[ Upstream commit 7d374b2090 ]
There is a repeated pattern in multiple drivers where they want to switch
the bandwidth between zero and some other value. This is happening often
in the suspend/resume callbacks. Let's add helper functions to enable and
disable the path, so that callers don't have to take care of remembering
the bandwidth values and handle this in the framework instead.
With this patch the users can call icc_disable() and icc_enable() to lower
their bandwidth request to zero and then restore it back to it's previous
value.

The MIPS GIC driver uses irq_cpu_online() to go and program the
per-CPU interrupts. However, this method iterates over all IRQs
in the system, despite only 3 per-CPU interrupts being of interest.
Let's be terribly bold and do the iteration ourselves. To ensure
mutual exclusion, hold the gic_lock spinlock that is otherwise
taken while dealing with these interrupts.

[ Upstream commit 81302b1c7c ]
It's reported that the recording started right after the driver probe
doesn't work properly, and it turned out that this is related with the
codec auto-suspend. Namely, after the probe phase, the usage count
goes zero, and the auto-suspend is programmed, but the codec is kept
still active until the auto-suspend expiration. When an application
(e.g. alsactl) updates the mixer values at this moment, the values are
cached but not actually written. Then, starting arecord thereafter
also results in the silence because of the missing unmute.
The root cause is the handling of "lazy update" mode; when a mixer
value is updated *after* the suspend, it should update only the cache
and exits. At the resume, the cached value is written to the device,
in turn. The problem is that the current code misinterprets the state
of auto-suspend as if it were already suspended.
Although we can add the check of the actual device state after
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() for catching the missing state, this won't
suffice; the second call of regmap_update_bits_check() will skip
writing the register because the cache has been already updated by the
first call. So we'd need fixes in two different places.
OTOH, a simpler fix is to replace pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() with
pm_runtime_get_if_active() (with ign_usage_count=true). This change
implies that the driver takes the pm refcount if the device is still
in ACTIVE state and continues the processing. A small caveat is that
this will leave the auto-suspend timer. But, since the timer callback
itself checks the device state and aborts gracefully when it's active,
this won't be any substantial problem.
Long story short: we address the missing register-write problem just
by replacing the pm_runtime_*() call in snd_hda_keep_power_up().

[ Upstream commit c111566bea ]
pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() bumps up the PM-runtime usage count if it
is not equal to zero and the device's PM-runtime status is 'active'.
This works for drivers that do not use autoidle, but for those that
do, the function returns zero even when the device is active.
In order to maintain sane device state while the device is powered on
in the hope that it'll be needed, pm_runtime_get_if_active(dev, true)
returns a positive value if the device's PM-runtime status is 'active'
when it is called, in which case it also increments the device's usage
count.
If the second argument of pm_runtime_get_if_active() is 'false', the
function behaves just like pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(), so redefine
the latter as a wrapper around the former.

This causes interrupts from PCIe devices to not reach the guest in the case
of PCIe passthrough with SME (Secure Memory Encryption) enabled as _SME_

The variable codec->regmap is often protected by the lock
codec->regmap_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed without
holding the lock when is accessed in snd_hdac_regmap_sync():
if (codec->regmap)
In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because if codec->regmap is
set to NULL right after the condition is checked, a null-pointer
dereference can occur in the called function regcache_sync():
map->lock(map->lock_arg); --> Line 360 in drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the
mutex_lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the
function call to regcache_sync().
[ Note: the lack of the regmap_lock itself is harmless for the current
codec driver implementations, as snd_hdac_regmap_sync() is only for
PM runtime resume that is prohibited during the codec probe.
But the change makes the whole code more consistent, so it's merged

commit 175544ad48 upstream.
Hyper-V provides the ability to connect Fibre Channel LUNs to the host
system and present them in a guest VM as a SCSI device. I/O to the vFC
device is handled by the storvsc driver. The storvsc driver includes a
partial integration with the FC transport implemented in the generic
portion of the Linux SCSI subsystem so that FC attributes can be displayed
in /sys. However, the partial integration means that some aspects of vFC
don't work properly. Unfortunately, a full and correct integration isn't
practical because of limitations in what Hyper-V provides to the guest.
In particular, in the context of Hyper-V storvsc, the FC transport timeout
function fc_eh_timed_out() causes a kernel panic because it can't find the
rport and dereferences a NULL pointer. The original patch that added the
call from storvsc_eh_timed_out() to fc_eh_timed_out() is faulty in this
regard.
In many cases a timeout is due to a transient condition, so the situation
can be improved by just continuing to wait like with other I/O requests
issued by storvsc, and avoiding the guaranteed panic. For a permanent
failure, continuing to wait may result in a hung thread instead of a panic,
which again may be better.
So fix the panic by removing the storvsc call to fc_eh_timed_out(). This
allows storvsc to keep waiting for a response. The change has been tested
by users who experienced a panic in fc_eh_timed_out() due to transient
timeouts, and it solves their problem.
In the future we may want to deprecate the vFC functionality in storvsc
since it can't be fully fixed. But it has current users for whom it is
working well enough, so it should probably stay for a while longer.

commit 9426d3cef5 upstream.
(lightly modified commit message mostly by Linus Torvalds)
The parsing code for /proc/scsi/scsi is disgusting and broken. We should
have just used 'sscanf()' or something simple like that, but the logic may
actually predate our kernel sscanf library routine for all I know. It
certainly predates both git and BK histories.
And we can't change it to be something sane like that now, because the
string matching at the start is done case-insensitively, and the separator
parsing between numbers isn't done at all, so *any* separator will work,
including a possible terminating NUL character.
This interface is root-only, and entirely for legacy use, so there is
absolutely no point in trying to tighten up the parsing. Because any
separator has traditionally worked, it's entirely possible that people have
used random characters rather than the suggested space.
So don't bother to try to pretty it up, and let's just make a minimal patch
that can be back-ported and we can forget about this whole sorry thing for
another two decades.
Just make it at least not read past the end of the supplied data.
