pstore: Shut down worker when unregistering

commit 6330d5534786d5315d56d558aa6d20740f97d80a upstream.

When built as a module and running with update_ms >= 0, pstore will Oops
during module unload since the work timer is still running. This makes sure
the worker is stopped before unloading.

pstore: Fix flags to enable dumps on powerpc

commit 041939c1ec54208b42f5cd819209173d52a29d34 upstream.

After commit c950fd6f201a kernel registers pstore write based on flag set.
Pstore write for powerpc is broken as flags(PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG) is not set for
powerpc architecture. On panic, kernel doesn't write message to
/fs/pstore/dmesg*(Entry doesn't gets created at all).

This patch enables pstore write for powerpc architecture by setting
PSTORE_FLAGS_DMESG flag.

libnvdimm, pfn: fix 'npfns' vs section alignment

commit d5483feda85a8f39ee2e940e279547c686aac30c upstream.

Fix failures to create namespaces due to the vmem_altmap not advertising
enough free space to store the memmap.

In commit 658922e57b84 "libnvdimm, pfn: fix memmap reservation sizing"
we arranged for the capacity to be allocated, but failed to also update
the 'npfns' parameter. This leads to cases where there is enough
capacity reserved to hold all the allocated sections, but
vmemmap_populate_hugepages() still encounters -ENOMEM from
altmap_alloc_block_buf().

This fix is a stop-gap until we can teach the core memory hotplug
implementation to permit sub-section hotplug.

libnvdimm: fix nvdimm_bus_lock() vs device_lock() ordering

commit 452bae0aede774f87bf56c28b6dd50b72c78986c upstream.

A debug patch to turn the standard device_lock() into something that
lockdep can analyze yielded the following:

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 4.11.0-rc4+ #106 Tainted: G O
 -------------------------------------------------------
 lt-libndctl/1898 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc023c948>] nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffc022e0b1>] nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 -> #1 (&nvdimm_bus->reconfig_mutex){+.+.+.}:
        lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
        __mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
        mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
        nvdimm_bus_lock+0x21/0x30 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_capacity+0x1b/0x40 [libnvdimm]
        nvdimm_namespace_common_probe+0x230/0x510 [libnvdimm]
        nd_pmem_probe+0x14/0x180 [nd_pmem]
        nvdimm_bus_probe+0xa9/0x260 [libnvdimm]

 -> #0 (&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3){+.+.+.}:
        __lock_acquire+0x1107/0x1280
        lock_acquire+0xf6/0x1f0
        __mutex_lock+0x88/0x980
        mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20
        nd_attach_ndns+0x178/0x1b0 [libnvdimm]
        nd_namespace_store+0x308/0x3c0 [libnvdimm]
        namespace_store+0x87/0x220 [libnvdimm]

In this case '&dev->nvdimm_mutex/3' mirrors '&dev->mutex'.

Fix this by replacing the use of device_lock() with nvdimm_bus_lock() to protect
nd_{attach,detach}_ndns() operations.

libnvdimm, pmem: fix a NULL pointer BUG in nd_pmem_notify

commit b2518c78ce76896f0f8f7940bf02104b227e1709 upstream.

The following BUG was observed when nd_pmem_notify() was called
for a BTT device. The use of a pmem_device pointer is not valid
with BTT.

properly for BTT.

libnvdimm, region: fix flush hint detection crash

ndrd->flush_wpq array may be uninitialized leading to crashes with the
following signature:

ipmi: Fix kernel panic at ipmi_ssif_thread()

commit 6de65fcfdb51835789b245203d1bfc8d14cb1e06 upstream.

msg_written_handler() may set ssif_info->multi_data to NULL
when using ipmitool to write fru.

Before setting ssif_info->multi_data to NULL, add new local
pointer "data_to_send" and store correct i2c data pointer to
it to fix NULL pointer kernel panic and incorrect ssif_info->multi_pos.
