commit 88bf6d62 upstream. A return value of 1 is interpreted as an error. See pci_driver. in local_pci_probe(). If you're wondering how this ever could have worked, it's because it used to be the case that only return values less than zero were interpreted as failure. But even in the current kernel if the driver registers its various entry points with the kernel, and then returns a value which is interpreted as failure, those registrations aren't undone, so the driver still mostly works. However, the driver's remove function wouldn't be called on rmmod, and pci power management functions wouldn't work. In the case of Smart Array, since it has a battery backed cache (or else no cache) even if the driver is not shut down properly as long as there is no outstanding i/o, nothing too bad happens, which is why it took so long to notice. Requesting backport to stable because the change to pci-driver.c which requires driver probe functions to return 0 occurred between 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 (the pci power management breakage) and again between 3.7 and 3.8 (pci_dev->driver getting set to NULL in local_pci_probe() preventing driver remove function from being called on rmmod.)

commit 2e311fba upstream. We inadvertantly discarded the scsi status for aborted commands. For some commands (e.g. reads from tape drives) these can't be retried, and if we discarded the scsi status, the scsi mid layer couldn't notice anything was wrong and the error was not reported.

commit ae5fbae0 upstream. Since commit 110dd8f1 "[SCSI] libsas: fix scr_read/write users and update the libata documentation" we have been passing pmp=1 and is_cmd=0 to ata_tf_to_fis(). Praveen reports that eSATA attached drives do not discover correctly. His investigation found that the BIOS was passing pmp=0 while Linux was passing pmp=1 and failing to discover the drives. Update libsas to follow the libata example of pulling the pmp setting from the ata_link and correct is_cmd to be 1 since all tf's submitted through ->qc_issue are commands. Presumably libsas lldds do not care about is_cmd as they have sideband mechanisms to perform link management. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=138179681726990 [jejb: checkpatch fix] Signed-off-by:

commit a1470c7b upstream. Bug report from: wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com The issue is happened in dual controller configuration. We got the sysfs warnings when rmmod the ipr module. enclosure_unregister() in drivers/msic/enclosure.c, call device_unregister() for each componment deivce, device_unregister() ->device_del()->kobject_del() ->sysfs_remove_dir(). In sysfs_remove_dir(), set kobj->sd = NULL. For each componment device, enclosure_component_release()->enclosure_remove_links()->sysfs_remove_link() in which checking kobj->sd again, it has been set as NULL when doing device_unregister. So we saw all these sysfs WARNING. Tested-by: wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by:

commit e35d46ad upstream. The c_can driver contians a callpath (c_can_poll -> c_can_state_change -> c_can_get_berr_counter) which may call pm_runtime_get_sync() from the IRQ handler, which is not allowed and results in "BUG: scheduling while atomic". This problem is fixed by introducing __c_can_get_berr_counter, which will not call pm_runtime_get_sync(). Reported-by:

commit 2fea6cd3 upstream. This patch fixes the issue that the sja1000_interrupt() function may have returned IRQ_NONE without processing the optional pre_irq() and post_irq() function before. Further the irq processing counter 'n' is moved to the end of the while statement to return correct IRQ_[NONE|HANDLED] values at error conditions. Reported-by:

commit b0d8d229 upstream. The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); if (!--pipe->files) { inode->i_pipe = NULL; kill = 1; } spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); __pipe_unlock(pipe); if (kill) free_pipe_info(pipe); where the final freeing is done last. HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the "pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)". This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing things down. Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final "spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long to figure out. Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock (we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this pattern, create a helper function for it. Introduced commit ba5bb147 ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex"). Reported-by:

commit b6dda00c upstream. The Armada XP provides a mechanism called "virtual CPU registers" or "per-CPU register banking", to access the per-CPU registers of the current CPU, without having to worry about finding on which CPU we're running. CPU0 has its registers at 0x21800, CPU1 at 0x21900, CPU2 at 0x21A00 and CPU3 at 0x21B00. The virtual registers accessing the current CPU registers are at 0x21000. However, in the Device Tree node that provides the register addresses for the coherency unit (which is responsible for ensuring coherency between processors, and I/O coherency between processors and the DMA-capable devices), a mistake was made: the CPU0-specific registers were specified instead of the virtual CPU registers. This means that the coherency barrier needed for I/O coherency was not behaving properly when executed from a CPU different from CPU0. This patch fixes that by using the virtual CPU registers.

commit 58e7b1d5 upstream. With some devices, transfer hangs during I2C frame transmission. This issue disappears when reducing the internal frequency of the TWI IP. Even if it is indicated that internal clock max frequency is 66MHz, it seems we have oversampling on I2C signals making TWI believe that a transfer in progress is done. This fix has no impact on the I2C bus frequency. Signed-off-by:

commit 41da8b5a upstream. The scatterwalk_crypto_chain function invokes the scatterwalk_sg_chain function to chain two scatterlists, but the chain pointer indication bit is not set. When the resulting scatterlist is used, for example, by sg_nents to count the number of scatterlist entries, a segfault occurs because sg_nents does not follow the chain pointer to the chained scatterlist.

commit d59915d0 upstream. By trial and error, I found this patch could work around an issue where the headset mic would stop working if you switch between the internal mic and the headset mic, and the internal mic was muted. It still takes a second or two before the headset mic actually starts working, but still better than nothing. Information update from Kailang: The verb was ADC digital mute(bit 6 default 1). Switch internal mic and headset mic will run alc_headset_mode_default. The coef index 0x11 will set to 0x0041. Because headset mode was fixed type. It doesn't need to run alc_determine_headset_type. So, the value still keep 0x0041. ADC was muted. BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256840Signed-off-by:

commit 6ddf0fd1 upstream. The recent kernels got regressions on ASUS W7J with ALC660 codec where no sound comes out. After a long debugging session, we found out that setting the pin control on the unused NID 0x10 is mandatory for the outputs. And, it was found out that another magic of NID 0x0f that is required for other ASUS laptops isn't needed on this machine.

commit 3e71985f upstream. The values were taken from the HDMI spec, but they assumed exact x/1.001 clocks. Since we round the clocks, we also need to calculate different N and CTS values. Note that the N for 25.2/1.001 MHz at 44.1 kHz audio is out of spec.

commit a97ad0c4 upstream. The current code requires that the scheduled update of the RTC happens in the closest tick to the half of the second. This seems to be difficult to achieve reliably. The scheduled work may be missing the target time by a tick or two and be constantly rescheduled every second. Relax the limit to 10 ticks. As a typical RTC drifts in the 11-minute update interval by several milliseconds, this shouldn't affect the overall accuracy of the RTC much. Signed-off-by:

commit 05104a4e upstream. The warning for the irq remapping broken check in intel_irq_remapping.c is pretty pointless. We need the warning, but we know where its comming from, the stack trace will always be the same, and it needlessly triggers things like Abrt. This changes the warning to just print a text warning about BIOS being broken, without the stack trace, then sets the appropriate taint bit. Since we automatically disable irq remapping, theres no need to contiue making Abrt jump at this problem Signed-off-by:

commit f9423606 upstream. The BUG_ON in drivers/iommu/intel-iommu.c:785 can be triggered from userspace via VFIO by calling the VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl on a vfio device with any address beyond the addressing capabilities of the IOMMU. The problem is that the ioctl code calls iommu_iova_to_phys before it calls iommu_map. iommu_map handles the case that it gets addresses beyond the addressing capabilities of its IOMMU. intel_iommu_iova_to_phys does not. This patch fixes iommu_iova_to_phys to return NULL for addresses beyond what the IOMMU can handle. This in turn causes the ioctl call to fail in iommu_map and (correctly) return EFAULT to the user with a helpful warning message in the kernel log. Signed-off-by:

Commit 0255d491 ("mm: Account for a THP NUMA hinting update as one PTE update") was added to account for the number of PTE updates when marking pages prot_numa. task_numa_work was using the old return value to track how much address space had been updated. Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result. On the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests reported. This is an illustrative example of a short single JVM specjbb test specjbb 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanilla acctupdates TPut 1 26143.00 ( 0.00%) 25747.00 ( -1.51%) TPut 7 185257.00 ( 0.00%) 183202.00 ( -1.11%) TPut 13 329760.00 ( 0.00%) 346577.00 ( 5.10%) TPut 19 442502.00 ( 0.00%) 460146.00 ( 3.99%) TPut 25 540634.00 ( 0.00%) 549053.00 ( 1.56%) TPut 31 512098.00 ( 0.00%) 519611.00 ( 1.47%) TPut 37 461276.00 ( 0.00%) 474973.00 ( 2.97%) TPut 43 403089.00 ( 0.00%) 414172.00 ( 2.75%) 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates User 5169.64 5184.14 System 100.45 80.02 Elapsed 252.75 251.85 Performance is similar but note the reduction in system CPU time. While this showed a performance gain, it will not be universal but at least it'll be behaving as documented. The vmstats are obviously different but here is an obvious interpretation of them from mmtests. 3.12.0 3.12.0 vanillaacctupdates NUMA page range updates 1408326 11043064 NUMA huge PMD updates 0 21040 NUMA PTE updates 1408326 291624 "NUMA page range updates" == nr_pte_updates and is the value returned to the NUMA pte scanner. NUMA huge PMD updates were the number of THP updates which in combination can be used to calculate how many ptes were updated from userspace. Signed-off-by:

commit 70e5975d upstream. On an SMP system with only one global clockevent and a dummy clockevent per CPU we run into problems. We want the dummy clockevents to be registered as the per CPU tick devices, but we can only achieve that if we register the dummy clockevents before the global clockevent or if we artificially inflate the rating of the dummy clockevents to be higher than the rating of the global clockevent. Failure to do so leads to boot hangs when the dummy timers are registered on all other CPUs besides the CPU that accepted the global clockevent as its tick device and there is no broadcast timer to poke the dummy devices. If we're registering multiple clockevents and one clockevent is global and the other is local to a particular CPU we should choose to use the local clockevent regardless of the rating of the device. This way, if the clockevent is a dummy it will take the tick device duty as long as there isn't a higher rated tick device and any global clockevent will be bumped out into broadcast mode, fixing the problem described above.

Commit 36f55889 "aio: refcounting cleanup" resulted in ioctx_lock not being held during ctx removal, leaving the list susceptible to corruptions. In mainline kernel the issue went away as a side effect of db446a08 "aio: convert the ioctx list to table lookup v3". Fix the problem by restoring appropriate locking. Signed-off-by:
