While debugging a WARN_ON() for filtering, I found that it is possible
for the filter string to be referenced after its end. With the filter:
# echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
The filter_parse() function can call infix_get_op() which calls
infix_advance() that updates the infix filter pointers for the cnt
and tail without checking if the filter is already at the end, which
will put the cnt to zero and the tail beyond the end. The loop then calls
infix_next() that has
ps->infix.cnt--;
return ps->infix.string[ps->infix.tail++];
The cnt will now be below zero, and the tail that is returned is
already passed the end of the filter string. So far the allocation
of the filter string usually has some buffer that is zeroed out, but
if the filter string is of the exact size of the allocated buffer
there's no guarantee that the charater after the nul terminating
character will be zero.
Luckily, only root can write to the filter.

When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with
a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case
that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong).
# echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path
where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless,
and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out
a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via
the proper channels.

irrelevant in blk-mq case because each driver sets its own max depth

writing to nr_requests.

The default queue_limits::max_segments value (BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS = 128)
unnecessarily limits bio sizes to 512k (assuming 4k pages). rbd, being
a virtual block device, doesn't have any restrictions on the number of
physical segments, so bump max_segments to max_hw_sectors, in theory
allowing a sector per segment (although the only case this matters that
I can think of is some readv/writev style thing). In practice this is
going to give us 1M bios - the number of segments in a bio is limited
in bio_get_nr_vecs() by BIO_MAX_PAGES = 256.
Note that this doesn't result in any improvement on a typical direct
sequential test. This is because on a box with a not too badly
fragmented memory the default BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS is enough to see nice
rbd object size sized requests. The only difference is the size of
bios being merged - 512k vs 1M for something like

Due to FW constraints, driver must make sure that transmitted SKBs will
not be too fragmented, or in the case that they are - that each 'window'
of fragments passed to the FW would contain at least an mss worth of data.
For encapsultaed packets the calculation is wrong, since it ignores the
inner headers in the calculation of the headers' length.
This could lead to a FW assertion in case of a too-fragmented encapsulated
packet.

Since driver statistics flow access MACs and those might reset during
link re-configurations, when we're about to change link properties we
have to make sure that statistics are not operational.
Statisics would be re-enabled [i.e., gathering of statistics would
re-commence] once physical link is achieved again.
Since driver employs a link-flap avoidance scheme, there are scenarios
where driver will receive no indication that the new link is up, and
as a result the statistics would not be re-enabled.
Preventing LFA from working in such cases would guarantee that we'll
always receive such indications and thus will fix statistics gathering.

The scratchpad is a shared block between all functions of a given device.
Due to HW limitations, we can't properly close its parity notifications
to all functions on legal flows.
E.g., it's possible that while taking a register dump from one function
a parity error would be triggered on other functions.
Today driver doesn't consider this parity as a 'real' parity unless its
being accompanied by additional indications [which would happen in a real
parity scenario]; But it does print notifications for such events in the
system logs.
This eliminates such prints - in case of real parities driver would have
additional indications; But if this is the only signal user will not even
see a parity being logged in the system.

This fixes several issues relating to asymmetric configuration:
1. When user requests to disable TX, the local-device needs to
advertise both PAUSE and ASM_DIR, but to avoid transmitting pause
frames. In the 578xx, it would ignore the TX disable.
2. When user advertises RX-only, ASM_DIR was advertised instead of
PAUSE/ASM_DIR.
3. When changing mode, the advertised PAUSE/ASM_DIR was not cleared
before setting new one, so disabling RX or TX had no impact on the
'advertised' as appeared in the 'ethtool -a' output.

sparc64: perf fixes for userspace stacks
Coming back to the perf userspace callchain problem. As a reminder there are
a series of problems trying to use perf to collect callchains with scheduling
tracepoints, e.g., perf sched record -g -- <cmd>.
The first patch disables pagefaults while walking the user stack. As discussed
a couple of months ago this is the right fix, but I was puzzled as to why
processes were terminating with sigbus (and sometimes sigsegv). I believe the
root of this problem is bad addresses trying to walk the frames using frame
pointers. The bad addresses lead to faults that get handled by do_sparc64_fault
and it aborts the task though I am still puzzled as to why it gets past this
check in do_sparc64_fault:
if (in_atomic() || !mm)
goto intr_or_no_mm;
pagefault_disable bumps the preempt_count which should make in_atomic return != 0
(building kernels with preemption set to voluntar, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y).
While this set does not fully solve the problem it does prevent a number of
pain points with the current code, most notably able to lock up the system.
