The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection, it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f "mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390". To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit is removed. With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to provide page age information. For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages. Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults. To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache. Signed-off-by:

Right now the page table upgrade does not happen if the end address of a fixed mapping is greater than TASK_SIZE. Enhance s390_mmap_check() to handle MAP_FIXED mappings correctly. Signed-off-by:

The iucv base layer is initialized during the registration of the first iucv handler. If no handler is registered and the iucv_reboot_event() notifier is called, a missing check can cause a kernel panic in iucv_block_cpu(). To solve this issue, check the IRQ masks invoke iucv_block_cpu() for enabled CPUs only. Signed-off-by:

When the DASD devices are detached from the driver, then the dasd_generic_remove function is called. One of the things this function should do is to remove the DASD specific sysfs attributes, but this is not done in all cases. This is likely to cause an oops when at a later point sysfs stumbles over the stale pointers. In particular this happens when when the modules are unloaded and loaded again. Signed-off-by:

Loading the pci hotplug module when no devices are present will fail but unfortunately some hotplug callbacks stay registered to the pci bus level. Fix this by not letting module loading fail when no pci devices are present and provide proper {de}registration functions for these callbacks.

Use the __get_free_pages wrapper in clp_alloc_block. Also change the allocation to use one page only. This page is used as CLP response block e.g. to list available pci functions. Using one page we can list > 250 pci functions at once and we have code to loop around this CLP command (if not all functions fit into to the CLP block) already in place. Acked-by:

When an attempt to query or modify the grouping state of a channel path fails due to a timeout, we cannot be sure about its state. To get back to a defined state, disband the whole path group and try again while excluding the offending path. Reviewed-by:

Omit known to be broken paths (those set in path_noirq_mask) for the sense/set PGID and nop IO commands. Note: path_noirq_mask will be reset in ccw_device_verify_start (the paths could be healthy again). However if we restart a path verification via verify_start this mask will not be reset (there is no need to let the wait for an interrupt time out again - plus we do not want to loop once we deal with the paths in unknown path group state). Reviewed-by:

Do not abort path verification when waiting for an interrupt timed out. Use path_noirq_mask to keep track of the paths used for this (also maintain a path_notoper_mask for debugging purposes). If the timeout happend to be during an operation where we query or alter the state of path groups set the pgid_unknown flag. With this change we allow usage of devices which have such ill-behaved paths (if at least one path is operational). Reviewed-by:

Under LPAR the zfcpdump HSA is a shared resource. Up to now the HSA memory is released when the zcore file is closed. Dump programs that know that they do not need the HSA memory any more (e.g. because they already dumped it) could release it earlier. This would allow other LPARs to use it again. To achieve this a new debugfs file "hsa" is added that can be used to read the HSA size and to release the HSA by writing "0" into the file. Signed-off-by:

When a zfcpdump is triggered and a second dump on the same CEC is already in progress for another LPAR, diagnose 308 returns with an error code until the first dump is finished. Currently the second Linux stops with a disabled wait PSW in that case. This is improved now by by triggering diag 308 in a loop until it works. Signed-off-by:

Given enough debug options some modules can grow large enough that the GOT table gets bigger than 4K. On s390 the modules are compiled with -fpic which limits the GOT to 4K. The end result is a module that is loaded but won't work. Add a sanity check to apply_rela and return with an error if a relocation error is detected for a module. Signed-off-by: -

Convert the synchronous size sense code to an interrupt driven approach. This allows to set the device online even if the terminal is not connected. With the new code views can be registered without a connected terminal, the tty can be opened as soon as the device is online. After the terminal has been connected and the size has been determined the tty is resized to match the device characteristics.. Signed-off-by: -

E.g. readl is defined like this #define readl(addr) __le32_to_cpu(__raw_readl(addr)) If a there is a readl() call that doesn't check the return value this will cause a compile warning on big endian machines due to the __le32_to_cpu macro magic. E.g. code like this: readl(addr); will generate the following compile warning: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] With this patch we get rid of dozens of compile warnings on s390.

From Kees Cook. 4) SCTP's ipv6 socket route validation makes boolean tests incorrectly, fix from Daniel Borkmann. 5) mac80211 does sizeof(ptr) instead of (sizeof(ptr) * nelem), from Cong Ding. 6) arp_rcv() can crash on shared non-linear packets, from Eric Dumazet. 7) Avoid crashes in macvtap by setting ->gso_type consistently in ixgbe, qlcnic, and bnx2x drivers.

From Stephen Hemminger. 10) The HTB packet scheduler was converted some time ago to store internal timestamps in nanoseconds, but we don't convert back into psched ticks for the user during dumps. Fix from Jiri Pirko. 11) mwl8k channel table doesn't set the .band field properly, resulting in NULL pointer derefs. Fix from Jonas Gorski. 12) mac80211 doesn't accumulate channels properly during a scan so we can downgrade heavily to a much less desirable connection speed.
