When xhci_discover_or_reset_device() is called after a host controller
power loss, the virtual device may need to be reallocated. Make sure
xhci_alloc_dev() uses GFP_NOIO. This avoid causing a deadlock by allowing
the kernel to flush pending I/O while reallocating memory for a virtual
device for a USB mass storage device that's holding the backing store for
dirty memory buffers.

When there's an xHCI host power loss after a suspend from memory, the USB
core attempts to reset and verify the USB devices that are attached to the
system. The xHCI driver has to reallocate those devices, since the
hardware lost all knowledge of them during the power loss.
When a hub is plugged in, and the host loses power, the xHCI hardware
structures are not updated to say the device is a hub. This is usually
done in hub_configure() when the USB hub is detected. That function is
skipped during a reset and verify by the USB core, since the core restores
the old configuration and alternate settings, and the hub driver has no
idea this happened. This bug makes the xHCI host controller reject the
enumeration of low speed devices under the resumed hub.
Therefore, make the USB core re-setup the internal xHCI hub device
information by calling update_hub_device() when hub_activate() is called
for a hub reset resume. After a host power loss, all devices under the
roothub get a reset-resume or a disconnect.

fixed by Andiry's patch before this, by synchronizing the irqs rather than
freeing them on suspend.)
Do not run xhci_cleanup_msix with irq disabled.
This patch should be queued for the 2.6.37 stable tree.
Synchronize the interrupts instead of free them in xhci_suspend(). This will
prevent a double free when the host is suspended and then the card removed.
Set the flag hcd->msix_enabled when using MSI-X, and check the flag in
suspend_common(). MSI-X synchronization will be handled by xhci_suspend(),
and MSI/INTx will be synchronized in suspend_common().

The original code that resumed the USB bus on a port status change would
only do so when there was a device connected to the port. If a device was
just disconnected, the event would be queued for khubd, but khubd wouldn't
run. That would leave the connect status change (CSC) bit set.
If a USB device was plugged into that same port, the xHCI host controller
would set the current connect status (CCS) bit. But since the CSC bit was
already set, it would not generate an interrupt for a port status change
event. That would mean the user could "Safely Remove" a device, have the
bus suspend, disconnect the device, re-plug it in, and then the device
would never be enumerated.
Plugging in a different device on another port would cause the bus to
resume, and khubd would notice the re-connected device. Running lsusb
would also resume the bus, leading users to report the problem "went away"
when using diagnostic tools.
The solution is to resume the bus when a port status change event is
received, regardless of the port status.

Some BIOSs (eg. the AMI BIOS on the Asus P4P800 motherboard) don't
initialise the GART address, and pcibios_assign_resources() can ignore it
because it can be marked as a host bridge (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392#c5 for details). This
was handled correctly up to 2.6.35, but the pci_enable_device() cleanup in
2.6.36 96576a9e1a0cdb8 ("agp: intel-agp: do not use PCI resources before
pci_enable_device()") means that the kernel tries to enable the GART
before assigning it an address; in such cases the GART overlaps with other
device assignments and ends up being disabled.
This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392

Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm. And this window
can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
failures. One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
flushing the TLB for mm1. It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
else.
T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
and can insert new TLB entries. As the page-table pages are
already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
(random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
changed.
Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
can be attributed to this.
Starting with SandyBridge (though possible with earlier hacked BIOSes),
the BIOS may initialise the IGFX as secondary to a discrete GPU. Prior,
it would simply disable the integrated GPU. So we adjust our PCI class
mask to match any DISPLAY_CLASS device.
In such a configuration, the IGFX is not a primary VGA controller and
so should not take part in VGA arbitration, and the error return from
vga_client_register() is expected.

share a common DDC bus.

Currently sysrq_enabled and __sysrq_enabled are initialised separately
and inconsistently, leading to sysrq being actually enabled by reported
as not enabled in sysfs. The first change to the sysfs configurable
synchronises these two:
static int __read_mostly sysrq_enabled = 1;
static int __sysrq_enabled;
Add a common define to carry the default for these preventing them becoming
out of sync again. Default this to 1 to mirror previous behaviour.
Apparently there exist userspace programs that expect to be able to
"loop back" and distribute to readers events written into
/dev/input/eventX and this change made for the benefit of SysRq
handler broke them. Now that SysRq uses alternative method to suppress
filtering of the events it re-injects we can safely revert this change.
Internally 'disable' the filter when re-injecting Alt-SysRq instead
of relying on input core to suppress delivery of injected events
to the originating handler.
This allows to revert commit 5fdbe44d033d059cc56c2803e6b4dbd8cb4e5e39
which causes problems with existing userspace programs trying to
loopback the events via evdev.

The current TPM TIS driver in git discards the timeout values returned
from the TPM. The check of the response packet needs to consider that
the return_code field is 0 on success and the size of the expected
packet is equivalent to the header size + u32 length indicator for the
TPM_GetCapability() result + 3 timeout indicators of type u32.
I am also adding a sysfs entry 'timeouts' showing the timeouts that are
being used.
If duration variable value is 0 at this point, it's because
chip->vendor.duration wasn't filled by tpm_get_timeouts() yet.
This patch sets then the lowest timeout just to give enough
time for tpm_get_timeouts() to further succeed.

md_make_request was calling bio_sectors() for part_stat_add
after it was calling the make_request function. This is
bad because the make_request function can free the bio and
because the bi_size field can change around.
The fix here was suggested by Jens Axboe. It saves the
sector count before the make_request call. I hit this
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC turned on while trying to break
his pretty fusionio card.
When an md device is in the process of coming on line it is possible
for an IO request (typically a partition table probe) to get through
before the array is fully initialised, which can cause unexpected
behaviour (e.g. a crash).
So explicitly record when the array is ready for IO and don't allow IO
through until then.
There is no possibility for a similar problem when the array is going
off-line as there must only be one 'open' at that time, and it is busy
off-lining the array and so cannot send IO requests. So no memory
barrier is needed in md_stop()
This has been a bug since commit 409c57f3801 in 2.6.30 which
introduced md_make_request. Before then, each personality would
register its own make_request_fn when it was ready.
This is suitable for any stable kernel from 2.6.30.y onwards.
commit 589a594be1fb (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem were md_thread would
sometimes call the ->run function at a bad time.
If an error is detected during array start up after the md_thread has
been started, the md_thread is killed. This resulted in the ->run
function being called once. However the array may not be in a state
that it is safe to call ->run.
However the fix imposed meant that ->run was not called on a timeout.
This means that when an array goes idle, bitmap bits do not get
cleared promptly. While the array is busy the bits will still be
cleared when appropriate so this is not very serious. There is no
risk to data.
Change the test so that we only avoid calling ->run when the thread
is being stopped. This more explicitly addresses the problem situation.
This is suitable for 2.6.37-stable and any -stable kernel to which 589a594be1fb was applied.
Commit 1a855a0606 (2.6.37-rc4) fixed a problem where devices were
re-added when they shouldn't be but caused a regression in a less
common case that means sometimes devices cannot be re-added when they
should be.
In particular, when re-adding a device to an array without metadata
we should always access the device, but after the above commit we
didn't.
This patch sets the In_sync flag in that case so that the re-add
succeeds.
This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel to which 1a855a0606 was
applied.
pcmcia_request_irq() and pcmcia_enable_device() are intended
to be called from process context (first function allocate memory
with GFP_KERNEL, second take a mutex). We can not take spin lock
and call them.
It's safe to move spin lock after pcmcia_enable_device() as we
still hold off IRQ until dev->base_addr is 0 and driver will
not proceed with interrupts when is not ready.
We atomically tested and cleared our bit in the cpumask, and yet the
number of cpus left (ie refs) was 0. How can this be?
It turns out commit 54fdade1c3332391948ec43530c02c4794a38172
("generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless") is at fault. It
removes locking from smp_call_function_many and in doing so creates a
rather complicated race.
The problem comes about because:
- The smp_call_function_many interrupt handler walks call_function.queue
without any locking.
- We reuse a percpu data structure in smp_call_function_many.
- We do not wait for any RCU grace period before starting the next
smp_call_function_many.
Imagine a scenario where CPU A does two smp_call_functions back to back,
and CPU B does an smp_call_function in between. We concentrate on how CPU
C handles the calls:
CPU A CPU B CPU C CPU D
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
data from CPU A on list
smp_call_function
smp_call_function_interrupt
walks
call_function.queue sees
(stale) CPU A on list
smp_call_function int
clears last ref on A
list_del_rcu, unlock
smp_call_function reuses
percpu *data A
data->cpumask sees and
clears bit in cpumask
might be using old or new fn!
decrements refs below 0
set data->refs (too late!)
The important thing to note is since the interrupt handler walks a
potentially stale call_function.queue without any locking, then another
cpu can view the percpu *data structure at any time, even when the owner
is in the process of initialising it.
The following test case hits the WARN_ON 100% of the time on my PowerPC
box (having 128 threads does help :)
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#define ITERATIONS 100
static void do_nothing_ipi(void *dummy)
{
}
static void do_ipis(struct work_struct *dummy)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++)
smp_call_function(do_nothing_ipi, NULL, 1);
I tried to fix it by ordering the read and the write of ->cpumask and
->refs. In doing so I missed a critical case but Paul McKenney was able
to spot my bug thankfully :) To ensure we arent viewing previous
iterations the interrupt handler needs to read ->refs then ->cpumask then
->refs _again_.
Thanks to Milton Miller and Paul McKenney for helping to debug this issue.

Now, memory_hotplug_(un)lock() is used for add/remove/offline pages
for avoiding races with hibernation. But this should be held in
online_pages(), too. It seems asymmetric.
There are cases where one has to avoid a race with memory hotplug
notifier and his own local code, and hotplug v.s. hotplug.
This will add a generic solution for avoiding races. In other view,
having lock here has no big impacts. online pages is tend to be
done by udev script at el against each memory section one by one.
Then, it's better to have lock here, too.

Commit 2a48fc0ab242417 ("block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private
mutex") replaced uses of the BKL in the nbd driver with mutex
operations. Since then, I've been been seeing these lock ups:
Instrumenting the nbd module's ioctl handler with some extra logging
clearly shows the NBD_DO_IT ioctl being invoked which is a long-lived
ioctl in the sense that it doesn't return until another ioctl asks the
driver to disconnect. However, that other ioctl blocks, waiting for the
module-level mutex that replaced the BKL, and then we're stuck.
This patch removes the module-level mutex altogether. It's clearly
wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd
driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would
require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.
This fixes parsing of the device invariants (MAC address)
for PCMCIA SSB devices.
ssb_pcmcia_do_get_invariants expects an iv pointer as data

- It doesn't take in account that non printable characters won't

- And last but not least, it triggers a kernel panic if a backspace

Currently, the lockdep annotation in flush_work() requires exclusive

warning if a work is trying to flush another work on the same

execute multiple works concurrently.
This patch adds lock_map_acquire_read() and make process_one_work()
hold read access to the workqueue while executing a work and
start_flush_work() check for write access if concurrnecy level is one
or the workqueue has a rescuer (as only one execution resource - the
rescuer - is guaranteed to be available under memory pressure), and
read access if higher.
This better represents what's going on and removes spurious lockdep

Regression since commit 10389536742c, "firewire: core: check for 1394a
compliant IRM, fix inaccessibility of Sony camcorder":
The camcorder Canon MV5i generates lots of bus resets when asynchronous
requests are sent to it (e.g. Config ROM read requests or FCP Command
write requests) if the camcorder is not root node. This causes drop-
outs in videos or makes the camcorder entirely inaccessible.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=633260
Fix this by allowing any Canon device, even if it is a pre-1394a IRM
like MV5i are, to remain root node (if it is at least Cycle Master
capable). With the FireWire controller cards that I tested, MV5i always
becomes root node when plugged in and left to its own devices.

Commit 7667aa0630407bc07dc38dcc79d29cc0a65553c1 added logic to wait for
the last queue of the group to become busy (have at least one request),
so that the group does not lose out for not being continuously
backlogged. The commit did not check for the condition that the last
queue already has some requests. As a result, if the queue already has
requests, wait_busy is set. Later on, cfq_select_queue() checks the
flag, and decides that since the queue has a request now and wait_busy
is set, the queue is expired. This results in early expiration of the
queue.
This patch fixes the problem by adding a check to see if queue already
has requests. If it does, wait_busy is not set. As a result, time slices
do not expire early.
The queues with more than one request are usually buffered writers.
Testing shows improvement in isolation between buffered writers.

Commit aa45484 ("calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory
is low") noted that watermarks were based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES. To
avoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu
basis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a
threshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and
real value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a
case where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially
causing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better
reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low.
Unfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a
large amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line
bouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines
where counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu
thresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to
what should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy
memory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine
but the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting
all memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and
sleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua's test
case, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least.
To ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is
introduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called
from wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to
sleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really
balanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive
function but limiting how often it is called.
When the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark
functions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time
spent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(),
zone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(),
zone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state().

that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS,
resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed.
This should be applied to v2.6.37-stable.
