commit d2f8114f9574509580a8506d2ef72e7e43d1a5bd upstream.

Some devices have a bug causing them to not work if they query
LE tx power on startup. Thus we add a quirk in order to not query it
and default min/max tx power values to HCI_TX_POWER_INVALID.

When finding the socket to report an error on, if the invoking packet
is using Segment Routing, the IPv6 destination address is that of an
intermediate router, not the end destination. Extract the ultimate
destination address from the segment address.

This change allows traceroute to function in the presence of Segment
Routing.

RFC8754 says:

ICMP error packets generated within the SR domain are sent to source
nodes within the SR domain.  The invoking packet in the ICMP error
message may contain an SRH.  Since the destination address of a packet
with an SRH changes as each segment is processed, it may not be the
destination used by the socket or application that generated the
invoking packet.

For the source of an invoking packet to process the ICMP error
message, the ultimate destination address of the IPv6 header may be
required.  The following logic is used to determine the destination
address for use by protocol-error handlers.

*  Walk all extension headers of the invoking IPv6 packet to the
   routing extension header preceding the upper-layer header.

   -  If routing header is type 4 Segment Routing Header (SRH)

      o  The SID at Segment List[0] may be used as the destination
         address of the invoking packet.

Mangle the skb so the network header points to the invoking packet
inside the ICMP packet. The seg6 helpers can then be used on the skb
to find any segment routing headers. If found, mark this fact in the
IPv6 control block of the skb, and store the offset into the packet of
the SRH. Then restore the skb back to its old state.

An ICMP error message can contain in its message body part of an IPv6
packet which invoked the error. Such a packet might contain a segment
router header. Export get_srh() so the ICMP code can make use of it.

Since his changes the scope of the function from local to global, add
the seg6_ prefix to keep the namespace clean. And move it into seg6.c
so it is always available, not just when IPV6_SEG6_LWTUNNEL is
enabled.

<title>mm: vmscan: Reduce throttling due to a failure to make progress</title>

<id>1b4e3f26f9f7553b260b8aed43967500961448a6</id>
<content type='text'>
Mike Galbraith, Alexey Avramov and Darrick Wong all reported similar
problems due to reclaim throttling for excessive lengths of time.  In
Alexey's case, a memory hog that should go OOM quickly stalls for
several minutes before stalling.  In Mike and Darrick's cases, a small
memcg environment stalled excessively even though the system had enough
memory overall.

Commit 69392a403f49 ("mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is
being made") introduced the problem although commit a19594ca4a8b
("mm/vmscan: increase the timeout if page reclaim is not making
progress") made it worse.  Systems at or near an OOM state that cannot
be recovered must reach OOM quickly and memcg should kill tasks if a
memcg is near OOM.

To address this, only stall for the first zone in the zonelist, reduce
the timeout to 1 tick for VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS and only stall if
the scan control nr_reclaimed is 0, kswapd is still active and there
were excessive pages pending for writeback.  If kswapd has stopped
reclaiming due to excessive failures, do not stall at all so that OOM
triggers relatively quickly.  Similarly, if an LRU is simply congested,
only lightly throttle similar to NOPROGRESS.

Alexey's original case was the most straight forward

	for i in {1..3}; do tail /dev/zero; done

On vanilla 5.16-rc1, this test stalled heavily, after the patch the test
completes in a few seconds similar to 5.15.

Alexey's second test case added watching a youtube video while tail runs
10 times.  On 5.15, playback only jitters slightly, 5.16-rc1 stalls a
lot with lots of frames missing and numerous audio glitches.  With this
patch applies, the video plays similarly to 5.15.

Mike Galbraith, Alexey Avramov and Darrick Wong all reported similar
problems due to reclaim throttling for excessive lengths of time.  In
Alexey's case, a memory hog that should go OOM quickly stalls for
several minutes before stalling.  In Mike and Darrick's cases, a small
memcg environment stalled excessively even though the system had enough
memory overall.

Commit 69392a403f49 ("mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim when no progress is
being made") introduced the problem although commit a19594ca4a8b
("mm/vmscan: increase the timeout if page reclaim is not making
progress") made it worse.  Systems at or near an OOM state that cannot
be recovered must reach OOM quickly and memcg should kill tasks if a
memcg is near OOM.

To address this, only stall for the first zone in the zonelist, reduce
the timeout to 1 tick for VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS and only stall if
the scan control nr_reclaimed is 0, kswapd is still active and there
were excessive pages pending for writeback.  If kswapd has stopped
reclaiming due to excessive failures, do not stall at all so that OOM
triggers relatively quickly.  Similarly, if an LRU is simply congested,
only lightly throttle similar to NOPROGRESS.

Alexey's original case was the most straight forward

	for i in {1..3}; do tail /dev/zero; done

On vanilla 5.16-rc1, this test stalled heavily, after the patch the test
completes in a few seconds similar to 5.15.

Alexey's second test case added watching a youtube video while tail runs
10 times.  On 5.15, playback only jitters slightly, 5.16-rc1 stalls a
lot with lots of frames missing and numerous audio glitches.  With this
patch applies, the video plays similarly to 5.15.

<title>fbdev: fbmem: add a helper to determine if an aperture is used by a fw fb</title>

Add a function for drivers to check if the a firmware initialized
fb is corresponds to their aperture.  This allows drivers to check if the
device corresponds to what the firmware set up as the display device.
