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.

Pull dma-mapping fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
"Two dma-direct / swiotlb regressions fixes:
- zero is a valid physical address on some arm boards, we can't use
it as the error value
- don't try to cache flush the error return value (no matter what it
is)"
* tag 'dma-mapping-4.20-3' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping:
swiotlb: Skip cache maintenance on map error
dma-direct: Make DIRECT_MAPPING_ERROR viable for SWIOTLB
Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:
- Fix a NFSv4 state manager deadlock when returning a delegation
- NFSv4.2 copy do not allocate memory under the lock
- flexfiles: Use the correct stateid for IO in the tightly coupled case
* tag 'nfs-for-4.20-4' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/linux-nfs:
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"
* tag 'xarray-4.20-rc4' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax:
XArray tests: Add missing locking
dax: Avoid losing wakeup in dax_lock_mapping_entry

dax: Fix dax_unlock_mapping_entry for PMD pages
dax: Reinstate RCU protection of inode

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"

Fix a deadlock whereby the NFSv4 state manager can get stuck in the
delegation return code, waiting for a layout return to complete in
another thread. If the server reboots before that other thread
completes, then we need to be able to start a second state
manager thread in order to perform recovery.

Both the Loongson3 & SGI-IP27 platforms set max_low_pfn to the last
available PFN describing memory. They both do it in paging_init() which
is later than ideal since max_low_pfn is used before that function is
called. Simplify both platforms to trivially initialize max_low_pfn
using the end address of DRAM, and do it earlier in prom_meminit().
