      [PATCH] USB: disable usb device endpoints in more places · 9dfb0ad1
      David Brownell authored
      This patch touches the most significant places in usbcore
      that need to respond to configuration change events:
      
        - set_interface changes altsettings; affects endpoints
          in both new and old settings (but not other endpoints).
      
        - set_configuration; affects every endpoint
      
      The endpoints get disabled, flushing hardware state
      reliably.  This resolves two FIXMEs here, part of one
      in OHCI (ed_get) and all of one in EHCI (qh_append_tds).
      
      Not many drivers currently use these code paths, but
      now they should start to work properly.

      I got a similar SMP report recently, but without info about
      which clause was failing -- which is a key clue, thanks!!
      
      The COMPLETING state is used only while a QH is being
      scanned for completed TDs.  (Think CPU-0 irq handler.)
      Looking at the handful of places that call the routine
      reporting the BUG(), a couple seem like they could make
      trouble with multiple CPUs in the driver.

      Hmm, so if some other URB gets queued in that window,
      it'll get trashed?  Unlikely .. the clean fix would be
      making the status endpoint have a real URB queue.
      
      I combined your suggested change with two others:
      (a) protect the status-unlink and control completion
          handlers against IRQs [ the cases Duncan noted]
      (b) use mod_timer to retrigger the timer, instead of the
          heavy weight path.

      [PATCH] apply_alternatives() fix · f69ca779
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      There is some assembly code in setup.c which doesn't explicitly set its
      section.  It comes after a C function which is marked __init.  The compiler
      does not reset the section after such C functions.  The assembly code is
      going into .text.init.
      
      That's the wrong section.  We get oopses modprobing sctp and, with Manfred's
      unmap-free-pages debug patch we get oopses modprobing e100.ko.  In
      apply_alternatives().

      [NET]: Fix netdevice unregister races. · ff936f4e
      David S. Miller authored
      We had two major issues when unregistering networking devices.
      1) Even trying to run hotplug asynchronously could deadlock
         if keventd was currently trying to get the RTNL semaphore
         in order to process linkwatch events.
      2) Unregister needs to wait for the last reference to go away
         before the finalization of the unregister can execute.  This
         cannot occur under the RTNL semaphore as this is deadlock
         prone as well.
      
      The solution is to do all of this stuff after dropping the
      RTNL semaphore.  rtnl_lock, if it is about to protect a region
      of code that could unregister network devices, registers a list
      to which unregistered netdevs are attached.  At rtnl_unlock time
      this list is processed to wait for refcounts to drop to zero and
      then finalize the unregister.

      Or in short:  your patch removes some old logic for the "automagic
      interrupt transfer" special casing ... which recently started to
      break that rmmod path.
      
      With automagic, the only time an interrupt urb (like the root hub
      status urb) could legitimately be given back was for unlink.  But
      that unlink doesn't seem to be issued in the same way lately during
      the rmmod paths.  (If they're less bizarre lately, that's good!)

      I changed a couple minor things below ... basically (a) fixing the
      issue Duncan Sands pointed out (always call completions with irqs
      disabled, even if hub driver currently doesn't care), (b) better
      logic to avoid retriggering the timer during shutdown, (c) not
      doing del_timer_sync() while holding that lock, plus (d) a minor
      linewrap fix.
