buf_in_between() gets passed q->u.in.ack_start as 'bufnr' parameter.
The ack_start always ranges between 0 and QDIO_MAX_BUFFERS_PER_Q - 1,
so the subsequent check will always return true. Remove it.

Knowing how many queues we initially allocated allows us to
1) sanity-check a subsequent qdio_establish() request, and
2) walk the queue arrays without further checks. Apply this while
cleanly splitting qdio_free_queues() into two separate helpers.

qdio_establish() calls qdio_setup_thinint() via qdio_setup_irq().
If the subsequent qdio_establish_thinint() fails, we miss to put the
DSCI again. Thus the DSCI isn't available for re-use. Given enough of
such errors, we could end up with having only the shared DSCI available.
Merge qdio_setup_thinint() into qdio_establish_thinint(), and deal with
such an error internally.

For rolling back after an error, qdio_establish() calls qdio_shutdown().
If the error occurs early enough, then the qdio_irq's state still is
QDIO_IRQ_STATE_INACTIVE and qdio_shutdown() does nothing.
But at _any_ point where qdio_establish() bails out in this way,
qdio_setup_irq() will have already replaced the IRQ handler. This then
won't be restored after an early error, and the device can end up being
returned to the device driver with qdio's IRQ handler still installed.
Slightly reorder qdio_setup_irq() so we can be 100% sure that the IRQ
handler was replaced. Then fix the bug in qdio_establish() by calling a
helper that rolls back only the IRQ handler modification.
Also use the new helper in qdio_shutdown() to keep things in sync, and
slightly clean up the locking while doing so.
This makes minor semantical changes, but holding setup_mutex gives us
sufficient leeway to eg. pull qdio_shutdown_thinint() outside of the
ccwdev lock's scope.

The zPCI bus is in charge to handle common zPCI resources for
zPCI devices.
Creating the zPCI bus, the PCI bus, the zPCI devices and the
PCI devices and hotplug slots
done in a specific order:
- PCI hotplug slot creation needs a PCI bus
- PCI bus needs a PCI domain
which is reported by the pci_domain_nr() when setting up the
host bridge
- PCI domain is set from the zPCI with devfn 0
this is necessary to have a reproducible enumeration
Therefore we can not create devices or hotplug slots for any PCI
device associated with a zPCI device before having discovered
the function zero of the bus.
The discovery and initialization of devices can be done at several
points in the code:
- On Events, serialized in a thread context
- On initialization, in the kernel init thread context
- When powering on the hotplug slot, in a user thread context
The removal of devices and their parent bus may also be done on
events or for devices when powering down the slot.
To guarantee the existence of the bus and devices until they are
no more needed we use kref in zPCI bus and introduce a reference
count in the zPCI devices.
In this patch the zPCI bus still only accept a device with
a devfn 0.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
become split again.
However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
the munmap at the start of the mremap.
A really simple repro can be seen in:

Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@embeddedor.com>
|

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
