There was a configuration page timing out during the initial port
enable at driver load time. The port enable would fail, and this would
result in the driver unloading itself, meanwhile the driver was accessing
freed memory in another context resulting in the panic. The fix is to
prevent access to freed memory once the driver had issued the diag reset
which woke up the sleeping port enable process. The routine
_base_reset_handler was reorganized so the last sleeping process woken up was
the port_enable.
The ioc->hba_queue_depth is not properly resized when the controller
firmware reports that it supports more outstanding IO than what can be fit
inside the reply descriptor pool depth. This is reproduced by setting the
controller global credits larger than 30,000. The bug results in an
incorrect sizing of the queues. The fix is to resize the queue_size by
dividing queue_diff by two.
False timeout after hard resets, there were two issues which leads
to timeout.
(1) Panic because of invalid memory access in the broadcast asyn
event processing routine due to a race between accessing the scsi command
pointer from broadcast asyn event processing thread and completing
the same scsi command from the interrupt context.
(2) Broadcast asyn event notifcations are not handled due to events
ignored while the broadcast asyn event is activity being processed
from the event process kernel thread.
In addition, changed the ABRT_TASK_SET to ABORT_TASK in the
broadcast async event processing routine. This is less disruptive to other
request that generate Broadcast Asyn Primitives besides target
reset. e.g clear reservations, microcode download,and mode select.
The "internal device reset complete" event is not supported
for older firmware prior to MPI Rev K We added
a check in the driver so the "internal device reset" event is
ignored for older firmware. When ignored, the tm_busy flag doesn't
get set nor cleared. Without this fix, IO queues would be froozen
indefinetly after the "internal device reset" event, as the "complete" event
never sent to clear the flag.
When zoning end devices, the driver is not sending device
removal handshake alogrithm to firmware. This results in controller
firmware not sending sas topology add events the next time the device is
added. The fix is the driver should be doing the device removal handshake
even though the PHYSTATUS_VACANT bit is set in the PhyStatus of the
event data. The current design is avoiding the handshake when the
VACANT bit is set in the phy status.
Issue:
IR shutdown(sending) and IR shutdown(complete) messages not
listed in /var/log/messages when driver is removed.
The driver needs to issue a MPI2_RAID_ACTION_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWN_INITIATED
request when the driver is unloaded so the IR metadata journal is updated.
If this request is not sent, then the volume would need a "check
consistency" issued on the next bootup if the volume was roamed from one
initiator to another. The current driver supports this feature only when the
system is rebooted, however this also need to be supported if the driver is
unloaded
Fix:
To fix this issue, the driver is going
to need to call the _scsih_ir_shutdown prior to reporting
the volumes missing from the OS, hence the device handles
are still present.
libsas makes use of scsi_schedule_eh() but forgets to clear the
host_eh_scheduled flag in its error handling routine. Because of this,
the error handler thread never gets to sleep; it's constantly awake and
trying to run the error routine leading to console spew and inability to
run anything else (at least on a UP system). The fix is to clear the
flag as we splice the work queue.

Our current handling of medium error assumes that data is returned up
to the bad sector. This assumption holds good for all disk devices,
all DIF arrays and most ordinary arrays. However, an LSI array engine
was recently discovered which reports a medium error without returning
any data. This means that when we report good data up to the medium
error, we've reported junk originally in the buffer as good. Worse,
if the read consists of requested data plus a readahead, and the error
occurs in readahead, we'll just strip off the readahead and report
junk up to userspace as good data with no error.
The fix for this is to have the error position computation take into
account the amount of data returned by the driver using the scsi
residual data. Unfortunately, not every driver fills in this data,
but for those who don't, it's set to zero, which means we'll think a
full set of data was transferred and the behaviour will be identical
to the prior behaviour of the code (believe the buffer up to the error
sector). All modern drivers seem to set the residual, so that should
fix up the LSI failure/corruption case.

The power detector adc offset calibration has to be done
on 4 minutes interval (longcal * pa_skip_count). But the commit
"ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition"
makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on

longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that
it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions.

ath9k supports its own set of virtual wiphys, and it uses
the mac80211 idle notifications to know when a device needs
to be idle or not. We recently changed ath9k to force idle
on driver stop() and on resume but forgot to take into account
ath9k's own virtual wiphy idle states. These are used internally
by ath9k to check if the device's radio should be powered down
on each idle call. Without this change its possible that the
device could have been forced off but the virtual wiphy idle
was left on.

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.
This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.
What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

Some of the devices do not report modem status line changes, or at least we
don't understand the status message, so for those we remove .carrier_raised

set_fan_div() misbehave if, for example, "sensors -s" is called

posix-cpu-timers.c correctly assumes that the dying process does
posix_cpu_timers_exit_group() and removes all !CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD
timers from signal->cpu_timers list.
But, it also assumes that timer->it.cpu.task is always the group
leader, and thus the dead ->task means the dead thread group.
This is obviously not true after de_thread() changes the leader.
After that almost every posix_cpu_timer_ method has problems.
It is not simple to fix this bug correctly. First of all, I think
that timer->it.cpu should use struct pid instead of task_struct.
Also, the locking should be reworked completely. In particular,
tasklist_lock should not be used at all. This all needs a lot of

cpu timers do not work after mt exec.
In theory this change adds another race. The exiting leader can
detach the timers which were attached to the new leader. However,
the window between de_thread() and release_task() is small, we
can pretend that sys_timer_create() was called before de_thread().
In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode()
we have this:
while (leftover) {
...
if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) ||
microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) {
vfree(mc);
break;
}
...
}
if (mc)
vfree(mc);
This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by
just removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be
freed nicely just after we break out of the loop.
There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of
checks for pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree().
That's completely redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with
being passed a NULL pointer. Removing the redundant checks
yields a nice size decrease for the object file.

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.
There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.
The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

idle_balance() drops/retakes rq->lock, leaving the previous task
vulnerable to set_tsk_need_resched(). Clear it after we return
from balancing instead, and in setup_thread_stack() as well, so
no successfully descheduled or never scheduled task has it set.
Need resched confused the skip_clock_update logic, which assumes
that the next call to update_rq_clock() will come nearly immediately
after being set. Make the optimization robust against the waking
a sleeper before it sucessfully deschedules case by checking that
the current task has not been dequeued before setting the flag,
since it is that useless clock update we're trying to save, and
clear unconditionally in schedule() proper instead of conditionally
in put_prev_task().

While separating out BMDMA irq handler from SFF, commit c3b28894
(libata-sff: separate out BMDMA irq handler) incorrectly made
__ata_sff_port_intr() consider an IRQ to be an idle one if the host
state was transitioned to HSM_ST_ERR by ata_bmdma_port_intr().
This makes BMDMA drivers ignore IRQs reporting host bus error which
leads to timeouts instead of triggering EH immediately. Fix it by
making __ata_sff_port_intr() consider the IRQ to be an idle one iff
the state is HSM_ST_IDLE. This is equivalent to adding HSM_ST_ERR to
the "break"ing case but less error-prone.

Thus without the patch, with the boot parameters 'tcb selinux=0', adding
the above 'dont_measure obj_type=var_log_t' rule to the default IMA TCB
measurement policy, would result in nothing being measured. The patch
prevents the default TCB policy from being replaced.

To support xsave properly for the guest the SVM module need
software support for it. As long as this is not present do
not report the xsave as supported feature in cpuid.
As a side-effect this patch moves the bit() helper function
into the x86.h file so that it can be used in svm.c too.
Currently the number of CPUID leaves KVM handles is limited to 40.
My desktop machine (AthlonII) already has 35 and future CPUs will
expand this well beyond the limit. Extend the limit to 80 to make
room for future processors.

The load_mixer_volumes() function, which can be triggered by
unprivileged users via the SOUND_MIXER_SETLEVELS ioctl, is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow. Because the provided "name" argument isn't
guaranteed to be NULL terminated at the expected 32 bytes, it's possible
to overflow past the end of the last element in the mixer_vols array.
Further exploitation can result in an arbitrary kernel write (via
subsequent calls to load_mixer_volumes()) leading to privilege
escalation, or arbitrary kernel reads via get_mixer_levels(). In
addition, the strcmp() may leak bytes beyond the mixer_vols array.
