The VF link state setting transition from "disable" to "auto" does not work
due to a bug in SET_LOGICAL_LINK_CONFIG_V1 cmd in FW. This issue could not
be fixed in FW due to some backward compatibility issues it causes with
some released drivers. The issue has been fixed by introducing a new
version (v2) of the cmd from 10.6 FW onwards. In v2, to set the VF link
state to auto, both PLINK_ENABLE and PLINK_TRACK bits have to be set to 1.
The VF link state setting feature now works on Lancer chips too from
FW ver 10.6.315.0 onwards.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Make the block layer great again.
Basically three amazing fixes in this pull request, split into 4
patches. Believe me, they should go into 4.4. Two of them fix a
regression, the third and last fixes an easy-to-trigger bug.
- Fix a bad irq enable through null_blk, for queue_mode=1 and using
timer completions. Add a block helper to restart a queue
asynchronously, and use that from null_blk. From me.
- Fix a performance issue in NVMe. Some devices (Intel Pxxxx) expose
a stripe boundary, and performance suffers if we cross it. We took
that into account for merging, but not for the newer splitting
code. Fix from Keith.
- Fix a kernel oops in lightnvm with multiple channels. From Matias"

In commit 38506ecefa (rtlwifi: rtl_pci: Start modification for new
drivers), a bug was introduced that causes a NULL pointer dereference.
As this bug only affects the infrequently used RTL8192EE and only under
low-memory conditions, it has taken a long time for the bug to show up.
The bug was reported on the linux-wireless mailing list and also at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/ as
bug #1527603 (kernel crashes due to rtl8192ee driver on ubuntu 15.10).

The total delay of HDMI hotplug detecting with 30ms is sometimes not

After doing experiments for following monitors, it needs 80ms at least
for those worst cases.
Lenovo L246 1xwA (4 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 58/40/60/40ms)
Philips HH2AP (9 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 80/50/50/60/46/40/58/58/39ms)
BENQ ET-0035-N (6 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 60/50/50/80/80/40ms)
DELL U2713HM (2 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 58/59ms)
HP HP-LP2475w (5 failed, necessary hot-plug delay: 70/50/40/60/40ms)
It looks like 70-80 ms is BSW platform needs in some bad cases of the
monitors at this end (8 times delay at most). Keep less than 100ms for
HDCP pulse HPD low (with at least 100ms) to respond a plug out.

[Jani: undo the file mode change of the original commit]
Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
When I had rewritten the code for ixgbe_clear_vf_vlans() it looks like I
had transitioned back and forth between using word as an offset and using
word as a register offset. As a result I honestly don't see how the code
was working before other than the fact that resetting the VLANs on the VF
like didn't do much to clear them.
Another issue found is that the mask was using a divide instead of a
modulus. As a result the mask bit was incorrectly being set to either bit
0 or 1 based on the value of the VF being tested. As a result the wrong
VFs were having their VLANs cleared if they were enabled.
I have updated the code so that word represents the offset in the array.
This way we can use the modulus and xor operations and they will make sense
instead of being performed on a 4 byte aligned value.
I replaced the statement "(word % 2) ^ 1" with "~word % 2" in order to
reduce the line length as the line exceeded 80 characters with the register
name inserted. The two should be equivalent so the change should be safe.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
[PATCH] arm: fix handling of F_OFD_... in oabi_fcntl64()
mod_zone_page_state() takes a "delta" integer argument. delta contains
the number of pages that should be added or subtracted from a struct
zone's vm_stat field.
If a zone is larger than 8TB this will cause overflows. E.g. for a
zone with a size slightly larger than 8TB the line
mod_zone_page_state(zone, NR_ALLOC_BATCH, zone->managed_pages);
in mm/page_alloc.c:free_area_init_core() will result in a negative
result for the NR_ALLOC_BATCH entry within the zone's vm_stat, since 8TB
contain 0x8xxxxxxx pages which will be sign extended to a negative
value.
Fix this by changing the delta argument to long type.
This could fix an early boot problem seen on s390, where we have a 9TB
system with only one node. ZONE_DMA contains 2GB and ZONE_NORMAL the
rest. The system is trying to allocate a GFP_DMA page but ZONE_DMA is
completely empty, so it tries to reclaim pages in an endless loop.
This was seen on a heavily patched 3.10 kernel. One possible
explaination seem to be the overflows caused by mod_zone_page_state().
Unfortunately I did not have the chance to verify that this patch
actually fixes the problem, since I don't have access to the system
right now. However the overflow problem does exist anyway.
Given the description that a system with slightly less than 8TB does
work, this seems to be a candidate for the observed problem.

test_pages_in_a_zone() does not account for the possibility of missing
sections in the given pfn range. pfn_valid_within always returns 1 when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not set, allowing invalid pfns from missing
sections to pass the test, leading to a kernel oops.
Wrap an additional pfn loop with PAGES_PER_SECTION granularity to check
for missing sections before proceeding into the zone-check code.
This also prevents a crash from offlining memory devices with missing
sections. Despite this, it may be a good idea to keep the related patch
'[PATCH 3/3] drivers: memory: prohibit offlining of memory blocks with
missing sections' because missing sections in a memory block may lead to
other problems not covered by the scope of this fix.

Memory cgroup reclaim can be interrupted with mem_cgroup_iter_break()
once enough pages have been reclaimed, in which case, in contrast to a
full round-trip over a cgroup sub-tree, the current position stored in
mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter of the target cgroup does not get invalidated
and so is left holding the reference to the last scanned cgroup. If the
target cgroup does not get scanned again (we might have just reclaimed
the last page or all processes might exit and free their memory
voluntary), we will leak it, because there is nobody to put the
reference held by the iterator.
The problem is easy to reproduce by running the following command
sequence in a loop:
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
echo 100M > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/memory.limit_in_bytes
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/cgroup.procs
memhog 150M
echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/cgroup.procs
rmdir test
The cgroups generated by it will never get freed.
This patch fixes this issue by making mem_cgroup_iter avoid taking
reference to the current position. In order not to hit use-after-free
bug while running reclaim in parallel with cgroup deletion, we make use
of ->css_released cgroup callback to clear references to the dying
cgroup in all reclaim iterators that might refer to it. This callback
is called right before scheduling rcu work which will free css, so if we
access iter->position from rcu read section, we might be sure it won't
go away under us.
