of_mdiobus_register creates a phy_device even if get_phy_device failed to create it previously. This causes indefinite polling on non-existent PHYs. This fix makes of_mdio_register rely on get_phy_device to properly create the device or fail otherwise. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The driver and firmware sync up through SYNC messages, and the firmware's affirmative reply to these SYNC messages appears to be the "Reset" indication received via the status interrupt endpoint. Thus the driver needs the status interrupt endpoint always active so that the Reset indication can be received even if the netdev is closed, which is the case right after device insertion. If the Reset indication is not received by the driver, it continues sending SYNC messages to the firmware, which crashes about 10 seconds later and the device stops responding.

Some drivers (sierra_net) need the status interrupt URB active even when the device is closed, because they receive custom indications from firmware. Add functions to refcount the status interrupt URB submit/kill operation so that sub-drivers and the generic driver don't fight over whether the status interrupt URB is active or not. A sub-driver can call usbnet_status_start() at any time, but the URB is only submitted the first time the function is called. Likewise, when the sub-driver is done with the URB, it calls usbnet_status_stop() but the URB is only killed when all users have stopped it. The URB is still killed and re-submitted for suspend/resume, as before, with the same refcount it had at suspend.

be_close() followed by be_clear() is called as a part of cleanup in the EEH/AER flow. This patch stops TX in be_close() before cleaning/freeing up the TX queues in be_clear(). This prevents be_xmit() from being called while TX queues no longer exist. Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

While cleaning RX queues, the CQ DB may be rung several times (with rearm) while waiting for the flush compl. Each CQ-notify with rearm can result in an event. The EQ may get full resulting in a HW error. Fix this by not re-arming the CQ while notifying a valid completion. Also, there's no need to wait for 1ms after destroying RXQ, as the code in be_rx_cq_clean() waits for the flush compl to arrive.

The buffer size for a FW cmd request must be big enough to fit the response, else the cmd fails. For GET_MAC_LIST cmd, though the memory allocated for the cmd is big enough to fit the response, the payload_len value in the WRB hdr is being set to the request length only. Fix this for GET_MAC_LIST cmd. Signed-off-by: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When the PF driver calls pci_enable_sriov(), the VFs may be probed inline before the call returns. So, the resources required for all VFs must be provisioned by the PF driver *before* calling pci_enable_sriov(); else, VF probe will fail.

Pull remoteproc update from Ohad Ben-Cohen: - Some refactoring, cleanups and small improvements from Sjur Brændeland. The improvements are mainly about better supporting varios virtio properties (such as virtio's config space, status and features). I now see that I messed up while commiting one of Sjur's patches and erroneously put myself as the author, as well as letting a nasty typo sneak in. I will not fix this in order to avoid rebasing the patches. Sjur - sorry! - A new remoteproc driver for OMAP-L13x (technically a DaVinci platform) from Robert Tivy. - Extend OMAP support to OMAP5 as well, from Vincent Stehlé. - Fix Kconfig VIRTUALIZATION dependency, from Suman Anna (a non-critical fix which arrived late during the rc cycle). * tag 'remoteproc-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc: remoteproc: fix kconfig dependencies for VIRTIO remoteproc/davinci: add a remoteproc driver for OMAP-L13x DSP remoteproc: support default firmware name in rproc_alloc() remoteproc/omap: support OMAP5 too remoteproc: set vring addresses in resource table remoteproc: support virtio config space. remoteproc: perserve resource table data remoteproc: calculate max_notifyid by counting vrings remoteproc: code cleanup of resource parsing remoteproc: parse STE-firmware and find resource table address remoteproc: add find_loaded_rsc_table firmware ops remoteproc: refactor rproc_elf_find_rsc_table()

Pull late ARM Exynos multiplatform changes from Arnd Bergmann: "These continue the multiplatform support for exynos, adding support for building most of the essential drivers (clocksource, clk, irqchip) when combined with other platforms. As a result, it should become really easy to add full multiplatform exynos support in 3.11, although we don't yet enable it for 3.10. The changes were not included in the earlier multiplatform series in order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates. This also includes work from Tomasz Figa to fix the pwm clocksource code on Exynos, which is not strictly required for multiplatform, but related to the other patches in this set and needed as a bug fix for at least one board." * tag 'multiplatform-for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (22 commits) ARM: dts: exynops4210: really add universal_c210 dts ARM: dts: exynos4210: Add basic dts file for universal_c210 board ARM: dts: exynos4: Add node for PWM device ARM: SAMSUNG: Do not register legacy timer interrupts on Exynos clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Work around rounding errors in clockevents core clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Correct programming of clock events clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Use proper clockevents max_delta clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Add support for non-DT platforms clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Drop unused samsung_pwm struct clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Keep all driver data in a structure clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Make PWM spinlock global clocksource: samsung_pwm_timer: Let platforms select the driver Documentation: Add device tree bindings for Samsung PWM timers clocksource: add samsung pwm timer driver irqchip: exynos: look up irq using irq_find_mapping irqchip: exynos: pass irq_base from platform irqchip: exynos: localize irq lookup for ATAGS irqchip: exynos: allocate combiner_data dynamically irqchip: exynos: pass max combiner number to combiner_init ARM: exynos: add missing properties for combiner IRQs ...

Pull ARM SoC late cleanups from Arnd Bergmann: "These are cleanups and smaller changes that either depend on earlier feature branches or came in late during the development cycle. We normally try to get all cleanups early, so these are the exceptions: - A follow-up on the clocksource reworks, hopefully the last time we need to merge clocksource subsystem changes through arm-soc. A first set of patches was part of the original 3.10 arm-soc cleanup series because of interdependencies with timer drivers now moved out of arch/arm. - Migrating the SPEAr13xx platform away from using auxdata for DMA channel descriptions towards using information in device tree, based on the earlier SPEAr multiplatform series - A few follow-ups on the Atmel SAMA5 support and other changes for Atmel at91 based on the larger at91 reworks. - Moving the armada irqchip implementation to drivers/irqchip - Several OMAP cleanups following up on the larger series already merged in 3.10." * tag 'cleanup-for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (50 commits) ARM: OMAP4: change the device names in usb_bind_phy ARM: OMAP2+: Fix mismerge for timer.c between ff931c82 and da4a686a ARM: SPEAr: conditionalize SMP code ARM: arch_timer: Silence debug preempt warnings ARM: OMAP: remove unused variable serial: amba-pl011: fix !CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE case ata: arasan: remove the need for platform_data ARM: at91/sama5d34ek.dts: remove not needed compatibility string ARM: at91: dts: add MCI DMA support ARM: at91: dts: add i2c dma support ARM: at91: dts: set #dma-cells to the correct value ARM: at91: suspend both memory controllers on at91sam9263 irqchip: armada-370-xp: slightly cleanup irq controller driver irqchip: armada-370-xp: move IRQ handler to avoid forward declaration irqchip: move IRQ driver for Armada 370/XP ARM: mvebu: move L2 cache initialization in init_early() devtree: add binding documentation for sp804 ARM: integrator-cp: convert use CLKSRC_OF for timer init ARM: versatile: use OF init for sp804 timer ARM: versatile: add versatile dtbs to dtbs target ...

Pull ARM SoC platform updates (part 3) from Arnd Bergmann: "This is the third and smallest of the SoC specific updates. Changes include: - SMP support for the Xilinx zynq platform - Smaller imx changes - LPAE support for mvebu - Moving the orion5x, kirkwood, dove and mvebu platforms to a common "mbus" driver for their internal devices. It would be good to get feedback on the location of the "mbus" driver. Since this is used on multiple platforms may potentially get shared with other architectures (powerpc and arm64), it was moved to drivers/bus/. We expect other similar drivers to get moved to the same place in order to avoid creating more top-level directories under drivers/ or cluttering up the messy drivers/misc/ even more." * tag 'soc-for-linus-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (50 commits) ARM: imx: reset_controller may be disabled ARM: mvebu: Align the internal registers virtual base to support LPAE ARM: mvebu: Limit the DMA zone when LPAE is selected arm: plat-orion: remove addr-map code arm: mach-mv78xx0: convert to use the mvebu-mbus driver arm: mach-orion5x: convert to use mvebu-mbus driver arm: mach-dove: convert to use mvebu-mbus driver arm: mach-kirkwood: convert to use mvebu-mbus driver arm: mach-mvebu: convert to use mvebu-mbus driver ARM i.MX53: set CLK_SET_RATE_PARENT flag on the tve_ext_sel clock ARM i.MX53: tve_di clock is not part of the CCM, but of TVE ARM i.MX53: make tve_ext_sel propagate rate change to PLL ARM i.MX53: Remove unused tve_gate clkdev entry ARM i.MX5: Remove tve_sel clock from i.MX53 clock tree ARM: i.MX5: Add PATA and SRTC clocks ARM: imx: do not bring up unavailable cores ARM: imx: add initial imx6dl support ARM: imx1: mm: add call to mxc_device_init ARM: imx_v4_v5_defconfig: Add CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Select CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS ...

Pull ARM SoC platform updates (part 2) from Arnd Bergmann: "These patches are all for Renesas shmobile, and depend on the earlier pinctrl updates. Remarkably, this adds support for three new SoCs: r8a73a4, r8a73a4 and r8a7778. The bulk of the code added for these is for pinctrl (using the new subsystem) and for clocks (not yet using the common clock subsystem). The latter will have to get converted in one of the upcoming releases, but shmobile is not ready for that yet. The series also contains Renesas shmobile board changes, adding one board file for each of the three new SoCs. These boards are using a mix of classic and device-tree based probing, as there is still a lot of infrastructure in shmobile that has not been converted to DT yet. Once those are resolved to the degree that no board specific setup code is needed, they can get folded into the respective SoC setup files." * tag 'soc-for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (78 commits) ARM: shmobile: use r8a7790 timer setup code on Lager ARM: shmobile: force enable of r8a7790 arch timer ARM: shmobile: Add second I/O range for r8a7790 PFC ARM: shmobile: bockw: enable network settings on bootargs ARM: shmobile: bockw: add SMSC ethernet support ARM: shmobile: R8A7778: add Ether support ARM: shmobile: bockw: enable SMSC ethernet on defconfig ARM: shmobile: r8a7778: add r8a7778_init_irq_extpin() ARM: shmobile: r8a7778: remove pointless PLATFORM_INFO() ARM: shmobile: mackerel: clean up MMCIF vs. SDHI1 selection ARM: shmobile: mackerel: add interrupt names for SDHI0 ARM: shmobile: mackerel: switch SDHI and MMCIF interfaces to slot-gpio ARM: shmobile: mackerel: remove OCR masks, where regulators are used ARM: shmobile: mackerel: SDHI resources do not have to be numbered ARM: shmobile: Initial r8a7790 Lager board support ARM: shmobile: APE6EVM LAN9220 support ARM: shmobile: APE6EVM PFC support ARM: shmobile: APE6EVM base support ARM: shmobile: kzm9g-reference: add ethernet support ARM: shmobile: add R-Car M1A Bock-W platform support ...

Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL. In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/ 52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig: config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766" depends on PPC_EFIKA This bug was introduced by commit bcdedcc1 ("menuconfig: print more info for symbol without prompts").

modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters (they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0). Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this optimization will still work fine: - __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation) - __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has active readers and no queued waiters. In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers complete. Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock before counting how many more readers are queued. We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics. RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case. Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently hold any read lock.

This is mostly for cleanup value: - We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very similar code). - In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader, so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).

Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive lock stealing: - When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks (and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore. - In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change, they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock (rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in rwsem-spinlock.

When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the wait_list when they succeed. As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed(): - We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't remove writers from the wait_list - There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop, as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration. - We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk, like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is still running - wait_lock protects against that.
