commit 934ccec4 upstream. In commit c2344f13 (USB: gpio_vbus: add delayed vbus_session calls, 2009-01-24), usb_gadget_vbus_connect() and ...disconnect() were extracted from the interrupt handler, so to allow vbus_session handlers to deal with msleep() calls. This patch takes the approach one step further. USB2.0 specification (7.1.7.3 Connect and Disconnect Signaling) says that the USB system software (shall) provide a debounce interval with a minimum duration of 100 ms, which ensures that the electrical and mechanical connection is stable before software attempts to reset the attached device.

commit 3aa2ae74 upstream. 'ARM: OMAP3: USB: Fix the EHCI ULPI PHY reset issue' (1fcb57d0) created a regression with Beagleboard xM if booting the kernel after running 'usb start' under u-boot. Finishing the reset before calling 'usb_add_hcd' fixes the regression. This is most likely due to usb_add_hcd calling the driver's reset and init functions which expect the hardware to be up and running.

commit 5cbe61c5 upstream. This patch (as1550) fixes a bug in the usb-serial core that affects the ftdi_sio driver and most likely others as well. The core implements suspend and resume routines, but it doesn't store pointers to those routines in the usb_driver structures that it registers, even though it does set those drivers' supports_autosuspend flag. The end result is that when one of these devices is autosuspended, we try to call through a NULL pointer. The patch fixes the problem by setting the suspend and resume method pointers to the appropriate routines in the USB serial core, along with the supports_autosuspend field, in each driver as it is registered. This should be back-ported to all the stable kernels that have the new usb_serial_register_drivers() interface.

Christian Melki authored
commit f9a9111b upstream. We noticed that we were loosing data at speed less than 2400 baud. It turned out our (TI16750 compatible) uart with 64 byte outgoing fifo was truncated to 16 byte (bit 5 sets fifo len) when modifying the fcr reg. The input code still fills the buffer with 64 bytes if I remember correctly and thus data is lost. Our fix was to remove whiping of the fcr content and just add the TRIGGER_1 which we want for latency. I can't see why this would not work on less than 2400 always, for all uarts ... Otherwise one would have to make sure the filling of the fifo re-checks the current state of available fifo size (urrk).

In the event of splits, mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing reference counts whose rules are documented in Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt . The problem occurs with shared memory policies. The vm_op->set_policy increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts. However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count leading to a premature free. This patch removes the damage caused by policy_vma(). With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5 minutes without error. /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

commit 544ecf31 upstream. worker_enter_idle() has WARN_ON_ONCE() which triggers if nr_running isn't zero when every worker is idle. This can trigger spuriously while a cpu is going down due to the way trustee sets %WORKER_ROGUE and zaps nr_running. It first sets %WORKER_ROGUE on all workers without updating nr_running, releases gcwq->lock, schedules, regrabs gcwq->lock and then zaps nr_running. If the last running worker enters idle inbetween, it would see stale nr_running which hasn't been zapped yet and trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE(). Fix it by performing the sanity check iff the trustee is idle. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: "Paul E.

commit 6286d85e upstream. Prevents dereferencing an invalid struct usb_interface pointer. Always delete entry from device list whether or not the rest of the device state cleanup is postponed. The device list uses desc->intf as key, and wdm_open will dereference this key while searching for a matching device.

commit 6b0b79d3 upstream. We cannot dereference a removed USB interface for dev_printk. Use pr_debug instead where necessary. Flush errors are expected if device is unplugged and are therefore best ingored at this point. Move the kill_urbs() call in wdm_release with dev_dbg() for the non disconnect, as we know it has already been called if WDM_DISCONNECTING is set. This does not actually fix anything, but keeps the code more consistent.

commit 484dd30e upstream. This is a longstanding bug, almost unnoticeable when calling persistent_ram_write() for small buffers. But when called for large data buffers, the write routine behaves incorrectly, as the size may never update: instead of clamping the size to the maximum buffer size, buffer_size_add_clamp() returns an error (which is never checked by the write routine, btw). To fix this, we now use buffer_size_add() that actually clamps the size to the max value. Also remove buffer_size_add_clamp(), it is no longer needed.

commit 44d27f7d upstream. On big-endian systems (e.g., Apple PowerBook), trying to use a logitech wireless mouse with the Logitech Unifying Receiver does not work with v3.2 and later kernels. The device doesn't show up in /dev/input. Older kernels work fine. That is because the new hid-logitech-dj driver claims the device. The device arrival notification appears: 20 00 41 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 and we read the report_types bitfield (02 00 00 00) to find out what kind of device it is. Unfortunately the driver only reads the first 8 bits and treats that value as a 32-bit little-endian number, so on a powerpc the report type seems to be 0x02000000 and is not recognized. Even on little-endian machines, connecting a media center remote control (report type 00 01 00 00) with this driver loaded would presumably fail for the same reason. Fix both problems by using get_unaligned_le32() to read all four bytes, which is a little clearer anyway. After this change, the wireless mouse works on Hugo's PowerBook again.

commit 45de6767 upstream. Use the 32-bit compat keyctl() syscall wrapper on Sparc64 for Sparc32 binary compatibility. Without this, keyctl(KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) is liable to malfunction as it uses an iovec array read from userspace - though the kernel should survive this as it checks pointers and sizes anyway. I think all the other keyctl() function should just work, provided (a) the top 32-bits of each 64-bit argument register are cleared prior to invoking the syscall routine, and the 32-bit address space is right at the 0-end of the 64-bit address space. Most of the arguments are 32-bit anyway, and so for those clearing is not required. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com cc: "David S.

commit 9cd75e13 upstream. commit 771dae81 (powerpc/cpuidle: Add cpu_idle_wait() to allow switching of idle routines) implemented cpu_idle_wait() for powerpc. The changelog says: "The equivalent routine for x86 is in arch/x86/kernel/process.c but the powerpc implementation is different.": Unfortunately the changelog is completely useless as it does not tell _WHY_ it is different. Aside of being different the implementation is patently wrong. The rescheduling IPI is async. That means that there is no guarantee, that the other cores have executed the IPI when cpu_idle_wait() returns. But that's the whole purpose of this function: to guarantee that no CPU uses the old idle handler anymore. Use the smp_functional_call() based implementation, which fulfils the requirements.

commit e42fafc2 upstream. The ioc->pfacts member in the IOC structure is getting set to zero following a call to _base_get_ioc_facts due to the memset in that routine. So if the ioc->pfacts was read after a host reset, there would be a NULL pointer dereference. The routine _base_get_ioc_facts is called from context of host reset. The problem in _base_get_ioc_facts is the size of Mpi2IOCFactsReply is 64, whereas the sizeof "struct mpt2sas_facts" is 60, so there is a four byte overflow resulting from the memset. Also, there is memset in _base_get_port_facts using the incorrect structure, it should be "struct mpt2sas_port_facts" instead of Mpi2PortFactsReply.

commit d5e50a51 upstream. When setting the current task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE this can race with a different cpu. The other cpu could set the task state after it inspected it (while it was still TASK_RUNNING) to TASK_RUNNING which would change the state from TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to TASK_RUNNING again. This race was always present in the pfault interrupt code but didn't cause anything harmful before commit f2db2e6c "[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts" which relied on the fact that after setting the task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE the task would really sleep. Since this is not necessarily the case the result may be a list corruption of the pfault_list or, as observed, a use-after-free bug while trying to access the task_struct of a task which terminated itself already. To fix this, we need to get a reference of the affected task when receiving the initial pfault interrupt and add special handling if we receive yet another initial pfault interrupt when the task is already enqueued in the pfault list.
