commit 35e4f2a17eb40288f9bcdb09549fa04a63a96279 upstream.

The per-device MSI allocation calculation in pseries_irq_domain_alloc()
is clearly wrong. It can still happen to work when nr_irqs is 1.

Correct it.

<id>urn:sha1:1e582d36f6c6bd36d04ec8612bba7a68d6efff69</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c0215e2d72debcd9cbc1c002fb012d50a3140387 ]

Nilay reported that since commit daaa574aba6f ("powerpc/pseries/msi: Switch
to msi_create_parent_irq_domain()"), the NVMe driver cannot enable MSI-X
when the device's MSI-X table size is larger than the firmware's MSI quota
for the device.

This is because the commit changes how rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() is called:

  - Before, it is called when interrupts are allocated at the global
    interrupt domain with nvec_in being the number of allocated interrupts.
    rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() can return a positive number and the allocation
    will be retried.

  - Now, it is called at the creation of per-device interrupt domain with
    nvec_in being the number of interrupts that the device supports. If
    rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() returns positive, domain creation just fails.

For Nilay's NVMe driver case, rtas_prepare_msi_irqs() returns a positive
number (the quota). This causes per-device interrupt domain creation to
fail and thus the NVMe driver cannot enable MSI-X.

Rework to make this scenario works again:

  - pseries_msi_ops_prepare() only prepares as many interrupts as the quota
    permit.

  - pseries_irq_domain_alloc() fails if the device's quota is exceeded.

Now, if the quota is exceeded, pseries_msi_ops_prepare() will only prepare
as allowed by the quota. If device drivers attempt to allocate more
interrupts than the quota permits, pseries_irq_domain_alloc() will return
an error code and msi_handle_pci_fail() will allow device drivers a retry.

Let's properly adjust BALLOON_MIGRATE like the other drivers.

Note that the INFLATE/DEFLATE events are triggered from the core when
enqueueing/dequeueing pages.

Patch series "powerpc/pseries/cmm: two smaller fixes".

Two smaller fixes identified while doing a bigger rework.


This patch (of 2):

We always have to initialize the balloon_dev_info, even when compaction is
not configured in: otherwise the containing list and the lock are left
uninitialized.

Likely not many such configs exist in practice, but let's CC stable to
be sure.

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the FD_ADD() and FD_PREPARE() primitive. They simplify the
  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd &lt; 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file-&gt;file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file-&gt;file);
          return fdf.err;
      }

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &amp;data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"
