The driver port was done carefully not to depend on USB at all, in favor of
being generic HID driver instead. Therefore there is no need to explicitly
talk about USB only in the config.

The USB LED driver exposes a undocumented sysfs interface and doesn't
use the standard kernel LED subsystem. It supports three devices:
Delcom Visual Signal Indicator
The driver supports generation 1 of the device only which was
manufactured until 2008. Remove support for this device completely.
Riso Kagaku RGB LED + Dream Cheeky Webmail Notifier
These devices are HID compliant and are supported by a new USB LED
driver under drivers/hid utilizing the kernel LED subsystem.
So let's remove the old USB LED driver.

This patch migrates the USB LED driver to the HID subsystem.
Supported are Dream Cheeky Webmail Notifier / Friends Alert
and Riso Kagaku Webmail Notifier.
Benefits:
- Avoid using USB low-level calls and use the HID subsystem instead
(as this device provides a USB HID interface)
- Use standard LED subsystem instead of proprietary sysfs entries,
this allows e.g. to use the device with features like triggers
Successfully tested with a Dream Cheeky Webmail Notifier and a
Riso Kagaku Webmail Notifier compatible device.

The current logic around the 'use_dac' module parameter prevents the
r81969 driver from being loadable on 64-bit systems without any RAM
below 4 GB when the parameter is left at its default value.
So introduce a new default value -1 which indicates that 64-bit DMA
should be enabled on sufficiently recent PCIe chips, i.e., versions
RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_18 or later. Explicit param values of 0 or 1 retain
the existing behavior of unconditionally enabling/disabling 64-bit DMA
on 64-bit architectures (i.e., regardless of the type and version of the
chip)
Since PCIe chips do not need to CPlusCmd Dual Address Cycle to be set,
make that conditional on the device type as well.

If you compile without OF_MDIO support in an RGMII configuration, we fail
to configure the dp83867 phy today by writing garbage into its configuration
registers.
On the other hand if you do compile with OF_MDIO and the phy gets loaded via
device tree, you have to have the properties set in the device tree, otherwise
we fail to load the driver and don't even attach the generic phy driver to
the interface anymore.
To make things slightly more consistent, make the rgmii configuration properties
optional and allow a user to omit them in their device tree.

When CONFIG_OF_MDIO is configured as module, the #define for it really
is CONFIG_OF_MDIO_MODULE, not CONFIG_OF_MDIO. So if we are compiling it
as module, the dp83867 doesn't see that OF_MDIO was selected and doesn't
read the dt rgmii parameters.
The fix is simple: Use IS_ENABLED(). It checks for both - module as well
as compiled in code.

In the current implementation of ARM64 eBPF JIT, R23 and R24 are used for
tmp registers, which are callee-saved registers. This leads to variable size
of JIT prologue and epilogue. The latest blinding constant change prefers to
constant size of prologue and epilogue. AAPCS reserves R9 ~ R15 for temp
registers which not need to be saved/restored during function call. So, replace
R23 and R24 to R10 and R11, and remove tmp_used flag to save 2 instructions for
some jited BPF program.

commit 3f30b158eba5 ("asix: On RX avoid creating bad Ethernet

[ 239.536413] asix 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: asix_rx_fixup() Bad Header Length 0x5638f7e2, offset 4
And network throughput ends up being pretty bursty and slow with
a overall throughput of at best ~30kB/s (where as previously we
got 1.1MB/s with the slower USB1.1 "full speed" host).
We found the issue also was reproducible on a x86_64 system,
using a "high-speed" USB2.0 port but the throughput did not
measurably drop (possibly due to the scp transfer being cpu
bound on my slow test hardware).
After lots of debugging, I found the check added in the
problematic commit seems to be calculating the offset
incorrectly.
In the normal case, in the main loop of the function, we do:
(where offset is zero, or set to "offset += (copy_length + 1) &
0xfffe" in the previous loop)
rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data +
offset);
offset += sizeof(u32);
But the problematic patch calculates:
offset = ((rx->remaining + 1) & 0xfffe) + sizeof(u32);
rx->header = get_unaligned_le32(skb->data + offset);
Adding some debug logic to check those offset calculation used
to find rx->header, the one in problematic code is always too
large by sizeof(u32).
Thus, this patch removes the incorrect " + sizeof(u32)" addition
in the problematic calculation, and resolves the issue.

Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro.
This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer
able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory.
That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the
directory inode mutex.
The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of
a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker.
The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching
filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to
the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock).
A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro:
"The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to
passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the
things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning
of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the
security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to
switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications
there.
After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following:
- untangle security_d_instantiate()
- convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of
that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial
conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended
up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the
permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets
overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution
is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I
didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the
cycle...
- some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion
for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we
relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately.
- core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing
->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At
that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name
wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry.
Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in
fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() -
making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking
shared.
- parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on
per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for
regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in
readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so
I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method
'->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it
as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory
or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method
come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched
already), but it's still not quite finished.
- several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The
interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir;
that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only
shared.
Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those
commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with
their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the
Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have
grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown
rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink
is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of
the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem
code etc. had become exposed...
- do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open()
without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the
->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of
that - atomic_open() fix got brought in.
- then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the
homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All
exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups
mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem
now - rmdir being the writer.
Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel
now.
- the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems
to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified
as well. One backmerge in there (again, #for-linus - rockridge
fix)"

The problem is that fib_info->nh is [0] so the struct fib_info
allocation size depends on number of nexthops. If we just copy fib_info,
we do not copy the nexthops info and driver accesses memory which is not
ours.
Given the fact that fib4 does not defer operations and therefore it does
not need copy, just pass the pointer down to drivers as it was done
before.

Pull tracing ring-buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Hao Qin reported an integer overflow possibility with signed and
unsigned numbers in the ring-buffer code.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118001
At first I did not think this was too much of an issue, because the
overflow would be caught later when either too much data was allocated
or it would trigger RB_WARN_ON() which shuts down the ring buffer.
But looking closer into it, I found that the right settings could
bypass the checks and crash the kernel. Luckily, this is only
accessible by root.
The first fix is to convert all the variables into long, such that we
don't get into issues between 32 bit variables being assigned 64 bit
ones. This fixes the RB_WARN_ON() triggering.
The next fix is to get rid of a duplicate DIV_ROUND_UP() that when
called twice with the right value, can cause a kernel crash.
The first DIV_ROUND_UP() is to normalize the input and it is checked
against the minimum allowable value. But then DIV_ROUND_UP() is
called again, which can overflow due to the (a + b - 1)/b, logic. The
first called upped the value, the second can overflow (with the +b
part).
The second call to DIV_ROUND_UP() came in via a second change a while
ago and the code is cleaned up to remove it"

We saw the following extra refcount release on veth device:
kernel: [7957821.463992] unregister_netdevice: waiting for mesos50284 to become free. Usage count = -1
Since we heavily use mirred action to redirect packets to veth, I think
this is caused by the following race condition:
CPU0:
tcf_mirred_release(): (in RCU callback)
struct net_device *dev = rcu_dereference_protected(m->tcfm_dev, 1);
CPU1:
mirred_device_event():
spin_lock_bh(&mirred_list_lock);
list_for_each_entry(m, &mirred_list, tcfm_list) {
if (rcu_access_pointer(m->tcfm_dev) == dev) {
dev_put(dev);
/* Note : no rcu grace period necessary, as
* net_device are already rcu protected.
*/
RCU_INIT_POINTER(m->tcfm_dev, NULL);
}
}
spin_unlock_bh(&mirred_list_lock);
CPU0:
tcf_mirred_release():
spin_lock_bh(&mirred_list_lock);
list_del(&m->tcfm_list);
spin_unlock_bh(&mirred_list_lock);
if (dev) // <======== Stil refers to the old m->tcfm_dev
dev_put(dev); // <======== dev_put() is called on it again
The action init code path is good because it is impossible to modify
an action that is being removed.
So, fix this by moving everything under the spinlock.

When reopening the network device on ra7795/salvator-x, e.g. after a
DHCP timeout:
IP-Config: Reopening network devices...
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 139. 00000000 (eth0:ch0:rx_be) vs. 00000000 (ravb e6800000.ethernet eth0: cannot request IRQ eth0:ch0:rx_be
IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
IP-Config: No network devices available
The "mismatch" is due to requesting an IRQ that is already in use,
while IRQF_PROBE_SHARED wasn't set.
However, the real cause is that ravb_close() doesn't release any of the
R-Car Gen3-specific secondary IRQs.
Add the missing free_irq() calls to fix this.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes go into the cpufreq subsystem this time.
To me, quite obviously, the biggest ticket item is the new "schedutil"
governor. Interestingly enough, it's the first new cpufreq governor
since the beginning of the git era (except for some out-of-the-tree
ones).
There are two main differences between it and the existing governors.
First, it uses the information provided by the scheduler directly for
making its decisions, so it doesn't have to track anything by itself.
Second, it can invoke drivers (supporting that feature) to adjust CPU
performance right away without having to spawn work items to be
executed in process context or similar. Currently, the acpi-cpufreq
driver is the only one supporting that mode of operation, but then it
is used on a large number of systems.
The "schedutil" governor as included here is very simple and mostly
regarded as a foundation for future work on the integration of the
scheduler with CPU power management (in fact, there is work in
progress on top of it already). Nevertheless it works and the
preliminary results obtained with it are encouraging.
There also is some consolidation of CPU frequency management for ARM
platforms that can add their machine IDs the the new stub dt-platdev
driver now and that will take care of creating the requisite platform
device for cpufreq-dt, so it is not necessary to do that in platform
code any more. Several ARM platforms are switched over to using this
generic mechanism.
In addition to that, the intel_pstate driver is now going to respect
CPU frequency limits set by the platform firmware (or a BMC) and
provided via the ACPI _PPC object.
The devfreq subsystem is getting a new "passive" governor for SoCs
subsystems that will depend on somebody else to manage their voltage
rails and its support for Samsung Exynos SoCs is consolidated.
The rest is support for new hardware (Intel Broxton support in
intel_idle for one example), bug fixes, optimizations and cleanups in
a number of places.
Specifics:
- New cpufreq "schedutil" governor (making decisions based on CPU
utilization information provided by the scheduler and capable of
switching CPU frequencies right away if the underlying driver
supports that) and support for fast frequency switching in the
acpi-cpufreq driver (Rafael Wysocki)
- Consolidation of CPU frequency management on ARM platforms allowing
them to get rid of some platform-specific boilerplate code if they
are going to use the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh Kumar, Finley Xiao,
Marc Gonzalez)
- Support for ACPI _PPC and CPU frequency limits in the intel_pstate
driver (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- Fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq core and generic governor code
(Rafael Wysocki, Sai Gurrappadi)
- intel_pstate driver optimizations and cleanups (Rafael Wysocki,

- Fixes and cleanups in the OPP (Operating Performance Points)
framework, mostly related to OPP sharing, and reorganization of
OF-dependent code in it (Viresh Kumar, Arnd Bergmann, Sudeep Holla)
- New "passive" governor for devfreq (for SoC subsystems that will
rely on someone else for the management of their power resources)
and consolidation of devfreq support for Exynos platforms, coding
style and typo fixes for devfreq (Chanwoo Choi, MyungJoo Ham)
- PM core fixes and cleanups, mostly to make it work better with the
generic power domains (genpd) framework, and updates for that
framework (Ulf Hansson, Thierry Reding, Colin Ian King)
- Intel Broxton support for the intel_idle driver (Len Brown)
