commit b9a49520679e98700d3d89689cc91c08a1c88c1d upstream.

Kernel test robot reported an "imbalanced put" in the rcuref_put() slow
path, which turned out to be a false positive. Consider the following race:

            ref  = 0 (via rcuref_init(ref, 1))
 T1                                      T2
 rcuref_put(ref)
 -&gt; atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref)                                         # ref -&gt; 0xffffffff
 -&gt; rcuref_put_slowpath(ref)
                                         rcuref_get(ref)
                                         -&gt; atomic_add_negative_relaxed(1, &amp;ref-&gt;refcnt)
                                           -&gt; return true;                       # ref -&gt; 0

                                         rcuref_put(ref)
                                         -&gt; atomic_add_negative_release(-1, ref) # ref -&gt; 0xffffffff
                                         -&gt; rcuref_put_slowpath()

    -&gt; cnt = atomic_read(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt);                                          # cnt -&gt; 0xffffffff / RCUREF_NOREF
    -&gt; atomic_try_cmpxchg_release(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt, &amp;cnt, RCUREF_DEAD))              # ref -&gt; 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD
       -&gt; return true
                                           -&gt; cnt = atomic_read(&amp;ref-&gt;refcnt);   # cnt -&gt; 0xe0000000 / RCUREF_DEAD
                                           -&gt; if (cnt &gt; RCUREF_RELEASED)         # 0xe0000000 &gt; 0xc0000000
                                             -&gt; WARN_ONCE(cnt &gt;= RCUREF_RELEASED, "rcuref - imbalanced put()")

The problem is the additional read in the slow path (after it
decremented to RCUREF_NOREF) which can happen after the counter has been
marked RCUREF_DEAD.

Prevent this by reusing the return value of the decrement. Now every "final"
put uses RCUREF_NOREF in the slow path and attempts the final cmpxchg() to
RCUREF_DEAD.

commit f4b78260fc678ccd7169f32dc9f3bfa3b93931c7 upstream.

import_iovec() says that it should always be fine to kfree the iovec
returned in @iovp regardless of the error code.  __import_iovec_ubuf()
never reallocates it and thus should clear the pointer even in cases when
copy_iovec_*() fail.

commit 4f6a6bed0bfef4b966f076f33eb4f5547226056a upstream.

Patch series "simplify split calculation", v3.


This patch (of 3):

The current calculation for splitting nodes tries to enforce a minimum
span on the leaf nodes.  This code is complex and never worked correctly
to begin with, due to the min value being passed as 0 for all leaves.

The calculation should just split the data as equally as possible
between the new nodes.  Note that b_end will be one more than the data,
so the left side is still favoured in the calculation.

The current code may also lead to a deficient node by not leaving enough
data for the right side of the split. This issue is also addressed with
the split calculation change.

<title>lockdep: Fix upper limit for LOCKDEP_*_BITS configs</title>

[ Upstream commit e638072e61726cae363d48812815197a2a0e097f ]

Lockdep has a set of configs used to determine the size of the static
arrays that it uses. However, the upper limit that was initially setup
for these configs is too high (30 bit shift). This equates to several
GiB of static memory for individual symbols. Using such high values
leads to linker errors:

  $ make defconfig
  $ ./scripts/config -e PROVE_LOCKING --set-val LOCKDEP_BITS 30
  $ make olddefconfig all
  [...]
  ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
  ld: section .bss VMA wraps around address space

Adjust the upper limits to the maximum values that avoid these issues.
The need for anything more, likely points to a problem elsewhere. Note
that LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS was intentionally left out as its upper limit
had a different symptom and has already been fixed [1].

<title>seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 ]

Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf;

1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize:

	struct seq_buf s;
	char buf[32];

	seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf));

Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide
DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this:

	DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32);

2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid
   C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of
   seq_buf):

	seq_buf_terminate(s);
	do_something(s-&gt;buffer);

Instead, we can just return s-&gt;buffer directly after terminating it in
the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str():

	do_something(seq_buf_str(s));

[ Upstream commit dcc4e5728eeaeda84878ca0018758cff1abfca21 ]

Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf;

1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize:

	struct seq_buf s;
	char buf[32];

	seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf));

Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide
DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this:

	DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32);

2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid
   C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of
   seq_buf):

	seq_buf_terminate(s);
	do_something(s-&gt;buffer);

Instead, we can just return s-&gt;buffer directly after terminating it in
the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str():

	do_something(seq_buf_str(s));

[ Upstream commit d0ed46b60396cfa7e0056f55e1ce0b43c7db57b6 ]

To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member
from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq.  That puts the responsibility
of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code.  If some future
users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a
new struct then.

commit 5c3793604f91123bf49bc792ce697a0bef4c173c upstream.

The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by
design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the
variable from the optimizer.

../lib/stackinit_kunit.c: In function 'do_nothing_u16_zero':

<title>maple_tree: refine mas_store_root() on storing NULL</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 0ea120b278ad7f7cfeeb606e150ad04b192df60b upstream.

Currently, when storing NULL on mas_store_root(), the behavior could be
improved.

Storing NULLs over the entire tree may result in a node being used to
store a single range.  Further stores of NULL may cause the node and
tree to be corrupt and cause incorrect behaviour.  Fixing the store to
the root null fixes the issue by ensuring that a range of 0 - ULONG_MAX
results in an empty tree.

Users of the tree may experience incorrect values returned if the tree
was expanded to store values, then overwritten by all NULLS, then
continued to store NULLs over the empty area.

For example possible cases are:

  * store NULL at any range result a new node
  * store NULL at range [m, n] where m &gt; 0 to a single entry tree result
    a new node with range [m, n] set to NULL
  * store NULL at range [m, n] where m &gt; 0 to an empty tree result
    consecutive NULL slot
  * it allows for multiple NULL entries by expanding root
    to store NULLs to an empty tree

This patch tries to improve in:

  * memory efficient by setting to empty tree instead of using a node
  * remove the possibility of consecutive NULL slot which will prohibit
    extended null in later operation

commit a508ef4b1dcc82227edc594ffae583874dd425d7 upstream.

The output of ".%03u" with the unsigned int in range [0, 4294966295] may
get truncated if the target buffer is not 12 bytes. This can't really
happen here as the 'remainder' variable cannot exceed 999 but the
compiler doesn't know it. To make it happy just increase the buffer to
where the warning goes away.
