      powerpc/irq: Don't switch to irq stack from softirq stack · 8b5ede69
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      irq_exit() is now called on the irq stack, which can trigger a switch to
the softirq stack from the irq stack.  If an interrupt happens at that
point, we will not properly detect the re-entrancy and clobber the
original return context on the irq stack.

This fixes it.  The side effect is to prevent all nesting from softirq
stack to irq stack even in the "safe" case but it's simpler that way and
matches what x86_64 does.

      HID: wiimote: fix FF deadlock · f50f9aab
      David Herrmann authored 
      The input core has an internal spinlock that is acquired during event
injection via input_event() and friends but also held during FF callbacks.
That means, there is no way to share a lock between event-injection and FF
handling. Unfortunately, this is what is required for wiimote state
tracking and what we do with state.lock and input->lock.

This deadlock can be triggered when using continuous data reporting and FF
on a wiimote device at the same time. I takes me at least 30m of
stress-testing to trigger it but users reported considerably shorter
times (http://bpaste.net/show/132504/) when using some gaming-console
emulators.

The real problem is that we have two copies of internal state, one in the
wiimote objects and the other in the input device. As the input-lock is
not supposed to be accessed from outside of input-core, we have no other
chance than offloading FF handling into a worker. This actually works
pretty nice and also allows to implictly merge fast rumble changes into a
single request.

Due to the 3-layered workers (rumble+queue+l2cap) this might reduce FF
responsiveness. Initial tests were fine so lets fix the race first and if
it turns out to be too slow we can always handle FF out-of-band and skip
the queue-worker.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target fixes queued up for v3.12-rc4 code.

  The highlights include:

   - Make vhost/scsi tag percpu_ida_alloc() use GFP_ATOMIC
   - Allow sess_cmd_map allocation failure fallback to use vzalloc
   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE se_cmd->data_length bug with FILEIO backends
   - Fixes for COMPARE_AND_WRITE callback recursive failure OOPs + non
     zero scsi_status bug
   - Make iscsi-target do acknowledgement tag release from RX context
   - Setup iscsi-target with extra (cmdsn_depth / 2) percpu_ida tags

  Also included is a iscsi-target patch CC'ed for v3.10+ that avoids
  legacy wait_for_task=true release during fast-past StatSN
  acknowledgement, and two other SRP target related patches that address
  long-standing issues that are CC'ed for v3.3+.

  Extra thanks to Thomas Glanzmann for his testing feedback with
  COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY VAAI logic"

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
  iscsi-target; Allow an extra tag_num / 2 number of percpu_ida tags
  iscsi-target: Perform release of acknowledged tags from RX context
  iscsi-target: Only perform wait_for_tasks when performing shutdown
  target: Fail on non zero scsi_status in compare_and_write_callback
  target: Fix recursive COMPARE_AND_WRITE callback failure
  target: Reset data_length for COMPARE_AND_WRITE to NoLB * block_size
  ib_srpt: always set response for task management
  target: Fall back to vzalloc upon ->sess_cmd_map kzalloc failure
  vhost/scsi: Use GFP_ATOMIC with percpu_ida_alloc for obtaining tag
  ib_srpt: Destroy cm_id before destroying QP.
  target: Fix xop->dbl assignment in target_xcopy_parse_segdesc_02
