The xHCI 1.0 specification made a change to the TD Size field in TRBs.
The value is now the number of packets that remain to be sent in the TD,
not including this TRB. The TD Size value for the last TRB in a TD must
always be zero.
The xHCI function xhci_v1_0_td_remainder() attempts to calculate this,
but it gets it wrong. First, it erroneously reuses the old
xhci_td_remainder function, which will right shift the value by 10. The
xHCI 1.0 spec as of June 2011 says nothing about right shifting by 10.
Second, it does not set the TD size for the last TRB in a TD to zero.
Third, it uses roundup instead of DIV_ROUND_UP. The total packet count
is supposed to be the total number of bytes in this TD, divided by the
max packet size, rounded up. DIV_ROUND_UP is the right function to use
in that case.
With the old code, a TD on an endpoint with max packet size 1024 would
be set up like so:
TRB 1, TRB length = 600 bytes, TD size = 0
TRB 1, TRB length = 200 bytes, TD size = 0
TRB 1, TRB length = 100 bytes, TD size = 0
With the new code, the TD would be set up like this:
TRB 1, TRB length = 600 bytes, TD size = 1
TRB 1, TRB length = 200 bytes, TD size = 1
TRB 1, TRB length = 100 bytes, TD size = 0
This commit should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain
the commit 4da6e6f247a2601ab9f1e63424e4d944ed4124f3 "xhci 1.0: Update TD
size field format."
Above mentioned change was made along with multi usb phy change and
adding DT support for nop transceiver. But other two changes did not
make it to mainline. This in effect makes dsps musb wrapper unusable
even for single instance.
Hence revert it so that at least single instance can be supported.

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:
1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.
2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
change its affinity.
3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
the thread either.
Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)
If of_get_gpio_flags() returns an error (as in case when GPIO probe is
deferred) the driver would attempt to claim invalid GPIO. It should
propagate the error code up the stack instead so that the probe either
fails or will be retried later (in case of -EPROBE_DEFER).
Report only the position of the first finger as absolute non-MT coordinates,

NFS appears to use d_obtain_alias() to create the root dentry rather than
d_make_root. This can cause 'prepend_path()' to complain that the root
has a weird name if an NFS filesystem is lazily unmounted. e.g. if
"/mnt" is an NFS mount then
{ cd /mnt; umount -l /mnt ; ls -l /proc/self/cwd; }
will cause a WARN message like
WARNING: at /home/git/linux/fs/dcache.c:2624 prepend_path+0x1d7/0x1e0()
...
Root dentry has weird name <>
to appear in kernel logs.
So change d_obtain_alias() to use "/" rather than "" as the anonymous
name.

This patch ensures that we free the rpc_task after the cleanup callbacks
are done in order to avoid a deadlock problem that can be triggered if
the callback needs to wait for another workqueue item to complete.
With NFSv4, if we create a file then open it we explicit avoid checking
the permissions on the file during the open because the fact that we
created it ensures we should be allow to open it (the create and the
open should appear to be a single operation).
However if the reply to an EXCLUSIVE create gets lots and the client
resends the create, the current code will perform the permission check -
because it doesn't realise that it did the open already..
This patch should fix this.
Note that I haven't actually seen this cause a problem. I was just
looking at the code trying to figure out a different EXCLUSIVE open
related issue, and this looked wrong.

The writeback code is already capable of passing errors back to user space
by means of the open_context->error. In the case of ENOSPC, Neil Brown
is reporting seeing 2 errors being returned.
Neil writes:
"e.g. if /mnt2/ if an nfs mounted filesystem that has no space then
reported Input/output error and the relevant parts of the strace output are:
write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512
fsync(1) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
close(1) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)"
Neil then shows that the duplication of error messages appears to be due to
the use of the PageError() mechanism, which causes filemap_fdatawait_range
to return the extra EIO. The regression was introduced by
commit 7b281ee026552f10862b617a2a51acf49c829554 (NFS: fsync() must exit
with an error if page writeback failed).
Fix this by removing the call to SetPageError(), and just relying on
open_context->error reporting the ENOSPC back to fsync().

It is almost always wrong for NFS to call drop_nlink() after removing a
file. What we really want is to mark the inode's attributes for
revalidation, and we want to ensure that the VFS drops it if we're
reasonably sure that this is the final unlink().
Do the former using the usual cache validity flags, and the latter
by testing if inode->i_nlink == 1, and clearing it in that case.
This also fixes the following warning reported by Neil Brown and
Jeff Layton (among others).
In rare circumstances, nfs_clone_server() of a v2 or v3 server can get
an error between setting server->destory (to nfs_destroy_server), and
calling nfs_start_lockd (which will set server->nlm_host).
If this happens, nfs_clone_server will call nfs_free_server which
will call nfs_destroy_server and thence nlmclnt_done(NULL). This
causes the NULL to be dereferenced.
So add a guard to only call nlmclnt_done() if ->nlm_host is not NULL.
The other guards there are irrelevant as nlm_host can only be non-NULL
if one of these flags are set - so remove those tests. (Thanks to Trond
for this suggestion).
This is suitable for any stable kernel since 2.6.25.
Eryu provided a test program that would segfault when attempting to read
past the EOF on file that was opened O_DIRECT. The buffer given to the
read() call was on the stack, and when he attempted to read past it it
would scribble over the rest of the stack page.
If we hit the end of the file on a DIO READ request, then we don't want
to zero out the rest of the buffer. These aren't pagecache pages after
all, and there's no guarantee that the buffers that were passed in
represent entire pages.

Commit 1f1ea6c "NFSv4: Fix buffer overflow checking in
__nfs4_get_acl_uncached" accidently dropped the checking for too small
result buffer length.
If someone uses getxattr on "system.nfs4_acl" on an NFSv4 mount
supporting ACLs, the ACL has not been cached and the buffer suplied is
too short, we still copy the complete ACL, resulting in kernel and user
space memory corruption.
While there's no locking involved here, the operations are serialized,
so CTO should prevent corruption.
The first write to the file is fine and writes 4 bytes. The file is then
extended on the server. When it's reopened a GETATTR is issued and the
size change is noticed. This causes NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA to be set on
the file. Because the file is opened for write only,
nfs_want_read_modify_write() returns 0 to nfs_write_begin().
nfs_updatepage then calls nfs_write_pageuptodate() to see if it should
extend the nfs_page to cover the whole page. NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA is
still set on the file at that point, but that flag is ignored and
nfs_pageuptodate erroneously extends the write to cover the whole page,
with the write done on the server side filled in with zeroes.
This patch just has that function check for NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA in
addition to NFS_INO_REVAL_PAGECACHE. This fixes the bug, but looking
over the code, I wonder if we might have a similar bug in
nfs_revalidate_size(). The difference between those two flags is very
subtle, so it seems like we ought to be checking for
NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA in most of the places that we look for
NFS_INO_REVAL_PAGECACHE.
I believe this is regression introduced by commit 8d197a568. The code
did check for NFS_INO_INVALID_DATA prior to that patch.
If I mount an NFS v4.1 server to a single client multiple times and then
run xfstests over each mountpoint I usually get the client into a state
where recovery deadlocks. The server informs the client of a
cb_path_down sequence error, the client then does a
bind_connection_to_session and checks the status of the lease.
I found that bind_connection_to_session sets the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING
flag on the client, but this flag is never unset before
nfs4_check_lease() reaches nfs4_proc_sequence(). This causes the client
to deadlock, halting all NFS activity to the server. nfs4_proc_sequence()
is only called by the state manager, so I can change it to run in privileged
mode to bypass the NFS4_SESSION_DRAINING check and avoid the deadlock.

and due to disabling ACPI code is dropped, ata_acpi_on_devcfg which
calls ata_dev_push_id will keep failing and eventually made the device
disabled.

The "video->minor = -1" assigment is done in V4L2 by

Now. uvc_function_bind() calls in error case uvc_function_unbind() for
cleanup. The problem is that uvc_function_unbind() frees the uvc struct
and uvc_bind_config() does as well in error case of usb_add_function().
Removing kfree() in usb_add_function() would make the patch smaller but
it would look odd because the new allocated memory is not cleaned up.
However it is not guaranteed that if we call usb_add_function() we also
get to the bind function.
Therefore the patch extracts the conditional cleanup from
uvc_function_unbind() applies to uvc_function_bind().
uvc_function_unbind() now contains only the complete cleanup which is
required once everything has been registrated.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA
mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts
or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often
in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad
pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere
worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic.
Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35,
when commit e17f74af351c "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when
no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(),
which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags.
With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit
for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack.
mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context
is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code.
Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might
expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also,
the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not.
Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them
(that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects).
I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy:
it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation
in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be
much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements
throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly
empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node
variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL).
But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested.
Unfortunately with !CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED, (!PageHead) is false, and
(PageHead) is true, for tail pages. If this is indeed the intended
behavior, which I doubt because it breaks cache cleaning on some ARM
systems, then the nomenclature is highly problematic.
This patch makes sure PageHead is only true for head pages and PageTail
is only true for tail pages, and neither is true for non-compound pages.
[ This buglet seems ancient - seems to have been introduced back in Apr
2008 in commit 6a1e7f777f61: "pageflags: convert to the use of new
macros". And the reason nobody noticed is because the PageHead()
tests are almost all about just sanity-checking, and only used on
pages that are actual page heads. The fact that the old code returned
true for tail pages too was thus not really noticeable. - Linus ]

The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of
dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug
causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned
number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to
aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a
time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the
underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable
memory.
Virtio devices may attempt to add descriptors to a virtqueue from atomic
context using GFP_ATOMIC allocation. This is problematic because such
allocations can fall outside of the lowmem mapping, causing virt_to_phys
to report bogus physical addresses which are subsequently passed to
userspace via the buffers for the virtual device.
This patch masks out __GFP_HIGH and __GFP_HIGHMEM from the requested
flags when allocating descriptors for a virtqueue. If an atomic
allocation is requested and later fails, we will return -ENOSPC which
will be handled by the driver.

To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake
stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer
of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes
to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame
of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the
signal stack.
This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV
handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In
this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and
subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return
to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task.
This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part
of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe,
ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.
The AArch64 Linux port relies on the mm code to wrprotect clean ptes.
This however is not the case with newly created ptes and
PAGE_SHARED(_EXEC) is writable but !dirty.
If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via
unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak
into the command line.
Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively.
However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the
bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching
binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and
binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp
pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is
left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the
userspace argv areas.
After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains
the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As
such, we need to protect the changes to interp.
This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the
bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default
value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or
binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code
to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead
to a system to continue on to call die().

Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the
probe routine to fail because the request to user space times out.
The original fix for b43legacy (commit a3ea2c7) moved the firmware
load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous
firmware loading. This method is OK when b43legacy is built as a module;
however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel.
This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file
using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to
hold the work queue until that file is available. The remaining
firmware files are read synchronously.

There is one race that both request_firmware() with the same

The race scenerio is as below:
CPU1 CPU2
request_firmware() -->
_request_firmware_load() return err another request_firmware() is coming -->
_request_firmware_cleanup is called --> _request_firmware_prepare -->
release_firmware ---> fw_lookup_and_allocate_buf -->
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
... __fw_lookup_buf() return true
fw_free_buf() will be called --> ...
kref_put -->
decrease the refcount to 0
kref_get(&tmp->ref) ==> it will trigger warning

__fw_free_buf() -->
... spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
spin_lock(&fwc->lock)
list_del(&buf->list)
spin_unlock(&fwc->lock)
kfree(buf)
After that, the freed buf will be used.
The key race is decreasing refcount to 0 and list_del is not protected together by
fwc->lock, and it is possible another thread try to get it between refcount==0
and list_del.
Fix it here to protect it together.

set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT

In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set,

Commit 29c00b4a1d9e27 (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback
invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch()
Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue,
instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes
the effective limit being 1. So, unless there is frequent idle periods
(during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a
state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate,
eventually resulting in OOM.
This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from
int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters
controlling the batch limits.

This patch (as1632b) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd. The USB core uses
urb->hcpriv to determine whether or not an URB is active; host
controller drivers are supposed to set this pointer to a non-NULL
value when an URB is queued. However ehci-hcd sets it to NULL for
isochronous URBs, which defeats the check in usbcore.
In itself this isn't a big deal. But people have recently found that
certain sequences of actions will cause the snd-usb-audio driver to
reuse URBs without waiting for them to complete. In the absence of
proper checking by usbcore, the URBs get added to their endpoint list
twice. This leads to list corruption and a system freeze.
The patch makes ehci-hcd assign a meaningful value to urb->hcpriv for
isochronous URBs. Improving robustness always helps.

The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's
pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified
as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file),
as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity
check.
The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it.
If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read
the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading
the file.
The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page
before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers
require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise
it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer.
By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from
happening.

This patch (as1636) is a partial workaround for a hardware bug
affecting OHCI controllers by NVIDIA at least, maybe others too. When
the controller retires a Transfer Descriptor, it is supposed to add
the TD onto the Done Queue. But sometimes this doesn't happen, with
the result that ohci-hcd never realizes the corresponding transfer has
finished. Symptoms can vary; a typical result is that USB audio stops
working after a while.
The patch works around the problem by recognizing that TDs are always
processed in order. Therefore, if a later TD is found on the Done
Queue than all the earlier TDs for the same endpoint must be finished
as well.
Unfortunately this won't solve the problem in cases where the missing
TD is the last one in the endpoint's queue. A complete fix would
require a signficant amount of change to the driver.

During resume from system suspend the 'data' field of
struct pnp_dev in pnpacpi_set_resources() may be a stale pointer,
due to removal of the associated ACPI device node object in the
previous suspend-resume cycle. This happens, for example, if a
dockable machine is booted in the docking station and then suspended
and resumed and suspended again. If that happens,
pnpacpi_build_resource_template() called from pnpacpi_set_resources()
attempts to use that pointer and crashes.
However, pnpacpi_set_resources() actually checks the device's ACPI
handle, attempts to find the ACPI device node object attached to it
and returns an error code if that fails, so in fact it knows what the
correct value of dev->data should be. Use this observation to update
dev->data with the correct value if necessary and dump a call trace
if that's the case (once).
We still need to fix the root cause of this issue, but preventing
systems from crashing because of it is an improvement too.

Add a quirk to correctly report battery capacity on 2010 and 2011
Lenovo Thinkpad models.
The affected models that I tested (x201, t410, t410s, and x220)
exhibit a problem where, when battery capacity reporting unit is mAh,
the values being reported are wrong. Pre-2010 and 2012 models appear
to always report in mWh and are thus unaffected. Also, in mid-2012
Lenovo issued a BIOS update for the 2011 models that fixes the issue
(tested on x220 with a post-1.29 BIOS). No such update is available
for the 2010 models, so those still need this patch.
Problem description: for some reason, the affected Thinkpads switch
the reporting unit between mAh and mWh; generally, mAh is used when a
laptop is plugged in and mWh when it's unplugged, although a
suspend/resume or rmmod/modprobe is needed for the switch to take
effect. The values reported in mAh are *always* wrong. This does
not appear to be a kernel regression; I believe that the values were
never reported correctly. I tested back to kernel 2.6.34, with
multiple machines and BIOS versions.
Simply plugging a laptop into mains before turning it on is enough to
reproduce the problem. Here's a sample /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
from Thinkpad x220 (before a BIOS update) with a 4-cell battery:
present: yes
design capacity: 2886 mAh
last full capacity: 2909 mAh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 14800 mV
design capacity warning: 145 mAh
design capacity low: 13 mAh
cycle count: 0
capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh
capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh
model number: 42T4899
serial number: 21064
battery type: LION
OEM info: SANYO
Once the laptop switches the unit to mWh (unplug from mains, suspend,
resume), the output changes to:
Can you see how the values for "design capacity", etc., differ by a
factor of 10 instead of 14.8 (the design voltage of this battery)?
On the battery itself it says: 14.8V, 1.95Ah, 29Wh, so clearly the
values reported in mWh are correct and the ones in mAh are not.
My guess is that this problem has been around ever since those
machines were released, but because the most common Thinkpad
batteries are rated at 10.8V, the error (8%) is small enough that it
simply hasn't been noticed or at least nobody could be bothered to
look into it.
My patch works around the problem by adjusting the incorrectly
reported mAh values by "10000 / design_voltage". The patch also has
code to figure out if it should be activated or not. It only
activates on Lenovo Thinkpads, only when the unit is mAh, and, as an
extra precaution, only when the battery capacity reported through
ACPI does not match what is reported through DMI (I've never
encountered a machine where the first two conditions would be true
but the last would not, but better safe than sorry).
I've been using this patch for close to a year on several systems
without any problems.

HPET_TN_FSB is not a proper mask bit; it merely toggles between MSI and

use both bits when (un)masking the interrupt.

unused p2_pclk12 registered at bit 12 in periphereral group 6
was defined as using bit 11 rather than bit 12.
When walking over and disabling the unused clocks in the tree
at late init time, p2_pclk12 was disabled, by effectively
clearing the but for p2_pclk11 instead of bit 12 as it should
have, thus disabling gpio block 6 and 7.

Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only

In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code

Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated

This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain

(specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).
Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared. It
very much can be shared in this context.
Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
skb_copy_bits().

It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all. We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.
When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation. That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.
So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake. Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)
