commit 0beb2012a1722633515c8aaa263c73449636c893 upstream.

Holding the reconfig_mutex over a potential userspace fault sets up a
lockdep dependency chain between filesystem-DAX and the libnvdimm ioctl
path. Move the user access outside of the lock.

commit 86ef58a4e35e8fa66afb5898cf6dec6a3bb29f67 upstream.

The interleave-set cookie is a sum that sanity checks the composition of
an interleave set has not changed from when the namespace was initially
created.  The checksum is calculated by sorting the DIMMs by their
location in the interleave-set. The comparison for the sort must be
64-bit wide, not byte-by-byte as performed by memcmp() in the broken
case.

Fix the implementation to accept correct cookie values in addition to
the Linux "memcmp" order cookies, but only allow correct cookies to be
generated going forward. It does mean that namespaces created by
third-party-tooling, or created by newer kernels with this fix, will not
validate on older kernels. However, there are a couple mitigating
conditions:

    1/ platforms with namespace-label capable NVDIMMs are not widely
       available.

    2/ interleave-sets with a single-dimm are by definition not affected
       (nothing to sort). This covers the QEMU-KVM NVDIMM emulation case.

The cookie stored in the namespace label will be fixed by any write the
namespace label, the most straightforward way to achieve this is to
write to the "alt_name" attribute of a namespace in sysfs.

commit e5670563f588ed1c0603819350c0f02cec23f5c5 upstream.

If we detect a namespace has a stale info block in the init path, we
should overwrite with the latest configuration.  In fact, we already
return -ENODEV when the parent uuid is invalid, the same should be done
for the 'self' uuid.  Otherwise we can get into a condition where
userspace is unable to reconfigure the pfn-device without directly /
manually invalidating the info block.

Code attempts to prevent certain IOCTL DSM from being called
when device is opened read only.  This security feature can
be trivially overcome by changing the size portion of the
ioctl_command which isn't used.

Check only the _IOC_NR (i.e. the command).

commit e07ecd76d4db7bda1e9495395b2110a3fe28845a upstream.

When btt devices were re-worked to be child devices of regions this
routine was overlooked.  It mistakenly attempts to_nd_namespace_pmem()
or to_nd_namespace_blk() conversions on btt and pfn devices.  By luck to
date we have happened to be hitting valid memory leading to a uuid
miscompare, but a recent change to struct nd_namespace_common causes:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000001

This masking prevents access to the end of the device via dax_do_io(),
and is unnecessary as arch_add_memory() would have rejected an unaligned
allocation.

Rather than punt on the numa node for these e820 ranges try to find a
better answer with memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() when it is available.

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

* 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  direct-io: be sure to assign dio-&gt;bio_bdev for both paths
  directio: add block polling support
  NVMe: add blk polling support
  block: add block polling support
  blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers
  block: change -&gt;make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
  notable for what it does not contain, than what it does.  There were a
  handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
  fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
  for 4.5.

  The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
  -next for several weeks.  The hot-add support has not, but is
  contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests.  The coredump
  support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff.  All of it has
  received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
     updates of the NFIT at runtime.

   - Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.

   - Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and
     as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by
     default"
