When the kernel is compiled with preemption enabled, the URB completion handler can run in parallel with the work responsible for waking up the tty layer. If the URB handler sets the EVENT_TTY_WAKEUP bit during the call to tty_port_tty_wakeup() to signal that there is room for additional input, it will be cleared at the end of this call. As a result, TX traffic on the upper layer will be blocked. This can be seen with a kernel configured with CONFIG_PREEMPT, and a fast modem connected with PPP running over a USB CDC-ACM port. Use test_and_clear_bit() instead, which ensures that each wakeup requested by the URB completion code will trigger a call to tty_port_tty_wakeup().

While only the first PHY supports mode switching, the remaining PHYs work in USB host mode. They should support set_mode with mode=USB_HOST instead of failing. This is especially needed now that the USB core does set_mode for all USB ports, which was added in commit b97a3134 ("usb: core: comply to PHY framework").

Commit 2f31a67f ("usb: xhci: Prevent bus suspend if a port connect change or polling state is detected") was intended to prevent ports that were still link training from being forced to U3 suspend state mid enumeration. This solved enumeration issues for devices with slow link training. Turns out some devices are stuck in the link training/polling state, and thus that patch will prevent suspend completely for these devices. This is seen with USB3 card readers in some MacBooks. Instead of preventing suspend, give some time to complete the link training. On successful training the port will end up as connected and enabled. If port instead is stuck in link training the bus suspend will continue suspending after 360ms (10 * 36ms) timeout (tPollingLFPSTimeout). Original patch was sent to stable, this one should go there as well Fixes: 2f31a67f ("usb: xhci: Prevent bus suspend if a port connect change or polling state is detected") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

A suspended SS port in U3 link state will go to U0 when resumed, but can almost immediately after that enter U1 or U2 link power save states before host controller driver reads the port status. Host controller driver only checks for U0 state, and might miss the finished resume, leaving flags unclear and skip notifying usb code of the wake. Add U1 and U2 to the possible link states when checking for finished port resume.

In f_hidg_write() the write_spinlock is acquired before calling usb_ep_queue() which causes a deadlock when dummy_hcd is being used.

Restore the status of ep->stopped in function net2272_dequeue(). When the given request is not found in the endpoint queue the function returns -EINVAL without restoring the state of ep->stopped. Thus the endpoint keeps blocked and does not transfer any data anymore. This fix is only compile-tested, since we do not have a corresponding hardware.

The OUT endpoint normally blocks (NAK) subsequent packets when a short packet was received and returns an incomplete queue entry to the gadget driver. Thereby the gadget driver can detect a short packet when reading queue entries with a length that is not equal to a multiple of packet size. The start_queue() function enables receiving OUT packets regardless of the content of the OUT FIFO. This results in a race: With the current code, it's possible that the "!ep->is_in && (readl(&ep->regs->ep_stat) & BIT(NAK_OUT_PACKETS))" test in start_dma() will fail, then a short packet will be received, and then start_queue() will call stop_out_naking(). That's what we don't want (OUT naking gets turned off while there is data in the FIFO) because then the next driver request might receive a mixture of old and new packets. With the patch, this race can't occur because the FIFO's state is tested after we know that OUT naking is already turned on, and OUT naking is stopped only when both of the conditions are met. This ensures that all received data is delivered to the gadget driver, which can detect a short packet now before new packets are appended to the last short packet.

During a simple no-op (nothing changed) build I saw 39 invocations of the C compiler with the argument "-print-file-name=include". We don't need to call the C compiler 39 times for this--one time will suffice. Let's change NOSTDINC_FLAGS to a simply expanded variable to avoid this since there doesn't appear to be any reason it should be recursively expanded. On my build this shaved ~400 ms off my "no-op" build. Note that the recursive expansion seems to date back to the (really old) commit e8f5bdb0 ("[PATCH] Makefile include path ordering"). It's a little unclear to me if the point of that patch was to switch the variable to be recursively expanded (which it did) or to avoid directly assigning to NOSTDINC_FLAGS (AKA to switch to +=) because someone else (out of tree?) was setting it. I presume later since if the only goal was to switch to recursive expansion the patch would have just removed the ":".

The of_find_device_by_node() takes a reference to the underlying device structure, we should release that reference. The implementation of this semantic code search is: In a function, for a local variable returned by calling of_find_device_by_node(), a, if it is released by a function such as put_device()/of_dev_put()/platform_device_put() after the last use, it is considered that there is no reference leak; b, if it is passed back to the caller via dev_get_drvdata()/platform_get_drvdata()/get_device(), etc., the reference will be released in other functions, and the current function also considers that there is no reference leak; c, for the rest of the situation, the current function should release the reference by calling put_device, this code search will report the corresponding error message. By using this semantic code search, we have found some object reference leaks, such as: commit 11907e9d ("ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: fix object reference leaks in fsl_asoc_card_probe") commit a12085d1 ("mtd: rawnand: atmel: fix possible object reference leak") commit 11493f26 ("mtd: rawnand: jz4780: fix possible object reference leak") There are still dozens of reference leaks in the current kernel code. Further, for the case of b, the object returned to other functions may also have a reference leak, we will continue to develop other cocci scripts to further check the reference leak.

Pull pidfd system call from Christian Brauner: "This introduces the ability to use file descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. For a start these fds can be used to send signals to the processes they refer to. With the ability to use /proc/<pid> fds as stable handles on struct pid we can fix a long-standing issue where after a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. With this patchset we enable a variety of use cases. One obvious example is that we can now safely delegate an important part of process management - sending signals - to processes other than the parent of a given process by sending file descriptors around via scm rights and not fearing that the given process will have been recycled in the meantime. It also allows for easy testing whether a given process is still alive or not by sending signal 0 to a pidfd which is quite handy. There has been some interest in this feature e.g. from systems management (systemd, glibc) and container managers. I have requested and gotten comments from glibc to make sure that this syscall is suitable for their needs as well. In the future I expect it to take on most other pid-based signal syscalls. But such features are left for the future once they are needed. This has been sitting in linux-next for quite a while and has not caused any issues. It comes with selftests which verify basic functionality and also test that a recycled pid cannot be signaled via a pidfd. Jon has written about a prior version of this patchset. It should cover the basic functionality since not a lot has changed since then: https://lwn.net/Articles/773459/ The commit message for the syscall itself is extensively documenting the syscall, including it's functionality and extensibility" * tag 'pidfd-v5.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: selftests: add tests for pidfd_send_signal() signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams: "New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other "reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to the core-mm as "System RAM". Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be used to restore the memory assignment. One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution / administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that lack security capable NVDIMMs. Summary: - Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI. - Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range - Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax address-range to the core-mm. - Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis" NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some (not described) circumstances. And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for the user space tooling. Quoting Dan from another email: "The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2. I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active application coordination" * tag 'devdax-for-5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: "Hotplug" persistent memory for use like normal RAM mm/resource: Let walk_system_ram_range() search child resources mm/memory-hotplug: Allow memory resources to be children mm/resource: Move HMM pr_debug() deeper into resource code mm/resource: Return real error codes from walk failures device-dax: Add a 'modalias' attribute to DAX 'bus' devices device-dax: Add a 'target_node' attribute device-dax: Auto-bind device after successful new_id acpi/nfit, device-dax: Identify differentiated memory with a unique numa-node device-dax: Add /sys/class/dax backwards compatibility device-dax: Add support for a dax override driver device-dax: Move resource pinning+mapping into the common driver device-dax: Introduce bus + driver model device-dax: Start defining a dax bus model device-dax: Remove multi-resource infrastructure device-dax: Kill dax_region base device-dax: Kill dax_region ida
