commit 4b961180 upstream. ite_dev::rdev is currently initialised in ite_probe() after rc_register_device() returns. If a newly registered device is opened quickly enough, we may enable interrupts and try to use ite_dev::rdev before it has been initialised. Move it up to the earliest point we can, right after calling rc_allocate_device(). Reported-and-tested-by:

commit 21e89afd upstream. It turns out Smart Array logical drives do not support target reset and when the target reset fails, the logical drive will be taken off line. Symptoms look like this: hpsa 0000:03:00.0: Abort request on C1:B0:T0:L0 hpsa 0000:03:00.0: resetting device 1:0:0:0 hpsa 0000:03:00.0: cp ffff880037c56000 is reported invalid (probably means target device no longer present) hpsa 0000:03:00.0: resetting device failed. sd 1:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery sd 1:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): read_block_bitmap: LUN reset is supported though, and is what we should be using. Target reset is also disruptive in shared SAS situations, for example, an external MSA1210m which does support target reset attached to Smart Arrays in multiple hosts -- a target reset from one host is disruptive to other hosts as all LUNs on the target will be reset and will abort all outstanding i/os back to all the attached hosts. So we should use LUN reset, not target reset. Tested this with Smart Array logical drives and with tape drives. Not sure how this bug survived since 2009, except it must be very rare for a Smart Array to require more than 30s to complete a request. Signed-off-by:

commit 6e4468b9 upstream. The patch is used to cancel command when the command isn't acknowledged and a timeout occurs. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 7ed603ec "xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug." That commit papers over a NULL pointer dereference, and this patch fixes the underlying issue that caused the NULL pointer dereference. Signed-off-by:

commit b92cc66c upstream. Software have to abort command ring and cancel command when a command is failed or hang. Otherwise, the command ring will hang up and can't handle the others. An example of a command that may hang is the Address Device Command, because waiting for a SET_ADDRESS request to be acknowledged by a USB device is outside of the xHC's ability to control. To cancel a command, software will initialize a command descriptor for the cancel command, and add it into a cancel_cmd_list of xhci. Sarah: Fixed missing newline on "Have the command ring been stopped?" debugging statement. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 7ed603ec "xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug."

commit c181bc5b upstream. Adding cmd_ring_state for command ring. It helps to verify the current command ring state for controlling the command ring operations. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0. The commit 7ed603ec "xhci: Add an assertion to check for virt_dev=0 bug." papers over the NULL pointer dereference that I now believe is related to a timed out Set Address command. This (and the four patches that follow it) contain the real fix that also allows VIA USB 3.0 hubs to consistently re-enumerate during the plug/unplug stress tests. Signed-off-by:

commit 5af98bb0 upstream. Eric Fu reports a problem with his VIA host controller fetching a zeroed event ring pointer on resume from suspend. The host should have been halted, but we can't be sure because that code ignores the return value from xhci_halt(). Print a warning when the host controller refuses to halt within XHCI_MAX_HALT_USEC (currently 16 seconds). (Update: it turns out that the VIA host controller is reporting a halted state when it fetches the zeroed event ring pointer. However, we still need this warning for other host controllers.)

commit 947ca185 upstream. DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled, the process of this fake report is: kmem_cache_free() //free obj in cachep -> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep's l3 alien lock -> __drain_alien_cache() -> free_block() -> slab_destroy() -> kmem_cache_free() //free slab in cachep->slabp_cache -> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class, fake report generated. This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien. However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache. Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache() on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have them until invoked enable_cpucache() later. This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache() instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report. Michael traced the problem back to a commit in release 3.0.0: commit 30765b92 Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Date: Thu Jul 28 23:22:56 2011 +0200 slab, lockdep: Annotate the locks before using them Fernando found we hit the regular OFF_SLAB 'recursion' before we annotate the locks, cure this.

commit b4338e1e upstream. gsm_data_kick was recently modified to allow messages on the tx queue bound for DLCI0 to flow even during FCOFF conditions. Unfortunately we introduced a bug discovered by code inspection where subsequent list traversers can access freed memory if the DLCI0 messages were not all at the head of the list. Replaced singly linked tx list w/ a list_head and used provided interfaces for traversing and deleting members. Signed-off-by:

commit 5e44708f upstream. There were some locking holes in the management of the MUX's message queue for 2 code paths: 1) gsmld_write_wakeup 2) receipt of CMD_FCON flow-control message In both cases gsm_data_kick is called w/o locking so it can collide with other other instances of gsm_data_kick (pulling messages tx_tail) or potentially other instances of __gsm_data_queu (adding messages to tx_head) Changed to take the tx_lock in these 2 cases Signed-off-by:

commit 10c6c383 upstream. The design of uplink flow control in the mux driver is that for constipated channels data will backup into the per-channel fifos, and any messages that make it to the outbound message queue will still go out. Code was added to also stop messages that were in the outbound queue but this requires filtering through all the messages on the queue for stopped dlcis and changes some of the mux logic unneccessarily. The message fiiltering was removed to be in line w/ the original design as the message filtering does not provide any solution. Extra debug messages used during investigation were also removed.

commit 7e8ac7b2 upstream. In 3GPP27.010 5.8.1, it defined: The TE multiplexer initiates the establishment of the multiplexer control channel by sending a SABM frame on DLCI 0 using the procedures of clause 5.4.1. Once the multiplexer channel is established other DLCs may be established using the procedures of clause 5.4.1. This patch implement 5.8.1 in MUX level, it make sure DLC0 is the first channel to be setup. [or for those not familiar with the specification: it was possible to try and open a data connection while the control channel was not yet fully open, which is a spec violation and confuses some modems] Signed-off-by:

commit 959d1af8 upstream. WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is used to claim ownership of a work item and process_one_work() releases it before starting execution. When someone else grabs PENDING, all pre-release updates to the work item should be visible and all updates made by the new owner should happen afterwards. Grabbing PENDING uses test_and_set_bit() and thus has a full barrier; however, clearing doesn't have a matching wmb. Given the preceding spin_unlock and use of clear_bit, I don't believe this can be a problem on an actual machine and there hasn't been any related report but it still is theretically possible for clear_pending to permeate upwards and happen before work->entry update. Add an explicit smp_wmb() before work_clear_pending(). Signed-off-by:

commit 6d70a74f upstream. The oem parameter image embedded in the efi variable is at an offset from the start of the variable. However, in the failure path we try to free the 'orom' pointer which is only valid when the paramaters are being read from the legacy option-rom space. Since failure to load the oem parameters is unlikely and we keep the memory around in the success case just defer all de-allocation to devm. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit cf9ecf4b ] On the earliest TSO capable devices, TSO was accomplished through firmware. The TSO cannot coexist with ASF management firmware though. The tg3 driver determines whether or not ASF is enabled by calling tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg(), which checks a particular bit of NIC memory. Commit dabc5c67, entitled "tg3: Move TSO_CAPABLE assignment", accidentally moved the code that determines TSO capabilities earlier than the call to tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg(). As a consequence, the driver was attempting to determine TSO capabilities before it had all the data it needed to make the decision. This patch fixes the problem by revisiting and reevaluating the decision after tg3_get_eeprom_hw_cfg() is called. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit c0d680e5 ] A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the ethernet protocol of an sk buff. commit f01a5236 Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate. The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance and increased memory pressure, as reported here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.html The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset recently included in the mm tree: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140 The coraid.com-distributed aoe driver already could use payloads of greater than a page in size, but its users generally do not use the newest kernels.

[ Upstream commit 96af69ea ] mip6_mh_filter() should not modify its input, or else its caller would need to recompute ipv6_hdr() if skb->head is reallocated. Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull() Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 1b05c4b5 ] icmpv6_filter() should not modify its input, or else its caller would need to recompute ipv6_hdr() if skb->head is reallocated. Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull() and change the prototype to make clear both sk and skb are const. Also, if icmpv6 header cannot be found, do not deliver the packet, as we do in IPv4. Signed-off-by:
