commit 57fc2e33 upstream. Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe. A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations() in the case when scsi_restart_operations() issues i/o to other devices in the sas domain. When this happens the host state transitions from SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and ->host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though ->host_eh_scheduled is active. Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through eh. Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task timeouts.

commit 940f5d47 upstream. When we call scsi_unprep_request() the command associated with the request gets destroyed and therefore drops its reference on the device. If this was the only reference, the device may get released and we end up with a NULL pointer deref when we call blk_requeue_request.

commit 67bd9413 upstream. Use blk_queue_dead() to test whether the queue is dead instead of !sdev. Since scsi_prep_fn() may be invoked concurrently with __scsi_remove_device(), keep the queuedata (sdev) pointer in __scsi_remove_device(). This patch fixes a kernel oops that can be triggered by USB device removal. See also http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg56254.html. Other changes included in this patch: - Swap the blk_cleanup_queue() and kfree() calls in scsi_host_dev_release() to make that code easier to grasp. - Remove the queue dead check from scsi_run_queue() since the queue state can change anyway at any point in that function where the queue lock is not held. - Remove the queue dead check from the start of scsi_request_fn() since it is redundant with the scsi_device_online() check.

commit 9e76e6d0 upstream. Turn on the pin widget's PIN_OUT bit from playback prepare. The pin is enabled in open, but is disabled in hdmi_init_pin which is called during system resume. This causes a system suspend/resume during playback to mute HDMI/DP. Enabling the pin in prepare instead of open allows calling snd_pcm_prepare after a system resume to restore audio.

commit 65758202 upstream. Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

commit f1b00f4d upstream. Commit d83579e2 incorporated some changes from the vendor driver that made it newly important that the calculated hardware version correctly include the CHIP_92D bit, as all of the IS_92D_* macros were changed to depend on it. However, this bit was being unset for dual-mac, dual-phy devices. The vendor driver behavior was modified to not do this, but unfortunately this change was not picked up along with the others. This caused scanning in the 2.4GHz band to be broken, and possibly other bugs as well. This patch brings the version calculation logic in parity with the vendor driver in this regard, and in doing so fixes the regression. However, the version calculation code in general continues to be largely incoherent and messy, and needs to be cleaned up.

commit 0008204f upstream. The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

commit b7fc7f37 upstream. It's possible for an initiator to send us an UNMAP command with a descriptor that is less than 8 bytes; in that case it's really bad for us to set an unsigned int to that value, subtract 8 from it, and then use that as a limit for our loop (since the value will wrap around to a huge positive value). Fix this by making size be signed and only looping if size >= 16 (ie if we have at least a full descriptor available). Also remove offset as an obfuscated name for the constant 8.

commit c9fc3f77 upstream. Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system. So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only system-wide. This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on the BSP: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload ... and disable the interface on the other cores: $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes simultaneously. A more generic fix will follow.

commit 443772d4 upstream. If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out of suspended state, on some machines). This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c (ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6 (tracing: allow tracing of suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions, suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled. So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

commit 31bde1ce upstream. A "usb0" interface that has never been connected to a host has an unknown operstate, and therefore the IFF_RUNNING flag is (incorrectly) asserted when queried by ifconfig, ifplugd, etc. This is a result of calling netif_carrier_off() too early in the probe function; it should be called after register_netdev(). Similar problems have been fixed in many other drivers, e.g.: e826eafa (bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after register_netdevice) 0d672e9f (drivers/net: Call netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe) 6a3c869a (cxgb4: fix reported state of interfaces without link) Fix is to move netif_carrier_off() to the end of the function.

commit eb2dc35d upstream. The 8168evl (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34) based Gigabyte GA-990FXA motherboards are very prone to NETDEV watchdog problems without this change. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42899 for instance. I don't know why it *works*. It's depressingly effective though. For the record: - the problem may go along IOMMU (AMD-Vi) errors but it really looks like a red herring. - the patch sets the RX_MULTI_EN bit. If the 8168c doc is any guide, the chipset now fetches several Rx descriptors at a time. - long ago the driver ignored the RX_MULTI_EN bit. e542a226 changed the RxConfig settings. Whatever the problem it's now labeled a regression. - Realtek's own driver can identify two different 8168evl devices (CFG_METHOD_16 and CFG_METHOD_17) where the r8169 driver only sees one. It sucks.

commit 80b3e557 upstream. Despite lots of investigation into why this is needed we don't know or have an elegant cure. The only answer found on this laptop is to mark a problem region as used so that Linux doesn't put anything there. Currently all the users add reserve= command lines and anyone not knowing this needs to find the magic page that documents it. Automate it instead.

commit 380e99fc upstream. The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board. Since the destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at compile time; this was both wrong and redundant. The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

commit 5aaa0b7a upstream. Follow up on commit 556061b0 ("sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations") since while that fixed the busy case it regressed the mostly idle case. Add a callback from the nohz exit to also age the rq->cpu_load[] array. This closes the hole where either there was no nohz load balance pass during the nohz, or there was a 'significant' amount of idle time between the last nohz balance and the nohz exit. So we'll update unconditionally from the tick to not insert any accidental 0 load periods while busy, and we try and catch up from nohz idle balance and nohz exit. Both these are still prone to missing a jiffy, but that has always been the case.

commit 556061b0 upstream. While investigating why the load-balancer did funny I found that the rq->cpu_load[] tables were completely screwy.. a bit more digging revealed that the updates that got through were missing ticks followed by a catchup of 2 ticks. The catchup assumes the cpu was idle during that time (since only nohz can cause missed ticks and the machine is idle etc..) this means that esp. the higher indices were significantly lower than they ought to be. The reason for this is that its not correct to compare against jiffies on every jiffy on any other cpu than the cpu that updates jiffies. This patch cludges around it by only doing the catch-up stuff from nohz_idle_balance() and doing the regular stuff unconditionally from the tick.
