Since Xen-4.2, hvm domains may have portions of their memory paged out. When a
foreign domain (such as dom0) attempts to map these frames, the map will
initially fail. The hypervisor returns a suitable errno, and kicks an
asynchronous page-in operation carried out by a helper. The foreign domain is
expected to retry the mapping operation until it eventually succeeds. The
foreign domain is not put to sleep because itself could be the one running the
pager assist (typical scenario for dom0).
This patch adds support for this mechanism for backend drivers using grant
mapping and copying operations. Specifically, this covers the blkback and
gntdev drivers (which map foreign grants), and the netback driver (which copies
foreign grants).
* Add a retry method for grants that fail with GNTST_eagain (i.e. because the
target foreign frame is paged out).
* Insert hooks with appropriate wrappers in the aforementioned drivers.
The retry loop is only invoked if the grant operation status is GNTST_eagain.
It guarantees to leave a new status code different from GNTST_eagain. Any other
status code results in identical code execution as before.
The retry loop performs 256 attempts with increasing time intervals through a
32 second period. It uses msleep to yield while waiting for the next retry.
V2 after feedback from David Vrabel:
* Explicit MAX_DELAY instead of wrap-around delay into zero
* Abstract GNTST_eagain check into core grant table code for netback module.
V3 after feedback from Ian Campbell:
* Add placeholder in array of grant table error descriptions for unrelated
error code we jump over.
* Eliminate single map and retry macro in favor of a generic batch flavor.
* Some renaming.
* Bury most implementation in grant_table.c, cleaner interface.
V4 rebased on top of sync of Xen grant table interface headers.

Particularly for hiding sets of SR-IOV devices, specifying them all
individually is rather cumbersome. Therefore, allow function and slot
numbers to be replaced by a wildcard character ('*').
Unfortunately this gets complicated by the in-kernel sscanf()
implementation not being really standard conformant - matching of
plain text tails cannot be checked by the caller (a patch to overcome
this will be sent shortly, and a follow-up patch for simplifying the
code is planned to be sent when that fixed went upstream).

bind_evtchn_to_irqhandler can legitimately return 0 (irq 0): it is not
an error.
If Linux is running as an HVM domain and is running as Dom0, use
xenstored_local_init to initialize the xenstore page and event channel.
Changes in v4:
- do not xs_reset_watches on dom0.
Changes in v2:
- refactor xenbus_init.

Pull DMA-mapping fixes from Marek Szyprowski:
"Another set of fixes for ARM dma-mapping subsystem.
Commit e9da6e9905 replaced custom consistent buffer remapping code
with generic vmalloc areas. It however introduced some regressions
caused by limited support for allocations in atomic context. This
series contains fixes for those regressions.
For some subplatforms the default, pre-allocated pool for atomic
allocations turned out to be too small, so a function for setting its
size has been added.
Another set of patches adds support for atomic allocations to
IOMMU-aware DMA-mapping implementation.
The last part of this pull request contains two fixes for Contiguous
Memory Allocator, which relax too strict requirements."

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.
The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.
This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.
On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.
This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

This turned out to be due to memory corruption caused by long-broken
PIO code in drivers/mmc/host/omap.c. (Previously, this driver had
been using DMA; but the above commit caused the MMC driver to fall
back to PIO mode with an unmodified Kconfig.)
The PIO code, added with the rest of the driver in commit
730c9b7e66 ("[MMC] Add OMAP MMC host
driver"), confused bytes with 16-bit words. This bug caused memory
located after the PIO transfer buffer to be corrupted with transfers
larger than 32 bytes. The driver also did not increment the buffer
pointer after the transfer occurred. This bug resulted in data
corruption during any transfer larger than 64 bytes.

The documentation for the dw_mmc part says that the low power
mode should normally only be set for MMC and SD memory and should
be turned off for SDIO cards that need interrupts detected.
The best place I could find to do this is when the SDIO interrupt
was first enabled. I rely on the fact that dw_mci_setup_bus()
will be called when it's time to reenable.

Data transfer will be continued until all the bytes are transmitted,
even if data crc error occurs during a multiple-block data transfer.
This means RXDR/TXDR interrupts will occurs until data transfer is
terminated. Early setting of host->sg to NULL prevents going into
xxx_data_pio functions, hence permanent unhandled RXDR/TXDR interrupts
occurs. And checking error interrupt status in the xxx_data_pio functions
is no need because dw_mci_interrupt does do the same. This patch also
removes it.

RINTSTS status includes masked interrupts as well as unmasked.
data_status and cmd_status are set by value of RINTSTS in interrupt handler
and tasklet finally uses it to decide whether error is happened or not.
In addition, MINTSTS status is used for setting data_status in PIO.
Masked error interrupt will not be handled and that status can be considered
non-error case.

Even if the datasheet says that the not busy flag has to be used only
for write operations, it's false except for version lesser than v2xx.
Not waiting on the not busy flag for read operations can cause the

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"
A note for stable trees:
Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.
Changing names like this should help:
1. ai -> si
2. aeb_slab_cache -> seb_slab_cache
3. new_aeb -> new_seb

With a low enough MSS on the link partner and TSO enabled locally, the
networking stack can periodically send a very large (e.g. 64KB) TCP
message for which the driver will attempt to use more Tx descriptors than
are available by default in the Tx ring. This is due to a workaround in
the code that imposes a limit of only 4 MSS-sized segments per descriptor
which appears to be a carry-over from the older e1000 driver and may be
applicable only to some older PCI or PCIx parts which are not supported in
e1000e. When the driver gets a message that is too large to fit across the
configured number of Tx descriptors, it stops the upper stack from queueing
any more and gets stuck in this state. After a timeout, the upper stack
assumes the adapter is hung and calls the driver to reset it.
Remove the unnecessary limitation of using up to only 4 MSS-sized segments
per Tx descriptor, and put in a hard failure test to catch when attempting
to check for message sizes larger than would fit in the whole Tx ring.
Refactor the remaining logic that limits the size of data per Tx descriptor
from a seemingly arbitrary 8KB to a limit based on the dynamic size of the
Tx packet buffer as described in the hardware specification.
Also, fix the logic in the check for space in the Tx ring for the next
largest possible packet after the current one has been successfully queued
for transmit, and use the appropriate defines for default ring sizes in
e1000_probe instead of magic values.
This issue goes back to the introduction of e1000e in 2.6.24 when it was
split off from e1000.
