mlx4 may schedule napi from a workqueue. Afterwards, softirqs are not run
in a deterministic time frame and the following message may be logged:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08
The problem is the same as what was described in commit ec13ee8014
("virtio_net: invoke softirqs after __napi_schedule") and this patch
applies the same fix to mlx4.

Dmitry reported that UDP sockets being destroyed would trigger the

It turns out we do not properly destroy skb(s) that have wrong UDP

The commit caused a regression on LINE6 Transport that has no control

error message for some device again, it's the simplest regression fix,
hence it's taken as is at first. The further code fix will follow

Splicing from TCP socket is vulnerable when a packet with URG flag is
received and stored into receive queue.
__tcp_splice_read() returns 0, and sk_wait_data() immediately
returns since there is the problematic skb in queue.
This is a nice way to burn cpu (aka infinite loop) and trigger
soft lockups.

"None of these are showstoppers for 4.10 and could wait for 4.11 merge
window, but they are low enough risk for this late in the cycle and
the fixes have waiting users . They have received a build success
notification from the 0day robot, pass the latest ndctl unit tests,
and appeared in next:
- Fix a crash that can result when SIGINT is sent to a process that
is awaiting completion of an address range scrub command. We were
not properly cleaning up the workqueue after
wait_event_interruptible().
- Fix a memory hotplug failure condition that results from not
reserving enough space out of persistent memory for the memmap. By
default we align to 2M allocations that the memory hotplug code
assumes, but if the administrator specifies a non-default
4K-alignment then we can fail to correctly size the reservation.
- A one line fix to improve the predictability of libnvdimm block
device names. A common operation is to reconfigure /dev/pmem0 into
a different mode. For example, a reconfiguration might set a new
mode that reserves some of the capacity for a struct page memmap
array. It surprises users if the device name changes to
"/dev/pmem0.1" after the mode change and then back to /dev/pmem0
after a reboot.
- Add 'const' to some function pointer tables"

This does not seem to happen any more with gcc-7, but removing the ACCESS_ONCE
seems safe anyway and it avoids a serious issue for some people. I have verified
that with gcc-5.3.1, the object code we get is better in the new version
both with and without CONFIG_KASAN, as we no longer allocate a 1344 byte
stack frame for hns_dsaf_get_regs() but otherwise have practically identical
object code.
With gcc-7.0.0, removing ACCESS_ONCE has no effect, the object code is already
good either way.
This patch is probably not urgent to get into 4.11 as only KASAN=y builds
with certain compilers are affected, but I still think it makes sense to
backport into older kernels.

When for instance a mobile Linux device roams from one access point to
another with both APs sharing the same broadcast domain and a
multicast snooping switch in between:
1) (c) <~~~> (AP1) <--[SSW]--> (AP2)
2) (AP1) <--[SSW]--> (AP2) <~~~> (c)
Then currently IPv6 multicast packets will get lost for (c) until an
MLD Querier sends its next query message. The packet loss occurs
because upon roaming the Linux host so far stayed silent regarding
MLD and the snooping switch will therefore be unaware of the
multicast topology change for a while.
This patch fixes this by always resending MLD reports when an interface
change happens, for instance from NO-CARRIER to CARRIER state.

snd_seq_pool_done() syncs with closing of all opened threads, but it
aborts the wait loop with a timeout, and proceeds to the release
resource even if not all threads have been closed. The timeout was 5
seconds, and if you run a crazy stuff, it can exceed easily, and may
result in the access of the invalid memory address -- this is what
syzkaller detected in a bug report.
As a fix, let the code graduate from naiveness, simply remove the loop
timeout.

missed setting the flag when replacing FILL_IN_MESH_PARAM_IF_SET

The skcipher could have been of the async variant which may return from
skcipher_encrypt() with -EINPROGRESS after having queued the request.
The FILS AEAD implementation here does not have code for dealing with
that possibility, so allocate a sync cipher explicitly to avoid
potential issues with hardware accelerators.
This is based on the patch sent out by Ard.

Incorrect num_elem parameter value (1 vs. 5) was used in the
aes_siv_encrypt() call. This resulted in only the first one of the five
AAD vectors to SIV getting included in calculation. This does not
protect all the contents correctly and would not interoperate with a
standard compliant implementation.
Fix this by using the correct number. A matching fix is needed in the AP
side (hostapd) to get FILS authentication working properly.

If GRE flags contains GRE_KEY, the following expression
*(((__be32 *)p) + (grehlen / 4) - 1)
accesses data ~40 bytes after the expected point, since
grehlen includes the size of IPv6 headers.

our SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because

So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

Commit:
a33d331761 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")
restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.
Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.
That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.
When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

The might_sleep_if() assertions in __pm_runtime_idle(),
__pm_runtime_suspend() and __pm_runtime_resume() may generate
false-positive warnings in some situations. For example, that
happens if a nested pm_runtime_get_sync()/pm_runtime_put() pair
is executed with disabled interrupts within an outer
pm_runtime_get_sync()/pm_runtime_put() section for the same device.
[Generally, pm_runtime_get_sync() may sleep, so it should not be
called with disabled interrupts, but in this particular case the
previous pm_runtime_get_sync() guarantees that the device will not
be suspended, so the inner pm_runtime_get_sync() will return
immediately after incrementing the device's usage counter.]

Revert "vring: Force use of DMA API for ARM-based systems with legacy devices"
Some Kabylake desktop processors may not reach max turbo when running in
HWP mode, even if running under sustained 100% utilization.
This occurs when the HWP.EPP (Energy Performance Preference) is set to
"balance_power" (0x80) -- the default on most systems.
It occurs because the platform BIOS may erroneously enable an
energy-efficiency setting -- MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT-EE, which is not
recommended to be enabled on this SKU.
On the failing systems, this BIOS issue was not discovered when the
desktop motherboard was tested with Windows, because the BIOS also
neglects to provide the ACPI/CPPC table, that Windows requires to enable
HWP, and so Windows runs in legacy P-state mode, where this setting has
no effect.
Linux' intel_pstate driver does not require ACPI/CPPC to enable HWP, and
so it runs in HWP mode, exposing this incorrect BIOS configuration.
There are several ways to address this problem.
First, Linux can also run in legacy P-state mode on this system.
As intel_pstate is how Linux enables HWP, booting with
"intel_pstate=disable"
will run in acpi-cpufreq/ondemand legacy p-state mode.
Or second, the "performance" governor can be used with intel_pstate,
which will modify HWP.EPP to 0.
Or third, starting in 4.10, the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/energy_performance_preference
attribute in can be updated from "balance_power" to "performance".
Or fourth, apply this patch, which fixes the erroneous setting of
MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL BIT_EE on this model, allowing the default
configuration to function as designed.
