Pull block updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21. Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up. Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged. This contains: - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd) - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph) - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo) - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui) * Optimizations for writeback caching * Various fixes and improvements - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith) * host and target support for NVMe over TCP * Error log page support * Support for separate read/write/poll queues * Much improved polling * discard OOM fallback * Tracepoint improvements - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier) * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata per LBA can be used as well. * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads. * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path. * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery code. * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie. * Small geometry cleanup from me. - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to blk-mq (me) - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph) - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me) - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all. blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less. Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully coming in the next release. - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph) - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef) - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato) - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph) - IO priority improvements (Damien) - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien) - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis) - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me) - sbitmap scalability improvements (me) - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas) - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping) - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao) - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging (Ming) - Lots of other fixes and improvements" * tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (364 commits) kyber: use sbitmap add_wait_queue/list_del wait helpers sbitmap: add helpers for add/del wait queue handling block: save irq state in blkg_lookup_create() dm: don't reuse bio for flushes nvme-pci: trace SQ status on completions nvme-rdma: implement polling queue map nvme-fabrics: allow user to pass in nr_poll_queues nvme-fabrics: allow nvmf_connect_io_queue to poll nvme-core: optionally poll sync commands block: make request_to_qc_t public nvme-tcp: fix spelling mistake "attepmpt" -> "attempt" nvme-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvmet-tcp: fix endianess annotations nvme-pci: refactor nvme_poll_irqdisable to make sparse happy nvme-pci: only set nr_maps to 2 if poll queues are supported nvmet: use a macro for default error location nvmet: fix comparison of a u16 with -1 blk-mq: enable IO poll if .nr_queues of type poll > 0 blk-mq: change blk_mq_queue_busy() to blk_mq_queue_inflight() blk-mq: skip zero-queue maps in blk_mq_map_swqueue ...

ath10k: add support to configure BB timing over wmi

2018-12-20T17:10:01+00:00

Add wmi configuration cmd to configure base band(BB) power amplifier(PA) off timing values in hardware. The default PA off timings were fine tuned to make proper DFS radar detection in QCA reference design. If ODM uses different PA in their design, then the same default PA off timing values cannot be used, it requires different settling time to detect radar pulses very sooner and avoid radar detection problems. In that case it provides provision to select proper PA off timing values based on the PA hardware used. The PA component is part of FEM hardware and new device tree entry "ext-fem-name" is used to indentify the FEM hardware. And this wmi configuration cmd is enabled via wmi service flag "WMI_SERVICE_BB_TIMING_CONFIG_SUPPORT". Other way is to apply these values through calibration data, but recalibration of all boards out there might not be feasible. This change tested on firmware ver 10.2.4-1.0-00042 in QCA988X chipset.

ath10k: fix tx_stats memory leak

2018-12-20T17:08:44+00:00

Memory of tx_stats was allocated when a STA was added. But it's not freed if the STA failed to be added to driver. This issue could be seen in MDK3 attack case when STA number reached the limit. Tested: QCA9984 with firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.1-00005 Signed-off-by: Zhi Chen Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo

ath10k: fix peer stats null pointer dereference

2018-12-20T17:08:35+00:00

There was a race condition in SMP that an ath10k_peer was created but its member sta was null. Following are procedures of ath10k_peer creation and member sta access in peer statistics path. 1. Peer creation: ath10k_peer_create() =>ath10k_wmi_peer_create() =>ath10k_wait_for_peer_created() ... # another kernel path, RX from firmware ath10k_htt_t2h_msg_handler() =>ath10k_peer_map_event() =>wake_up() # ar->peer_map[id] = peer //add peer to map #wake up original path from waiting ... # peer->sta = sta //sta assignment 2. RX path of statistics ath10k_htt_t2h_msg_handler() =>ath10k_update_per_peer_tx_stats() =>ath10k_htt_fetch_peer_stats() # peer->sta //sta accessing Any access of peer->sta after peer was added to peer_map but before sta was assigned could cause a null pointer issue. And because these two steps are asynchronous, no proper lock can protect them. So both peer and sta need to be checked before access.

ath10k: move non-fatal warn logs to dbg level

2018-12-20T17:06:01+00:00

During driver load below warn logs are printed in the console. Since driver may not implement all wmi events sent by fw and all of them are non-fatal, move this log to debug level to remove un-necessary warn message on console.
