Subject: rtlwifi: rtl8723be: Fix loss of signal
From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger(a)lwfinger.net>
commit 78dc897b7ee67205423dbbc6b56be49fb18d15b5 upstream.
In commit c713fb071edc ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem
correctly") a problem in rtl8821ae that caused loss of signal was fixed.
That same problem has now been reported for rtl8723be. Accordingly,
the ASPM L1 latency has been increased from 0 to 7 to fix the instability.

If the server is malicious then *bytes_read could be larger than the

Section was not properly computed. The value of OOB region definition is
always ECC section 0 information in the OOB area, but we want to get all
the ECC bytes information, so we should call
mtd_ooblayout_ecc(mtd, section++, &oobregion) until it returns -ERANGE.

commit 843c3a59997f18060848b8632607dd04781b52d1 upstream.
Number of ECC status registers i.e. (ECCSTATx) has been increased in IFC
version 2.0.0 due to increase in SRAM size. This is causing eccstat
array to over flow.
So, replace eccstat array with u32 variable to make it fail-safe and
independent of number of ECC status registers or SRAM size.

Subject: mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page table
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani(a)hpe.com>
commit b6bdb7517c3d3f41f20e5c2948d6bc3f8897394e upstream.
On architectures with CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP set, ioremap() may
create pud/pmd mappings. A kernel panic was observed on arm64 systems
with Cortex-A75 in the following steps as described by Hanjun Guo.
1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
then set the a new value for pmd;
4. pte0 is leaked;
5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
which will lead to kernel panic.
This panic is not reproducible on x86. INVLPG, called from iounmap,
purges all levels of entries associated with purged address on x86. x86
still has memory leak.
The patch changes the ioremap path to free unmapped page table(s) since
doing so in the unmap path has the following issues:
- The iounmap() path is shared with vunmap(). Since vmap() only
supports pte mappings, making vunmap() to free a pte page is an
overhead for regular vmap users as they do not need a pte page freed
up.
- Checking if all entries in a pte page are cleared in the unmap path
is racy, and serializing this check is expensive.
- The unmap path calls free_vmap_area_noflush() to do lazy TLB purges.
Clearing a pud/pmd entry before the lazy TLB purges needs extra TLB
purge.
Add two interfaces, pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page(), which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up a page for the lower level
entries.
This patch implements their stub functions on x86 and arm64, which work
as workaround.

Subject: mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()
From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov(a)linux.intel.com>
commit fa41b900c30b45fab03783724932dc30cd46a6be upstream.
deferred_split_scan() gets called from reclaim path. Waiting for page
lock may lead to deadlock there.
Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it. We will get to the page on the next scan.

Subject: mm/shmem: do not wait for lock_page() in shmem_unused_huge_shrink()
From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov(a)linux.intel.com>
commit b3cd54b257ad95d344d121dc563d943ca39b0921 upstream.
shmem_unused_huge_shrink() gets called from reclaim path. Waiting for
page lock may lead to deadlock there.
There was a bug report that may be attributed to this:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LRH.2.11.1801242349220.30642@mail.ewheeler.…
Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed
to lock it. We will get to the page on the next scan.
We can test for the PageTransHuge() outside the page lock as we only
need protection against splitting the page under us. Holding pin oni
the page is enough for this.

Subject: mm/khugepaged.c: convert VM_BUG_ON() to collapse fail
From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov(a)linux.intel.com>
commit fece2029a9e65b9a990831afe2a2b83290cbbe26 upstream.
khugepaged is not yet able to convert PTE-mapped huge pages back to PMD
mapped. We do not collapse such pages. See check
khugepaged_scan_pmd().
But if between khugepaged_scan_pmd() and __collapse_huge_page_isolate()
somebody managed to instantiate THP in the range and then split the PMD
back to PTEs we would have a problem --
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound(page)) will get triggered.
It's possible since we drop mmap_sem during collapse to re-take for
write.
Replace the VM_BUG_ON() with graceful collapse fail.
