While calculating the scheduler tick max deferment, the delta is
converted from microseconds to nanoseconds through a multiplication
against NSEC_PER_USEC.
But this microseconds operand is an unsigned int, thus the result may
likely overflow. The result is cast to u64 but only once the operation
is completed, which is too late to avoid overflown result.
This is currently not a problem because the scheduler tick max deferment
is 1 second. But this may become an issue as we plan to make this
value tunable.
So lets fix this by casting the usecs value to u64 before multiplying by
NSECS_PER_USEC.
Also to prevent from this kind of mistake to happen again, move this
ad-hoc jiffies -> nsecs conversion to a new helper.

When doing a function/slot/bus reset PCI grabs the device_lock for each
device to block things like suspend and driver probes, but call paths exist
where this lock may already be held. This creates an opportunity for
deadlock. For instance, vfio allows userspace to issue resets so long as
it owns the device(s). If a driver unbind .remove callback races with
userspace issuing a reset, we have a deadlock as userspace gets stuck
waiting on device_lock while another thread has device_lock and waits for
.remove to complete. To resolve this, we can make a version of the reset
interfaces which use trylock. With this, we can safely attempt a reset and
return error to userspace if there is contention.
[bhelgaas: the deadlock happens when A (userspace) has a file descriptor for
the device, and B waits in this path:
driver_detach
device_lock # take device_lock
__device_release_driver
pci_device_remove # pci_bus_type.remove
vfio_pci_remove # pci_driver .remove
vfio_del_group_dev
wait_event(vfio.release_q, !vfio_dev_present) # wait (holding device_lock)
Now B is stuck until A gives up the file descriptor. If A tries to acquire
device_lock for any reason, we deadlock because A is waiting for B to release
the lock, and B is waiting for A to release the file descriptor.]

This patch add the support for Ethernet L2 attributes in the
verbs/cm/cma structures.
When dealing with L2 Ethernet, we should use smac, dmac, vlan ID and priority
in a similar manner that the IB L2 (and the L4 PKEY) attributes are used.
Thus, those attributes were added to the following structures:
* ib_ah_attr - added dmac
* ib_qp_attr - added smac and vlan_id, (sl remains vlan priority)
* ib_wc - added smac, vlan_id
* ib_sa_path_rec - added smac, dmac, vlan_id
* cm_av - added smac and vlan_id
For the path record structure, extra care was taken to avoid the new
fields when packing it into wire format, so we don't break the IB CM
and SA wire protocol.
On the active side, the CM fills. its internal structures from the
path provided by the ULP. We add there taking the ETH L2 attributes
and placing them into the CM Address Handle (struct cm_av).
On the passive side, the CM fills its internal structures from the WC
associated with the REQ message. We add there taking the ETH L2
attributes from the WC.
When the HW driver provides the required ETH L2 attributes in the WC,
they set the IB_WC_WITH_SMAC and IB_WC_WITH_VLAN flags. The IB core
code checks for the presence of these flags, and in their absence does
address resolution from the ib_init_ah_from_wc() helper function.
ib_modify_qp_is_ok is also updated to consider the link layer. Some
parameters are mandatory for Ethernet link layer, while they are
irrelevant for IB. Vendor drivers are modified to support the new
function signature.

This patch adds a new field to the dma_slave_caps struct which indicates the
granularity with which the driver is able to update the residue field of the
dma_tx_state struct. Making this information available to dmaengine users allows
them to make better decisions on how to operate. E.g. for audio certain features
like wakeup less operation or timer based scheduling only make sense and work
correctly if the reported residue is fine-grained enough.
Right now four different levels of granularity are supported:
* DESCRIPTOR: The DMA channel is only able to tell whether a descriptor has
been completed or not, which means residue reporting is not supported by
this channel. The residue field of the dma_tx_state field will always be
0.
* SEGMENT: The DMA channel updates the residue field after each successfully
completed segment of the transfer (For cyclic transfers this is after each
period). This is typically implemented by having the hardware generate an
interrupt after each transferred segment and then the drivers updates the
outstanding residue by the size of the segment. Another possibility is if
the hardware supports SG and the segment descriptor has a field which gets
set after the segment has been completed. The driver then counts the
number of segments without the flag set to compute the residue.
* BURST: The DMA channel updates the residue field after each transferred
burst. This is typically only supported if the hardware has a progress
register of some sort (E.g. a register with the current read/write address
or a register with the amount of bursts/beats/bytes that have been
transferred or still need to be transferred).

The body of i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter() is currently guarded by
I2C_MUX. It should be CONFIG_I2C_MUX instead.
Among potentially other problems, this resulted in i2c_lock_adapter()
only locking I2C mux child adapters, and not the parent adapter. In
turn, this could allow inter-mingling of mux child selection and I2C
transactions, which could result in I2C transactions being directed to
the wrong I2C bus, and possibly even switching between busses in the
middle of a transaction.
One concrete issue caused by this bug was corrupted HDMI EDID reads
during boot on the NVIDIA Tegra Seaboard system, although this only
became apparent in recent linux-next, when the boot timing was changed
just enough to trigger the race condition.

Micron provides READ RETRY support via the ONFI vendor-specific
parameter block (to indicate how many read-retry modes are available)
and the ONFI {GET,SET}_FEATURES commands with a vendor-specific feature
address (to support reading/switching the current read-retry mode).
The recommended sequence is as follows:
1. Perform PAGE_READ operation
2. If no ECC error, we are done
3. Run SET_FEATURES with feature address 89h, mode 1
4. Retry PAGE_READ operation
5. If ECC error and there are remaining supported modes, increment the
mode and return to step 3. Otherwise, this is a true ECC error.
6. Run SET_FEATURES with feature address 89h, mode 0, to return to the
default state.
This patch implements the chip->setup_read_retry() callback for
Micron and fills in the chip->read_retries.
Tested on Micron MT29F32G08CBADA, which supports 8 read-retry modes.
The Micron vendor-specific table was checked against the datasheets for
the following Micron NAND:

Modern MLC (and even SLC?) NAND can experience a large number of
bitflips (beyond the recommended correctability capacity) due to drifts
in the voltage threshold (Vt). These bitflips can cause ECC errors to
occur well within the expected lifetime of the flash. To account for
this, some manufacturers provide a mechanism for shifting the Vt
threshold after a corrupted read.
The generic pattern seems to be that a particular flash has N read retry
modes (where N = 0, traditionally), and after an ECC failure, the host
should reconfigure the flash to use the next available mode, then retry
the read operation. This process repeats until all bitfips can be
corrected or until the host has tried all available retry modes.
This patch adds the infrastructure support for a
vendor-specific/flash-specific callback, used for setting the read-retry
mode (i.e., voltage threshold).
For now, this patch always returns the flash to mode 0 (the default
mode) after a successful read-retry, according to the flowchart found in
Micron's datasheets. This may need to change in the future if it is
determined that eventually, mode 0 is insufficient for the majority of
the flash cells (and so for performance reasons, we should leave the
flash in mode 1, 2, etc.).

Since commit d70ed2e4fa
MD: Allow restarting an interrupted incremental recovery.
we don't write out the metadata to devices while they are recovering.
This had a good reason, but has unfortunate consequences. This patch
changes things to make them work better.
At issue is what happens if the array is shut down while a recovery is
happening, particularly a bitmap-guided recovery.
Ideally the recovery should pick up where it left off.
However the metadata cannot represent the state "A recovery is in
process which is guided by the bitmap".
Before the above mentioned commit, we wrote metadata to the device
which said "this is being recovered and it is up to <here>". So after
a restart, a full recovery (not bitmap-guided) would happen from
where-ever it was up to.
After the commit the metadata wasn't updated so it still said "This
device is fully in sync with <this> event count". That leads to a
bitmap-based recovery following the whole bitmap, which should be a
lot less work than a full recovery from some starting point. So this
was an improvement.
However updates some metadata but not all leads to other problems.
In particular, the metadata written to the fully-up-to-date device
record that the array has all devices present (even though some are
recovering). So on restart, mdadm wants to find all devices and
expects them to have current event counts.
Obviously it doesn't (some have old event counts) so (when assembling
with --incremental) it waits indefinitely for the rest of the expected
devices.
It really is wrong to not update all the metadata together. Do that
is bound to cause confusion.
Instead, we should make it possible to record the truth in the
metadata. i.e. we need to be able to record that a device is being
recovered based on the bitmap.
We already have a Feature flag to say that recovery is happening. We
now add another one to say that it is a bitmap-based recovery.
With this we can remove the code that disables the write-out of
metadata on some devices.
So this patch:
- moves the setting of 'saved_raid_disk' from add_new_disk to
the validate_super methods. This makes sure it is always set
properly, both when adding a new device to an array, and when
assembling an array from a collection of devices.
- Adds a metadata flag MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_BITMAP which is only
used if MD_FEATURE_RECOVERY_OFFSET is set, and record that a
bitmap-based recovery is allowed.
This is only present in v1.x metadata. v0.90 doesn't support
devices which are in the middle of recovery at all.
- Only skips writing metadata to Faulty devices.
- Also allows rdev state to be set to "-insync" via sysfs.
This can be used for external-metadata arrays. When the
'role' is set the device is assumed to be in-sync. If, after
setting the role, we set the state to "-insync", the role is
moved to saved_raid_disk which effectively says the device is
