commit 3b3e0efb upstream. qi->tqi_readyTime is written directly to registers that expect microseconds as unit instead of TU. When setting the CABQ ready time, cur_conf->beacon_interval is in TU, so convert it to microseconds before passing it to ath9k_hw. This should hopefully fix some Tx DMA issues with buffered multicast frames in AP mode. Signed-off-by:

commit af5040da upstream. trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output of blkparser: C R 232 + 240 [0] C R 240 + 232 [0] C R 248 + 224 [0] C R 256 + 216 [0] but should be: C R 232 + 8 [0] C R 240 + 8 [0] C R 248 + 8 [0] C R 256 + 8 [0] Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and final throughput will be incorrect. This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and fixes wrong completion accounting. Signed-off-by:

commit 48e8ac29 upstream. With recent changes it is possible for the timer handler to detect an idle interface and not start the timer, but the thread to start an operation at the same time. The thread will not start the timer in that instance, resulting in the timer not running. Instead, move all timer operations under the lock and start the timer in the thread if it detect non-idle and the timer is not already running. Moving under locks allows the last timeout to be set in both the thread and the timer. 'Timer is not running' means that the timer is not pending and smi_timeout() is not running. So we need a flag to detect this correctly. Also fix a few other timeout bugs: setting the last timeout when the interrupt has to be disabled and the timer started, and setting the last timeout in check_start_timer_thread possibly racing with the timer Signed-off-by:

commit cbfbbabb upstream. The version of the drm_tegra_submit structure that was merged all the way back in 3.10 contains a pad field that was originally intended to properly pad the following __u64 field. Unfortunately it seems like a different field was dropped during review that caused this padding to become unnecessary, but the pad field wasn't removed at that time. One possible side-effect of this is that since the __u64 following the pad is now no longer properly aligned, the compiler may (or may not) introduce padding itself, which results in no predictable ABI. Rectify this by removing the pad field so that all fields are again naturally aligned. Technically this is breaking existing userspace ABI, but given that there aren't any (released) userspace drivers that make use of this yet, the fallout should be minimal.

commit 53974e06 upstream. The topology_##name() macro does not use its argument when CONFIG_SMP is not set, as it ultimately calls the cpu_data() macro. So we avoid maintaining a possibly unused `cpu' variable, to avoid the following compilation warning: drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_physical_package_id’: drivers/base/topology.c:103:118: warning: unused variable ‘cpu’ [-Wunused-variable] define_id_show_func(physical_package_id); drivers/base/topology.c: In function ‘show_core_id’: drivers/base/topology.c:106:106: warning: unused variable ‘cpu’ [-Wunused-variable] define_id_show_func(core_id); This can be seen with e.g. x86 defconfig and CONFIG_SMP not set.

commit 22bbd5d9 upstream. BIT_WORD() truncates rather than rounds, so the loops in syncpt_thresh_isr() and _host1x_intr_disable_all_syncpt_intrs() use <= rather than < in an attempt to process the correct number of registers when rounding of the conversion of count of bits to count of words is necessary. However, when rounding isn't necessary because the value is already a multiple of the divisor (as is the case for all values of nb_pts the code actually sees), this causes one too many registers to be processed. Solve this by using and explicit DIV_ROUND_UP() call, rather than BIT_WORD(), and comparing with < rather than <=. Fixes: 7ede0b0b ("gpu: host1x: Add syncpoint wait and interrupts") Signed-off-by:

commit 29c77870 upstream. David Vrabel identified a regression when using automatic NUMA balancing under Xen whereby page table entries were getting corrupted due to the use of native PTE operations. Quoting him Xen PV guest page tables require that their entries use machine addresses if the preset bit (_PAGE_PRESENT) is set, and (for successful migration) non-present PTEs must use pseudo-physical addresses. This is because on migration MFNs in present PTEs are translated to PFNs (canonicalised) so they may be translated back to the new MFN in the destination domain (uncanonicalised). pte_mknonnuma(), pmd_mknonnuma(), pte_mknuma() and pmd_mknuma() set and clear the _PAGE_PRESENT bit using pte_set_flags(), pte_clear_flags(), etc. In a Xen PV guest, these functions must translate MFNs to PFNs when clearing _PAGE_PRESENT and translate PFNs to MFNs when setting _PAGE_PRESENT. His suggested fix converted p[te|md]_[set|clear]_flags to using paravirt-friendly ops but this is overkill. He suggested an alternative of using p[te|md]_modify in the NUMA page table operations but this is does more work than necessary and would require looking up a VMA for protections. This patch modifies the NUMA page table operations to use paravirt friendly operations to set/clear the flags of interest. Unfortunately this will take a performance hit when updating the PTEs on CONFIG_PARAVIRT but I do not see a way around it that does not break Xen. Signed-off-by:

commit a2ff864b upstream. The code in hcd-pci.c that matches up EHCI controllers with their companion UHCI or OHCI controllers assumes that the private drvdata fields don't get set too early. However, it turns out that this field gets set by usb_create_hcd(), before hcd-pci expects it, and this can result in a crash when two controllers are probed in parallel (as can happen when a new controller card is hotplugged). The companions_rwsem lock was supposed to prevent this sort of thing, but usb_create_hcd() is called outside the scope of the rwsem. A simple solution is to check that the root-hub pointer has been initialized as well as the drvdata field. This doesn't happen until usb_add_hcd() is called; that call and the check are both protected by the rwsem. This patch should be applied to stable kernels from 3.10 onward. Signed-off-by:

commit bd73bd88 upstream. Fix regression introduced by commit 8e493ca1 ("USB: usb_wwan: fix bulk-urb allocation") by making sure to require both bulk-in and out endpoints during port probe. The original option driver (which usb_wwan is based on) was written under the assumption that either endpoint could be missing, but evidently this cannot have been tested properly. Specifically, it would handle opening a device without bulk-in (but would blow up during resume which was implemented later), but not a missing bulk-out in write() (although it is handled in some places such as write_room()). Fortunately (?), the driver also got the test for missing endpoints wrong so the urbs were in fact always allocated, although they would be initialised using the wrong endpoint address (0) and any submission of such an urb would fail. The commit mentioned above fixed the test for missing endpoints but thereby exposed the other bugs which would now generate null-pointer exceptions rather than failed urb submissions. The regression was introduced in v3.7, but the offending commit was also marked for stable. Reported-by:

commit e79323bd upstream. smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier. In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the following way: * the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the body of the for loop * the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count * the cpu fetches map->nr_extents * the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the instructions in the body of the for loop The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier to prevent it. Signed-off-by:

commit cc6ca302 upstream. This reverts commit e3a8786c. While this commit allows to use the mvneta driver as a module on some configurations, it breaks other configurations even if mvneta is used built-in. This breakage is due to the fact that on some RGMII platforms, the PCS bit has to be set, and on some other platforms, it has to be cleared. At the moment, we lack informations to know exactly the significance of this bit (the datasheet only says "enables PCS"), and so we can't produce a patch that will work on all platforms at this point. And since this change is breaking the network completely for many users, it's much better to revert it for now. We'll come back later with a proper fix that takes into account all platforms. Basically: * Armada XP GP is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be set. * Armada 370 Mirabox is configured as RGMII-ID, and needs the PCS bit to be cleared. And at the moment, we don't know how to make the distinction between those two cases. One hint is that the Armada XP GP appears in fact to be using a QSGMII connection with the PHY (Quad-SGMII), but configuring it as SGMII doesn't work, while RGMII-ID works. This needs more investigation, but in the mean time, let's unbreak the network for all those users. Signed-off-by:

commit 115b943a upstream. Jouni reported that when doing off-channel transmissions mixed with on-channel transmissions, the on-channel ones ended up on the off-channel in some cases. The reason for that is that during the refactoring of the off- channel code, I lost the part that stopped all activity and as a consequence the on-channel frames (including data frames) were no longer queued but would be transmitted on the temporary channel. Fix this by simply restoring the lost activity stop call. Fixes: 2eb278e0 ("mac80211: unify SW/offload remain-on-channel") Reported-by:

commit 2c42be2d upstream. ft_del_tpg checks tpg->tport is set before unlinking the tpg from the tport when the tpg is being removed. Set this pointer in ft_tport_create, or the unlinking won't happen in ft_del_tpg and tport->tpg will reference a deleted object. This patch sets tpg->tport in ft_tport_create, because that's what ft_del_tpg checks, and is the only way to get back to the tport to clear tport->tpg. The bug was occuring when: - lport created, tport (our per-lport, per-provider context) is allocated. tport->tpg = NULL - tpg created - a PRLI is received. ft_tport_create is called, tpg is found and tport->tpg is set - tpg removed. ft_tpg is freed in ft_del_tpg. Since tpg->tport was not set, tport->tpg is not cleared and points at freed memory - Future calls to ft_tport_create return tport via first conditional, instead of searching for new tpg by calling ft_lport_find_tpg. tport->tpg is still invalid, and will access freed memory. see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1071340Signed-off-by:

commit b3b42ac2 upstream. The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 32-bit mode. Since 16-bit support is somewhat crippled anyway on a 64-bit kernel (no V86 mode), and most (if not quite all) 64-bit processors support virtualization for the users who really need it, simply reject attempts at creating a 16-bit segment when running on top of a 64-bit kernel.
