Remove the vendor and product module parameters which were added a long time ago when we did not have the dynamic sysfs interface to add new device ids (and which isn't limited to a single new vid/pid pair). A vid/pid pair can be added dynamically using sysfs, for example: echo 0403 1234 >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id Also fix up the in-code comment that got the sysfs path wrong.

We want to get rid of CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, so remove the reliance of the ldusb driver on it. Don't use the custom macro, or a special module parameter, instead, rely on the in-kernel dynamic debugging infrastructure, which is much easier to use, and consistant across the whole kernel.

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks that I think it's time to actually make some progress. The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths. However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows 8 compatibility. [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause problems to show up elsewhere ] Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel likes that part). The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu. The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by GUI. Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid backlight control problems in the future. - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.

When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug. The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in inode_init_always(). We can use the following program to trigger it: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int fd; fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open "); return -1; } close(fd); return 0; } The oops message looks like this: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/ext3/namei.c:1992! kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP kernel: Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 crc16 cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod parport_pc parport serio_raw sg dcdbas pcspkr i2c_i801 ehci_pci ehci_hcd button acpi_cpufreq mperf e1000e ptp pps_core ttm drm_kms_helper drm hwmon i2c_algo_bit i2c_core ext3 jbd sd_mod ahci libahci libata scsi_mod uhci_hcd kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 2882 Comm: tst_tmpfile Not tainted 3.11.0-rc1+ #4 kernel: Hardware name: Dell Inc.

Pull staging tree fixes from Greg KH: "Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in through this tree. I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that will never go anywhere. It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that happened in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)" * tag 'staging-3.11-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging: staging: csr: remove driver iio: lps331ap: Fix wrong in_pressure_scale output value iio staging: fix lis3l02dq, read error handling staging:iio:ad7291: add missing .driver_module to struct iio_info iio: ti_am335x_adc: add missing .driver_module to struct iio_info iio: mxs-lradc: Remove useless check in read_raw iio: mxs-lradc: Fix misuse of iio->trig iio: inkern: fix iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked iio: Fix iio_channel_has_info iio:trigger: device_unregister->device_del to avoid double free iio: dac: ad7303: fix error return code in ad7303_probe()

Eric Sandeen has found a nasty livelock in sget() - take a mount(2) about to fail. The superblock is on ->fs_supers, ->s_umount is held exclusive, ->s_active is 1. Along comes two more processes, trying to mount the same thing; sget() in each is picking that superblock, bumping ->s_count and trying to grab ->s_umount. ->s_active is 3 now. Original mount(2) finally gets to deactivate_locked_super() on failure; ->s_active is 2, superblock is still ->fs_supers because shutdown will *not* happen until ->s_active hits 0. ->s_umount is dropped and now we have two processes chasing each other: s_active = 2, A acquired ->s_umount, B blocked A sees that the damn thing is stillborn, does deactivate_locked_super() s_active = 1, A drops ->s_umount, B gets it A restarts the search and finds the same superblock. And bumps it ->s_active. s_active = 2, B holds ->s_umount, A blocked on trying to get it ... and we are in the earlier situation with A and B switched places. The root cause, of course, is that ->s_active should not grow until we'd got MS_BORN. Then failing ->mount() will have deactivate_locked_super() shut the damn thing down. Fortunately, it's easy to do - the key point is that grab_super() is called only for superblocks currently on ->fs_supers, so it can bump ->s_count and grab ->s_umount first, then check MS_BORN and bump ->s_active; we must never increment ->s_count for superblocks past ->kill_sb(), but grab_super() is never called for those. The bug is pretty old; we would've caught it by now, if not for accidental exclusion between sget() for block filesystems; the things like cgroup or e.g. mtd-based filesystems don't have anything of that sort, so they get bitten. The right way to deal with that is obviously to fix sget()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
