<id>7c9ff3deeee61b253715dcf968a6307af148c9b2</id>
<content type='text'>
The vmbus module uses a rotational algorithm to assign target CPUs to
a device's channels. Depending on the timing of different device's channel
offers, different channels of a device may be assigned to the same CPU.

For example on a VM with 2 CPUs, if NIC A and B's channels are offered
in the following order, NIC A will have both channels on CPU0, and
NIC B will have both channels on CPU1 -- see below. This kind of
assignment causes RSS load that is spreading across different channels
to end up on the same CPU.

Timing of channel offers:
NIC A channel 0
NIC B channel 0
NIC A channel 1
NIC B channel 1

VMBUS ID 14: Class_ID = {f8615163-df3e-46c5-913f-f2d2f965ed0e} - Synthetic network adapter
        Device_ID = {cab064cd-1f31-47d5-a8b4-9d57e320cccd}
        Sysfs path: /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/cab064cd-1f31-47d5-a8b4-9d57e320cccd
        Rel_ID=14, target_cpu=0
        Rel_ID=17, target_cpu=0

VMBUS ID 16: Class_ID = {f8615163-df3e-46c5-913f-f2d2f965ed0e} - Synthetic network adapter
        Device_ID = {244225ca-743e-4020-a17d-d7baa13d6cea}
        Sysfs path: /sys/bus/vmbus/devices/244225ca-743e-4020-a17d-d7baa13d6cea
        Rel_ID=16, target_cpu=1
        Rel_ID=18, target_cpu=1

Update the vmbus CPU assignment algorithm to avoid duplicate CPU
assignments within a device.

The new algorithm iterates num_online_cpus + 1 times.
The existing rotational algorithm to find "next NUMA &amp; CPU" is still here.
But if the resulting CPU is already used by the same device, it will try
the next CPU.
In the last iteration, it assigns the channel to the next available CPU
like the existing algorithm. This is not normally expected, because
during device probe, we limit the number of channels of a device to
be &lt;= number of online CPUs.

<title>kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers</title>

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

<id>a4d7e8ae4a541557d7a2c815835b786c18c3613c</id>
<content type='text'>
The extended capability query code is currently under arch/x86, but it
is architecture neutral, and is used by arch neutral code in the Hyper-V
balloon driver. Hence the balloon driver fails to build on other
architectures.

Fix by moving the ext cap code out from arch/x86.  Because it is also
called from built-in architecture specific code, it can't be in a module,
so the Makefile treats as built-in even when CONFIG_HYPERV is "m".  Also
drivers/Makefile is tweaked because this is the first occurrence of a
Hyper-V file that is built-in even when CONFIG_HYPERV is "m".

While here, update the hypercall status check to use the new helper
function instead of open coding. No functional change.

Use blk_mq_unique_tag() to generate requestIDs for StorVSC, avoiding
all issues with allocating enough entries in the VMbus requestor.

<title>Drivers: hv: vmbus: Copy packets sent by Hyper-V out of the ring buffer</title>

Pointers to ring-buffer packets sent by Hyper-V are used within the
guest VM. Hyper-V can send packets with erroneous values or modify
packet fields after they are processed by the guest. To defend
against these scenarios, return a copy of the incoming VMBus packet
after validating its length and offset fields in hv_pkt_iter_first().
In this way, the packet can no longer be modified by the host.

<title>hv_balloon: Remove redundant assignment to region_start</title>

Variable region_start is set to pg_start but this value is never
read as it is overwritten later on, hence it is a redundant
assignment and can be removed.

Cleans up the following clang-analyzer warning:

drivers/hv/hv_balloon.c:1013:3: warning: Value stored to 'region_start'
is never read [clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores].
