The nodes are already freed when the module is being unloaded. Patch "ath6kl: Fix a kernel panic furing suspend/resume" tried to fix this already but it wasn't enough as a pointer was still used even after the null check. This patch removes the null check entirely as the wmi structure is not accessed anymore during module unload. Also fix a bug where the status was checked as a bitfield with '&' operator. But it's not a bitfield, just a regular (enum like) value. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 7be4ba24 upstream. Since quite a few drivers are not managing to flag the cache as needing to be resynced after suspend and it's a reasonable thing to do flag the cache as needing sync automatically when suspending. The expectation is that systems will mainly only keep the CODEC powered when doing audio through the CODEC so we won't actually suspend the device anyway; drivers which want to can override this behaviour when they resume.

commit 3012f43e upstream. According to DM365 voice codec data sheet at [1], before starting recording or playback, ADC/DAC modules should follow a reset and enable cycle. Writing a 1 to the ADC/DAC bit in the register resets the module and clearing the bit to 0 will enable the module. But the driver seems to be doing the reverse of it.

commit b830ac1d upstream. Ben reported a lockup related to rtc. The lockup happens due to: CPU0 CPU1 rtc_irq_set_state() __run_hrtimer() spin_lock_irqsave(&rtc->irq_task_lock) rtc_handle_legacy_irq(); spin_lock(&rtc->irq_task_lock); hrtimer_cancel() while (callback_running); So the running callback never finishes as it's blocked on rtc->irq_task_lock. Use hrtimer_try_to_cancel() instead and drop rtc->irq_task_lock while waiting for the callback. Fix this for both rtc_irq_set_state() and rtc_irq_set_freq().

commit 004c1968 upstream. This patch (as1477) fixes a problem affecting a few types of EHCI controller. Contrary to what one might expect, these controllers automatically stop their internal frame counter when no ports are enabled. Since ehci-hcd currently relies on the frame counter for determining when it should unlink QHs from the async schedule, those controllers run into trouble: The frame counter stops and the QHs never get unlinked. Some systems have also experienced other problems traced back to commit b9638011 (USB: ehci-hcd unlink speedups), which made the original switch from using the system clock to using the frame counter. It never became clear what the reason was for these problems, but evidently it is related to use of the frame counter. To fix all these problems, this patch more or less reverts that commit and goes back to using the system clock. But this can't be done cleanly because other changes have since been made to the scan_async() subroutine. One of these changes involved the tricky logic that tries to avoid rescanning QHs that have already been seen when the scanning loop is restarted, which happens whenever an URB is given back. Switching back to clock-based unlinks would make this logic even more complicated. Therefore the new code doesn't rescan the entire async list whenever a giveback occurs. Instead it rescans only the current QH and continues on from there. This requires the use of a separate pointer to keep track of the next QH to scan, since the current QH may be unlinked while the scanning is in progress. That new pointer must be global, so that it can be adjusted forward whenever the _next_ QH gets unlinked. (uhci-hcd uses this same trick.) Simplification of the scanning loop removes a level of indentation, which accounts for the size of the patch. The amount of code changed is relatively small, and it isn't exactly a reversion of the b9638011 commit. This fixes Bugzilla #32432.

commit 6ea12a04 upstream. The NVIDIA series of OHCI controllers continues to be troublesome. A few people using the MCP67 chipset have reported that even with the most recent kernels, the OHCI controller fails to handle new connections and spams the system log with "unable to enumerate USB port" messages. This is different from the other problems previously reported for NVIDIA OHCI controllers, although it is probably related. It turns out that the MCP67 controller does not like to be kept in the RESET state very long. After only a few seconds, it decides not to work any more. This patch (as1479) changes the PCI initialization quirk code so that NVIDIA controllers are switched into the SUSPEND state after 50 ms of RESET. With no interrupts enabled and all the downstream devices reset, and thus unable to send wakeup requests, this should be perfectly safe (even for non-NVIDIA hardware). The removal code in ohci-hcd hasn't been changed; it will still leave the controller in the RESET state. As a result, if someone unloads ohci-hcd and then reloads it, the controller won't work again until the system is rebooted. If anybody complains about this, the removal code can be updated similarly. This fixes Bugzilla #22052. Tested-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

commit 8547d4cc upstream. When unbinding a device on the host which was still attached on the client, I got a NULL pointer dereference on the client. This turned out to be due to kthread_stop() being called on an already dead kthread. Here is how I was able to reproduce the problem: server:# usbip bind -b 1-2 client:# usbip attach -h server -b 1-2 server:# usbip unbind -b 1-2 This patch fixes the problem by checking the kthread before attempting to kill it, as it is done on the opposite side in stub_shutdown_connection().

commit 0c03150e upstream. A bridge topology with three systems: +------+ +------+ | A(2) |--| B(1) | +------+ +------+ \ / +------+ | C(3) | +------+ What is supposed to happen: * bridge with the lowest ID is elected root (for example: B) * C detects that A->C is higher cost path and puts in blocking state What happens. Bridge with lowest id (B) is elected correctly as root and things start out fine initially. But then config BPDU doesn't get transmitted from A -> C. Because of that the link from A-C is transistioned to the forwarding state. The root cause of this is that the configuration messages is generated with bogus message age, and dropped before sending. In the standardmessage_age is supposed to be: the time since the generation of the Configuration BPDU by the Root that instigated the generation of this Configuration BPDU. Reimplement this by recording the timestamp (age + jiffies) when recording config information. The old code incorrectly used the time elapsed on the ageing timer which was incorrect.

It seems to hurt performance in real life.

The compiler, at least for ix86 and m68k, validly warns that the comparison: next <= (loff_t)-1 is always true (and it's always true also for x86-64 and probably all other arches - as long as pgoff_t isn't wider than loff_t). The intention appears to be to avoid wrapping of "next", so rather than eliminating the pointless comparison, fix the loop to indeed get exited when "next" would otherwise wrap. On m68k the following warning is observed: fs/fscache/page.c: In function '__fscache_uncache_all_inode_pages': fs/fscache/page.c:979: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Reported-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The __lock_task_sighand() function calls rcu_read_lock() with interrupts and preemption enabled, but later calls rcu_read_unlock() with interrupts disabled. It is therefore possible that this RCU read-side critical section will be preempted and later RCU priority boosted, which means that rcu_read_unlock() will call rt_mutex_unlock() in order to deboost itself, but with interrupts disabled. This results in lockdep splats, so this commit nests the RCU read-side critical section within the interrupt-disabled region of code. This prevents the RCU read-side critical section from being preempted, and thus prevents the attempt to deboost with interrupts disabled. It is quite possible that a better long-term fix is to make rt_mutex_unlock() disable irqs when acquiring the rt_mutex structure's ->wait_lock. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
