<title>virtio_console: remove pointless check for debugfs_create_dir()</title>

It is impossible for debugfs_create_dir() to return NULL, so checking
for it gives people a false sense that they actually are doing something
if an error occurs.  As there is no need to ever change kernel logic if
debugfs is working "properly" or not, there is no need to check the
return value of debugfs calls, so remove the checks here as they will
never be triggered and are wrong.

<title>virtio: virtio_console: fix DMA memory allocation for rproc serial</title>

<id>9d516aa82b7d4fbe7f6303348697960ba03a530b</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 086d08725d34 ("remoteproc: create vdev subdevice with
specific dma memory pool"), every remoteproc has a DMA subdevice
("remoteprocX#vdevYbuffer") for each virtio device, which inherits
DMA capabilities from the corresponding platform device. This allowed
to associate different DMA pools with each vdev, and required from
virtio drivers to perform DMA operations with the parent device
(vdev-&gt;dev.parent) instead of grandparent (vdev-&gt;dev.parent-&gt;parent).

virtio_rpmsg_bus was already changed in the same merge cycle with
commit d999b622fcfb ("rpmsg: virtio: allocate buffer from parent"),
but virtio_console did not. In fact, operations using the grandparent
worked fine while the grandparent was the platform device, but since
commit c774ad010873 ("remoteproc: Fix and restore the parenting
hierarchy for vdev") this was changed, and now the grandparent device
is the remoteproc device without any DMA capabilities.
So, starting v5.8-rc1 the following warning is observed:

[    2.483925] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    2.489148] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 101 at kernel/dma/mapping.c:427 0x80e7eee8

kernel/dma/mapping.c:427 is:

WARN_ON_ONCE(!dev-&gt;coherent_dma_mask);

obviously because the grandparent now is remoteproc dev without any
DMA caps:

[    3.104943] Parent: remoteproc0#vdev1buffer, grandparent: remoteproc0

Fix this the same way as it was for virtio_rpmsg_bus, using just the
parent device (vdev-&gt;dev.parent, "remoteprocX#vdevYbuffer") for DMA
operations.
This also allows now to reserve DMA pools/buffers for rproc serial
via Device Tree.

rproc_serial_id_table lacks an exposure to module devicetable, so
when remoteproc firmware requests VIRTIO_ID_RPROC_SERIAL, no uevent
is generated and no module autoloading occurs.
Add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() annotation and move the existing
one for VIRTIO_ID_CONSOLE right to the table itself.

<title>char: virtio: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
 "This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
  notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
  changes:

   - It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
     this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:

   - Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
     woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
     spinlock.

   - Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
     head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
     means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
     two.

   - A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
     the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
     indices.

   - The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
     many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
     allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
     pipe.

   - Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
     and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll

Pull pipe rework from David Howells:
 "This is my set of preparatory patches for building a general
  notification queue on top of pipes. It makes a number of significant
  changes:

   - It removes the nr_exclusive argument from __wake_up_sync_key() as
     this is always 1. This prepares for the next step:

   - Adds wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() so that poll can be
     woken up from a function that's holding the poll waitqueue
     spinlock.

   - Change the pipe buffer ring to be managed in terms of unbounded
     head and tail indices rather than bounded index and length. This
     means that reading the pipe only needs to modify one index, not
     two.

   - A selection of helper functions are provided to query the state of
     the pipe buffer, plus a couple to apply updates to the pipe
     indices.

   - The pipe ring is allowed to have kernel-reserved slots. This allows
     many notification messages to be spliced in by the kernel without
     allowing userspace to pin too many pages if it writes to the same
     pipe.

   - Advance the head and tail indices inside the pipe waitqueue lock
     and use wake_up_interruptible_sync_poll_locked() to poke poll
     without having to take the lock twice.

   - Rearrange pipe_write() to preallocate the buffer it is going to
     write into and then drop the spinlock. This allows kernel
     notifications to then be added the ring whilst it is filling the
     buffer it allocated. The read side is stalled because the pipe
     mutex is still held.

   - Don't wake up readers on a pipe if there was already data in it
     when we added more.

   - Don't wake up writers on a pipe if the ring wasn't full before we
     removed a buffer"

<title>virtio_console: allocate inbufs in add_port() only if it is needed</title>

When we hot unplug a virtserialport and then try to hot plug again,
it fails:

(qemu) chardev-add socket,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial0,server,nowait
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
(qemu) device_del serial0
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
kernel error:
  virtio-ports vport2p2: Error allocating inbufs
qemu error:
  virtio-serial-bus: Guest failure in adding port 2 for device \
                     virtio-serial0.0

This happens because buffers for the in_vq are allocated when the port is
added but are not released when the port is unplugged.

They are only released when virtconsole is removed (see a7a69ec0d8e4)

To avoid the problem and to be symmetric, we could allocate all the buffers
in init_vqs() as they are released in remove_vqs(), but it sounds like
a waste of memory.

Rather than that, this patch changes add_port() logic to ignore ENOSPC
error in fill_queue(), which means queue has already been filled.
