Staging: zram: Add a missing GFP_KERNEL specifier in zram_init_device()
The allocation of zram->compress_buffer is misssing a GFP_* specifier.
This is equivalent to GFP_NOWAIT but it is more likely a omission.
Since the allocation just above it uses GFP_KERNEL, there is no reason
to use GFP_NOWAIT here. Therefore, add GFP_KERNEL.
Staging: hv: storvsc: Fix a bug in create_bounce_buffer()
Set the length field of the scatter gather elements correctly when we create
the bounce buffer. When we use the bounce buffer for a "write" operation,
the act of copying to the bounce buffer, correctly deals with this issue.
However, on the "read" side, the current code was not correctly setting
the buffer length. Fix this bug. Note that when we copy from the bounce
buffer (for the read case), the amount we copy is controlled by the original
scatter gather list given to the driver.

When updating the scan mask we have to check the actual scan mask for if the
channel is already enabled, not the matching scan mask from the available
scan masks. The bit will already be set there and as a result the actual
scan mask will not get updated and the channel stays disabled.
Also fix the return value of iio_scan_el_store which would return 1 instead of
the number of bytes written if the channel was already active in the scan mask.
The sw_ring does not properly handle the case where the write pointer already
has wrapped around, the read pointer has not and the remaining buffer space at
the end is enough to fill the read buffer:
In this case the current code will copy all available data to the buffer and
as a result will write beyond the bounds of the buffer and cause a memory
corruption.
To address this issue this patch adds code to calculate the available buffer
space and makes sure that the number of bytes to copy does not exceed this
number. This allows the code which copies the data around to be simplified as
it only has to consider two cases: Read wraps around and read does not wrap
around.

bool :1, uchar :1 or uint :1 could make sense. uchar:1/bool:1 won't save
any space here, because the surrounding fields are either uint or
pointers, so alignment will just add padding.
I try to use int/uint whenever possible because x86 CPUs tend to get
less register false-dependencies when using instructions modifying the
whole register (generated by using int/uint types) rather than only part
of it (uchar/char/bool). I only use char/uchar/bool when there is a
clear wanted space gain.
The reason why I never use the bool type within a structure when I want
a compact representation is that bool takes a whole byte just to
represent one bit:
struct usebitfield {
int a;
unsigned int f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};
struct usebool {
int a;
bool f, g, h, i, j;
int b;
};
struct useboolbf {
int a;
bool f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};
This is because each bool takes one byte, while the bitfields are put in
units of "unsigned int" (or bool for the 3rd struct). So in this
example, we need 5 bytes + 3 bytes alignment for the bool, but only 4
bytes to hold the "unsigned int" unit for the bitfields.
The choice between bool and bitfields must also take into account the
frequency of access to the variable, because bitfields require mask
operations to access the selected bit(s). You will notice that none of
these bitfields are accessed on the tracing fast-path: only in
slow-paths. Therefore, space gain is more important than speed here.
One might argue that I have so few of these fields here that it does not
make an actual difference to go for bitfield or bool. I am just trying
to choose types best suited for their intended purpose, ensuring they
are future-proof and will allow simply adding more fields using the same
type, as needed.
So I guess I'll go for uint :1.

Let's move the NULL buf check to the file "open", where it belongs. The
"open" file operation is the actual interface between lib ring buffer
and the modules using it.
