mt76 dma layer is supposed to unmap skb data buffers while keep txwi
mapped on hw dma ring. At the moment mt76 wrongly unmap txwi or does
not unmap data fragments in even positions for non-linear skbs. This
issue may result in hw hangs with A-MSDU if the system relies on IOMMU
or SWIOTLB. Fix this behaviour properly unmapping data fragments on
non-linear skbs.

On same device (e.g. U7612E-H1) PCIE_ASPM causes continuous mcu hangs and
instability. Since mt76x2 series does not manage PCIE PS states, first we
try to disable ASPM using pci_disable_link_state. If it fails, we will
disable PCIE PS configuring PCI registers.

In commit 8020919a9b ("mac80211: Properly handle SKB with radiotap

executed. This change exposed a fault in rtlwifi drivers, which is fixed
by regarding packets with skb->len <= FCS_LEN as though they are in error
and dropping them. The test is now annotated as likely.

In iwl_pcie_ctxt_info_gen3_init there are cases that the allocated dma
memory is leaked in case of error.
DMA memories prph_scratch, prph_info, and ctxt_info_gen3 are allocated
and initialized to be later assigned to trans_pcie. But in any error case
before such assignment the allocated memories should be released.
First of such error cases happens when iwl_pcie_init_fw_sec fails.
Current implementation correctly releases prph_scratch. But in two
sunsequent error cases where dma_alloc_coherent may fail, such
releases are missing.
This commit adds release for prph_scratch when allocation for
prph_info fails, and adds releases for prph_scratch and prph_info when
allocation for ctxt_info_gen3 fails.

We got a crash in iwl_trans_pcie_get_cmdlen(), while the TFD was
being accessed to sum up the lengths.
We want to access the TFD here, which is the information for the
hardware. We always only allocate 32 buffers for the cmd queue,
but on newer hardware (using TFH) we can also allocate only a
shorter hardware array, also only 32 TFDs. Prior to the TFH, we
had to allocate a bigger TFD array but would make those point to
a smaller set of buffers.
Additionally, now max_tfd_queue_size is up to 65536, so we can
access *way* out of bounds of a really only 32-entry array, so
it crashes.
Fix this by making the TFD index depend on which hardware we are
using right now.
While changing the calculation, also fix it to not use void ptr
arithmetic, but cast to u8 * before.

Consider the following flow:
1. Driver starts to sync the rx queues due to a delba.
mvm->queue_sync_cookie=1.
This rx-queues-sync is synchronous, so it doesn't increment the
cookie until all rx queues handle the notification from FW.
2. During this time, driver starts to sync rx queues due to nssn sync
required.
The cookie's value is still 1, but it doesn't matter since this
rx-queue-sync is non-synchronous so in the notification handler the
cookie is ignored.
What _does_ matter is that this flow increments the cookie to 2
immediately.
Remember though that the FW won't start servicing this command until
it's done with the previous one.
3. FW is still handling the first command, so it sends a notification
with internal_notif->sync=1, and internal_notif->cookie=0, which
triggers a WARN_ONCE.
The solution for this race is to only use the mvm->queue_sync_cookie in
case of a synchronous sync-rx-queues. This way in step 2 the cookie's
value won't change so we avoid the WARN.
The commit in the "fixes" field is the first commit to introduce
non-synchronous sending of this command to FW.

Merge active entropy generation updates.
This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.
While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.
The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.
We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.
As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.
* getrandom() active entropy waiting:
Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug""
random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it
This reverts commit 72dbcf7215.
Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
reverted.
So revert the revert.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
numbers when it really didn't need to.
See commit 72dbcf7215 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").
This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
most other modern CPU's too.
What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
timer.
I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not
because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.
Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.
As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further
by actually having a fairly complex interaction.
This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And
by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
the possibly unbounded waiting).

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
"We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
platforms.
With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
available.
This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
hugepage allocations.
The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
available because the increased access latency is untenable.
The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.
Andrea had this note:
"The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
__GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.
As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree. He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):
- "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
and compaction wasn't successful.
- "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
local node.
but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
Fingers crossed.
