Regressions for not being able to detect an eMMC HS DDR mode card has been
reported for the sdhci-esdhc-imx driver, but potentially other sdhci
variants may suffer from the similar problem.
The commit e173f8911f ("mmc: core: Update CMD13 polling policy when
switch to HS DDR mode"), is causing the problem. It seems that change moved
one step to far, regarding changing the host's timing before polling for a
busy card.
To fix this, let's move back to the behaviour when the host's timing is
updated after the polling, but before the switch status is fetched and
validated.
In cases when polling with CMD13, we keep validating the switch status at
each attempt. However, to align with the other card busy detections
mechanism, let's fetch and validate the switch status also after the host's
timing is updated.

The logics in pipe_advance() used to release all buffers past the new

If the last section of a core file ends with an unmapped or zero page,
the size of the file does not correspond with the last dump_skip() call.
gdb complains that the file is truncated and can be confusing to users.
After all of the vma sections are written, make sure that the file size
is no smaller than the current file position.
This problem can be demonstrated with gdb's bigcore testcase on the

====================
For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
* minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
* set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
kernel, which was already available to userspace
* don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
room to add them
* multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
(since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
magnitude)
* add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
* add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
* many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

The region set by the call to memset, immediately overwritten by
the subsequent call to memcpy and thus makes the memset redundant.
Also remove the memset((&info, 0, sizeof(info)) on line 398 because
info is memcpy()'ed to before being used in the loop and it isn't
used outside of the loop.

Some machines, such as the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 with firmware GNET80WW
(2.28), include memory map entries with phys_addr=0x0 and num_pages=0.
These machines fail to boot after the following commit,
commit 8e80632fb2 ("efi/esrt: Use efi_mem_reserve() and avoid a kmalloc()")
Fix this by removing such bogus entries from the memory map.
Furthermore, currently the log output for this case (with efi=debug)
looks like:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff] (0MB)
This is clearly wrong, and also not as informative as it could be. This
patch changes it so that if we find obviously invalid memory map
entries, we print an error and skip those entries. It also detects the
display of the address range calculation overflow, so the new output is:
[ 0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000000] (invalid)
It also detects memory map sizes that would overflow the physical
address, for example phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000 and
num_pages=0x0200000000000001, and prints:
[ 0.000000] efi: [Firmware Bug]: Invalid EFI memory map entries:
[ 0.000000] efi: mem45: [Reserved | | | | | | | | | | | | ] range=[phys_addr=0xfffffffffffff000-0x20ffffffffffffffff] (invalid)
It then removes these entries from the memory map.

It's possible to set up PEBS events to get only errors and not
any data, like on SNB-X (model 45) and IVB-EP (model 62)
via 2 perf commands running simultaneously:
taskset -c 1 ./perf record -c 4 -e branches:pp -j any -C 10
This leads to a soft lock up, because the error path of the
intel_pmu_drain_pebs_nhm() does not account event->hw.interrupt
for error PEBS interrupts, so in case you're getting ONLY
errors you don't have a way to stop the event when it's over
the max_samples_per_tick limit:
NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#22 stuck for 22s! [perf_fuzzer:5816]

Di Shen reported a race between two concurrent sys_perf_event_open()
calls where both try and move the same pre-existing software group
into a hardware context.
The problem is exactly that described in commit:
f63a8daa58 ("perf: Fix event->ctx locking")
... where, while we wait for a ctx->mutex acquisition, the event->ctx
relation can have changed under us.
That very same commit failed to recognise sys_perf_event_context() as an
external access vector to the events and thereby didn't apply the
established locking rules correctly.
So while one sys_perf_event_open() call is stuck waiting on
mutex_lock_double(), the other (which owns said locks) moves the group
about. So by the time the former sys_perf_event_open() acquires the
locks, the context we've acquired is stale (and possibly dead).
Apply the established locking rules as per perf_event_ctx_lock_nested()
to the mutex_lock_double() for the 'move_group' case. This obviously means
we need to validate state after we acquire the locks.

There is problem with installing an event in a task that is 'stuck' on
an offline CPU.
Blocked tasks are not dis-assosciated from offlined CPUs, after all, a
blocked task doesn't run and doesn't require a CPU etc.. Only on
wakeup do we ammend the situation and place the task on a available
CPU.
If we hit such a task with perf_install_in_context() we'll loop until
either that task wakes up or the CPU comes back online, if the task
waking depends on the event being installed, we're stuck.
While looking into this issue, I also spotted another problem, if we
hit a task with perf_install_in_context() that is in the middle of
being migrated, that is we observe the old CPU before sending the IPI,
but run the IPI (on the old CPU) while the task is already running on
the new CPU, things also go sideways.
Rework things to rely on task_curr() -- outside of rq->lock -- which
is rather tricky. Imagine the following scenario where we're trying to
install the first event into our task 't':
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
(current == t)
t->perf_event_ctxp[] = ctx;
smp_mb();
cpu = task_cpu(t);
switch(t, n);
migrate(t, 2);
switch(p, t);
ctx = t->perf_event_ctxp[]; // must not be NULL
smp_function_call(cpu, ..);
generic_exec_single()
func();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
if (task_curr(t)) // false
add_event_to_ctx();
spin_unlock(ctx->lock);
perf_event_context_sched_in();
spin_lock(ctx->lock);
// sees event
So its CPU0's store of t->perf_event_ctxp[] that must not go 'missing'.
Because if CPU2's load of that variable were to observe NULL, it would
not try to schedule the ctx and we'd have a task running without its
counter, which would be 'bad'.
As long as we observe !NULL, we'll acquire ctx->lock. If we acquire it
first and not see the event yet, then CPU0 must observe task_curr()
and retry. If the install happens first, then we must see the event on
sched-in and all is well.
I think we can translate the first part (until the 'must not be NULL')
of the scenario to a litmus test like:
C C-peterz
{
}
P0(int *x, int *y)
{
int r1;
WRITE_ONCE(*x, 1);
smp_mb();
r1 = READ_ONCE(*y);
}
P1(int *y, int *z)
{
WRITE_ONCE(*y, 1);
smp_store_release(z, 1);
}
P2(int *x, int *z)
{
int r1;
int r2;
r1 = smp_load_acquire(z);
smp_mb();
r2 = READ_ONCE(*x);
}
exists
(0:r1=0 /\ 2:r1=1 /\ 2:r2=0)
Where:
x is perf_event_ctxp[],
y is our tasks's CPU, and
z is our task being placed on the rq of CPU2.
The P0 smp_mb() is the one added by this patch, ordering the store to
perf_event_ctxp[] from find_get_context() and the load of task_cpu()
in task_function_call().
The smp_store_release/smp_load_acquire model the RCpc locking of the
rq->lock and the smp_mb() of P2 is the context switch switching from
whatever CPU2 was running to our task 't'.
This litmus test evaluates into:

tcp: RACK fast recovery
The patch set enables RACK loss detection (draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01)
to trigger fast recovery with a reordering timer.
Previously RACK has been running in auxiliary mode where it is
used to detect packet losses once the recovery has triggered by
other algorithms (e.g., FACK). By inspecting packet timestamps,
RACK can start ACK-driven repairs timely. A few similar heuristics
are no longer needed and are either removed or disabled to reduce
the complexity of the Linux TCP loss recovery engine:
1. FACK (Forward Acknowledgement)
2. Early Retransmit (RFC5827)
3. thin_dupack (fast recovery on single DUPACK for thin-streams)
4. NCR (Non-Congestion Robustness RFC4653) (RFC4653)
5. Forward Retransmit
After this change, Linux's loss recovery algorithms consist of
1. Conventional DUPACK threshold approach (RFC6675)
2. RACK and Tail Loss Probe (draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01)
3. RTO plus F-RTO extension (RFC5682)
The patch set has been tested on Google servers extensively and
presented in several IETF meetings. The data suggests that RACK
successfully improves recovery performance:
https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/97/slides/slides-97-tcpm-draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-01.pdfhttps://www.ietf.org/proceedings/96/slides/slides-96-tcpm-3.pdf

This patch disables FACK by default as RACK is the successor of FACK
(inspired by the insights behind FACK).
FACK[1] in Linux works as follows: a packet P is deemed lost,
if packet Q of higher sequence is s/acked and P and Q are distant
by at least dupthresh number of packets in sequence space.
FACK is more aggressive than the IETF recommened recovery for SACK
(RFC3517 A Conservative Selective Acknowledgment (SACK)-based Loss
Recovery Algorithm for TCP), because a single SACK may trigger
fast recovery. This obviously won't work well with reordering so
FACK is dynamically disabled upon detecting reordering.
RACK supersedes FACK by using time distance instead of sequence
distance. On reordering, RACK waits for a quarter of RTT receiving
a single SACK before starting recovery. (the timer can be made more
adaptive in the future by measuring reordering distance in time,
but currently RTT/4 seem to work well.) Once the recovery starts,
RACK behaves almost like FACK because it reduces the reodering
window to 1ms, so it fast retransmits quickly. In addition RACK
can detect loss retransmission as it does not care about the packet
sequences (being repeated or not), which is extremely useful when
the connection is going through a traffic policer.
Google server experiments indicate that disabling FACK after enabling
RACK has negligible impact on the overall loss recovery performance
with more reordering events detected. But we still keep the FACK
implementation for backup if RACK has bugs that needs to be disabled.

Thin stream DUPACK is to start fast recovery on only one DUPACK
provided the connection is a thin stream (i.e., low inflight). But
this older feature is now subsumed with RACK. If a connection
receives only a single DUPACK, RACK would arm a reordering timer
and soon starts fast recovery instead of timeout if no further
ACKs are received.
The socket option (THIN_DUPACK) is kept as a nop for compatibility.
Note that this patch does not change another thin-stream feature
which enables linear RTO. Although it might be good to generalize
that in the future (i.e., linear RTO for the first say 3 retries).

This patch removes the (partial) implementation of the aggressive
limited transmit in RFC4653 TCP Non-Congestion Robustness (NCR).
NCR is a mitigation to the problem created by the dynamic
DUPACK threshold. With the current adaptive DUPACK threshold
(tp->reordering) could cause timeouts by preventing fast recovery.
For example, if the last packet of a cwnd burst was reordered, the
threshold will be set to the size of cwnd. But if next application
burst is smaller than threshold and has drops instead of reorderings,
the sender would not trigger fast recovery but instead resorts to a
timeout recovery.
NCR mitigates this issue by checking the number of DUPACKs against
the current flight size additionally. The techniqueue is similar to
the early retransmit RFC.
With RACK loss detection, this mitigation is not needed, because RACK
does not use DUPACK threshold to detect losses. RACK arms a reordering
timer to fire at most a quarter RTT later to start fast recovery.

This patch removes the support of RFC5827 early retransmit (i.e.,
fast recovery on small inflight with <3 dupacks) because it is
subsumed by the new RACK loss detection. More specifically when
RACK receives DUPACKs, it'll arm a reordering timer to start fast
recovery after a quarter of (min)RTT, hence it covers the early
retransmit except RACK does not limit itself to specific inflight
or dupack numbers.

Forward retransmit is an esoteric feature in RFC3517 (condition(3)
in the NextSeg()). Basically if a packet is not considered lost by
the current criteria (# of dupacks etc), but the congestion window
has room for more packets, then retransmit this packet.
However it actually conflicts with the rest of recovery design. For
example, when reordering is detected we want to be conservative
in retransmitting packets but forward-retransmit feature would
break that to force more retransmission. Also the implementation is
fairly complicated inside the retransmission logic inducing extra
iterations in the write queue. With RACK losses are being detected
timely and this heuristic is no longer necessary. There this patch

Current F-RTO reverts cwnd reset whenever a never-retransmitted
packet was (s)acked. The timeout can be declared spurious because
the packets acknoledged with this ACK was transmitted before the
timeout, so clearly not all the packets are lost to reset the cwnd.
This nice detection does not really depend F-RTO internals. This
patch applies the detection universally. On Google servers this
change detected 20% more spurious timeouts.

This patch changes two things:
1. Start fast recovery with RACK in addition to other heuristics
(e.g., DUPACK threshold, FACK). Prior to this change RACK
is enabled to detect losses only after the recovery has
started by other algorithms.
2. Disable TCP early retransmit. RACK subsumes the early retransmit
with the new reordering timer feature. A latter patch in this
series removes the early retransmit code.
