commit 156baec39732f025dc778e00da95fc10d6e45885 upstream.

Use of init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() from modules results in
the following build-time error with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y:

	ERROR: "init_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!
	ERROR: "destroy_rcu_head" [drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko] undefined!

This commit therefore adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for each to allow them to
be used by GPL-licensed kernel modules.

<title>scsi: cxlflash: Reset command ioasc</title>

commit 96cf727fe8f102bf92150b741db71ee39fb8c521 upstream.

In the event of a command failure, cxlflash returns the failure to the upper
layers to process. After processing the error, when the command is queued
again, the private command structure will not be zeroed and the ioasc could be
stale. Per the SISLite specification, the AFU only sets the ioasc in the
presence of a failure. Thus, even though the original command succeeds the
second time, the command is considered a failure due to stale ioasc. This
cycle repeats indefinitely and can cause a hang or IO failure.

To fix the issue, clear the ioasc before queuing any command.

<title>scsi: lpfc: Fix crash after bad bar setup on driver attachment</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e4b9794efdce13242f4af6682f3ed48ce3864a87 upstream.

In test cases where an instance of the driver is detached and
reattached, the driver will crash on reattachment. There is a compound
if statement that will skip over the bar setup if the pci_resource_start
call is not successful. The driver erroneously returns success to its
bar setup in this scenario even though the bars aren't properly
configured.

Rework the offending code segment for proper initialization steps.  If
the pci_resource_start call fails, -ENOMEM is now returned.

commit 3bd6f43f5cb3714f70c591514f344389df593501 upstream.

If scsi_eh_scmd_add() is called concurrently with
scsi_host_queue_ready() while shost-&gt;host_blocked &gt; 0 then it can
happen that neither function wakes up the SCSI error handler. Fix
this by making every function that decreases the host_busy counter
wake up the error handler if necessary and by protecting the
host_failed checks with the SCSI host lock.

<title>ftrace: Remove incorrect setting of glob search field</title>

commit 7b6586562708d2b3a04fe49f217ddbadbbbb0546 upstream.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (-&gt;len is ignored for that
    one).

commit 6ac1dc736b323011a55ecd1fc5897c24c4f77cbd upstream.

Setting si_code to 0 is the same a setting si_code to SI_USER which is definitely
not correct.  With si_code set to SI_USER si_pid and si_uid will be copied to
userspace instead of si_addr.  Which is very wrong.

So fix this by using a sensible si_code (SEGV_MAPERR) for this failure.

commit 31747eda41ef3c30c09c5c096b380bf54013746a upstream.

fsnotify pins a watched directory inode in cache, but if directory dentry
is released, new lookup will allocate a new dentry and a new inode.
Directory events will be notified on the new inode, while fsnotify listener
is watching the old pinned inode.

Hash all directory inodes to reuse the pinned inode on lookup. Pure upper
dirs are hashes by real upper inode, merge and lower dirs are hashed by
real lower inode.

The reference to lower inode was being held by the lower dentry object
in the overlay dentry (oe-&gt;lowerstack[0]). Releasing the overlay dentry
may drop lower inode refcount to zero. Add a refcount on behalf of the
overlay inode to prevent that.

As a by-product, hashing directory inodes also detects multiple
redirected dirs to the same lower dir and uncovered redirected dir
target on and returns -ESTALE on lookup.

The reported issue dates back to initial version of overlayfs, but this
patch depends on ovl_inode code that was introduced in kernel v4.13.

commit a5a927a7c82e28ea76599dee4019c41e372c911f upstream.

The optimization in ovl_cache_get_impure() that tries to remove an
unneeded "impure" xattr needs to take mnt_want_write() on upper fs.
