commit 51e9ac77 upstream. If the 'bio_split' path in raid10-read is used while resync/recovery is happening it is possible to deadlock. Fix this be elevating ->nr_waiting for the duration of both parts of the split request. This fixes a bug that has been present since 2.6.22 but has only started manifesting recently for unknown reasons. It is suitable for and -stable since then. Reported-by:

commit 6965031d upstream. SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the pipe. In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN if the page is currently being read. This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants failure if the pipe is full. For example if the same process is handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not. We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice flag, but for now this is the simplest fix. Signed-off-by:

In the RX tasklet's find_vcc() function we first refuse to use a VCC which already has the ATM_VF_READY bit cleared. And in the VCC close function, we synchronise with the tasklet to ensure that it can't still be using the VCC before we continue and allow the VCC to be destroyed. Signed-off-by:

commit a01c7800 upstream. In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case. Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig. Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use the passed-in variable "count" instead. Signed-off-by:

commit 213373cf upstream. SIDPR window registers are shared across ports and as each access is done in two steps, accesses to different ports under EH may race. This primarily is caused by incorrect host locking in EH context and should be fixed by defining locking requirements for each EH operation which can be used during EH and enforcing them but for now work around the problem by adding a dedicated SIDPR lock and grabbing it for each SIDPR access.

commit 9d1ac34e upstream. In kernel Bugzilla #15825 (2 users), in a wireless mailing list thread (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/b43-dev/2010-May/000124.html), and on a netbook owned by John Linville (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=127230751408818&w=4), there are reports of ssb failing to detect an SPROM at the normal location. After studying the MMIO trace dump for the Broadcom wl driver, it was determined that the affected boxes had a relocated SPROM. This patch fixes all systems that have reported this problem.

commit d53cdbb9 upstream. Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause hangs on some boxes. At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that don't have SPROMs at all. When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box -- no console output, etc. This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM is present before attempting to read it. This avoids those hard hangs on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus. The SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box will survive to test further patches. :-) Signed-off-by:

commit 8a22b999 upstream. xen_sched_clock only counts unstolen time. In principle this should be useful to the Linux scheduler so that it knows how much time a process actually consumed. But in practice this doesn't work very well as the scheduler expects the sched_clock time to be synchronized between cpus. It also uses sched_clock to measure the time a task spends sleeping, in which case "unstolen time" isn't meaningful. So just use plain xen_clocksource_read to return wallclock nanoseconds for sched_clock. Signed-off-by:

commit 728a756b upstream. This patch fixes a kernel Oops in the GFS2 rename code. The problem was in the way the gfs2 directory code was trying to re-use sentinel directory entries. In the failing case, gfs2's rename function was renaming a file to another name that had the same non-trivial length. The file being renamed happened to be the first directory entry on the leaf block. First, the rename code (gfs2_rename in ops_inode.c) found the original directory entry and decided it could do its job by simply replacing the directory entry with another. Therefore it determined correctly that no block allocations were needed. Next, the rename code deleted the old directory entry prior to replacing it with the new name. Therefore, the soon-to-be replaced directory entry was temporarily made into a directory entry "sentinel" or a place holder at the start of a leaf block. Lastly, it went to re-add the replacement directory entry in that leaf block. However, when gfs2_dirent_find_space was looking for space in the leaf block, it used the wrong value for the sentinel. That threw off its calculations so later it decides it can't really re-use the sentinel and therefore must allocate a new leaf block. But because it previously decided to re-use the directory entry, it didn't waste the time to grab a new block allocation for the inode. Therefore, the inode's i_alloc pointer was still NULL and it crashes trying to reference it. In the case of sentinel directory entries, the entire dirent is reused, not just the "free space" portion of it, and therefore the function gfs2_dirent_find_space should use the value 0 rather than GFS2_DIRENT_SIZE(0) for the actual dirent size. Fixing this calculation enables the reproducer programs to work properly. Signed-off-by:

We can not call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->scan_check) with priv->mutex locked because workqueue function iwl_bg_scan_check() take that lock internally. We do not need to synchronize when canceling priv->scan_check work. We can avoid races (sending double abort command or send no command at all) using STATUS_SCAN_ABORT bit. Moreover current iwl_bg_scan_check() code seems to be broken, as we should not send abort commands when currently aborting. Signed-off-by:

commit f860d526 upstream. When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs to be preserved in software here. Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the TSF write after the initval-writes usually works. This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

commit 36f2407f upstream. Should e1000_test_msi() fail to see an msi interrupt, it attempts to fallback to legacy INTx interrupts. But an error in the code may prevent this from happening correctly. Before calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), e1000_test_msi() disables SERR by clearing the SERR bit from the just read PCI_COMMAND bits as it writes them back out. Upon return from calling e1000_test_msi_interrupt(), it re-enables SERR by writing out the version of PCI_COMMAND it had previously read. The problem with this is that e1000_test_msi_interrupt() calls pci_disable_msi(), which eventually ends up in pci_intx(). And because pci_intx() was called with enable set to 1, the INTX_DISABLE bit gets cleared from PCI_COMMAND, which is what we want. But when we get back to e1000_test_msi(), the INTX_DISABLE bit gets inadvertently re-set because of the attempt by e1000_test_msi() to re-enable SERR. The solution is to have e1000_test_msi() re-read the PCI_COMMAND bits as part of its attempt to re-enable SERR. During debugging/testing of this issue I found that not all the systems I ran on had the SERR bit set to begin with. And on some of the systems the same could be said for the INTX_DISABLE bit. Needless to say these latter systems didn't have a problem falling back to legacy INTx interrupts with the code as is. Signed-off-by:
