Since commit 152a6a8 , the semantic of the INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE flag has changed, in the sense that buffers are hard/soft hybrid buffers. Since commit 2d6ca60 , the INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE flag has been re-purposed for DMA buffers. This driver has lagged behind these changes, and in order for buffers to work, the INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE needs to be used. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Ardelean <alexandru.ardelean@analog.com>

commit 2975d5d upstream. Garbage supplied by user will cause to UCMA module provide zero memory size for memcpy(), because it wasn't checked, it will produce unpredictable results in rdma_resolve_addr().

gpiochip_set_cascaded_irqchip() is passed 'parent_irq' as an argument and then the address of that argument is assigned to the gpio chips gpio_irq_chip 'parents' pointer shortly thereafter. This can't ever work, because we've just assigned some stack address to a pointer that we plan to dereference later in gpiochip_irq_map(). I ran into this issue with the KASAN report below when gpiochip_irq_map() tried to setup the parent irq with a total junk pointer for the 'parents' array.

[ Upstream commit eedf3e3 ] ACPICA commit 1c28da2242783579d59767617121035dafba18c3 This was originally done in NetBSD: NetBSD/src@b69d1ac and is the correct alternative to the smattering of `memcpy`s I previously contributed to this repository. This also sidesteps the newly strict checks added in UBSAN: llvm/llvm-project@7926744 Before this change we see the following UBSAN stack trace in Fuchsia: #0 0x000021afcfdeca5e in

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2. As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would like to remove it. To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section. While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb and dax folios can. So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing. Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty. Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it might be dropped. We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages". If we only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page(). Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span memory sections). So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page(). Patch #1 -> #5 : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups Patch #6 -> #13 : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages Patch #14 -> #20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios Patch #22 : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages Patch #23 -> #33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry Patch #34 : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() Patch #35 : remove nth_page() in kfence Patch #36 : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page Patch #37 : mm: remove nth_page() A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason and me, so cudos to them. This patch (of 37): In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is considered too costly and consequently not supported. However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for arm64, s390 and x86. So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc. All architectures only enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary). This is a preparation for not supporting (1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section (2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page allocations suddenly fails).

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2. As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would like to remove it. To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section. While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb and dax folios can. So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing. Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty. Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it might be dropped. We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages". If we only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page(). Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span memory sections). So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page(). Patch #1 -> #5 : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups Patch #6 -> #13 : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages Patch #14 -> #20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios Patch #22 : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages Patch #23 -> #33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry Patch #34 : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() Patch #35 : remove nth_page() in kfence Patch #36 : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page Patch #37 : mm: remove nth_page() A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason and me, so cudos to them. This patch (of 37): In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is considered too costly and consequently not supported. However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for arm64, s390 and x86. So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc. All architectures only enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary). This is a preparation for not supporting (1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section (2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page allocations suddenly fails).

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2. As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would like to remove it. To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section. While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb and dax folios can. So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing. Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty. Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it might be dropped. We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages". If we only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page(). Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span memory sections). So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page(). Patch #1 -> #5 : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups Patch #6 -> #13 : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages Patch #14 -> #20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios Patch #22 : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages Patch #23 -> #33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry Patch #34 : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() Patch #35 : remove nth_page() in kfence Patch #36 : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page Patch #37 : mm: remove nth_page() A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason and me, so cudos to them. This patch (of 37): In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is considered too costly and consequently not supported. However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for arm64, s390 and x86.

Patch series "mm: remove nth_page()", v2. As discussed recently with Linus, nth_page() is just nasty and we would like to remove it. To recap, the reason we currently need nth_page() within a folio is because on some kernel configs (SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP), the memmap is allocated per memory section. While buddy allocations cannot cross memory section boundaries, hugetlb and dax folios can. So crossing a memory section means that "page++" could do the wrong thing. Instead, nth_page() on these problematic configs always goes from page->pfn, to the go from (++pfn)->page, which is rather nasty. Likely, many people have no idea when nth_page() is required and when it might be dropped. We refer to such problematic PFN ranges and "non-contiguous pages". If we only deal with "contiguous pages", there is not need for nth_page(). Besides that "obvious" folio case, we might end up using nth_page() within CMA allocations (again, could span memory sections), and in one corner case (kfence) when processing memblock allocations (again, could span memory sections). So let's handle all that, add sanity checks, and remove nth_page(). Patch #1 -> #5 : stop making SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP user-selectable + cleanups Patch #6 -> #13 : disallow folios to have non-contiguous pages Patch #14 -> #20 : remove nth_page() usage within folios Patch #22 : disallow CMA allocations of non-contiguous pages Patch #23 -> #33 : sanity+check + remove nth_page() usage within SG entry Patch #34 : sanity-check + remove nth_page() usage in unpin_user_page_range_dirty_lock() Patch #35 : remove nth_page() in kfence Patch #36 : adjust stale comment regarding nth_page Patch #37 : mm: remove nth_page() A lot of this is inspired from the discussion at [1] between Linus, Jason and me, so cudos to them. This patch (of 37): In an ideal world, we wouldn't have to deal with SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, but in particular for 32bit SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is considered too costly and consequently not supported. However, if an architecture does support SPARSEMEM with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, let's forbid the user to disable VMEMMAP: just like we already do for arm64, s390 and x86. So if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is supported, don't allow to use SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. This implies that the option to not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP will now be gone for loongarch, powerpc, riscv and sparc. All architectures only enable SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP with 64bit support, so there should not really be a big downside to using the VMEMMAP (quite the contrary). This is a preparation for not supporting (1) folio sizes that exceed a single memory section (2) CMA allocations of non-contiguous page ranges in SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP configs, whereby we want to limit possible impact as much as possible (e.g., gigantic hugetlb page allocations suddenly fails).

When simulating an nvme device on qemu with both logical_block_size and physical_block_size set to 8 KiB, an error trace appears during partition table reading at boot time. The issue is caused by inode->i_blkbits being larger than PAGE_SHIFT, which leads to a left shift of -1 and triggering a UBSAN warning.

Since commit 152a6a8 ,
the semantic of the INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE flag has changed,
in the sense that buffers are hard/soft hybrid
buffers.
Since commit 2d6ca60 ,
the INDIO_BUFFER_HARDWARE flag has been re-purposed for
DMA buffers.
This driver has lagged behind these changes, and
in order for buffers to work, the INDIO_BUFFER_SOFTWARE
needs to be used.
