9000: Return an ERR_PTR() in all error conditions of dm9000_parse_dt() r8169: fix an if condition r8152: disable ALDPS ipoib: validate struct ipoib_cb size net: sched: shrink struct qdisc_skb_cb to 28 bytes tg3: Work around HW/FW limitations with vlan encapsulated frames macvlan: allow to enqueue broadcast pkt on virtual device pch_gbe: 'select' NET_PTP_CLASSIFY. scsi: Use 'depends' with LIBFC instead of 'select'. openvswitch: restore OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW notifications genetlink: add function genl_has_listeners() lib: rhashtable: remove second linux/log2.h inclusion net: allow macvlans to move to net namespace 3c59x: Fix bad offset spec in skb_frag_dma_map 3c59x: Add dma error checking and recovery sparc: bpf_jit: fix support for ldx/stx mem and SKF_AD_VLAN_TAG can: at91_can: add missing prepare and unprepare of the clock ...

We should not be manipulaging the DMA_CTRL registers directly by writing 0 to them to disable DMA. This is an operation that needs to be timed to make sure the DMA engines have been properly stopped since their state machine stops on a packet boundary, not immediately. Make sure that tha bcmgenet_fini_dma() calls bcmgenet_dma_teardown() to ensure a proper DMA engine state. As a result, we need to reorder the function bodies to resolve the use dependency.

Florian Fainelli authored
The GENET driver supports SKB fragments, and succeeds in transmitting them properly, but when reclaiming these transmitted fragments, we will only update the count of free buffer descriptors by 1, even for SKBs with fragments. This leads to the networking stack thinking it has more room than the hardware has when pushing new SKBs, and backing off consequently because we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY. Fix this by accounting for the SKB nr_frags plus one (itself) and update ring->free_bds accordingly with that value for each iteration loop in __bcmgenet_tx_reclaim().

We were using an atomic bitop on the vgic_v2.vgic_elrsr field which was not aligned to the natural size on 64-bit platforms. This bug showed up after QEMU correctly identifies the pl011 line as being level-triggered, and not edge-triggered.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== pull request (net): ipsec 2014-09-22 We generate a blackhole or queueing route if a packet matches an IPsec policy but a state can't be resolved. Here we assume that dst_output() is called to kill these packets. Unfortunately this assumption is not true in all cases, so it is possible that these packets leave the system without the necessary transformations.

If the hw is in ALDPS mode, the hw may have no response for accessing the most registers. Therefore, the ALDPS should be disabled before accessing the hw in rtl_ops.init(), rtl_ops.disable(), rtl_ops.up(), and rtl_ops.down(). Regardless of rtl_ops.enable(), because the hw wouldn't enter ALDPS mode when linking on. The hw would enter the ALDPS mode after several seconds when link down occurs and the ALDPS is enabled.

Since commit 412ca155 ("macvlan: Move broadcasts into a work queue"), the driver uses tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit of packets enqueuing. Problem is that virtual drivers have this value set to 0, thus all broadcast packets were rejected. Because tx_queue_len was arbitrarily chosen, I replace it with a static limit of 1000 (also arbitrarily chosen).

This patch should fix the bug reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249. We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when allocating storage for the requests. Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized pointers when racing with the creation of a request. Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point where a request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush request indicators that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers in blk_mq_timeout_check().

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "create_singlethread_workqueue() is the old interface which is kept around for backward compatibility - each should be reviewed to determine whether singlethread usage was to save worker threads or for ordering guarantee and whether it's depended upon by memory reclaim path. While adding NUMA support for unbound workqueues during v3.10, I forgot to update it breaking the singlethread and ordering properties on NUMA setups. The breakage was unfortunately rather subtle and went without being reported until now. The only missing piece is __WQ_ORDERED flag which makes the unbounded workqueue use a single backend queue across different NUMA nodes. It's fixed by making create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap alloc_ordered_workqueue() so that possible future updates are inherited automatically" * 'for-3.17-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: apply __WQ_ORDERED to create_singlethread_workqueue()

On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus fail on 4TB+ disks. Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(), sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg like this: __find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648 b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512 device sda1 blocksize: 512 Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top). This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on 32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number. But the top bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit before the shift. This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before doing the left shift. Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a 4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes. This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5 kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop". Without this patch doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop 100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.
