 "I wasn't going to send off a new pull before next week, but the blk
  flush fix from Jan from the other day introduced a regression.  It's
  rare enough not to have hit during testing, since it requires both a
  device that rejects the first flush, and bad timing while it does
  that.  But since someone did hit it, let's get the revert into 4.4-rc3
  so we don't have a released rc with that known issue.

  Apart from that revert, three other fixes:

   - From Christoph, a fix for a missing unmap in NVMe request
     preparation.

   - An NVMe fix from Nishanth that fixes data corruption on powerpc.

   - Also from Christoph, fix a list_del() attempt on blk-mq that didn't
     have a matching list_add() at timer start"

Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate
elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And
this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in
struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not
easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure
whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert
1b2ff19e. Thanks!

I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing
gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I
guess during boot it makes some sense.

--

So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the
fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it
requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

      KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation · b2467e74
      Haozhong Zhang authored 
      This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
incorrect because:
 (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
     Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
     vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
     invalidation.
 (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
     invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
     get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
     dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
     hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

      NVMe: default to 4k device page size · c5c9f25b
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored 
      We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).

The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).

In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.

With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

      pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns() · 81b1a832
      Eric Dumazet authored 
      I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
__task_pid_nr_ns() :

pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :

    if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH

Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
top" crashing hosts :(

get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.

 "A round of fixes/updates for the current series.

  This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we
  pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so
  it could be updated a bit.  The rest of the volume is also mostly
  lightnvm.  In particular:

   - Lightnvm.  Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and
     Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao.

   - NVMe:
        - Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith.
        - Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from
          a completion queue before deleting it.  Fixes kernel crashes
          when resetting a device with IO pending.
        - Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias.

   - Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a
     flush is not required.  Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be
     idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling.  From
     Jan Kara.

   - Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code.  From
     Gelian Tang.

   - Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq
     devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption
     disabled.  From me.

   - A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook.

   - Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable.  A third part is adding a
     new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw
     up the accounting.

   - Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes"

      arm64: kvm: report original PAR_EL1 upon panic · fbb4574c
      Mark Rutland authored 
      If we call __kvm_hyp_panic while a guest context is active, we call
__restore_sysregs before acquiring the system register values for the
panic, in the process throwing away the PAR_EL1 value at the point of
the panic.

This patch modifies __kvm_hyp_panic to stash the PAR_EL1 value prior to
restoring host register values, enabling us to report the original
values at the point of the panic.

      KVM: arm/arm64: arch_timer: Preserve physical dist. active state on LR.active · 0e3dfda9
      Christoffer Dall authored 
      We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
deasserted.  We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.

This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
shouldn't happen.
