The field is used to pass the UVC request data length, but can also be
used to signal an error when setting it to a negative value. Switch from
unsigned int to __s32.
This patch (as1539) fixes a minor bug in the mass-storage gadget
drivers. When an unknown command is received, the error code sent
back is "Invalid Field in CDB" rather than "Invalid Command". This is
because the bitmask of CDB bytes allowed to be nonzero is incorrect.
When handling an unknown command, we don't care which command bytes
are nonzero. All the bits in the mask should be set, not just eight
of them.

This patch (as1545) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers. Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.
After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state. Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.
The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep. Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.
This patch fixes a race whereby a pointer to a buffer
would be overwritten while the buffer was in use leading
to a double free and a memory leak. This causes crashes.
This bug was introduced in 2.6.34

Clearing bit 5 of CACHE_MODE_0 is necessary to prevent GPU hangs in
OpenGL programs such as Google MapsGL, Google Earth, and gzdoom when
using separate stencil buffers. Without it, the GPU tries to use the
LRA eviction policy, which isn't supported. This was supposed to be off

We seem to have a decent confusion between the output timings and the
input timings of the sdvo encoder. If I understand the code correctly,
we use the original mode unchanged for the output timings, safe for
the lvds case. And we should use the adjusted mode for input timings.
Clarify the situation by adding an explicit output_dtd to the sdvo
mode_set function and streamline the code-flow by moving the input and
output mode setting in the sdvo encode together.
Furthermore testing showed that the sdvo input timing needs the
unadjusted dotclock, the sdvo chip will automatically compute the
required pixel multiplier to get a dotclock above 100 MHz.
Fix this up when converting a drm mode to an sdvo dtd.

Due to questions raised in review, below a more elaborate analysis of
the bug at hand:
Sdvo seems to have two timings, one is the output timing which will be
sent over whatever is connected on the other side of the sdvo chip (panel,
hdmi screen, tv), the other is the input timing which will be generated by
the gmch pipe. It looks like sdvo is expected to scale between the two.
To make things slightly more complicated, we have a bunch of special
cases:
- For lvds panel we always use a fixed output timing, namely
intel_sdvo->sdvo_lvds_fixed_mode, hence that special case.
- Sdvo has an interface to generate a preferred input timing for a given
output timing. This is the confusing thing that I've tried to clear up
with the follow-on patches.
- A special requirement is that the input pixel clock needs to be between
100MHz and 200MHz (likely to keep it within the electromechanical design
range of PCIe), 270MHz on later gen4+. Lower pixel clocks are
doubled/quadrupled.
The thing this patch tries to fix is that the pipe needs to be
explicitly instructed to double/quadruple the pixels and needs the
correspondingly higher pixel clock, whereas the sdvo adaptor seems to
do that itself and needs the unadjusted pixel clock. For the sdvo
encode side we already set the pixel mutliplier with a different
command (0x21).
This patch tries to fix this mess by:
- Keeping the output mode timing in the unadjusted plain mode, safe
for the lvds case.
- Storing the input timing in the adjusted_mode with the adjusted
pixel clock. This way we don't need to frob around with the core
crtc mode set code.
- Fixing up the pixelclock when constructing the sdvo dtd timing
struct. This is why the first hunk of the patch is an integral part
of the series.
- Dropping the is_tv special case because input_dtd is equivalent to
adjusted_mode after these changes. Follow-up patches clear this up
further (by simply ripping out intel_sdvo->input_dtd because it's
not needed).

Newer BKDG[1] versions recommend a different initialization value for
the running average range register in the northbridge. This improves
the power reading by avoiding counter saturations resulting in bogus
values for anything below about 80% of TDP power consumption.
Updated BIOSes will have this new value set up from the beginning,
but meanwhile we correct this value ourselves.
This needs to be done on all northbridges, even on those where the
driver itself does not register at.
This fixes the driver on all current machines to provide proper
values for idle load.
While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC),
we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers
(preemptirqsoff) was empty.
This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace
again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was).
This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event
to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by
grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event
instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event,
this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for
the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine
how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means
no stack.
The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event.
Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will
not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report
the issue and tested the fix.

This loop on EBCISR register was designed to clear IRQ sources before enabling
a DMA channel. This register is clear-on-read so a race condition can appear if
another channel is already active and has just finished its transfer.
Removing this read on EBCISR is fixing the issue as there is no case where an IRQ
could be pending: we already make sure that this register is drained at probe()
time and during resume.
Line widgets had not been included in either the power up or power down
sequences so if a widget had an event associated with it that event would
never be run. Fix this minimally by adding them to the sequences, we
should probably be doing away with the specific widget types as they all
have the same priority anyway.

While that commit was technically the right thing to do, and made the
x86-64 compat mode work identically to native 32-bit mode (and thus
fixing the problem with a 32-bit systemd install on a 64-bit kernel), it
turns out that the automount binaries had workarounds for this compat
problem.
Now, the workarounds are disgusting: doing an "uname()" to find out the
architecture of the kernel, and then comparing it for the 64-bit cases
and fixing up the size of the read() in automount for those. And they
were confused: it's not actually a generic 64-bit issue at all, it's
very much tied to just x86-64, which has different alignment for an
'u64' in 64-bit mode than in 32-bit mode.
But the end result is that fixing the compat layer actually breaks the
case of a 32-bit automount on a x86-64 kernel.
There are various approaches to fix this (including just doing a
"strcmp()" on current->comm and comparing it to "automount"), but I
think that I will do the one that teaches pipes about a special "packet
mode", which will allow user space to not have to care too deeply about
the padding at the end of the autofs packet.
That change will make the compat workaround unnecessary, so let's revert
it first, and get automount working again in compat mode. The
packetized pipes will then fix autofs for systemd.

There is no point to print error messages in such a situation.

Current APIC code assumes MSR_IA32_APICBASE is present for all systems.
Pentium Classic P5 and friends didn't have this MSR. MSR_IA32_APICBASE
was introduced as an architectural MSR by Intel @ P6.
Code paths that can touch this MSR invalidly are when vendor == Intel &&
cpu-family == 5 and APIC bit is set in CPUID - or when you simply pass
lapic on the kernel command line, on a P5.
The below patch stops Linux incorrectly interfering with the
MSR_IA32_APICBASE for P5 class machines. Other code paths exist that
touch the MSR - however those paths are not currently reachable for a
conformant P5.

Marc Merlin reported many order-1 allocations failures in TX path on its
wireless setup, that dont make any sense with MTU=1500 network, and non
SG capable hardware.
After investigation, it turns out TCP uses sk_stream_alloc_skb() and
used as a convention skb_tailroom(skb) to know how many bytes of data
payload could be put in this skb (for non SG capable devices)
Note : these skb used kmalloc-4096 (MTU=1500 + MAX_HEADER +
sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) being above 2048)
Later, mac80211 layer need to add some bytes at the tail of skb
(IEEE80211_ENCRYPT_TAILROOM = 18 bytes) and since no more tailroom is
available has to call pskb_expand_head() and request order-1
allocations.
This patch changes sk_stream_alloc_skb() so that only
sk->sk_prot->max_header bytes of headroom are reserved, and use a new
skb field, avail_size to hold the data payload limit.
This way, order-0 allocations done by TCP stack can leave more than 2 KB
of tailroom and no more allocation is performed in mac80211 layer (or
any layer needing some tailroom)
avail_size is unioned with mark/dropcount, since mark will be set later
in IP stack for output packets. Therefore, skb size is unchanged.

Turns out part of the problem comes from pskb_expand_head() not using
ksize() to get exact head size given by kmalloc(). Doing the same thing
than __alloc_skb() allows more tailroom in skb and can prevent future
reallocations.
As a bonus, struct skb_shared_info becomes cache line aligned.

A parameter set exists for WRED mode, called wred_set, to hold the same
values for qavg and qidlestart across all VQs. The WRED mode values had
been previously held in the VQ for the default DP. After these values
were moved to wred_set, the VQ for the default DP was no longer created
automatically (so that it could be omitted on purpose, to have packets
in the default DP enqueued directly to the device without using RED).
However, gred_dump() was overlooked during that change; in WRED mode it
still reads qavg/qidlestart from the VQ for the default DP, which might
not even exist. As a result, this command sequence will cause an oops:
This fixes gred_dump() in WRED mode to use the values held in wred_set.

32 frames to accumulate in the MAC's internal buffers, a buffer
overflow occurs.
This patch fixes the problem by making the
driver's frame_head_info buffer big enough.
Well actually, since the chip appears to have 12K of
internal rx buffers and the shortest ethernet frame should
be 64 bytes long, maybe the limit could be set to
12*1024/64 = 192 frames, but 255 should be safer.

The SMSC911x driver resets the ->head, ->data and ->tail pointers in the
skb on the reset path in order to avoid buffer overflow due to packet
padding performed by the hardware.
This patch fixes the receive path so that the skb pointers are fixed up
after the data has been read from the device, The error path is also
fixed to use number of words consistently and prevent erroneous FIFO
fastforwarding when skipping over bad data.

Fix a code path in tcp_rcv_rtt_update() that was comparing scaled and
unscaled RTT samples.
The intent in the code was to only use the 'm' measurement if it was a
new minimum. However, since 'm' had not yet been shifted left 3 bits
but 'new_sample' had, this comparison would nearly always succeed,
leading us to erroneously set our receive-side RTT estimate to the 'm'
sample when that sample could be nearly 8x too high to use.
The overall effect is to often cause the receive-side RTT estimate to
be significantly too large (up to 40% too large for brief periods in
my tests).

getsockopt(..., SCTP_EVENTS, ...) performs a length check and returns
an error if the user provides less bytes than the size of struct
sctp_event_subscribe.
Struct sctp_event_subscribe needs to be extended by an u8 for every
new event or notification type that is added.
This obviously makes getsockopt fail for binaries that are compiled
against an older versions of <net/sctp/user.h> which do not contain
all event types.
This patch changes getsockopt behaviour to no longer return an error
if not enough bytes are being provided by the user. Instead, it
returns as much of sctp_event_subscribe as fits into the provided buffer.
This leads to the new behavior that users see what they have been aware
of at compile time.

vmsplice()/splice(pipe, socket) call do_tcp_sendpages() one page at a
time, adding at most 4096 bytes to an skb. (assuming PAGE_SIZE=4096)
The call to tcp_push() at the end of do_tcp_sendpages() forces an
immediate xmit when pipe is not already filled, and tso_fragment() try
to split these skb to MSS multiples.
4096 bytes are usually split in a skb with 2 MSS, and a remaining
sub-mss skb (assuming MTU=1500)
This makes slow start suboptimal because many small frames are sent to
qdisc/driver layers instead of big ones (constrained by cwnd and packets
in flight of course)
In fact, applications using sendmsg() (adding an additional memory copy)
instead of vmsplice()/splice()/sendfile() are a bit faster because of
this anomaly, especially if serving small files in environments with
large initial [c]wnd.
Call tcp_push() only if MSG_MORE is not set in the flags parameter.
This bit is automatically provided by splice() internals but for the
last page, or on all pages if user specified SPLICE_F_MORE splice()
flag.
In some workloads, this can reduce number of sent logical packets by an
order of magnitude, making zero-copy TCP actually faster than
one-copy :)

For every transmitted packet, ppp_start_xmit() will stop the netdev
queue and then, if appropriate, restart it. This causes the TX softirq
to run, entirely gratuitously.
This is "only" a waste of CPU time in the normal case, but it's actively
harmful when the PPP device is a TEQL slave — the wakeup will cause the
offending device to receive the next TX packet from the TEQL queue, when
it *should* have gone to the next slave in the list. We end up seeing
large bursts of packets on just *one* slave device, rather than using
the full available bandwidth over all slaves.
This patch fixes the problem by *not* unconditionally stopping the queue
in ppp_start_xmit(). It adds a return value from ppp_xmit_process()
which indicates whether the queue should be stopped or not.
It *doesn't* remove the call to netif_wake_queue() from
ppp_xmit_process(), because other code paths (especially from
ppp_output_wakeup()) need it there and it's messy to push it out to the
other callers to do it based on the return value. So we leave it in
place — it's a no-op in the case where the queue wasn't stopped, so it's
harmless in the TX path.

We've been adding new mappings, but not destroying old mappings.
This can lead to a page leak as pages are pinned using
get_user_pages, but only unpinned with put_page if they still
exist in the memslots list on vm shutdown. A memslot that is
destroyed while an iommu domain is enabled for the guest will
therefore result in an elevated page reference count that is
never cleared.
Additionally, without this fix, the iommu is only programmed
with the first translation for a gpa. This can result in
peer-to-peer errors if a mapping is destroyed and replaced by a
new mapping at the same gpa as the iommu will still be pointing
to the original, pinned memory address.
Some BIOS implementations leave the Intel GPU interrupts enabled,
even though no one is handling them (f.e. i915 driver is never loaded).
Additionally the interrupt destination is not set up properly
and the interrupt ends up -somewhere-.
These spurious interrupts are "sticky" and the kernel disables
the (shared) interrupt line after 100.000+ generated interrupts.
Fix it by disabling the still enabled interrupts.
This resolves crashes often seen on monitor unplug.

thus creating the possibility of an abort exception

This patch (as154) fixes a self-deadlock that occurs when userspace
writes to the bConfigurationValue sysfs attribute for a hub with
children. The task tries to lock the bandwidth_mutex at a time when
it already owns the lock:
The attribute's method calls usb_set_configuration(),
which calls usb_disable_device() with the bandwidth_mutex
held.
usb_disable_device() unregisters the existing interfaces,
which causes the hub driver to be unbound.
The hub_disconnect() routine calls hub_quiesce(), which
calls usb_disconnect() for each of the hub's children.
usb_disconnect() attempts to acquire the bandwidth_mutex
around a call to usb_disable_device().
The solution is to make usb_disable_device() acquire the mutex for
itself instead of requiring the caller to hold it. Then the mutex can
cover only the bandwidth deallocation operation and not the region
where the interfaces are unregistered.
This has the potential to change system behavior slightly when a
config change races with another config or altsetting change. Some of
the bandwidth released from the old config might get claimed by the
other config or altsetting, make it impossible to restore the old
config in case of a failure. But since we don't try to recover from
config-change failures anyway, this doesn't matter.
[This should be marked for stable kernels that contain the commit fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 "USB: Free bandwidth when
usb_disable_device is called."

This patch (as1544) fixes a problem affecting some EHCI controllers.
They can generate interrupts whenever the STS_FLR status bit is turned
on, even though that bit is masked out in the Interrupt Enable
register.
Since the driver doesn't use STS_FLR anyway, the patch changes the
interrupt routine to clear that bit whenever it is set, rather than
leaving it alone.
This patch (as1542) changes the criterion ehci-hcd uses to tell when
it needs to resume the controller's root hub. A resume is needed when
a port status change is detected, obviously, but only if the root hub
is currently suspended.
Right now the driver tests whether the root hub is running, and that
is not the correct test. In particular, if the controller has died
then the root hub should not be restarted. In addition, some buggy
hardware occasionally requires the root hub to be running and
sending out SOF packets even while it is nominally supposed to be
suspended.
In the end, the test needs to be changed. Rather than checking whether
the root hub is currently running, the driver will now check whether
the root hub is currently suspended. This will yield the correct
behavior in all cases.

This driver anticipates pch_uart_verify_port() is not called

However, actually pch_uart_verify_port() is called during

As a result, memory access violation occurs like below.

- dma channel is not allocated because use_dma=0
2. pch_uart_verify_port()

3. UART processing acts DMA mode because use_dma=1

If, when md_notify_reboot gets the mddev lock, the array is
in a state where it is assembled but hasn't been started (as can
happen if the personality module is not available, or in other unusual

So refine md_check_recovery to only do any actual recovery checking

Mel reports a BUG_ON(slot == NULL) in radix_tree_tag_set() on s390
3.0.13: called from __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() when page_remove_rmap()
tries to transfer dirty flag from s390 storage key to struct page and
radix_tree.
That would be because of reclaim's shrink_page_list() calling
add_to_swap() on this page at the same time: first PageSwapCache is set
(causing page_mapping(page) to appear as &swapper_space), then
page->private set, then tree_lock taken, then page inserted into
radix_tree - so there's an interval before taking the lock when the
radix_tree slot is empty.
We could fix this by moving __add_to_swap_cache()'s spin_lock_irq up
before the SetPageSwapCache. But a better fix is simply to do what's
five years overdue: Ken Chen introduced __set_page_dirty_no_writeback()
(if !PageDirty TestSetPageDirty) for tmpfs to skip all the radix_tree
overhead, and swap is just the same - it ignores the radix_tree tag, and
does not participate in dirty page accounting, so should be using
__set_page_dirty_no_writeback() too.
s390 testing now confirms that this does indeed fix the problem.

switch back to DVB-S. Well, this is not right, as a DVBv3 call
doesn't know anything about delivery systems.
However, as, by accident, this used to work, we need to restore its
behavior, in order to avoid regressions with those softwares.

If sanity check fails in scu_command(), goto error leads to unlock of
an unheld mutex. The check should not fail in reality, but it nevertheless
worth fixing.
