rtl8187: Fix lockups due to concurrent access to config routine
With the rtl8187 driver, the config routine is not protected against
access before a previous call has completed. When this happens, the
TX loopback that is needed to change channels may cause the chip to
be locked with a reset needed to restore communications. This patch
entered mainline as commit 7dcdd073bf78bb6958bbc12a1a47754a0f3c4721.
The problem was found by Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br>,
who also suggested this type of fix.

I have a new PCI-E radeon RV380 series card (PCI device ID 5b64) that
hangs in my sparc64 boxes when the init scripts set the font. The problem
goes away if I disable acceleration.
I haven't figured out that bug yet, but along the way I found some
corrections to make based upon some auditing.
1) The RB2D_DC_FLUSH_ALL value used by the kernel fb driver
and the XORG video driver differ. I've made the kernel
match what XORG is using.
2) In radeonfb_engine_reset() we have top-level code structure
that roughly looks like:
if (family is 300, 350, or V350)
do this;
else
do that;
...
if (family is NOT 300, OR
family is NOT 350, OR
family is NOT V350)
do another thing;
this last conditional makes no sense, is always true,
and obviously was likely meant to be "family is NOT
300, 350, or V350". So I've made the code match the
intent.

The driver of ITE8212 in pass-through mode (it8212.noraid=1 on cmndline)
attempts to use the field `.dma_host_set' of the struct ide_dma_ops in
`ide_config_drive_speed' which is set to NULL by default.
So give a value to all fields of the struct ide_dma_ops.
If an OSS application calls SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC, then ALSA will call the driver's
_hw_params and _prepare functions again. On the Freescale MPC8610 DMA ASoC
driver, this caused the DMA controller to be unneccessarily re-programmed, and
apparently it doesn't like that. The DMA will then not operate when

The Freescale MPC8610 SSI device has the option of using one clock for both
transmit and receive (synchronous mode), or independent clocks (asynchronous).
The SSI driver, however, programs the SSI into synchronous mode and then
tries to program the clock registers independently. The result is that the wrong
sample size is usually generated during recording.
This patch fixes the discrepancy by restricting the sample rate and sample size
of the playback and capture streams. The SSI driver remembers which stream
is opened first. When a second stream is opened, that stream is constrained
to the same sample rate and size as the first stream.
A future version of this driver will lift the sample size restriction.
Supporting independent sample rates is more difficult, because only certain
codecs provide dual independent clocks.

The magic write to register 0x82 will often cause PCI config space on

When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).
This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.

Correct sparc64's implementation of FUTEX_OP_ANDN to do a

either negate oparg explicitly (frv, ia64, mips, sh, x86),
or do so indirectly by using an and-not instruction (powerpc).
Since sparc64 has and-not, I chose to use that solution.
I've not found any use of FUTEX_OP_ANDN in glibc so the
impact of this bug is probably minor. But other user-space

In the old acer_acpi, I discovered that on some of the newer AMW0 laptops
that supported the WMID methods, they don't work properly for setting the

So for the AMW0 V2 laptops, we want to use both the 'old' AMW0 and the
'new' WMID methods for setting wireless & bluetooth to guarantee we always
enable it.
This was fixed in acer_acpi some time ago, but I forgot to port the patch
over to acer-wmi when it was merged.
(Without this patch, early AMW0 V2 laptops such as the Aspire 5040 won't
work with acer-wmi, where-as they did with the old acer_acpi).
There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call

spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using

Some chips appear to have the 2D engine hang during screen redraw,
typically in a sequence of copyarea operations. This appear to be
solved by adding a flush of the engine destination pixel cache
and waiting for the engine to be idle before issuing the accel
operation. The performance impact seems to be fairly small.
Here is a trace on an RV370 (PCI device ID 0x5b64), it records the
RBBM_STATUS register, then the source x/y, destination x/y, and
width/height used for the copy:
When things are going fine the copies complete before the next ROP is
even issued, but all of a sudden the 2D unit becomes active (bit 17 in
RBBM_STATUS) and the FIFO retry (bit 13) and FIFO pipeline busy (bit
14) are set as well. The FIFO begins to backup until it becomes full.
What happens next is the radeon_fifo_wait() times out, and we access
the chip illegally leading to a bus error which usually wedges the
box. None of this makes it to the console screen, of course :-)
radeon_fifo_wait() should be modified to reset the accelerator when
this timeout happens instead of programming the chip anyways.
Another quirk is that these copyarea calls will not happen until the
first drivers/char/vt.c:redraw_screen() occurs. This will only happen
if you 1) VC switch or 2) run "consolechars" or 3) unblank the screen.
This seems to happen because until a redraw_screen() the screen scrolling
method used by fbcon is not finalized yet. I've seen this with other fb
drivers too.
So if all you do is boot straight into X you will never see this bug on
the relevant chips.

The bug was reported and analysed by Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>,
the patch is based on his and Roland's suggestions.
posix_timer_event() always rewrites the pre-allocated siginfo before sending
the signal. Most of the written info is the same all the time, but memset(0)
is very wrong. If ->sigq is queued we can race with collect_signal() which
can fail to find this siginfo looking at .si_signo, or copy_siginfo() can
copy the wrong .si_code/si_tid/etc.
In short, sys_timer_settime() can in fact stop the active timer, or the user
can receive the siginfo with the wrong .si_xxx values.
Move "memset(->info, 0)" from posix_timer_event() to alloc_posix_timer(),
change send_sigqueue() to set .si_overrun = 0 when ->sigq is not queued.
It would be nice to move the whole sigq->info initialization from send to
create path, but this is not easy to do without uglifying timer_create()
further.
As Roland rightly pointed out, we need more cleanups/fixes here, see the
"FIXME" comment in the patch. Hopefully this patch makes sense anyway, and
it can mask the most bad implications.

It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels
for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue
but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some
time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following:
The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send
things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be
updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata
now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in
block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct
sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine
instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the
translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and
correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However,
a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply
copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds.
Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the
timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the
timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times
too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the
FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW,
the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because
it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

When signal is noisy, hardware can use all RX buffers and since the last
entry in the list is self-linked, it overwrites the entry until we link
new buffers.
Ensure that we don't free this last one until we are 100% sure that it
is not used by the hardware anymore to not cause memory curruption as
can be seen below.
This is done by checking next buffer in the list. Even after that we
know that the hardware refetched the new link and proceeded further
(the next buffer is ready) we can finally free the overwritten buffer.
We discard it since the status in its descriptor is overwritten (OR-ed
by new status) too.

Lookup can install a child dentry for a deleted directory. This keeps
the directory dentry alive, and the inode pinned in the cache and on
disk, even after all external references have gone away.
This isn't a big problem normally, since memory pressure or umount
will clear out the directory dentry and its children, releasing the
inode. But for UBIFS this causes problems because its orphan area can
overflow.
Fix this by returning ENOENT for all lookups on a S_DEAD directory
before creating a child dentry.
Thanks to Zoltan Sogor for noticing this while testing UBIFS, and
Artem for the excellent analysis of the problem and testing.

request tries hard to release the buffers, it will treat the failure as
error and return back to the caller. We have seen the directo IO failed
due to this race. Some of the caller of releasepage() also expecting the
buffer to be dropped when passed with GFP_KERNEL mask to the
releasepage()->journal_try_to_free_buffers().
With this patch, if the caller is passing the __GFP_WAIT and __GFP_FS to
indicating this call could wait, in case of try_to_free_buffers() failed,
let's waiting for journal_commit_transaction() to finish commit the
current committing transaction, then try to free those buffers again.

There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata(). It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
drivers that need it.

The problem is ch_probe stores ch's private data at a wrong place.
We need to store it at scsi_device->sdev_gendev but the above patch
stores it at device struct that device_create_drvdata returns. So we
hit an oops when ch_remove accesses
scsi_device->sdev_gendev->driver_data, which is NULL.
Actually, there wasn't a race because ch doesn't create sysfs files
with device struct that device_create returns. This patch puts back
dev_set_drvdata() to set ch's private data properly.

Ok, do_debug() is a trap, this can happen at any time regardless of the
machine's IRQ state. So the first thing we do is fix up the IRQ state.
Then we call this die notifier stuff; and return with messed up IRQ
state... YAY.
So, kprobes fudges it..
notify_die(DIE_DEBUG)
kprobe_exceptions_notify()
post_kprobe_handler()
modify regs->flags
trace_hardirqs_fixup_flags(regs->flags); <--- must be it
So what's the use of modifying flags if they're not meant to take effect
at some point.
/me tries to reproduce issue; enable kprobes test thingy && boot
OK, that reproduces..
So the below makes it work - but I'm not getting this code; at the time
I wrote that stuff I CC'ed each and every kprobe maintainer listed in
the usual places but got no reposonse - can some please explain this
stuff to me?
Are the saved flags only for the TF bit or are they made in full effect
later (and if so, where) ?

There is a possible race in md_probe. If two threads call md_probe
for the same device, then one could exit (having checked that
->gendisk exists) before the other has called kobject_init_and_add,
thus returning an incomplete kobj which will cause problems when
we try to add children to it.
So extend the range of protection of disks_mutex slightly to
avoid this possibility.

[SCSI] bsg: fix bsg_mutex hang with device removal
We don't need to hold bsg_mutex during bsg_complete_all_commands(). It

Thanks to Pete Wyckoff for finding the bug and testing the patch.
According to RFC2327, the connection information is optional
in the session description since it can be specified in the
media description instead.
My provider does exactly that and does not provide any connection
information in the session description. As a result the new
kernel drops all invite responses.
This patch makes it optional as documented.

We zero-fill them like we are supposed to, and that's all fine. It's
only an error if the 'romfs_copyfrom()' routine isn't able to fill the
data that is supposed to be there.
Most of the patch is really just re-organizing the code a bit, and using
separate variables for the error value and for how much of the page we
actually filled from the filesystem.

The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.
The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.

Paul pointed out two incorrect read barriers in the marker handler code in
the path where multiple probes are connected. Those are ordering reads of
"ptype" (single or multi probe marker), "multi" array pointer, and "multi"
array data access.
It should be ordered like this :
read ptype
smp_rmb()
read multi array pointer
smp_read_barrier_depends()
access data referenced by multi array pointer
The code with a single probe connected (optimized case, does not have to
allocate an array) has correct memory ordering.
It applies to kernel 2.6.26.x, 2.6.25.x and linux-next.

SuSE's insserve initscript ordering program hits kernel BUG at mm/shmem.c:814
on 2.6.26. It's using posix_fadvise on directories, and the shmem_readpage
method added in 2.6.23 is letting POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED allocate useless pages
to a tmpfs directory, incrementing i_blocks count but never decrementing it.
Fix this by assigning shmem_aops (pointing to readpage and writepage and
set_page_dirty) only when it's needed, on a regular file or a long symlink.
Many thanks to Kel for outstanding bugreport and steps to reproduce it.

The block transfer routine in the mpc52xx psc spi driver misinterpret
the datasheet. According to the processor datasheet the chipselect is
held as long as the EOF is not written.
Theoretically blocks of any sizes can be transferred in this way. The
old routine however writes an EOF after every word, which has the size
of size_of_word. This makes the transfer slow.
Also fixed some duplicate code.

eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
commit 7fcba054373d5dfc43d26e243a5c9b92069972ee upstream
Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:46:39 -0700
Subject: eCryptfs: use page_alloc not kmalloc to get a page of memory
With SLUB debugging turned on in 2.6.26, I was getting memory corruption
when testing eCryptfs. The root cause turned out to be that eCryptfs was
doing kmalloc(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE); virt_to_page() and treating that as a nice
page-aligned chunk of memory. But at least with SLUB debugging on, this
is not always true, and the page we get from virt_to_page does not
necessarily match the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE worth of memory we got from kmalloc.
My simple testcase was 2 loops doing "rm -f fileX; cp /tmp/fileX ." for 2
different multi-megabyte files. With this change I no longer see the
corruption.

Copy tuner data earlier in init to avoid overwriting manual tuner type
When saa7134_board_init2 runs, it immediately overwrites the
current value (set earlier from module parameter) of tuner_type
with the static values, and then does autodetection. This patch
moves the tuner_addr copy to earlier in saa7134_initdev and
removes the tuner_type copy from saa7134_board_init2.
Autodetection could still potentially change to the wrong tuner
type, but it is now possible to override the default type for
the card again.
My card's tuner is configured with autodetection from eeprom,
so I don't need to manually set the tuner. I've checked that
the autodetection still works for my card.
