Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: ideapad-laptop: use usleep_range() for EC
polling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
It was reported that ideapad-laptop sometimes causes some recent (since
2024) Lenovo ThinkBook models shut down when:
- suspending/resuming
- closing/opening the lid
- (dis)connecting a charger
- reading/writing some sysfs properties, e.g., fan_mode, touchpad
- pressing down some Fn keys, e.g., Brightness Up/Down (Fn+F5/F6)
- (seldom) loading the kmod
The issue has existed since the launch day of such models, and there
have been some out-of-tree workarounds (see Link:) for the issue. One
disables some functionalities, while another one simply shortens
IDEAPAD_EC_TIMEOUT. The disabled functionalities have read_ec_data() in
their call chains, which calls schedule() between each poll.
It turns out that these models suffer from the indeterminacy of
schedule() because of their low tolerance for being polled too
frequently. Sometimes schedule() returns too soon due to the lack of
ready tasks, causing the margin between two polls to be too short.
In this case, the command is somehow aborted, and too many subsequent
polls (they poll for "nothing!") may eventually break the state machine
in the EC, resulting in a hard shutdown. This explains why shortening
IDEAPAD_EC_TIMEOUT works around the issue - it reduces the total number
of polls sent to the EC.
Even when it doesn't lead to a shutdown, frequent polls may also disturb
the ongoing operation and notably delay (+ 10-20ms) the availability of
EC response. This phenomenon is unlikely to be exclusive to the models
mentioned above, so dropping the schedule() manner should also slightly
improve the responsiveness of various models.
Fix these issues by migrating to usleep_range(150, 300). The interval is
chosen to add some margin to the minimal 50us and considering EC
responses are usually available after 150-2500us based on my test. It
should be enough to fix these issues on all models subject to the EC bug
without introducing latency on other models.
Tested on ThinkBook 14 G7+ ASP and solved both issues. No regression was
introduced in the test on a model without the EC bug (ThinkBook X IMH,
thanks Eric).

Subject: [PATCH] mm: close theoretical race where stale TLB entries could
linger
Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a
parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries") described a theoretical race
as such:
"""
Nadav Amit identified a theoretical race between page reclaim and mprotect
due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.
He described the race as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
user accesses memory using RW PTE
[PTE now cached in TLB]
try_to_unmap_one()
==> ptep_get_and_clear()
==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
==> change_pte_range()
==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ]
user writes using cached RW PTE
...
try_to_unmap_flush()
The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as
munmap, mremap and madvise.
"""
The solution was to introduce flush_tlb_batched_pending() and call it
under the PTL from mprotect/madvise/munmap/mremap to complete any pending
tlb flushes.
However, while madvise_free_pte_range() and
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() were both retro-fitted to call
flush_tlb_batched_pending() immediately after initially acquiring the PTL,
they both temporarily release the PTL to split a large folio if they
stumble upon one. In this case, where re-acquiring the PTL
flush_tlb_batched_pending() must be called again, but it previously was
not. Let's fix that.
There are 2 Fixes: tags here: the first is the commit that fixed
madvise_free_pte_range(). The second is the commit that added
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), which looks like it copy/pasted the
faulty pattern from madvise_free_pte_range().
This is a theoretical bug discovered during code review.

Subject: [PATCH] mm: close theoretical race where stale TLB entries could
linger
Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a
parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries") described a theoretical race
as such:
"""
Nadav Amit identified a theoretical race between page reclaim and mprotect
due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held.
He described the race as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
user accesses memory using RW PTE
[PTE now cached in TLB]
try_to_unmap_one()
==> ptep_get_and_clear()
==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending()
mprotect(addr, PROT_READ)
==> change_pte_range()
==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ]
user writes using cached RW PTE
...
try_to_unmap_flush()
The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and
also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as
munmap, mremap and madvise.
"""
The solution was to introduce flush_tlb_batched_pending() and call it
under the PTL from mprotect/madvise/munmap/mremap to complete any pending
tlb flushes.
However, while madvise_free_pte_range() and
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() were both retro-fitted to call
flush_tlb_batched_pending() immediately after initially acquiring the PTL,
they both temporarily release the PTL to split a large folio if they
stumble upon one. In this case, where re-acquiring the PTL
flush_tlb_batched_pending() must be called again, but it previously was
not. Let's fix that.
There are 2 Fixes: tags here: the first is the commit that fixed
madvise_free_pte_range(). The second is the commit that added
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), which looks like it copy/pasted the
faulty pattern from madvise_free_pte_range().
This is a theoretical bug discovered during code review.

Subject: [PATCH] cifs: deal with the channel loading lag while picking
channels
Our current approach to select a channel for sending requests is this:
1. iterate all channels to find the min and max queue depth
2. if min and max are not the same, pick the channel with min depth
3. if min and max are same, round robin, as all channels are equally loaded
The problem with this approach is that there's a lag between selecting
a channel and sending the request (that increases the queue depth on the channel).
While these numbers will eventually catch up, there could be a skew in the
channel usage, depending on the application's I/O parallelism and the server's
speed of handling requests.
With sufficient parallelism, this lag can artificially increase the queue depth,
thereby impacting the performance negatively.
This change will change the step 1 above to start the iteration from the last
selected channel. This is to reduce the skew in channel usage even in the presence
of this lag.

Hi,
I have discovered that two small form factor desktops with Ryzen AI 7
350 and Ryzen AI 5 340 crash when woken up from suspend. I can see how
the LED on the USB mouse is switched on when I trigger a resume via
keyboard button, but the display remains black. The kernel also no
longer responds to Magic SysRq keys in this state.
The problem affects all kernels after merge b50753547453 (v6.11.0). But
this merge only adds PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_1AH_M60H_ROOT with commit
59c34008d (necessary to trigger this bug with Ryzen AI CPU).
I cherry-picked this commit and continued searching. Which finally led
me to commit f6098641d3e - drm/amd/display: fix s2idle entry for DCN3.5+
If I remove the code, which has changed somewhat in the meantime, then
the suspend works without any problems. See the following patch.
Regards,
Georg

Subject: [PATCH] mm/khugepaged: fix race with folio split/free using temporary
reference
hpage_collapse_scan_file() calls is_refcount_suitable(), which in turn
calls folio_mapcount(). folio_mapcount() checks folio_test_large() before
proceeding to folio_large_mapcount(), but there is a race window where the
folio may get split/freed between these checks, triggering:
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO(!folio_test_large(folio), folio)
Take a temporary reference to the folio in hpage_collapse_scan_file().
This stabilizes the folio during refcount check and prevents incorrect
large folio detection due to concurrent split/free. Use helper
folio_expected_ref_count() + 1 to compare with folio_ref_count() instead
of using is_refcount_suitable().

Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: fix huge_pmd_unshare() vs GUP-fast race
huge_pmd_unshare() drops a reference on a page table that may have
previously been shared across processes, potentially turning it into a

If this happens in the middle of a concurrent gup_fast(), gup_fast() could
end up walking the page tables of another process. While I don't see any

really weird and unexpected.
Fix it with an explicit broadcast IPI through tlb_remove_table_sync_one(),
just like we do in khugepaged when removing page tables for a THP
collapse.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: unshare page tables during VMA split, not before
Currently, __split_vma() triggers hugetlb page table unsharing through
vm_ops->may_split(). This happens before the VMA lock and rmap locks are
taken - which is too early, it allows racing VMA-locked page faults in our
process and racing rmap walks from other processes to cause page tables to
be shared again before we actually perform the split.
Fix it by explicitly calling into the hugetlb unshare logic from
__split_vma() in the same place where THP splitting also happens. At that
point, both the VMA and the rmap(s) are write-locked.
An annoying detail is that we can now call into the helper
hugetlb_unshare_pmds() from two different locking contexts:
1. from hugetlb_split(), holding:
- mmap lock (exclusively)
- VMA lock
- file rmap lock (exclusively)
2. hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds(), which I think is designed to be able to
call us with only the mmap lock held (in shared mode), but currently
only runs while holding mmap lock (exclusively) and VMA lock
Backporting note:
This commit fixes a racy protection that was introduced in commit
b30c14cd6102 ("hugetlb: unshare some PMDs when splitting VMAs"); that
commit claimed to fix an issue introduced in 5.13, but it should actually
also go all the way back.
