vt6656 has several headers that use the #pragma pack(1) directive to enable structure packing, but never disable it. The layout of structures defined in other headers can then depend on which order the various headers are included in, breaking the One Definition Rule. In practice this resulted in crashes on x86_64 until the order of header inclusion was changed for some files in commit 11d404cb ('staging: vt6656: fix headers and add cfg80211.'). But we need a proper fix that won't be affected by future changes to the order of inclusion. This removes the #pragma pack(1) directives and adds __packed to the structure definitions for which packing appears to have been intended.

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db ("zram: Fix handling of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases: - Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was made to kunmap()'ed bio page. - Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.

This solves runtime failures while trying to enable WDT3 related functionality on firmware load, however it does affect other clocks controlled by the driver. Seen on 3.8-rc1. CCF provides clk_prepare and clk_unprepare for enable and disable operations respectively, this needs to be called in the correct order while handling clocks. Code path to enable/disable dsp clocks can still be reached from an atomic context, hence we can't use clk_prepare_enable and clk_disable_unprepare yet.

Éric Piel reported a kernel oops in the "comedi_test" module. It was a NULL pointer dereference within `waveform_ai_interrupt()` (actually a timer function) that sometimes occurred when a running asynchronous command is cancelled (either by the `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl or by closing the device file). This seems to be a race between the caller of `waveform_ai_cancel()` which on return from that function goes and tears down the running command, and the timer function which uses the command. In particular, `async->cmd.chanlist` gets freed (and the pointer set to NULL) by `do_become_nonbusy()` in "comedi_fops.c" but a previously scheduled `waveform_ai_interrupt()` timer function will dereference that pointer regardless, leading to the oops. Fix it by replacing the `del_timer()` call in `waveform_ai_cancel()` with `del_timer_sync()`.

When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`. A pointer to the hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info`. When the low-level comedi driver auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi device from the driver, clean it up and free it. A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer associated with the original hardware device. The problem is that the cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free it. Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device` cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

The minimum period was set to 357 ns, while the divider for these boards is 50 ns. This prevented to output at maximum speed as ni_ao_cmdtest() would return 357 but would not accept it. Not sure why it was set to 357 ns (this was done before the git history, which starts 5 years ago). My guess is that it comes from reading the specification stating a 2.8 MHz rate (~ 357 ns). The latest specification states a 2.86 MHz rate (~ 350 ns), which makes a lot more sense. Tested on a pci-6251.

This patch changes the omapdrm KMS to bypass the omapdss "compat" layer and use the core omapdss API directly. This solves some layering issues that would cause unpin confusion vs GO bit status, because we would not know whether a particular pageflip or overlay update has hit the screen or not. Now instead we explicitly manage the GO bits in dispc and handle the vblank/framedone interrupts ourself so that we always know which buffers are being scanned out at any given time, and so on. As an added bonus, we no longer leave the last overlay buffer pinned when the display is disabled, and have been able to add the previously missing vblank event handling. v1: original v2: rebased on latest staging-next and omapdss patches from Tomi and review comments from Archit Taneja Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Archit Taneja <archit@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Sumit Semwal <sumit.semwal@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Javier Martinez Canillas authored
commit a99d76f9 leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output() Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the leds-gpio driver. The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to: GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state) Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state. This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly. With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output(). int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label) { .. if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN) err = gpio_direction_input(gpio); else err = gpio_direction_output(gpio, (flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0); .. } The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.
