Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Switch to the generic C VDSO, as well as some cleanups of our VDSO
   setup/handling code.

 - Support for KUAP (Kernel User Access Prevention) on systems using the
   hashed page table MMU, using memory protection keys.

 - Better handling of PowerVM SMT8 systems where all threads of a core
   do not share an L2, allowing the scheduler to make better scheduling
   decisions.

 - Further improvements to our machine check handling.

 - Show registers when unwinding interrupt frames during stack traces.

 - Improvements to our pseries (PowerVM) partition migration code.

 - Several series from Christophe refactoring and cleaning up various
   parts of the 32-bit code.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

The creation path of the NBD device respects max_part and only scans for
partitions if max_part is not 0. However, some other code paths ignore
max_part, and unconditionally scan for partitions. Add a check for
max_part on each partition scan.

<content type='text'>
Previously the rnbd client requested the rtrs to allocate rnbd_iu
just after the rtrs_iu. So the rnbd client passes the size of
rnbd_iu for rtrs_clt_open() and rtrs creates an array of
rnbd_iu and rtrs_iu.

For IO handling, rnbd_iu exists after the request because we pass
the size of rnbd_iu when setting the tag-set. Therefore we do not
use the rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs for IO handling.
We only use the rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs when doing session
initialization. Almost all rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs are wasted.

By this patch the rnbd client does not request rnbd_iu allocation
to rtrs but allocate it for itself when doing session initialization.

Also remove unused rtrs_permit_to_pdu from rtrs.

<title>block/rnbd-clt: Dynamically allocate sglist for rnbd_iu</title>

<content type='text'>
The BMAX_SEGMENT static array for scatterlist is embedded in
rnbd_iu structure to avoid memory allocation in hot IO path.
In many cases, we do need only several sg entries because many IOs
have only several segments.

This patch change rnbd_iu to check the number of segments in the request
and allocate sglist dynamically.

For io path, use sg_alloc_table_chained to allocate sg list faster.

First it makes two sg entries after pdu of request.
The sg_alloc_table_chained uses the pre-allocated sg entries
if the number of segments of the request is less than two.
So it reduces the number of memory allocation.

The rnbd-client always sets the write-back cache and fua attributes
of the rnbd device queue regardless of the target device on the server.
That generates IO hang issue when the target device does not
support both of write-back cacne and fua.

This patch adds more fields for the cache policy and fua into the
device opening message. The rnbd-server sends the information
if the target device supports the write-back cache and fua
and rnbd-client recevives it and set the device queue accordingly.

Since the removal of the session sysfs can also be called from the
function destroy_sess, there is a need to protect the call from the
function rnbd_srv_sess_dev_force_close

Fixes: 786998050cbc ("block/rnbd-srv: close a mapped device from server side.")
