The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only
restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. We have
a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but
it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in
32-bit mode.Since 16-bit support is somewhat crippled anyway on a 64-bit kernel
(no V86 mode), and most (if not quite all) 64-bit processors support
virtualization for the users who really need it, simply reject
attempts at creating a 16-bit segment when running on top of a 64-bit

New kexec-tools wants to pass kdump kernel needed memmap via E820
directly, instead of memmap=exactmap. This makes saved_max_pfn not

the same TCE table size, Muli suggest to hard code the size to max (8M).We can't get rid of saved_max_pfn this time, for backward compatibility
with old first kernel and new second kernel. However new first kernel
and old second kernel can not work unfortunately.v2->v1:

async_schedule() sd resume work to allow disks and other devices to
resume in parallel.This moves the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context to
ensure that scsi_device_resume() remains ordered with respect to the
completion of the start/stop command. For the duration of the resume,
new command submissions (that do not originate from the scsi-core) will
be deferred (BLKPREP_DEFER).It adds a new ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(scsi_sd_pm_domain) as a container
of these operations. Like scsi_sd_probe_domain it is flushed at
sd_remove() time to ensure async ops do not continue past the
end-of-life of the sdev. The implementation explicitly refrains from
reusing scsi_sd_probe_domain directly for this purpose as it is flushed
at the end of dpm_resume(), potentially defeating some of the benefit.
Given sdevs are quiesced it is permissible for these resume operations
to bleed past the async_synchronize_full() calls made by the driver
core.We defer the resolution of which pm callback to call until
scsi_dev_type_{suspend|resume} time and guarantee that the callback
parameter is never NULL. With this in place the type of resume
operation is encoded in the async function identifier.There is a concern that async resume could trigger PSU overload. In the
enterprise, storage enclosures enforce staggered spin-up regardless of
what the kernel does making async scanning safe by default. Outside of
that context a user can disable asynchronous scanning via a kernel
command line or CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC. Honor that setting when
deciding whether to do resume asynchronously.Inspired by Todd's analysis and initial proposal [2]:

For commands returned with failed status, queue these for resubmission
and continue retrying them until success or for a limited amount of
time. The final timeout was arbitrarily chosen so requests can't be
retried indefinitely.Since these are requeued on the nvmeq that submitted the command, the
callbacks have to take an nvmeq instead of an nvme_dev as a parameter
so that we can use the locked queue to append the iod to retry later.The nvme_iod conviently can be used to track how long we've been trying
to successfully complete an iod request. The nvme_iod also provides the
nvme prp dma mappings, so I had to move a few things around so we can

Registers with hot cpu notification to rebalance, and potentially allocate

Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox -
The device's IO queues are associated with CPUs, so we can use a per-cpu
variable to map the a qid to a cpu. This provides a convienient way
to optimally assign queues to multiple cpus when the device supports
fewer queues than the host has cpus. The previous implementation may
have assigned these poorly in these situations. This patch addresses
this by sharing queues among cpus that are "close" together and should
have a lower lock contention penalty.Signed-off-by: Keith Busch

We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to
efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the
file we wish to read/close.While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by
pure luck. Olivier explains,"The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for
'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with
a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our
case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and
reading a file."Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one
of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.Reported-by: Olivier Martin
