wifi: rtw89: retry efuse physical map dump on transient failure
On Radxa Rock 5B with a RTL8852BE combo WiFi/BT card, the efuse

The failure occurs in rtw89_dump_physical_efuse_map_ddv() where
read_poll_timeout_atomic() times out waiting for the B_AX_EF_RDY

The root cause is a timing race during boot: the WiFi driver's

Bluetooth firmware download to the same combo chip via USB. This
can leave the efuse controller temporarily unavailable when the
WiFi driver attempts to read the efuse map.

wifi: rtw88: TX QOS Null data the same way as Null data
When filling out the TX descriptor, Null data frames are treated like
management frames, but QOS Null data frames are treated like normal
data frames. Somehow this causes a problem for the firmware.
When connected to a network in the 2.4 GHz band, wpa_supplicant (or
NetworkManager?) triggers a scan every five minutes. During these scans
mac80211 transmits many QOS Null frames in quick succession. Because
these frames are marked with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS, rtw88
asks the firmware to report the TX ACK status for each of these frames.
Sometimes the firmware can't process the TX status requests quickly
enough, they add up, it only processes some of them, and then marks
every subsequent TX status report with the wrong number.
The symptom is that after a while the warning "failed to get tx report
from firmware" appears every five minutes.
This problem apparently happens only with the older RTL8723D, RTL8821A,
RTL8812A, and probably RTL8703B chips.
Treat QOS Null data frames the same way as Null data frames. This seems
to avoid the problem.

svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chain
Previously, Write chunk RDMA Writes were posted via a separate
ib_post_send() call with their own completion handler. Each Write
chunk incurred a doorbell and generated a completion event.
Link Write chunk WRs onto the RPC Reply's Send WR chain so that a
single ib_post_send() call posts both the RDMA Writes and the Send
WR. A single completion event signals that all operations have
finished. This reduces both doorbell rate and completion rate, as
well as eliminating the latency of a round-trip between the Write
chunk completion and the subsequent Send WR posting.
The lifecycle of Write chunk resources changes: previously, the
svc_rdma_write_done() completion handler released Write chunk
resources when RDMA Writes completed. With WR chaining, resources
remain live until the Send completion. A new sc_write_info_list
tracks Write chunk metadata attached to each Send context, and
svc_rdma_write_chunk_release() frees these resources when the
Send context is released.
The svc_rdma_write_done() handler now handles only error cases.
On success it returns immediately since the Send completion handles
resource release. On failure (WR flush), it closes the connection
to signal to the client that the RPC Reply is incomplete.

svcrdma: Add fair queuing for Send Queue access
When the Send Queue fills, multiple threads may wait for SQ slots.
The previous implementation had no ordering guarantee, allowing
starvation when one thread repeatedly acquires slots while others
wait indefinitely.
Introduce a ticket-based fair queuing system. Each waiter takes a
ticket number and is served in FIFO order. This ensures forward
progress for all waiters when SQ capacity is constrained.
The implementation has two phases:
1. Fast path: attempt to reserve SQ slots without waiting
2. Slow path: take a ticket, wait for turn, then wait for slots
The ticket system adds two atomic counters to the transport:
- sc_sq_ticket_head: next ticket to issue
- sc_sq_ticket_tail: ticket currently being served
A dedicated wait queue (sc_sq_ticket_wait) handles ticket
ordering, separate from sc_send_wait which handles SQ capacity.
This separation ensures that send completions (the high-frequency
wake source) wake only the current ticket holder rather than all
queued waiters. Ticket handoff wakes only the ticket wait queue,
and each ticket holder that exits via connection close propagates
the wake to the next waiter in line.
When a waiter successfully reserves slots, it advances the tail
counter and wakes the next waiter. This creates an orderly handoff
that prevents starvation while maintaining good throughput on the
fast path when contention is low.

SUNRPC: Allocate a separate Reply page array
struct svc_rqst uses a single dynamically-allocated page array
(rq_pages) for both the incoming RPC Call message and the outgoing
RPC Reply message. rq_respages is a sliding pointer into rq_pages
that each transport receive path must compute based on how many
pages the Call consumed. This boundary tracking is a source of
confusion and bugs, and prevents an RPC transaction from having
both a large Call and a large Reply simultaneously.
Allocate rq_respages as its own page array, eliminating the boundary
arithmetic. This decouples Call and Reply buffer lifetimes,
following the precedent set by rq_bvec (a separate dynamically-
allocated array for I/O vectors).
Each svc_rqst now pins twice as many pages as before. For a server
running 16 threads with a 1MB maximum payload, the additional cost
is roughly 16MB of pinned memory. The new dynamic svc thread count
facility keeps this overhead minimal on an idle server. A subsequent
patch in this series limits per-request repopulation to only the
pages released during the previous RPC, avoiding a full-array scan
on each call to svc_alloc_arg().
Note: We've considered several alternatives to maintaining a full
second array. Each alternative reintroduces either boundary logic
complexity or I/O-path allocation pressure.
rq_next_page is initialized in svc_alloc_arg() and svc_process()

Filehandles that have been signed cannot be tampered with, nor can
clients reasonably guess correct filehandles and hashes that may exist in
parts of the filesystem they cannot access due to directory permissions.
Append the 8 byte SipHash to encoded filehandles for exports that have set
the "sign_fh" export option. Filehandles received from clients are
verified by comparing the appended hash to the expected hash. If the MAC
does not match the server responds with NFS error _STALE. If unsigned
filehandles are received for an export with "sign_fh" they are rejected

In order to generate source code to encode and decode NLMv4 protocol
elements, include a copy of the RPC language description of NLMv4

RFC 1813 and the Open Group's XNFS specification:
The C code committed here was generated from the new nlm4.x file
using tools/net/sunrpc/xdrgen/xdrgen.
The goals of replacing hand-written XDR functions with ones that
are tool-generated are to improve memory safety and make XDR
encoding and decoding less brittle to maintain.
The xdrgen utility derives both the type definitions and the
encode/decode functions directly from protocol specifications,
using names and symbols familiar to anyone who knows those specs.
Unlike hand-written code that can inadvertently diverge from the
specification, xdrgen guarantees that the generated code matches

lockd: Relocate svc_version definitions to XDR layer
Public RPC server interfaces become cluttered when internal
XDR implementation details leak into them. The procedure count,
maximum XDR buffer size, and per-CPU call counters serve no
purpose outside the code that encodes and decodes NLM protocol
messages. Exposing these values through global headers creates
unnecessary coupling between the RPC dispatch logic and the
XDR layer.
Relocating the svc_version structure definitions confines this
implementation information to the files where XDR encoding and
decoding occur. In svc.c, the buffer size computation now reads
vs_xdrsize from the version structures rather than relying on a
preprocessor constant. This calculation occurs at service
initialization, after the linker has resolved the version
structure definitions. The dispatch function becomes non-static
because both the version structures and the dispatcher reside in
different translation units.
The NLMSVC_XDRSIZE macro is removed from xdr.h because buffer
size is now computed from the union of XDR argument and result
structures, matching the pattern used in other RPC services.
Version 1 and 3 share the same procedure table but maintain
separate counter arrays. Version 4 remains separate due to its
distinct procedure definitions.

NFSD: Track SCSI Persistent Registration Fencing per Client with xarray
When a client holding pNFS SCSI layouts becomes unresponsive, the
server revokes access by preempting the client's SCSI persistent
reservation key. A layout recall is issued for each layout the
client holds; if the client fails to respond, each recall triggers
a fence operation. The first preempt for a given device succeeds
and removes the client's key registration. Subsequent preempts for
the same device fail because the key is no longer registered.
Update the NFS server to handle SCSI persistent registration
fencing on a per-client and per-device basis by utilizing an
xarray associated with the nfs4_client structure.
Each xarray entry is indexed by the dev_t of a block device
registered by the client. The entry maintains a flag indicating
whether this device has already been fenced for the corresponding
client.
When the server issues a persistent registration key to a client,
it creates a new xarray entry at the dev_t index with the fenced
flag initialized to 0.
Before performing a fence via nfsd4_scsi_fence_client, the server
checks the corresponding entry using the device's dev_t. If the
fenced flag is already set, the fence operation is skipped;
otherwise, the flag is set to 1 and fencing proceeds.

kbuild: rust: provide an option to inline C helpers into Rust
A new experimental Kconfig option, `RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is added to
allow C helpers (which were created to allow Rust to call into
inline/macro C functions without having to re-implement the logic in
Rust) to be inlined into Rust crates without performing global LTO.
If the option is enabled, the following is performed:
* For helpers, instead of compiling them to an object file to be linked
into vmlinux, they're compiled to LLVM IR bitcode. Two versions are
generated: one for built-in code (`helpers.bc`) and one for modules
(`helpers_module.bc`, with -DMODULE defined). This ensures that C
macros/inlines that behave differently for modules (e.g. static calls)
function correctly when inlined.
* When a Rust crate or object is compiled, instead of generating an
object file, LLVM bitcode is generated.
* llvm-link is invoked with --internalize to combine the helper bitcode
with the crate bitcode. This step is similar to LTO, but this is much
faster since it only needs to inline the helpers.
* clang is invoked to turn the combined bitcode into a final object file.
* Since clang may produce LLVM bitcode when LTO is enabled, and objtool
requires ELF input, $(cmd_ld_single) is invoked to ensure the object
is converted to ELF before objtool runs.
The --internalize flag tells llvm-link to treat all symbols in
helpers.bc using `internal` linkage [1]. This matches the behavior of
`clang` on `static inline` functions, and avoids exporting the symbol
from the object file.
To ensure that RUST_INLINE_HELPERS is not incompatible with BTF, we pass
the -g0 flag when building helpers. See commit 5daa0c35a1f0 ("rust:
Disallow BTF generation with Rust + LTO") for details.
We have an intended triple mismatch of `aarch64-unknown-none` vs
`aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`, so we pass --suppress-warnings to llvm-link
to suppress it.
I considered adding some sort of check that KBUILD_MODNAME is not
present in helpers_module.bc, but this is actually not so easy to carry
out because .bc files store strings in a weird binary format, so you
cannot just grep it for a string to check whether it ended up using
KBUILD_MODNAME anywhere.

rust: helpers: #define __rust_helper
Because of LLVM inling checks, it's generally not possible to inline a C
helper into Rust code, even with LTO:
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions compiled with
`-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks` with code compiled without. The C
CGUs all have this enabled and Rust CGUs don't. Inlining is okay since
this is one of the hardening features that does not change the ABI,
and we shouldn't have null pointer dereferences in these helpers.
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions with different list of builtins. C
side has `-fno-builtin-wcslen`; `wcslen` is not a Rust builtin, so
they should be compatible, but LLVM does not perform inlining due to
attributes mismatch.
* clang and Rust doesn't have the exact target string. Clang generates
`+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` but Rust doesn't enable them (in fact, Rust will
complain if `-Ctarget-feature=+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` is used). x86-64
always enable these features, so they are in fact the same target
string, but LLVM doesn't understand this and so inlining is inhibited.
This can be bypassed with `--ignore-tti-inline-compatible`, but this
is a hidden option.
To fix this, we can add __always_inline on every helper, which skips
these LLVM inlining checks. For this purpose, introduce a new
__rust_helper macro that needs to be added to every helper.
Most helpers already have __rust_helper specified, but there are a few
missing. The only consequence of this is that those specific helpers do
not get inlined.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- Fix netfs_limit_iter() hitting BUG() when an ITER_KVEC iterator
reaches it via core dump writes to 9P filesystems. Add ITER_KVEC
handling following the same pattern as the existing ITER_BVEC code.
- Fix a NULL pointer dereference in the netfs unbuffered write retry
path when the filesystem (e.g., 9P) doesn't set the prepare_write
operation.
- Clear I_DIRTY_TIME in sync_lazytime for filesystems implementing
->sync_lazytime. Without this the flag stays set and may cause
additional unnecessary calls during inode deactivation.
- Increase tmpfs size in mount_setattr selftests. A recent commit
bumped the ext4 image size to 2 GB but didn't adjust the tmpfs
backing store, so mkfs.ext4 fails with ENOSPC writing metadata.
- Fix an invalid folio access in iomap when i_blkbits matches the folio
size but differs from the I/O granularity. The cur_folio pointer
would not get invalidated and iomap_read_end() would still be called
on it despite the IO helper owning it.
- Fix hash_name() docstring.
- Fix read abandonment during netfs retry where the subreq variable
used for abandonment could be uninitialized on the first pass or
point to a deleted subrequest on later passes.
- Don't block sync for filesystems with no data integrity guarantees.
Add a SB_I_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY superblock flag replacing the per-inode
AS_NO_DATA_INTEGRITY mapping flag so sync kicks off writeback but
doesn't wait for flusher threads. This fixes a suspend-to-RAM hang on
fuse-overlayfs where the flusher thread blocks when the fuse daemon
is frozen.
- Fix a lockdep splat in iomap when reads fail. iomap_read_end_io()
invokes fserror_report() which calls igrab() taking i_lock in hardirq
context while i_lock is normally held with interrupts enabled. Kick
failed read handling to a workqueue.
- Remove the redundant netfs_io_stream::front member and use
stream->subrequests.next instead, fixing a potential issue in the
direct write code path.

net: hsr: subsystem cleanups and modernization
This series contains two focused HSR cleanups with practical benefit.
It constifies protocol operation tables and replaces a hardcoded
function name with __func__ to keep diagnostics correct across

net: hsr: constify hsr_ops and prp_ops protocol operation structures
The hsr_ops and prp_ops structures are assigned to hsr->proto_ops during
device initialization and are never modified at runtime. Declaring them
as const allows the compiler to place these structures in read-only
memory, which improves security by preventing accidental or malicious
modification of the function pointers they contain.
The proto_ops field in struct hsr_priv is also updated to a const
pointer to maintain type consistency.

====================
macb usrio/tsu patches
At the very least, it'd be good of the soc vendor folks could check
their platforms and see if their usrio stuff actually lines up with what
the driver currently calls "macb_default_usrio". Ours didn't and it was
a nasty surprise.
Ryan and I figured out that the sama7g5 stuff is not actually using the
same usrio bits as earlier devices, so there's now more patches in this
series to split them apart. I've not tested the split or the new
property due to lack of hardware, but Ryan has.
Marking this stuff net-next, because although they're fixes I don't see
any particular urgency, and it avoids creating some dependencies between
cleanup items and the fixes.

net: macb: drop usrio pointer on EyeQ5 config
USRIO is disabled on this platform, drop its inherited usrio config.
We will end up with MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED on this platform:
- We have no config->usrio so macb_configure_caps() deduces that the
feature is disabled.
- Anecdotally, we would also land in the runtime detection codepath
that reads DCFG1.

net: macb: set MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED if no usrio config is provided
bp->usrio is copied directly from dt_conf->usrio in macb_probe().
If dt_conf->usrio is NULL, we do not want to land in USRIO write
codepaths which dereference bp->usrio. Inherit automatically
MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED to avoid those.
This means a macb_config that wants to disable usrio can simply drop
its .usrio field, rather than add the disabled capability explicitly.
Nit: drop the dt_conf NULL check because the pointer is always valid.
DCFG1 (design config 1 register) carries a bit indicating whether User
I/O feature has been enabled or not. The MACB/GEM driver has a cap flag
indicating that HW has the feature disabled (default is enabled). Add
the missing connection between DCFG1 bit and MACB_CAPS_USRIO_DISABLED.
Indirect impact: avoid useless writel() on USERIO register; this is not
an important fix because USERIO is anyway read-only when feature is
disabled.
If for some reason a compatible sets USRIO_DISABLED but DCFG1 indicates
it is enabled, we still keep the disabled capability flag. This ensures
we don't break "cdns,np4-macb" that sets the flag from compatible match
data.

net: macb: timer adjust mode is not supported
The ptp portion of this driver controls the tsu's timer using the
controls for "increment mode", which is not compatible with the hardware
trying to control it via the gem_tsu_inc_ctrl and gem_tsu_ms inputs in
"timer adjust mode". Abort probe if the property signalling that the
relevant signals have been wired up is present.
The GEM IP has two methods for modifying the ptp timer. The first of
these, named "increment mode", relies on software controlling the timer
by setting tsu_timer_incr and tsu_timer_incr_sub_nsec and performing
once-off adjustments via the tsu_timer_adjust register. This is what the
macb driver uses. The second mechanism, "timer adjust mode" uses the
gem_tsu_inc_ctrl and gem_tsu_ms signals to control the timer. These
modes are not intended to be used in parallel, but both can be possible
on the same device and which mode is used cannot be determined from the
compatible on all devices, because some users of the GEM IP are SoC
FPGAs that permit configuring how the IP is wired up.
Add a property to indicate that gem_tsu_inc_ctrl and gem_tsu_ms are wired
up for timer adjust mode.

tsu_clk is grabbed during probe, so doesn't need to be re-grabbed here.
pclk is mandatory, probe will fail if it is err/NULL, so there's no need
to check it here or have a !pclk 3rd arm. Simplify gem_get_tsu_rate() to
