[PATCH] uapi: bitops: use UAPI-safe variant of BITS_PER_LONG again

by Thomas Weißschuh

Commit 1e7933a575ed ("uapi: Revert "bitops: avoid integer overflow in GENMASK(_ULL)"") did not take in account that the usage of BITS_PER_LONG in __GENMASK() was changed to __BITS_PER_LONG for UAPI-safety in commit 3c7a8e190bc5 ("uapi: introduce uapi-friendly macros for GENMASK"). BITS_PER_LONG can not be used in UAPI headers as it derives from the kernel configuration and not from the current compiler invocation. When building compat userspace code or a compat vDSO its value will be incorrect. Switch back to __BITS_PER_LONG.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 1/9] cifs: Correctly set SMB1 SessionKey field in Session Setup Request

by Sasha Levin

From: Pali Rohár <pali(a)kernel.org> [ Upstream commit 89381c72d52094988e11d23ef24a00066a0fa458 ] [MS-CIFS] specification in section 2.2.4.53.1 where is described SMB_COM_SESSION_SETUP_ANDX Request, for SessionKey field says: The client MUST set this field to be equal to the SessionKey field in the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE Response for this SMB connection. Linux SMB client currently set this field to zero. This is working fine against Windows NT SMB servers thanks to [MS-CIFS] product behavior <94>: Windows NT Server ignores the client's SessionKey. For compatibility with [MS-CIFS], set this SessionKey field in Session Setup Request to value retrieved from Negotiate response. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali(a)kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench(a)microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Based on my comprehensive analysis of both the commit message and code changes, examining the current kernel tree context: **YES** ## Extensive Analysis ### **Nature of the Fix** This is a **specification compliance fix** for SMB1 protocol handling. The commit addresses a clear violation of the MS-CIFS specification section 2.2.4.53.1, which mandates that the SessionKey field in SMB_COM_SESSION_SETUP_ANDX Request must be set to the value from the SMB_COM_NEGOTIATE Response. ### **Code Changes Analysis** **1. Structural Changes (Low Risk)** - **cifsglob.h**: Adds `__le32 session_key_id` to `TCP_Server_Info` structure - minimal ABI impact as this is kernel-internal - **cifspdu.h**: Corrects endianness annotations from `__u32` to `__le32` - pure annotation fix, no behavioral change **2. Functional Changes (Contained and Safe)** - **cifssmb.c**: Captures SessionKey from negotiate response (`server->session_key_id = pSMBr->SessionKey`) - simple field assignment - **sess.c**: Sets SessionKey in session setup request (`pSMB->req.SessionKey = server->session_key_id`) - follows specification requirement ### **Risk Assessment** **Minimal Regression Risk:** - Changes are isolated to SMB1 legacy protocol code - Current behavior (setting SessionKey to zero) works with Windows NT due to MS- CIFS product behavior <94> - New behavior follows specification exactly, improving compatibility with non-Windows SMB1 servers - No security implications - purely a protocol compliance improvement **Code Maturity:** - SMB1 session setup code is very mature and stable - Limited recent changes in this area except compatibility fixes - Well- understood code path with clear specification backing ### **Backport Suitability Criteria Met** **1. Important Bug Fix:** ✅ Fixes protocol specification violation that could cause compatibility issues with strict SMB1 implementations **2. Small and Contained:** ✅ Four minimal changes across related files, all implementing the same specification requirement **3. Clear Side Effects:** ✅ No side effects beyond fixing the specification compliance issue **4. No Architectural Changes:** ✅ Simple field additions and assignments, no structural changes **5. Non- Critical Subsystem:** ✅ Legacy SMB1 protocol code, deprecated since 2017 **6. Minimal Risk:** ✅ Maintains backward compatibility while improving forward compatibility **7. Stable Tree Rules Compliance:** ✅ Important compatibility bugfix with minimal regression risk ### **Comparison to Similar Commits** This commit closely matches the pattern of **Similar Commit #3** and **Similar Commit #5** (both marked YES for backporting): - Protocol compliance improvements - Session setup related fixes - Clear specification backing - Minimal, contained changes - Authored by maintainers (Steve French involvement) ### **Conclusion** This commit represents an ideal stable backport candidate: a clear specification compliance fix with minimal code changes, no security implications, and improvement in interoperability. The fix ensures Linux kernel SMB client properly follows MS-CIFS specification, which is valuable for enterprise environments using diverse SMB1 server implementations. fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h | 1 + fs/smb/client/cifspdu.h | 6 +++--- fs/smb/client/cifssmb.c | 1 + fs/smb/client/sess.c | 1 + 4 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h b/fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h index 17fce0afb297f..9c5aa646b8cc8 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h +++ b/fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h @@ -675,6 +675,7 @@ struct TCP_Server_Info { char workstation_RFC1001_name[RFC1001_NAME_LEN_WITH_NULL]; __u32 sequence_number; /* for signing, protected by srv_mutex */ __u32 reconnect_instance; /* incremented on each reconnect */ + __le32 session_key_id; /* retrieved from negotiate response and send in session setup request */ struct session_key session_key; unsigned long lstrp; /* when we got last response from this server */ struct cifs_secmech secmech; /* crypto sec mech functs, descriptors */ diff --git a/fs/smb/client/cifspdu.h b/fs/smb/client/cifspdu.h index 9cb4577063344..a682c50d7ace4 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/cifspdu.h +++ b/fs/smb/client/cifspdu.h @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ typedef union smb_com_session_setup_andx { __le16 MaxBufferSize; __le16 MaxMpxCount; __le16 VcNumber; - __u32 SessionKey; + __le32 SessionKey; __le16 SecurityBlobLength; __u32 Reserved; __le32 Capabilities; /* see below */ @@ -576,7 +576,7 @@ typedef union smb_com_session_setup_andx { __le16 MaxBufferSize; __le16 MaxMpxCount; __le16 VcNumber; - __u32 SessionKey; + __le32 SessionKey; __le16 CaseInsensitivePasswordLength; /* ASCII password len */ __le16 CaseSensitivePasswordLength; /* Unicode password length*/ __u32 Reserved; /* see below */ @@ -614,7 +614,7 @@ typedef union smb_com_session_setup_andx { __le16 MaxBufferSize; __le16 MaxMpxCount; __le16 VcNumber; - __u32 SessionKey; + __le32 SessionKey; __le16 PasswordLength; __u32 Reserved; /* encrypt key len and offset */ __le16 ByteCount; diff --git a/fs/smb/client/cifssmb.c b/fs/smb/client/cifssmb.c index 6077fe1dcc9ce..0c6ade1968947 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/cifssmb.c +++ b/fs/smb/client/cifssmb.c @@ -469,6 +469,7 @@ CIFSSMBNegotiate(const unsigned int xid, server->max_rw = le32_to_cpu(pSMBr->MaxRawSize); cifs_dbg(NOISY, "Max buf = %d\n", ses->server->maxBuf); server->capabilities = le32_to_cpu(pSMBr->Capabilities); + server->session_key_id = pSMBr->SessionKey; server->timeAdj = (int)(__s16)le16_to_cpu(pSMBr->ServerTimeZone); server->timeAdj *= 60; diff --git a/fs/smb/client/sess.c b/fs/smb/client/sess.c index c8f7ae0a20064..883d1cb1fc8b0 100644 --- a/fs/smb/client/sess.c +++ b/fs/smb/client/sess.c @@ -605,6 +605,7 @@ static __u32 cifs_ssetup_hdr(struct cifs_ses *ses, USHRT_MAX)); pSMB->req.MaxMpxCount = cpu_to_le16(server->maxReq); pSMB->req.VcNumber = cpu_to_le16(1); + pSMB->req.SessionKey = server->session_key_id; /* Now no need to set SMBFLG_CASELESS or obsolete CANONICAL PATH */ -- 2.39.5

[PATCH] x86/fpu: Ensure XFD state on signal delivery

by Chang S. Bae

Sean reported [1] the following splat when running KVM tests: WARNING: CPU: 232 PID: 15391 at xfd_validate_state+0x65/0x70 Call Trace: <TASK> fpu__clear_user_states+0x9c/0x100 arch_do_signal_or_restart+0x142/0x210 exit_to_user_mode_loop+0x55/0x100 do_syscall_64+0x205/0x2c0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 Chao further identified [2] a reproducible scenarios involving signal delivery: a non-AMX task is preempted by an AMX-enabled task which modifies the XFD MSR. When the non-AMX task resumes and reloads XSTATE with init values, a warning is triggered due to a mismatch between fpstate::xfd and the CPU's current XFD state. fpu__clear_user_states() does not currently re-synchronize the XFD state after such preemption. Invoke xfd_update_state() which detects and corrects the mismatch if the dynamic feature is enabled. This also benefits the sigreturn path, as fpu__restore_sig() may call fpu__clear_user_states() when the sigframe is inaccessible.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 1/3] ALSA: hda: Ignore unsol events for cards being shut down

by Sasha Levin

From: Cezary Rojewski <cezary.rojewski(a)intel.com> [ Upstream commit 3f100f524e75586537e337b34d18c8d604b398e7 ] For the classic snd_hda_intel driver, codec->card and bus->card point to the exact same thing. When snd_card_diconnect() fires, bus->shutdown is set thanks to azx_dev_disconnect(). card->shutdown is already set when that happens but both provide basically the same functionality. For the DSP snd_soc_avs driver where multiple codecs are located on multiple cards, bus->shutdown 'shortcut' is not sufficient.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 1/8] riscv: add a data fence for CMODX in the kernel mode

by Sasha Levin

From: Andy Chiu <andybnac(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit ca358692de41b273468e625f96926fa53e13bd8c ] RISC-V spec explicitly calls out that a local fence.i is not enough for the code modification to be visble from a remote hart. In fact, it states: To make a store to instruction memory visible to all RISC-V harts, the writing hart also has to execute a data FENCE before requesting that all remote RISC-V harts execute a FENCE.I. Although current riscv drivers for IPI use ordered MMIO when sending IPIs in order to synchronize the action between previous csd writes, riscv does not restrict itself to any particular flavor of IPI. Any driver or firmware implementation that does not order data writes before the IPI may pose a risk for code-modifying race. Thus, add a fence here to order data writes before making the IPI. Signed-off-by: Andy Chiu <andybnac(a)gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn(a)rivosinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250407180838.42877-8-andybnac@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti(a)rivosinc.com> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer(a)dabbelt.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Based on my analysis of the commit and the RISC-V kernel codebase, here is my assessment: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Code Analysis The commit adds a critical memory fence (`RISCV_FENCE(w, o)`) before sending IPIs in the `flush_icache_all()` function in `arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c`. Specifically, it: 1. **Adds a data fence before IPI**: The `RISCV_FENCE(w, o)` instruction ensures that all previous memory writes (w) are ordered before device output operations (o), which includes MMIO writes for sending IPIs. 2. **Addresses RISC-V specification requirement**: The commit message explicitly references the RISC-V Platform Specification Section 2.1, which requires a data FENCE before requesting remote FENCE.I operations to ensure code modifications are visible across harts (hardware threads). 3. **Fixes a potential race condition**: Without this fence, there's a risk that code modifications made by one hart might not be visible to other harts when they receive the IPI to flush their instruction caches. ## Why This Should Be Backported ### 1. **Critical Correctness Issue** This fixes a fundamental correctness issue in code modification (CMODX) operations on RISC-V multiprocessor systems.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.14 01/11] riscv: add a data fence for CMODX in the kernel mode

by Sasha Levin

From: Andy Chiu <andybnac(a)gmail.com> [ Upstream commit ca358692de41b273468e625f96926fa53e13bd8c ] RISC-V spec explicitly calls out that a local fence.i is not enough for the code modification to be visble from a remote hart. In fact, it states: To make a store to instruction memory visible to all RISC-V harts, the writing hart also has to execute a data FENCE before requesting that all remote RISC-V harts execute a FENCE.I. Although current riscv drivers for IPI use ordered MMIO when sending IPIs in order to synchronize the action between previous csd writes, riscv does not restrict itself to any particular flavor of IPI. Any driver or firmware implementation that does not order data writes before the IPI may pose a risk for code-modifying race. Thus, add a fence here to order data writes before making the IPI.

[PATCH v3 01/11] platform/x86/intel: refactor endpoint usage

by Michael J. Ruhl

The use of an endpoint has introduced a dependency in all class/pmt drivers to have an endpoint allocated. The telemetry driver has this allocation, the crashlog does not.

[PATCH v6 0/2] x86/fred: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler

by Xin Li (Intel)

IDT event delivery has a debug hole in which it does not generate #DB upon returning to userspace before the first userspace instruction is executed if the Trap Flag (TF) is set. FRED closes this hole by introducing a software event flag, i.e., bit 17 of the augmented SS: if the bit is set and ERETU would result in RFLAGS.TF = 1, a single-step trap will be pending upon completion of ERETU. However I overlooked properly setting and clearing the bit in different situations. Thus when FRED is enabled, if the Trap Flag (TF) is set without an external debugger attached, it can lead to an infinite loop in the SIGTRAP handler. To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when ERETU completes. This patch set combines the fix [1] and its corresponding selftest [2] (requested by Dave Hansen) into one patch set.

[tip: x86/urgent] x86/fred/signal: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler

by tip-bot2 for Xin Li (Intel)

The following commit has been merged into the x86/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: e34dbbc85d64af59176fe59fad7b4122f4330fe2 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/e34dbbc85d64af59176fe59fad7b4122f4330fe2 Author: Xin Li (Intel) <xin(a)zytor.com> AuthorDate: Mon, 09 Jun 2025 01:40:53 -07:00 Committer: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen(a)linux.intel.com> CommitterDate: Mon, 09 Jun 2025 08:50:58 -07:00 x86/fred/signal: Prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler Clear the software event flag in the augmented SS to prevent immediate repeat of single step trap on return from SIGTRAP handler if the trap flag (TF) is set without an external debugger attached. Following is a typical single-stepping flow for a user process: 1) The user process is prepared for single-stepping by setting RFLAGS.TF = 1. 2) When any instruction in user space completes, a #DB is triggered. 3) The kernel handles the #DB and returns to user space, invoking the SIGTRAP handler with RFLAGS.TF = 0. 4) After the SIGTRAP handler finishes, the user process performs a sigreturn syscall, restoring the original state, including RFLAGS.TF = 1. 5) Goto step 2. According to the FRED specification: A) Bit 17 in the augmented SS is designated as the software event flag, which is set to 1 for FRED event delivery of SYSCALL, SYSENTER, or INT n. B) If bit 17 of the augmented SS is 1 and ERETU would result in RFLAGS.TF = 1, a single-step trap will be pending upon completion of ERETU. In step 4) above, the software event flag is set upon the sigreturn syscall, and its corresponding ERETU would restore RFLAGS.TF = 1. This combination causes a pending single-step trap upon completion of ERETU. Therefore, another #DB is triggered before any user space instruction is executed, which leads to an infinite loop in which the SIGTRAP handler keeps being invoked on the same user space IP.

To avoid this, the software event flag in the augmented SS must be cleared, ensuring that no single-step trap remains pending when ERETU completes. This test checks for that specific scenario—verifying whether the kernel correctly prevents an infinite SIGTRAP loop in this edge case when FRED is enabled. The test should _always_ pass with IDT event delivery, thus no need to disable the test even when FRED is not enabled.

[PATCH v2] mmc: core: sd: Apply BROKEN_SD_DISCARD quirk earlier

by Avri Altman

Move the BROKEN_SD_DISCARD quirk for certain SanDisk SD cards from the `mmc_blk_fixups[]` to `mmc_sd_fixups[]`. This ensures the quirk is applied earlier in the device initialization process, aligning with the reasoning in [1]. Applying the quirk sooner prevents the kernel from incorrectly enabling discard support on affected cards during initial setup.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 1/7] md/md-bitmap: fix dm-raid max_write_behind setting

by Sasha Levin

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3(a)huawei.com> [ Upstream commit 2afe17794cfed5f80295b1b9facd66e6f65e5002 ] It's supposed to be COUNTER_MAX / 2, not COUNTER_MAX. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/20250524061320.370630-14-yukuai1@huaweic… Signed-off-by: Yu Kuai <yukuai3(a)huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch(a)lst.de> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare(a)suse.de> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Now I have a clear understanding. Let me analyze the specific code change in the commit: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis: ## Analysis of the Bug Fix ### 1. The Bug The code in `md_bitmap_new_disk_sb()` incorrectly validates `write_behind` against `COUNTER_MAX` instead of `COUNTER_MAX / 2`: ```c - if (write_behind > COUNTER_MAX) + if (write_behind > COUNTER_MAX / 2) write_behind = COUNTER_MAX / 2; ``` ### 2. Why This is a Real Bug The comment immediately above this code explicitly states: ```c /* - FIXME: write_behind for RAID1. If not specified, what - is a good choice? We choose COUNTER_MAX / 2 arbitrarily. */ ``` The intent is clearly to limit write_behind to `COUNTER_MAX / 2`, but the validation check was incorrectly comparing against `COUNTER_MAX`. This creates an inconsistency where: - Values between `COUNTER_MAX / 2` and `COUNTER_MAX` would pass the check - But then get clamped to `COUNTER_MAX / 2` anyway - This means the validation isn't serving its intended purpose ### 3. Impact on Users This bug affects: - **dm-raid users**: When creating new bitmap superblocks for RAID arrays with write-behind configured - **Data consistency**: While not causing data corruption, it creates confusion about the actual limits - **Configuration validation**: Users might set values that appear to be accepted but are silently reduced ### 4. Consistency with Other Code The fix aligns with the pattern used elsewhere: - In `dm-raid.c`: The validation correctly checks `value / 2 > COUNTER_MAX` (equivalent check for sector-based values) - The clamping value of `COUNTER_MAX / 2` is consistently used as the default throughout the codebase ### 5. Backport Criteria This commit meets the stable kernel backport criteria: - **It fixes a bug**: Incorrect validation logic that doesn't match the intended behavior - **Simple and contained**: One-line change with minimal risk - **Clear fix**: The correct value is obvious from the surrounding code and comment - **User-visible impact**: Affects configuration validation for dm-raid users ### 6. Similar Historical Commits Looking at the similar commits provided: - Commit #1 (backported): Added validation to prevent setting max_write_behind without write-mostly devices - Commit #4 (backported): Fixed missing bitmap updates with write-mostly devices Both of these were backported and dealt with correctness issues in the write-behind functionality, establishing a pattern that such fixes are considered stable-worthy. ### 7. Risk Assessment - **Low risk**: Single character change ('/' to '/ 2') - **Well-understood**: The correct limit is documented in the comment - **No ABI changes**: Just tightens an existing validation check - **Fail-safe**: Makes the validation more restrictive, not less ## Conclusion This is a clear bug fix that corrects an incorrect validation check to match the documented and intended behavior. The fix is trivial, safe, and addresses a real issue that affects dm-raid users. It should be backported to ensure consistent behavior across stable kernel versions. drivers/md/md-bitmap.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c index 8fc85b6251e48..feff5b29d0985 100644 --- a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c +++ b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c @@ -549,7 +549,7 @@ static int md_bitmap_new_disk_sb(struct bitmap *bitmap) * is a good choice?

It should be backported to ensure consistent behavior across stable kernel versions. drivers/md/md-bitmap.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c index 8317e07b326d0..21decb97bc050 100644 --- a/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c +++ b/drivers/md/md-bitmap.c @@ -589,7 +589,7 @@ static int md_bitmap_new_disk_sb(struct bitmap *bitmap) * is a good choice?

[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 01/23] nvme-tcp: fix I/O stalls on congested sockets

by Sasha Levin

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare(a)kernel.org> [ Upstream commit f42d4796ee100fade86086d1cf98537fb4d326c8 ] When the socket is busy processing nvme_tcp_try_recv() might return -EAGAIN, but this doesn't automatically imply that the sending side is blocked, too. So check if there are pending requests once nvme_tcp_try_recv() returns -EAGAIN and continue with the sending loop to avoid I/O stalls. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare(a)kernel.org> Acked-by: Chris Leech <cleech(a)redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagi(a)grimberg.me> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch(a)lst.de> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal(a)kernel.org> --- Based on my analysis of the commit and comparison with similar commits, here is my determination: **YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the following reasons: 1. **Fixes a real user-impacting bug**: The commit addresses I/O stalls on congested sockets, which is a serious issue that can cause system hangs or severe performance degradation. When the socket is congested and `nvme_tcp_try_recv()` returns -EAGAIN, the current code incorrectly assumes that the sending side is also blocked, leading to I/O stalls. 2. **Small and contained fix**: The changes are minimal and localized to the `nvme_tcp_io_work()` function: - Changes `nvme_tcp_try_recv()` to return 0 instead of -EAGAIN to prevent premature exit - Adds a check after receive processing to see if the socket became writable - Only 5 lines of actual code changes 3. **Clear logic fix**: The patch addresses a specific logic error where: - The receive side returns -EAGAIN (socket would block on receive) - But this doesn't mean the send side is also blocked - The fix checks if there are pending requests and if the socket is writable after receive processing 4. **Similar to other backported fixes**: Looking at the historical commits: - Commit #2 (backported): Fixed hangs waiting for icresp response - Commit #3 (backported): Fixed wrong stop condition in io_work - Commit #4 (backported): Fixed UAF when detecting digest errors - Commit #5 (backported): Fixed possible null deref on timed out connections All these commits that were backported involved fixing hangs, stalls, or error conditions in the nvme-tcp driver. 5. **No architectural changes**: The commit doesn't introduce new features or change the architecture. It simply adds a missing check to prevent I/O stalls, which aligns with stable kernel criteria. 6. **Critical subsystem**: NVMe-TCP is used for storage access, and I/O stalls can have severe consequences for system stability and data integrity. The specific code changes show: - `return consumed == -EAGAIN ? 0 : consumed;` - prevents treating EAGAIN as an error - The new check `if (nvme_tcp_queue_has_pending(queue) && sk_stream_is_writeable(queue->sock->sk))` ensures that if there are pending requests and the socket is writable after receive processing, we continue processing instead of stalling. This is exactly the type of bug fix that should be backported to stable kernels to ensure reliable storage operation. drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c b/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c index 4cc72be28c731..13ede6e309092 100644 --- a/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c +++ b/drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c @@ -1349,7 +1349,7 @@ static int nvme_tcp_try_recv(struct nvme_tcp_queue *queue) queue->nr_cqe = 0; consumed = sock->ops->read_sock(sk, &rd_desc, nvme_tcp_recv_skb); release_sock(sk); - return consumed; + return consumed == -EAGAIN ? 0 : consumed; } static void nvme_tcp_io_work(struct work_struct *w) @@ -1377,6 +1377,11 @@ static void nvme_tcp_io_work(struct work_struct *w) else if (unlikely(result < 0)) return; + /* did we get some space after spending time in recv? */ + if (nvme_tcp_queue_has_pending(queue) && + sk_stream_is_writeable(queue->sock->sk)) + pending = true; + if (!pending || !queue->rd_enabled) return; -- 2.39.5
