comedi_auto_config() associates a Comedi minor device number with an
auto-configured hardware device and comedi_auto_unconfig() disassociates
it. Currently, these use the hardware device's private data pointer to
point to some allocated storage holding the minor device number. This
is a bit of a waste of the hardware device's private data pointer,
preventing it from being used for something more useful by the low-level
comedi device drivers. For example, it would make more sense if
comedi_usb_auto_config() was passed a pointer to the struct
usb_interface instead of the struct usb_device, but this cannot be done
currently because the low-level comedi drivers already use the private
data pointer in the struct usb_interface for something more useful.
This patch stops the comedi core hijacking the hardware device's private
data pointer. Instead, comedi_auto_config() stores a pointer to the
hardware device's struct device in the struct comedi_device_file_info
associated with the minor device number, and comedi_auto_unconfig()
calls new function comedi_find_board_minor() to recover the minor device
number associated with the hardware device.

The dma_pte_free_pagetable() function will only free a page table page
if it is asked to free the *entire* 2MiB range that it covers. So if a
page table page was used for one or more small mappings, it's likely to
end up still present in the page tables... but with no valid PTEs.
This was fine when we'd only be repopulating it with 4KiB PTEs anyway
but the same virtual address range can end up being reused for a
*large-page* mapping. And in that case were were trying to insert the
large page into the second-level page table, and getting a complaint
from the sanity check in __domain_mapping() because there was already a
corresponding entry. This was *relatively* harmless; it led to a memory
leak of the old page table page, but no other ill-effects.
Fix it by calling dma_pte_clear_range (hopefully redundant) and
dma_pte_free_pagetable() before setting up the new large page.

In gfs2_trans_add_bh(), gfs2 was testing if a there was a bd attached to the
buffer without having the gfs2_log_lock held. It was then assuming it would
stay attached for the rest of the function. However, without either the log
lock being held of the buffer locked, __gfs2_ail_flush() could detach bd at any
time. This patch moves the locking before the test. If there isn't a bd
already attached, gfs2 can safely allocate one and attach it before locking.
There is no way that the newly allocated bd could be on the ail list,
and thus no way for __gfs2_ail_flush() to detach it.

A high speed control or bulk endpoint may have bInterval set to zero,
which means it does not NAK. If bInterval is non-zero, it means the
endpoint NAKs at a rate of 2^(bInterval - 1).
The xHCI code to compute the NAK interval does not handle the special
case of zero properly. The current code unconditionally subtracts one
from bInterval and uses it as an exponent. This causes a very large
bInterval to be used, and warning messages like these will be printed:
usb 1-1: ep 0x1 - rounding interval to 32768 microframes, ep desc says 0 microframes
This may cause the xHCI host hardware to reject the Configure Endpoint
command, which means the HS device will be unusable under xHCI ports.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain
commit dfa49c4ad120a784ef1ff0717168aa79f55a483a "USB: xhci - fix math in

John's NEC 0.96 xHCI host controller needs a longer timeout for a warm

reset, so extend the hub reset timeout to 800ms to be on the safe side.
If we do have endpoints named like "ep-a" then bEndpointAddress is
counted internally by the gadget framework.
If we do have endpoints named like "ep-1" then bEndpointAddress is
assigned from the digit after "ep-".
If we do have both, then it is likely that after we used up the
"generic" endpoints we will use the digits and thus assign one
bEndpointAddress to multiple endpoints.
This theory can be proofed by using the completely enabled g_multi.
Without this patch, the mass storage won't enumerate and times out
because it shares endpoints with RNDIS.
This patch also adds fills up the endpoints list so we have in total
endpoints 1 to 15 in + out available while some of them are restricted
to certain types like BULK or ISO. Without this change the nokia gadget
won't load because the system does not provide enough (BULK) endpoints

Those rn50 chip are often connected to console remoting hw and load
detection often fails with those. Just don't try to load detect and
report connect.
Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a
NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a
timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous
command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing
the device file).
This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()`
which on return from that function goes and tears down the running
command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular,
`async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by
`do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled
`waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer
regardless, leading to the oops.
Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()`
with `del_timer_sync()`.
When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct
comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct
comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the
hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct
comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver
auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie
to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi
device from the driver, clean it up and free it.
A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the
comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer
associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the
cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from
the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free
it.
Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device`
cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to
ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest
mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to
ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback.
We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past
events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this
barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper().
This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both)
will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.

Implement a new netlink attribute type IFLA_EXT_MASK. The mask
is a 32 bit value that can be used to indicate to the kernel that
certain extended ifinfo values are requested by the user application.
At this time the only mask value defined is RTEXT_FILTER_VF to
indicate that the user wants the ifinfo dump to send information
about the VFs belonging to the interface.
This patch fixes a bug in which certain applications do not have
large enough buffers to accommodate the extra information returned
by the kernel with large numbers of SR-IOV virtual functions.
Those applications will not send the new netlink attribute with
the interface info dump request netlink messages so they will
not get unexpectedly large request buffers returned by the kernel.
Modifies the rtnl_calcit function to traverse the list of net
devices and compute the minimum buffer size that can hold the
info dumps of all matching devices based upon the filter passed
in via the new netlink attribute filter mask. If no filter
mask is sent then the buffer allocation defaults to NLMSG_GOODSIZE.
With this change it is possible to add yet to be defined netlink
attributes to the dump request which should make it fairly extensible
in the future.

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of
some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache.
This patch disables it on the affected CPUs.
The issue is similar to that one of last year:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html
This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another
quirk for newer CPUs.
The performance penalty without the patch depends on the
circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%.
The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same
physical page under different virtual addresses, so different
processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of
PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both
cores of the same compute unit.
More details can be found here:
http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf
CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver.
That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the
just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera).
The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2,
A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the
range of model ids.
On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.

When a journal-less ext4 filesystem is mounted on a read-only block
device (blockdev --setro will do), each remount (for other, unrelated,
flags, like suid=>nosuid etc) results in a series of scary messages
from kernel telling about I/O errors on the device.
This is becauese of the following code ext4_remount():
if (sbi->s_journal == NULL)
ext4_commit_super(sb, 1);
at the end of remount procedure, which forces writing (flushing) of
a superblock regardless whenever it is dirty or not, if the filesystem
is readonly or not, and whenever the device itself is readonly or not.
We only need call ext4_commit_super when the file system had been
previously mounted read/write.

The VDCTRL4 register does not provide the MXS SET/CLR/TOGGLE feature.
The write in mxsfb_disable_controller() sets the data_cnt for the LCD
DMA to 0 which obviously means the max. count for the LCD DMA and
leads to overwriting arbitrary memory when the display is unblanked.
Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter
after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer
from userspace.
The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence:
1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params();
2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the
userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp";
3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new
structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole
userspace buffer there;
4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole
buffer into the pointer "param";
5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it
in the variable "input_param_size";
6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the
kernel buffer.
The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user
memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter
can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it.
This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory.
The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4.
This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is
required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.
The function rb_check_pages() was added to make sure the ring buffer's
pages were sane. This check is done when the ring buffer size is modified
as well as when the iterator is released (closing the "trace" file),
as that was considered a non fast path and a good place to do a sanity
check.
The problem is that the check does not have any locks around it.
If one process were to read the trace file, and another were to read
the raw binary file, the check could happen while the reader is reading
the file.
The issues with this is that the check requires to clear the HEAD page
before doing the full check and it restores it afterward. But readers
require the HEAD page to exist before it can read the buffer, otherwise
it gives a nasty warning and disables the buffer.
By adding the reader lock around the check, this keeps the race from
happening.

The lockdep warning below is in theory correct but it will be in really weird
rare situation that ends up that deadlock since the tcm fc session is hashed
based the rport id. Nonetheless, the complaining below is about rcu callback
that does the transport_deregister_session() is happening in softirq, where
transport_register_session() that happens earlier is not. This triggers the
lockdep warning below. So, just fix this to make lockdep happy by disabling
the soft irq before calling transport_register_session() in ft_prli.
BTW, this was found in FCoE VN2VN over two VMs, couple of create and destroy
would get this triggered.
v1: was enforcing register to be in softirq context which was not righ. See,
http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg03614.html
v2: following comments from Roland&Nick (thanks), it seems we don't have to
do transport_deregister_session() in rcu callback, so move it into ft_sess_free()
but still do kfree() of the corresponding ft_sess struct in rcu callback to
make sure the ft_sess is not freed till the rcu callback.

sata_promise's pdc_hard_reset_port() needs to serialize because it
flips a port-specific bit in controller register that's shared by
all ports. The code takes the ata host lock for this, but that's
broken because an interrupt may arrive on our irq during the hard
reset sequence, and that too will take the ata host lock. With
lockdep enabled a big nasty warning is seen.
Fixed by adding private state to the ata host structure, containing
a second lock used only for serializing the hard reset sequences.
This eliminated the lockdep warnings both on my test rig and on
the original reporter's machine.

When the qla2xxx driver loses access to multiple, remote ports, there is a race
condition which can occur which will keep the request stuck on a scsi request
queue indefinitely.
This bad state occurred do to a race condition with how the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
bit is set in qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and how it is cleared in
qla2x00_do_dpc(). The problem port has its drport pointer set, but it has never
been processed by the driver to inform the fc transport that the port has been
lost. qla2x00_schedule_rport_del() sets drport, and then sets the
FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit. In qla2x00_do_dpc(), the port lists are walked and
any drport pointer is handled and the fc transport informed of the port loss,
then the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is cleared. This leaves a race where the
dpc thread is processing one port removal, another port removal is marked
with a call to qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and the dpc thread clears the
bit for both removals, even though only the first removal was actually
handled. Until another event occurs to set FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED, the later
port removal is never finished and qla2xxx stays in a bad state which causes
requests to become stuck on request queues.
This patch updates the driver to test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
atomically. This ensures the port state changes are processed and not lost.

This patch fixes both the transmit and receive portion of sending
fragmented mutlicast and broadcast packets.
The transmit section was broken because the offset for INTFRAG and
LASTFRAG packets were just miscalculated by IEEE1394_GASP_HDR_SIZE (which
was reserved with skb_push() in fwnet_send_packet).
The receive section was broken because in fwnet_incoming_packet is a call
to fwnet_peer_find_by_node_id(). Called with generation == -1 it will
not find a peer and the partial datagrams are associated to a peer.
[Stefan R: The fix to use context->card->generation is not perfect.
It relies on the IR tasklet which processes packets from the prior bus
generation to run before the self-ID-complete worklet which sets the
current card generation. Alas, there is no simple way of a race-free
implementation. Let's do it this way for now.]

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
all pfn in a pageblock. If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.
Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:
This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
will not set the migratetype for the full block. Fix this by rounding
down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.
For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
visual glitches to application failures.

The check to whom a device is reserved is done by checking the path
state of the affected channel paths. If it turns out that one path is
flagged as reserved by someone else the whole device is marked as such.
However the meaning of the RESVD_ELSE bit is that the addressed device
is reserved to a different pathgroup (and not reserved to a different
LPAR). If we do this test on a path which is currently not a member of
the pathgroup we could erroneously mark the device as reserved to
someone else.
To fix this collect the reserved state for all potential members of the
pathgroup and only mark the device as reserved if all of those potential
members have the RESVD_ELSE bit set.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.
The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().
Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.
The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0 Boot CPU other CPU
proc_P: x==0
timer interrupt
update_vsyscall
x==1 x++;sync settimeofday
update_vsyscall_tz
x==2 x++;sync
x==3 sync;x++
sync;x++
proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)
Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

Since commit e303297e6c3a ("mm: extended batches for generic
mmu_gather") we are batching pages to be freed until either
tlb_next_batch cannot allocate a new batch or we are done.
This works just fine most of the time but we can get in troubles with
non-preemptible kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)
on large machines where too aggressive batching might lead to soft
lockups during process exit path (exit_mmap) because there are no
scheduling points down the free_pages_and_swap_cache path and so the
freeing can take long enough to trigger the soft lockup.
The lockup is harmless except when the system is setup to panic on
softlockup which is not that unusual.
The simplest way to work around this issue is to limit the maximum
number of batches in a single mmu_gather. 10k of collected pages should
be safe to prevent from soft lockups (we would have 2ms for one) even if
they are all freed without an explicit scheduling point.
This patch doesn't add any new explicit scheduling points because it
relies on zap_pmd_range during page tables zapping which calls
cond_resched per PMD.
The following lockup has been reported for 3.0 kernel with a huge
process (in order of hundreds gigs but I do know any more details).
tm_mon is 0..11, whereas vt8500 expects 1..12 for the month field,
causing invalid date errors for January, and causing the day field to
roll over incorrectly.
The century flag is only handled in vt8500_rtc_read_time, but not set in
vt8500_rtc_set_time. This patch corrects the behaviour of the century
flag.

The inb/outb macros for CRIS are broken from a number of points of view,
missing () around parameters and they have an unprotected if statement
in them. This was breaking the compile of IPMI on CRIS and thus I was
being annoyed by build regressions, so I fixed them.
Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values
were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size.
From what I can tell, this stuff is not used at all, so this can't be
any more broken than it was before, anyway.

When updating the page protection map after calculating the user_pgprot

that implement this mitigation MUST add an additional input check to
any incoming segment. The ACK value is considered acceptable only if
it is in the range of ((SND.UNA - MAX.SND.WND) <= SEG.ACK <=

above condition MUST be discarded and an ACK sent back.

We added support for RFC 5961 in latest kernels but TCP fails
to perform exhaustive check of ACK sequence.
We can update our view of peer tsval from a frame that is
later discarded by tcp_ack()
This makes timestamps enabled sessions vulnerable to injection of
a high tsval : peers start an ACK storm, since the victim
sends a dupack each time it receives an ACK from the other peer.
As tcp_validate_incoming() is called before tcp_ack(), we should
not peform tcp_replace_ts_recent() from it, and let callers do it
at the right time.

When gcc inlines a function, it does not mark it with the mcount
prologue, which in turn means that inlined functions are not traced
by the function tracer. But if CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set, then
gcc is allowed not to inline a function that is marked inline.
Depending on the options and the compiler, a function may or may
not be traced by the function tracer, depending on whether gcc
decides to inline a function or not. This has caused several
problems in the pass becaues gcc is not always consistent with
what it decides to inline between different gcc versions.
Some places should not be traced (like paravirt native_* functions)
and these are mostly marked as inline. When gcc decides not to
inline the function, and if that function should not be traced, then
the ftrace function tracer will suddenly break when it use to work
fine. This becomes even harder to debug when different versions of
gcc will not inline that function, making the same kernel and config
work for some gcc versions and not work for others.
By making all functions marked inline to not be traced will remove
the ambiguity that gcc adds when it comes to tracing functions marked
inline. All gcc versions will be consistent with what functions are
traced and having volatile working code will be removed.
Note, only the inline macro when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is set needs
to have notrace added, as the attribute __always_inline will force
the function to be inlined and then not traced.

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of
some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache.
This patch disables it on the affected CPUs.
The issue is similar to that one of last year:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html
This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another
quirk for newer CPUs.
The performance penalty without the patch depends on the
circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%.
The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same
physical page under different virtual addresses, so different
processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of
PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both
cores of the same compute unit.
More details can be found here:

CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver.
That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the
just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera).
The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2,
A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the
range of model ids.
cgroup_create_dir() does weird dancing with dentry refcnt. On
success, it gets and then puts it achieving nothing. On failure, it
puts but there isn't no matching get anywhere leading to the following
oops if cgroup_create_file() fails for whatever reason.
This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0,
that contain commit 69e848c2090aebba5698a1620604c7dccb448684

Sankara reported that the genirq core code fails to adjust the
affinity of an interrupt thread in several cases:
1) On request/setup_irq() the call to setup_affinity() happens before
the new action is registered, so the new thread is not notified.
2) For secondary shared interrupts nothing notifies the new thread to
change its affinity.
3) Interrupts which have the IRQ_NO_BALANCE flag set are not moving
the thread either.
Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation
time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to
the right place. Requires a check in irq_thread_check_affinity for an
existing affinity mask (CONFIG_CPU_MASK_OFFSTACK=y)
It is almost always wrong for NFS to call drop_nlink() after removing a
file. What we really want is to mark the inode's attributes for
revalidation, and we want to ensure that the VFS drops it if we're
reasonably sure that this is the final unlink().
Do the former using the usual cache validity flags, and the latter
by testing if inode->i_nlink == 1, and clearing it in that case.
This also fixes the following warning reported by Neil Brown and
Jeff Layton (among others).
In rare circumstances, nfs_clone_server() of a v2 or v3 server can get
an error between setting server->destory (to nfs_destroy_server), and
calling nfs_start_lockd (which will set server->nlm_host).
If this happens, nfs_clone_server will call nfs_free_server which
will call nfs_destroy_server and thence nlmclnt_done(NULL). This
causes the NULL to be dereferenced.
So add a guard to only call nlmclnt_done() if ->nlm_host is not NULL.
The other guards there are irrelevant as nlm_host can only be non-NULL
if one of these flags are set - so remove those tests. (Thanks to Trond
for this suggestion).
This is suitable for any stable kernel since 2.6.25.
