commit a4f2387db6f1cc2f03abba7f3a6807ad61e26ff7 upstream.

ntb_process_tx() handles an oversized buffer by calling tx_handler()
with a NULL data pointer and returning success. ntb_netdev therefore
neither frees the skb in its completion callback nor takes its enqueue
error path, leaking it.

Reject oversized buffers in ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() before acquiring
a queue entry and return -EMSGSIZE. The caller retains ownership of the
buffer, and the preceding netdev patch frees the skb when enqueue
returns this permanent error.

commit 873ce713fef5dde0939220f04f3484ec86a16fba upstream.

Commit f195a1a6fe41 ("ntb: Drop packets when qp link is down") meant to
make ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() drop packets submitted while the QP link
is down, but it only returns 0 without consuming the packet. Zero means
success by this function's contract, so ntb_netdev reports NETDEV_TX_OK
and forgets the skb: nothing queued it, nothing frees it, and it leaks,
one skb for every transmit racing a link-down.

Return -ENOLINK instead, restoring the contract that a non-zero return
leaves the buffer owned by the caller. With the preceding patch,
ntb_netdev frees the skb on non-retryable enqueue failures and returns
NETDEV_TX_OK, so a packet racing with link-down is dropped without leaking
or entering a busy retry loop.

commit 256496397287334a19ed80ec7be92bffcae76b9d upstream.

ntb_tx_copy_callback() invokes the client callback before returning the
entry to tx_free_q. The callback may wake a stopped client queue, only
for the next enqueue to find no local entry and return -EBUSY. The window
is narrow, but the retry is unnecessary.

Save the callback data and length, then return the entry to tx_free_q
before invoking the client. A completion callback then means both the
client buffer and transport entry are ready for reuse.

[ Upstream commit 4fdea8dbb62d746429498e07385a3ba0b0f6d1ab ]

The EPF driver currently stores the incoming doorbell as a vector number
(irq_no + 1) in db_val and db_clear() clears all bits unconditionally.
This breaks db_read()/db_clear() semantics when multiple doorbells are
used.

Store doorbells as a bitmask (BIT_ULL(vector)) and make
db_clear(db_bits) clear only the specified bits. Use atomic64 operations
as db_val is updated from interrupt context.

Once db_val is stored as a bitmask, the ISR's doorbell vector is used
not only for ntb_db_event(), but also as the bit index for BIT_ULL().
The existing ISR derives that vector by subtracting pci_irq_vector(pdev,
0) from the Linux IRQ number passed to the handler, but Linux IRQ
numbers are not guaranteed to be contiguous.

Pass per-vector context as request_irq() dev_id instead, so the ISR gets
the device vector directly.

Validate the doorbell vector before updating db_val or calling
ntb_db_event(), so an unexpected vector cannot create an invalid shift
or be reported to NTB clients.

While at it, read and validate mw_count before requesting interrupt
vectors. An unsupported memory-window count does not need IRQs, and
failing before ntb_epf_init_isr() keeps the probe error path simple.

[ Upstream commit 3147f0964cecca15e349cbfbdd6a28eb6d50379d ]

ntb_db_event() expects the vector number to be relative to the first
doorbell vector starting at 0.

Vector 0 is reserved for link events in the EPF driver, so doorbells
start at vector 1. However, both supported peers (ntb_hw_epf with
pci-epf-ntb, and pci-epf-vntb) have historically skipped vector 1 and
started doorbells at vector 2.

Pass (irq_no - 2) to ntb_db_event() so doorbells are reported as 0..N-1.
If irq_no == 1 is ever observed, warn and ignore it, since the slot is
reserved in the legacy layout and reporting it as DB#0 would collide with
the real DB#0 slot.

commit fcba26efe5efc7441f5505f4ccc69791214b40be upstream.

ntb_epf_init_isr() requests multiple MSI/MSI-X vectors in a loop. If
request_irq() fails part-way through, it jumps straight to
pci_free_irq_vectors() without freeing already requested IRQs.

Fix the error path by freeing any successfully requested IRQs before
releasing the vectors.

commit 4dcddc1c794d1c65eda68f1f8dd04a0fecc0870f upstream.

ntb_epf_vec_isr() calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context to derive
the vector number. pci_irq_vector() calls msi_get_virq() that takes a
mutex and can therefore trigger "scheduling while atomic" splats:

  BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u33:0/55/0x00010001

  Call trace:

   ...

Cache the Linux IRQ number for vector 0 when vectors are allocated and
use it as a base in the ISR. Running the ISR in a threaded IRQ handler
would also avoid the problem, but that would be unnecessary here.

commit d876153680e3d721d385e554def919bce3d18c74 upstream.

When BAR_PEER_SPAD and BAR_CONFIG share one PCI BAR, the module teardown
path ends up calling pci_iounmap() on the same iomem with some offset,
which is unnecessary and triggers a kernel warning like the following:

  Trying to vunmap() nonexistent vm area (0000000069a5ffe8)

Fix it by unmapping only when PEER_SPAD and CONFIG use difference bars.
