The usb_control_msg() function expects __u16 types and performs
the endianness conversions by itself.
However, in three places, a conversion is performed before it is
handed over to usb_control_msg(), which leads to a double conversion

* snd_nativeinstruments_control_get()
* snd_nativeinstruments_control_put()

This commit broke some pre-1.1 PCIe devices by leaving them with
ASPM enabled. Previously, we had disabled ASPM on these devices
because many of them don't implement it correctly (per 149e1637).
Requesting _OSC control early means that aspm_disabled may be set
before we scan the PCI bus and configure link ASPM state. But the
ASPM configuration currently skips the check for pre-PCIe 1.1 devices
when aspm_disabled is set, like this:
acpi_pci_root_add
acpi_pci_osc_support
if (flags != base_flags)
pcie_no_aspm
aspm_disabled = 1
pci_acpi_scan_root
...
pcie_aspm_init_link_state
pcie_aspm_sanity_check
if (!aspm_disabled)
/* check for pre-PCIe 1.1 device */
Therefore, setting aspm_disabled early means that we leave ASPM enabled
on these pre-PCIe 1.1 devices, which is a regression for some devices.
The best fix would be to clean up the ASPM init so we can evaluate
_OSC before scanning the bug (that way boot-time and hot-add discovery
will work the same), but that requires significant rework.
For now, we'll just revert the _OSC change as the lowest-risk fix.

eboot.o and efi_stub_$(BITS).o didn't get added to "targets", and hence
their .cmd files don't get included by the build machinery, leading to
the files always getting rebuilt.
Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and
add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment
at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit.
At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable
assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are
meaningless for assembly sources.

It is unsafe to use list_for_each_entry_safe() here, because
when we drop the nn->nfs_client_lock, we pin the _current_ list
entry and ensure that it stays in the list, but we don't do the
same for the _next_ list entry. Use of list_for_each_entry() is
therefore the correct thing to do.
Also fix the refcounting in nfs41_walk_client_list().
Finally, ensure that the nfs_client has finished being initialised
and, in the case of NFSv4.1, that the session is set up.

In UP and non-preempt respectively, the spinlocks and preemption
disable/enable points are stubbed out entirely, because there is no
regular code that can ever hit the kind of concurrency they are meant to
protect against.
However, while there is no regular code that can cause scheduling, we
_do_ end up having some exceptional (literally!) code that can do so,
and that we need to make sure does not ever get moved into the critical
region by the compiler.
In particular, get_user() and put_user() is generally implemented as
inline asm statements (even if the inline asm may then make a call
instruction to call out-of-line), and can obviously cause a page fault
and IO as a result. If that inline asm has been scheduled into the
middle of a preemption-safe (or spinlock-protected) code region, we
obviously lose.
Now, admittedly this is *very* unlikely to actually ever happen, and
we've not seen examples of actual bugs related to this. But partly
exactly because it's so hard to trigger and the resulting bug is so
subtle, we should be extra careful to get this right.
So make sure that even when preemption is disabled, and we don't have to
generate any actual *code* to explicitly tell the system that we are in
a preemption-disabled region, we need to at least tell the compiler not
to move things around the critical region.
This patch grew out of the same discussion that caused commits 79e5f05edcbf ("ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq*
functions") and 3e2e0d2c222b ("tile: comment assumption about
__insn_mtspr for <asm/irqflags.h>") to come about.
Note for stable: use discretion when/if applying this. As mentioned,
this bug may never have actually bitten anybody, and gcc may never have
done the required code motion for it to possibly ever trigger in
practice.

Commit fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.
This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.
I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

If a ROC item is canceled just as it expires, the work
struct may be scheduled while it is running (and waiting
for the mutex). This results in it being run after being
freed, which obviously crashes.
To fix this don't free it when aborting is requested but
instead mark it as "to be freed", which makes the work a

The runtime PM of PCIe ports turns out to be quite fragile, as in
some cases things work while in some other cases they don't and we
don't seem to have a good way to determine whether or not they are
going to work in advance.
For this reason, avoid enabling runtime PM for PCIe ports by
keeping their runtime PM reference counters always above 0 for the
time being.
When a PCIe port is suspended, it can no longer report events like
hotplug, so hotplug below the port may not work, as in the bug
report below.

It turns out that the _Lxx control methods provided by some BIOSes
clear the PME Status bit of PCI devices they handle, which means that
pci_acpi_wake_dev() cannot really use that bit to check whether or
not the device has signalled wakeup.
One symptom of the problem is, for example, that when an affected PCI
USB controller is runtime-suspended, then plugging in a new USB device
into one of the controller's ports will not wake up the controller,
which should happen.
For this reason, make pci_acpi_wake_dev() always attempt to resume
the device it is called for regardless of the device's PME Status bit
value (that bit still has to be cleared if set at this point,
though).

Matthew found that 3.8.3 is having problems with an old (ancient)
PCI-to-EISA bridge, the Intel 82375. It worked with the 3.2 kernel.
He identified the 82375, but doesn't assign the struct resource *res
pointer inside the struct eisa_root_device, and panics.
pci_eisa_init() was using bus->resource[] directly instead of
pci_bus_resource_n(). The bus->resource[] array is a PCI-internal
implementation detail, and after commit 45ca9e97 (PCI: add helpers for
building PCI bus resource lists) and commit 0efd5aab (PCI: add struct
pci_host_bridge_window with CPU/bus address offset), bus->resource[] is not
used for PCI root buses any more.
The 82375 is a subtractive-decode PCI device, so handle it the same
way we handle PCI-PCI bridges in subtractive-decode mode in
pci_read_bridge_bases().

The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken"
flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the
result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty
NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave
side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty
pages.
The fix-up feature works roughly like this:
1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image
(see -F option)
2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup
flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot
of time.
3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock.
This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time.
But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O,
and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too
late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it
starts being used.

Some SPI slave devices require asserted chip select signal across
multiple transfer segments of an SPI message. Currently the driver
always de-asserts the internal SS signal for every single transfer
segment of the message and ignores the 'cs_change' flag of the
transfer description. Disable the internal chip select (SS) only
if this is needed and indicated by the 'cs_change' flag.
Without this change, each partial transfer of a surrounding
multi-part SPI transaction might erroneously change the SS
signal, which might prevent slaves from answering the request
that was sent in a previous transfer segment because the
transaction could be considered aborted (SS was de-asserted
before reading the response).

The status of the interrupt is available in the status register,

Since kernel 3.7, it appears that the input registration occured before
the end of magicmouse_setup_input(). This is shown by receiving a lot of
"EV_SYN SYN_REPORT 1" instead of normal "EV_SYN SYN_REPORT 0".
This value means that the output buffer is full, and the user space
is loosing events.
Using .input_configured guarantees that the race is not occuring, and that
the call of "input_set_events_per_packet(input, 60)" is taken into account
by input_register().
commit 92d11594f6 (MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h)
factored some of the bitops code out into a separate file
(arch/mips/lib/bitops.c). Unfortunately the logic converting a bit
mask into a boolean result was lost in some of the functions. We had:
int res;
unsigned long shifted_result_bit;
.
.
.
res = shifted_result_bit;
return res;
Which truncates off the high 32 bits (thus yielding an incorrect
value) on 64-bit systems.
The manifestation of this is that a non-SMP 64-bit kernel will not
boot as the bitmap operations in bootmem.c are all screwed up.

The last register block, which falls into the specified range, is not handled
correctly. The formula which calculates the number of register which should be
synced is inverse (and off by one). E.g. if all registers in that block should
be synced only one is synced, and if only one should be synced all (but one) are
synced. To calculate the number of registers that need to be synced we need to
subtract the number of the first register in the block from the max register
number and add one. This patch updates the code accordingly.

commit 35d48903e97819 (bonding: fix rx_handler locking) added a race
in bonding driver, reported by Steven Rostedt who did a very good
diagnosis :
<quoting Steven>
I'm currently debugging a crash in an old 3.0-rt kernel that one of our
customers is seeing. The bug happens with a stress test that loads and
unloads the bonding module in a loop (I don't know all the details as
I'm not the one that is directly interacting with the customer). But the
bug looks to be something that may still be present and possibly present
in mainline too. It will just be much harder to trigger it in mainline.
In -rt, interrupts are threads, and can schedule in and out just like
any other thread. Note, mainline now supports interrupt threads so this
may be easily reproducible in mainline as well. I don't have the ability
to tell the customer to try mainline or other kernels, so my hands are
somewhat tied to what I can do.
But according to a core dump, I tracked down that the eth irq thread
crashed in bond_handle_frame() here:
slave = bond_slave_get_rcu(skb->dev);
bond = slave->bond; <--- BUG
the slave returned was NULL and accessing slave->bond caused a NULL
pointer dereference.
Which is basically:
dev->rx_handler = NULL;
dev->rx_handler_data = NULL;
And looking at __netif_receive_skb() we have:
rx_handler = rcu_dereference(skb->dev->rx_handler);
if (rx_handler) {
if (pt_prev) {
ret = deliver_skb(skb, pt_prev, orig_dev);
pt_prev = NULL;
}
switch (rx_handler(&skb)) {
My question to all of you is, what stops this interrupt from happening
while the bonding module is unloading? What happens if the interrupt
triggers and we have this:
What protection am I missing in the bond release handler that would
prevent the above from happening?
</quoting Steven>
We can fix bug this in two ways. First is adding a test in
bond_handle_frame() and others to check if rx_handler_data is NULL.
A second way is adding a synchronize_net() in
netdev_rx_handler_unregister() to make sure that a rcu protected reader
has the guarantee to see a non NULL rx_handler_data.
The second way is better as it avoids an extra test in fast path.

As reported by Jan, and others over the past few years, there is a
race condition caused by unix_release setting the sock->sk pointer
to NULL before properly marking the socket as dead/orphaned. This
can cause a problem with the LSM hook security_unix_may_send() if
there is another socket attempting to write to this partially
released socket in between when sock->sk is set to NULL and it is
marked as dead/orphaned. This patch fixes this by only setting
sock->sk to NULL after the socket has been marked as dead; I also
take the opportunity to make unix_release_sock() a void function
as it only ever returned 0/success.
Dave, I think this one should go on the -stable pile.

commit dd8004af: 'regulator: core: Log when a device causes a voltage
constraint fail', tried to print out some information about the
check consumer min/max uV fixup, however, it uses a garbage pointer
left over from list_for_each_entry leading to boot messages in the
form:
Some firmware exhibits a bug where the same VariableName and
VendorGuid values are returned on multiple invocations of
GetNextVariableName(). See,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47631
As a consequence of such a bug, Andre reports hitting the following
WARN_ON() in the sysfs code after updating the BIOS on his, "Gigabyte
Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./Z77X-UD3H, BIOS F19e
11/21/2012)" machine,
There's not much we can do to work around and keep traversing the
variable list once we hit this firmware bug. Our only solution is to
terminate the loop because, as Lingzhu reports, some machines get
stuck when they encounter duplicate names,
> I had an IBM System x3100 M4 and x3850 X5 on which kernel would
> get stuck in infinite loop creating duplicate sysfs files because,
> for some reason, there are several duplicate boot entries in nvram
> getting GetNextVariableName into a circle of iteration (with
> period > 2).
Also disable the workqueue, as efivar_update_sysfs_entries() uses
GetNextVariableName() to figure out which variables have been created
since the last iteration. That algorithm isn't going to work if
GetNextVariableName() returns duplicates. Note that we don't disable
EFI variable creation completely on the affected machines, it's just
that any pstore dump-* files won't appear in sysfs until the next
boot.
[Backported for 3.8-stable. Removed code related to pstore
workqueue but pulled in helper function variable_is_present
from a93bc0c.]
