  • Userspace can begin and suspend a transaction within the signal
    handler which means they might enter sys_rt_sigreturn() with the
    processor in suspended state.

    sys_rt_sigreturn() wants to restore process context (which may have
    been in a transaction before signal delivery). To do this it must
    restore TM SPRS. To achieve this, any transaction initiated within the
    signal frame must be discarded in order to be able to restore TM SPRs
    as TM SPRs can only be manipulated non-transactionally..

    It isn't clear exactly if there is really a use case for userspace
    returning with a suspended transaction, however, doing so doesn't (on
    its own) constitute a bad frame. As such, this patch simply discards
    the transactional state of the context calling the sigreturn and
    continues.

  • Instead of passing negative flags like PCI_IRQ_NOMSI to prevent use of
    certain interrupt types, pass positive flags like PCI_IRQ_LEGACY,
    PCI_IRQ_MSI, etc., to specify the acceptable interrupt types.

    This is based on a number of pending driver conversions that just happend
    to be a whole more obvious to read this way, and given that we have no
    users in the tree yet it can still easily be done.

    I've also added a PCI_IRQ_ALL_TYPES catchall to keep the case of accepting
    all interrupt types very simple.

  • Some uio based PCI drivers, e.g., uio_cif, do not work if the assigned PCI
    memory resources are not page aligned. By using the kernel option
    "pci=resource_alignment=@:." it is possible to
    request page alignment for memory resources of devices.

    However, this is cumbersome when using several devices, and the
    bus/slot/func addresses may change if devices are added to or removed from
    the system.

    Extend the "pci=resource_alignment" option so we can specify the relevant
    devices via PCI vendor, device, subvendor, and subdevice IDs. The
    specification of the devices via IDs is indicated by a leading string
    "pci:" as argument to "pci=resource_alignment".

    The format of the specification is
    pci::[::]

    Examples:
    pci=resource_alignment=4096@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f
    pci=resource_alignment=pci:8086:9c22 # defaults to PAGE_SIZE align

  • Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
    portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
    old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
    going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
    rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
    at compile time instead of at runtime.

    No intended functional changes in this commit.

  • Inside the kafs filesystem it is possible to occasionally have a call
    processed and terminated before we've had a chance to check whether we need
    to clean up the rx queue for that call because afs_send_simple_reply() ends
    the call when it is done, but this is done in a workqueue item that might
    happen to run to completion before afs_deliver_to_call() completes.

    Further, it is possible for rxrpc_kernel_send_data() to be called to send a
    reply before the last request-phase data skb is released. The rxrpc skb
    destructor is where the ACK processing is done and the call state is
    advanced upon release of the last skb. ACK generation is also deferred to
    a work item because it's possible that the skb destructor is not called in
    a context where kernel_sendmsg() can be invoked.

    To this end, the following changes are made:

    (1) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is added. This should be called whenever
    an skb is emptied so as to crank the ACK and call states. This does
    not release the skb, however. kernel_rxrpc_free_skb() must now be
    called to achieve that. These together replace
    rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered().

    (2) kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() is wrapped by afs_data_consumed().

    This makes afs_deliver_to_call() easier to work as the skb can simply
    be discarded unconditionally here without trying to work out what the
    return value of the ->deliver() function means.

    The ->deliver() functions can, via afs_data_complete(),
    afs_transfer_reply() and afs_extract_data() mark that an skb has been
    consumed (thereby cranking the state) without the need to
    conditionally free the skb to make sure the state is correct on an
    incoming call for when the call processor tries to send the reply.

    (3) rxrpc_recvmsg() now has to call kernel_rxrpc_data_consumed() when it
    has finished with a packet and MSG_PEEK isn't set.

    (4) rxrpc_packet_destructor() no longer calls rxrpc_hard_ACK_data().

    Because of this, we no longer need to clear the destructor and put the
    call before we free the skb in cases where we don't want the ACK/call
    state to be cranked.

    (5) The ->deliver() call-type callbacks are made to return -EAGAIN rather
    than 0 if they expect more data (afs_extract_data() returns -EAGAIN to
    the delivery function already), and the caller is now responsible for
    producing an abort if that was the last packet.

    (6) There are many bits of unmarshalling code where:

    ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
    switch (ret) {
    case 0: break;
    case -EAGAIN: return 0;
    default: return ret;
    }

    is to be found. As -EAGAIN can now be passed back to the caller, we
    now just return if ret < 0:

    ret = afs_extract_data(call, skb, last, ...);
    if (ret < 0)
    return ret;

    (7) Checks for trailing data and empty final data packets has been
    consolidated as afs_data_complete(). So:

    if (skb->len > 0)
    return -EBADMSG;
    if (!last)
    return 0;

    becomes:

    ret = afs_data_complete(call, skb, last);
    if (ret < 0)
    return ret;

    (8) afs_transfer_reply() now checks the amount of data it has against the
    amount of data desired and the amount of data in the skb and returns
    an error to induce an abort if we don't get exactly what we want.

    Without these changes, the following oops can occasionally be observed,
    particularly if some printks are inserted into the delivery path:
