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.

"Improve the detection when to run atomic transfer handlers for kernels
with preemption disabled. This removes some false positive splats a

atomic transfers.

Since commit aa49c90894d0 ("i2c: core: Run atomic i2c xfer when
!preemptible"), the whole reboot/power off sequence on non-preempt kernels
is using atomic i2c xfer, as !preemptible() always results to 1.
During device_shutdown(), the i2c might be used a lot and not all busses
have implemented an atomic xfer handler. This results in a lot of
avoidable noise, like:
[ 12.687169] No atomic I2C transfer handler for 'i2c-0'
[ 12.692313] WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 275 at drivers/i2c/i2c-core.h:40 i2c_smbus_xfer+0x100/0x118
...
Fix this by allowing non-atomic xfer when the interrupts are enabled, as
it was before.

Pull firewire fix from Takashi Sakamoto:
"A single patch to suppress unexpected system reboot in AMD Ryzen
machines with PCIe card consisting of Asmedia ASM1083/1085 and
VT6306/6307/6308.
When the 1394 OHCI driver for the card accesses a specific register
in PCI memory space, the system reboot often occurs.
The issue affects all versions of Linux kernel as long as the 1394
OHCI driver is included. The mechanism of unexpected system reboot is
not clear, so the driver is changed to avoid the access itself when
detecting the combination of hardware"

It's not safe to call nfsd_put once nfsd_last_thread has been called, as
that function will zero out the nn->nfsd_serv pointer.
Drop the nfsd_put helper altogether and open-code the svc_put in its
callers instead. That allows us to not be reliant on the value of that
pointer when handling an error.

VIA VT6306/6307/6308 provides PCI interface compliant to 1394 OHCI. When
the hardware is combined with Asmedia ASM1083/1085 PCIe-to-PCI bus bridge,
it appears that accesses to its 'Isochronous Cycle Timer' register (offset
0xf0 on PCI memory space) often causes unexpected system reboot in any
type of AMD Ryzen machine (both 0x17 and 0x19 families). It does not
appears in the other type of machine (AMD pre-Ryzen machine, Intel
machine, at least), or in the other OHCI 1394 hardware (e.g. Texas
Instruments).
The issue explicitly appears at a commit dcadfd7f7c74 ("firewire: core:
use union for callback of transaction completion") added to v6.5 kernel.
It changed 1394 OHCI driver to access to the register every time to
dispatch local asynchronous transaction. However, the issue exists in
older version of kernel as long as it runs in AMD Ryzen machine, since
the access to the register is required to maintain bus time. It is not
hard to imagine that users experience the unexpected system reboot when
generating bus reset by plugging any devices in, or reading the register
by time-aware application programs; e.g. audio sample processing.
This commit suppresses the unexpected system reboot in the combination of
hardware. It avoids the access itself. As a result, the software stack can
not provide the hardware time anymore to unit drivers, userspace
applications, and nodes in the same IEEE 1394 bus. It brings apparent
disadvantage since time-aware application programs require it, while
time-unaware applications are available again; e.g. sbp2.

Fix this by reverting now. At a later point this minor optimization,
and the deceptive labeling of the sp_id field, can be revisited.
