Drivers shouldn't sleep while holding a spinlock. A previous workaround were to release the spinlock before callinc schedule(). This patch uses a different approach: it just waits for the siano hardware to answer.

To improve performance on DiB7770-devices enabling the current mirror is needed. This patch adds an option to the dib7000p-driver to do that and it creates a separate device-entry in dib0700-device to use those changes on hardware which is using the DiB7770.

The logic in ir_timer_keyup was inverted. In case that values aren't equal, the meaning of the time_is_after_eq_jiffies(ir->keyup_jiffies) is that ir->keyup_jiffies is after the the jiffies or equally that that jiffies are before the the ir->keyup_jiffies which is exactly the situation we want to avoid (that the timeout is in the future) Confusing Eh?

As reported by Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>, double IR events on 2.6.36-rc2 and a DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Express are happening: [ 1351.032084] ir_keydown: i2c IR (FusionHDTV): key down event, key 0x0067, scancode 0x0051 [ 1351.281284] ir_keyup: keyup key 0x0067 ie one key down event and one key up event 250ms later. So, we need to increase the repeat timeout, to avoid this bug to hit. As we're doing it at core, this fix is not needed anymore at dib0700 driver.

As reported by Carlos, Prolink Pixelview SBTVD Hybrid is based on Conexant cx231xx + Fujitsu 86A20S demodulator. However, both shares the same USB ID. So, we need to use USB bcdDevice, in order to properly discover what's the board. We know for sure that bcd 0x100 is used for a dib0700 device, while bcd 0x4001 is used for a cx23102 device. This patch reserves two ranges, the first one from 0x0000-0x3f00 for dib0700, and the second from 0x4000-0x4fff for cx231xx devices. This may need fixes in the future, as we get access to other devices.

When plugging some webcams on ARM, the system crashes. This is because we alloc buffer for an urb through usb_buffer_alloc, the alloced buffer is already in DMA coherent region, so we should set the flag of this urb to URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP, otherwise when we submit this urb, the hcd core will handle this address as an non-DMA address and call dma_map_single/sg to map it. On arm architecture, dma_map_single a DMA coherent address will be catched by a BUG_ON().

Some time a go our customers wrote me about problem with our TV card BeholdTV Columbus. It's PCMCIA TV card for notebook. As I understand v4l has some regression with autodetect address of tuners. I can set incorrect I2C address and had report about detect tuner. No any TV of course. When I set correct tuner type and I2C address of the tuners all works well. Signed-off-by: Beholder Intl. Ltd.

The original code dereferenced "port" before checking it for NULL. I moved the test down below the check. Also I changed the comparisons a little so people wouldn't get confused and think "port" and "buf" were ints instead of pointers. (Probably that's what lead to this issue in the first place.) There is only one caller for this function and it passes non-NULL pointers, so this is essentially a cleanup rather than a bugfix.

We dereference "maskptr" unconditionally at the start of the function and also inside the call to parse_tlist() towards the end of the function. This function is called from store_val_any() and it always passes a non-NULL pointer.

"param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" comes from the user. We should check it so that the copy_from_user() doesn't overflow the buffer. Also further down in the function, we assume that if "param->u.wpa_associate.wpa_ie_len" is set then "abyWPAIE[0]" is initialized. To make that work, I changed the test here to say that if "wpa_ie_len" is set then "wpa_ie" has to be a valid pointer or we return -EINVAL. Oddly, we only use the first element of the abyWPAIE[] array. So I suspect there may be some other issues in this function.

This reverts commit 96d592ed. The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.

Commit 461c3177(into 2.6.36-v3) is put forward to power down phy if no usb cable is connected, but does introduce the two issues below: 1), phy is not into work state if usb cable is connected with PC during poweron, so musb device mode is not usable in such case, follows the reasons: -twl4030_phy_resume is not called, so regulators are not enabled i2c access are not enabled usb mode not configurated 2), The kernel warings[1] of regulators 'unbalanced disables' is caused if poweron without usb cable connected with PC or b-device. This patch fixes the two issues above: -power down phy only if no usb cable is connected with PC and b-device -do phy initialization(via __twl4030_phy_resume) if usb cable is connected with PC(vbus event) or another b-device(ID event) in twl4030_usb_probe. This patch also doesn't put VUSB3V1 LDO into active mode in twl4030_usb_ldo_init until VBUS/ID change detected, so we can save more power consumption than before. This patch is verified OK on Beagle board either connected with usb cable or not when poweron. [1]. warnings of 'unbalanced disables' of regulators.

a) sa_handler might be maliciously set to point to kernel memory; blindly dereferencing it in FDPIC case is a Bad Idea(tm). b) I'm not sure you need that set_fs(USER_DS) there at all, but if you do, you'd better do it *before* checking the frame you've decided to use with access_ok(), lest sigaltstack() becomes a convenient roothole.

Commit 4969c119 ("mm: fix swapin race condition") is now agreed to be incomplete. There's a race, not very much less likely than the original race envisaged, in which it is further necessary to check that the swapcache page's swap has not changed. Here's the reasoning: cast in terms of reuse_swap_page(), but probably could be reformulated to rely on try_to_free_swap() instead, or on swapoff+swapon. A, faults into do_swap_page(): does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and comes through the lock_page(page1). B, a racing thread of the same process, faults on the same address: does page1 = lookup_swap_cache(swap1) and now waits in lock_page(page1), but for whatever reason is unlucky not to get the lock any time soon. A carries on through do_swap_page(), a write fault, but cannot reuse the swap page1 (another reference to swap1). Unlocks the page1 (but B doesn't get it yet), does COW in do_wp_page(), page2 now in that pte. C, perhaps the parent of A+B, comes in and write faults the same swap page1 into its mm, reuse_swap_page() succeeds this time, swap1 is freed. kswapd comes in after some time (B still unlucky) and swaps out some pages from A+B and C: it allocates the original swap1 to page2 in A+B, and some other swap2 to the original page1 now in C. But does not immediately free page1 (actually it couldn't: B holds a reference), leaving it in swap cache for now. B at last gets the lock on page1, hooray! Is PageSwapCache(page1)? Yes. Is pte_same(*page_table, orig_pte)? Yes, because page2 has now been given the swap1 which page1 used to have. So B proceeds to insert page1 into A+B's page_table, though its content now belongs to C, quite different from what A wrote there. B ought to have checked that page1's swap was still swap1.
