commit 75646e75 upstream. Some machines (eg. Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5 times if the first try fails.

commit c81c8a1e upstream. In __ioremap_caller() (the guts of ioremap), we loop over the range of pfns being remapped and checks each one individually with page_is_ram(). For large ioremaps, this can be very slow. For example, we have a device with a 256 GiB PCI BAR, and ioremapping this BAR can take 20+ seconds -- sometimes long enough to trigger the soft lockup detector! Internally, page_is_ram() calls walk_system_ram_range() on a single page. Instead, we can make a single call to walk_system_ram_range() from __ioremap_caller(), and do our further checks only for any RAM pages that we find. For the common case of MMIO, this saves an enormous amount of work, since the range being ioremapped doesn't intersect system RAM at all. With this change, ioremap on our 256 GiB BAR takes less than 1 second. Signed-off-by:

commit 27e35715 upstream. When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can create the following situation: spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock); foo->m->owner = NULL; rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt); rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path if (free) kfree(foo); spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free. Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme: while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) { /* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */ clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m); owner = rt_mutex_owner(m); spin_unlock(m->wait_lock); if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner) return; spin_lock(m->wait_lock); } So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow path unlock we have two situations: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); acquire(lock); Or: unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock); cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner enqueue_waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); wakeup_next waiter(); unlock(wait_lock); lock(wait_lock); acquire(lock); If the fast path is disabled, then the simple m->owner = NULL; unlock(m->wait_lock); is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via m->wait_lock; Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested by Oleg Nesterov.

commit 3d5c9340 upstream. Even in the case when deadlock detection is not requested by the caller, we can detect deadlocks. Right now the code stops the lock chain walk and keeps the waiter enqueued, even on itself. Silly not to yell when such a scenario is detected and to keep the waiter enqueued. Return -EDEADLK unconditionally and handle it at the call sites. The futex calls return -EDEADLK. The non futex ones dequeue the waiter, throw a warning and put the task into a schedule loop. Tagged for stable as it makes the code more robust. Signed-off-by:

commit 82084984 upstream. When we walk the lock chain, we drop all locks after each step. So the lock chain can change under us before we reacquire the locks. That's harmless in principle as we just follow the wrong lock path. But it can lead to a false positive in the dead lock detection logic: T0 holds L0 T0 blocks on L1 held by T1 T1 blocks on L2 held by T2 T2 blocks on L3 held by T3 T4 blocks on L4 held by T4 Now we walk the chain lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> lock L0 -> deadlock detected, but it's not a deadlock at all. Brad tried to work around that in the deadlock detection logic itself, but the more I looked at it the less I liked it, because it's crystal ball magic after the fact. We actually can detect a chain change very simple: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T2 times out and blocks on L0 Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; So if we detect that T2 is now blocked on a different lock we stop the chain walk. That's also correct in the following scenario: lock T1 -> lock L2 -> adjust L2 -> unlock T1 -> lock T2 -> adjust T2 -> next_lock = T2->pi_blocked_on->lock; drop locks T3 times out and drops L3 T2 acquires L3 and blocks on L4 now Now we continue: lock T2 -> if (next_lock != T2->pi_blocked_on->lock) return; We don't have to follow up the chain at that point, because T2 propagated our priority up to T4 already.

commit 397335f0 upstream. The current deadlock detection logic does not work reliably due to the following early exit path: /* * Drop out, when the task has no waiters. Note, * top_waiter can be NULL, when we are in the deboosting * mode! */ if (top_waiter && (!task_has_pi_waiters(task) || top_waiter != task_top_pi_waiter(task))) goto out_unlock_pi; So this not only exits when the task has no waiters, it also exits unconditionally when the current waiter is not the top priority waiter of the task. So in a nested locking scenario, it might abort the lock chain walk and therefor miss a potential deadlock. Simple fix: Continue the chain walk, when deadlock detection is enabled. We also avoid the whole enqueue, if we detect the deadlock right away (A-A). It's an optimization, but also prevents that another waiter who comes in after the detection and before the task has undone the damage observes the situation and detects the deadlock and returns -EDEADLOCK, which is wrong as the other task is not in a deadlock situation.

commit f5602941 upstream. We are seeing a lot of PMU warnings on POWER8: Can't find PMC that caused IRQ Looking closer, the active PMC is 0 at this point and we took a PMU exception on the transition from negative to 0. Some versions of POWER8 have an issue where they edge detect and not level detect PMC overflows. A number of places program the PMC with (0x80000000 - period_left), where period_left can be negative. We can either fix all of these or just ensure that period_left is always >= 1. This patch takes the second option. Signed-off-by:

And in cpuset_mems_allowed(), the access to cpuset is under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the rcu_read_lock protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug. This patch is a temporary solution that just addresses the bug mentioned above, can not fix the long-standing issue about cpuset.mems rebinding on fork(): "When the forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated. And the child task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist." Signed-off-by:

commit f5f6cbb6 upstream. /proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used) which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor. It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls. In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have an hypervisor either. Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option. This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall Signed-off-by:

commit bf593907 upstream. Normally, the kernel emulates a few instructions that are unimplemented on some processors (e.g. the old dcba instruction), or privileged (e.g. mfpvr). The emulation of unimplemented instructions is currently not working on the PowerNV platform. The reason is that on these machines, unimplemented and illegal instructions cause a hypervisor emulation assist interrupt, rather than a program interrupt as on older CPUs. Our vector for the emulation assist interrupt just calls program_check_exception() directly, without setting the bit in SRR1 that indicates an illegal instruction interrupt. This fixes it by making the emulation assist interrupt set that bit before calling program_check_interrupt(). With this, old programs that use no-longer implemented instructions such as dcba now work again. Signed-off-by:

commit 4b18f08b upstream. `do_cmd_ioctl()` is called with the comedi device's mutex locked to process the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl to set up comedi's asynchronous command handling on a comedi subdevice. `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` are the `read` and `write` handlers for the comedi device, but do not lock the mutex (for performance reasons, as some things can hold the mutex for quite a long time). There is a race condition if `comedi_read()` or `comedi_write()` is running at the same time and for the same file object and comedi subdevice as `do_cmd_ioctl()`. `do_cmd_ioctl()` sets the subdevice's `busy` pointer to the file object way before it sets the `SRF_RUNNING` flag in the subdevice's `runflags` member. `comedi_read() and `comedi_write()` check the subdevice's `busy` pointer is pointing to the current file object, then if the `SRF_RUNNING` flag is not set, will call `do_become_nonbusy()` to shut down the asyncronous command. Bad things can happen if the asynchronous command is being shutdown and set up at the same time. To prevent the race, don't set the `busy` pointer until after the `SRF_RUNNING` flag has been set. Also, make sure the mutex is held in `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` while calling `do_become_nonbusy()` in order to avoid moving the race condition to a point within that function. Change some error handling `goto cleanup` statements in `do_cmd_ioctl()` to simple `return -ERRFOO` statements as a result of changing when the `busy` pointer is set. Signed-off-by:

The description of the A/D LSB register at offset 0 seems incorrect in the user manual "cio-das08jr-16-ao.pdf" as it implies that the AI resolution is only 12 bits.

commit c8f6d835 upstream. Like on UL30VT, the ACPI video driver can't control backlight correctly on Asus UL30A. Vendor driver (asus-laptop) can work. This patch is to add "Asus UL30A" to ACPI video detect blacklist in order to use asus-laptop for video control on the "Asus UL30A" rather than ACPI video driver. Signed-off-by:

commit 084940d5 upstream. On Samsung X360, the BIOS will set a flag (VDRV) if the generic ACPI backlight device is used. This flag will definitively break the backlight interface (even the vendor interface) untill next reboot. It's why we should prevent video.ko from being used here and we can't rely on a later call to acpi_video_unregister(). Signed-off-by:

commit fd1232b2 upstream. This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk returns QUEUE FULL status. When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function sym_dequeue_from_squeue. This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR. If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd. The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures. The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk (rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags. The disk has 64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there are less than 64 pending tags. The SCSI specification allows returning QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry. Signed-off-by:

commit 133d4527 upstream. When we write to a degraded array which has a bitmap, we make sure the relevant bit in the bitmap remains set when the write completes (so a 're-add' can quickly rebuilt a temporarily-missing device). If, immediately after such a write starts, we incorporate a spare, commence recovery, and skip over the region where the write is happening (because the 'needs recovery' flag isn't set yet), then that write will not get to the new device. Once the recovery finishes the new device will be trusted, but will have incorrect data, leading to possible corruption. We cannot set the 'needs recovery' flag when we start the write as we do not know easily if the write will be "degraded" or not. That depends on details of the particular raid level and particular write request. This patch fixes a corruption issue of long standing and so it suitable for any -stable kernel. It applied correctly to 3.0 at least and will minor editing to earlier kernels. Reported-by:
