Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The following commit:
d64934019f6c ("x86/efi: Use efi_exit_boot_services()")
introduced a regression on systems with large memory maps causing them
to hang on boot. The first "goto get_map" that was removed from
exit_boot() ensured there was enough room for the memory map when
efi_call_early(exit_boot_services) was called. This happens when
(nr_desc > ARRAY_SIZE(params->e820_table).
Chain of events:
exit_boot()
efi_exit_boot_services()
efi_get_memory_map <- at this point the mm can't grow over 8 desc
priv_func()
exit_boot_func()
allocate_e820ext() <- new mm grows over 8 desc from e820 alloc
efi_call_early(exit_boot_services) <- mm key doesn't match so retry
efi_call_early(get_memory_map) <- not enough room for new mm
system hangs
This patch allocates the e820 buffer before calling efi_exit_boot_services()
and fixes the regression.

Mapping the MEMRESERVE EFI configuration table from an early initcall
is too late: the GICv3 ITS code that creates persistent reservations
for the boot CPU's LPI tables is invoked from init_IRQ(), which runs
much earlier than the handling of the initcalls. This results in a
WARN() splat because the LPI tables cannot be reserved persistently,
which will result in silent memory corruption after a kexec reboot.
So instead, invoke the initialization performed by the initcall from
efi_mem_reserve_persistent() itself as well, but keep the initcall so
that the init is guaranteed to have been called before SMP boot.

Pull dma-mapping fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
"Two dma-direct / swiotlb regressions fixes:

it as the error value

is)"

Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:

flexfiles: use per-mirror specified stateid for IO
NFSv4.2 copy do not allocate memory under the lock
NFSv4: Fix a NFSv4 state manager deadlock
If swiotlb_bounce_page() failed, calling arch_sync_dma_for_device() may
lead to such delights as performing cache maintenance on whatever
address phys_to_virt(SWIOTLB_MAP_ERROR) looks like, which is typically
outside the kernel memory map and goes about as well as expected.
Don't do that.

rfc8435 says:
For tight coupling, ffds_stateid provides the stateid to be used by
the client to access the file.
However current implementation replaces per-mirror provided stateid with
by open or lock stateid.
Ensure that per-mirror stateid is used by ff_layout_write_prepare_v4 and
nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds.

With the overflow buffer removed, we no longer have a unique address
which is guaranteed not to be a valid DMA target to use as an error
token. The DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR value of 0 tries to at least represent
an unlikely DMA target, but unfortunately there are already SWIOTLB
users with DMA-able memory at physical address 0 which now gets falsely
treated as a mapping failure and leads to all manner of misbehaviour.
The best we can do to mitigate that is flip DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR to the
other commonly-used error value of all-bits-set, since the last single
byte of memory is by far the least-likely-valid DMA target.

Pull XArray updates from Matthew Wilcox:
"We found some bugs in the DAX conversion to XArray (and one bug which
predated the XArray conversion). There were a couple of bugs in some
of the higher-level functions, which aren't actually being called in
today's kernel, but surfaced as a result of converting existing radix
tree & IDR users over to the XArray.
Some of the other changes to how the higher-level APIs work were also
motivated by converting various users; again, they're not in use in
today's kernel, so changing them has a low probability of introducing
a bug.
Dan can still trigger a bug in the DAX code with hot-offline/online,
and we're working on tracking that down"

Bruce pointed out that we shouldn't allocate memory while holding
a lock in the nfs4_callback_offload() and handle_async_copy()
that deal with a racing CB_OFFLOAD and reply to COPY case.

Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:
"A few MIPS fixes for 4.20:
- Re-enable the Cavium Octeon USB driver in its defconfig after it
was accidentally removed back in 4.14.
- Have early memblock allocations be performed bottom-up to more
closely match the behaviour we used to have with bootmem, which
seems a safer choice since we've seen fallout from the change made
in the 4.20 merge window.
- Simplify max_low_pfn calculation in the NUMA code for the Loongson3
and SGI IP27 platforms to both clean up the code & ensure
max_low_pfn has been set appropriately before it is used"
