Use the port wait queue and make sure to check the serial disconnected flag before accessing private port data after waking up. This is is needed as the private port data (including the wait queue itself) can be gone when waking up after a disconnect.

Add modem-status-change wait queue to struct usb_serial_port that subdrivers can use to implement TIOCMIWAIT. Currently subdrivers use a private wait queue which may have been released when waking up after device disconnected. Note that we're adding a new wait queue rather than reusing the tty-port one as we do not want to get woken up at hangup (yet).

Unregister tty device in disconnect as is required by the USB stack. By deferring unregistration to when the last tty reference is dropped, the parent interface device can get unregistered before the child resulting in broken hotplug events being generated when the tty is finally closed: KERNEL[2290.798128] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1/2-1:3.1 (usb) KERNEL[2290.804589] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-1 (usb) KERNEL[2294.554799] remove /2-1:3.1/tty/ttyACM0 (tty) The driver must deal with tty callbacks after disconnect by checking the disconnected flag. Specifically, further opens must be prevented and this is already implemented.

This patch (as1670) fixes a regression caused by commit 6402c796 (USB: EHCI: work around silicon bug in Intel's EHCI controllers). The workaround goes through two IAA cycles for each QH being unlinked. During the first cycle, the QH is not added to the async_iaa list (because it isn't fully gone from the hardware yet), which means that list will be empty. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the IAA watchdog timer routine. It thinks that an empty async_iaa list means the timer expiration was an error, which isn't true any more. This problem didn't show up during initial testing because the controllers being tested all had working IAA interrupts. But not all controllers do, and when the watchdog timer expires, the empty-list check prevents the second IAA cycle from starting. As a result, URB unlinks never complete. The check needs to be removed. Among the symptoms of the regression are processes stuck in D wait states and hangs during system shutdown.

The udc_irq service runs the isr_tr_complete_handler which in turn "nukes" the endpoints, including a call to rndis_response_complete, if appropriate. If the rndis_msg_parser fails here, an error will be printed using a dev_err call (through the ERROR() macro). However, if the usb cable was just disconnected the device (cdev) might not be available and will be null. Since the dev_err macro will dereference the cdev pointer we get a null pointer exception.

This patch (as1666) fixes a regression in the UDC core. The core takes care of unbinding gadget drivers, and it does the unbinding before telling the UDC driver to turn off the controller hardware. When the call to the udc_stop callback is made, the gadget no longer has a driver. The callback routine should not be invoked with a pointer to the old driver; doing so can cause problems (such as use-after-free accesses in net2280). This patch should be applied, with appropriate context changes, to all the stable kernels going back to 3.1.

Dmitry Torokhov authored
According to XHCI specification (5.5.2.1) the IP is bit 0 and IE is bit 1 of IMAN register. Previously their definitions were reversed. Even though there are no ill effects being observed from the swapped definitions (because IMAN_IP is RW1C and in legacy PCI case we come in with it already set to 1 so it was clearing itself even though we were setting IMAN_IE instead of IMAN_IP), we should still correct the values. This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.36, that contain the commit 4e833c0b "xhci: don't re-enable IE constantly".

musb does not use DMA buffer for ep0 but it uses the same giveback function *musb_g_giveback* for all endpoints (*musb_g_ep0_giveback* calls *musb_g_giveback*). So for ep0 case request.dma will be '0' and will result in kernel OOPS if tried to *unmap_dma_buffer* for requests in ep0. Fixed it by doing *unmap_dma_buffer* only for valid DMA addr and checking that musb_ep->dma is valid when unmapping.

This patch (as1663) fixes a regression caused by commit 6e0c3339 (USB: EHCI: unlink one async QH at a time). In order to avoid keeping multiple QHs in an unusable intermediate state, that commit changed unlink_empty_async() so that it unlinks only one empty QH at a time. However, when the EHCI root hub is suspended, _all_ async QHs need to be unlinked. ehci_bus_suspend() used to do this by calling unlink_empty_async(), but now this only unlinks one of the QHs, not all of them. The symptom is that when the root hub is resumed, USB communications don't work for some period of time. This is because ehci-hcd doesn't realize it needs to restart the async schedule; it assumes that because some QHs are already on the schedule, the schedule must be running. The easiest way to fix the problem is add a new function that unlinks all the async QHs when the root hub is suspended. This patch should be applied to all kernels that have the 6e0c3339 commit.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b1 ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized vm_flags without changing the generated code. However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of: - compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the !vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops - compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!) I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0 just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

Pull fix for hlist_entry_safe() regression from Paul McKenney: "This contains a single commit that fixes a regression in hlist_entry_safe(). This macro references its argument twice, which can cause NULL-pointer errors. This commit applies a gcc statement expression, creating a temporary variable to avoid the double reference.

-
Paul E. McKenney authored
The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice, once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the enclosing structure. This is OK for normal lock-based use because in that case, the pointer cannot change. However, when the pointer is protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can change at any time. This use case can result in the following sequence of events: 1. CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected pointer as sees that it is non-NULL. 2. CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0 just fetched a pointer to. Because this is the last entry in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL. 3. CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a NULL-pointer crash. This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched only once, avoiding the above sequence of events. Please note that it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed. This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing any additional overhead on the non-RCU case.

When I added the new style module aliases to the filesystems I deleted the old ones. A bad move. It turns out that distributions like Arch linux use module aliases when constructing ramdisks. Which meant ultimately that an ext3 filesystem mounted with ext4 would not result in the ext4 module being put into the ramdisk. The other change in this tree adds a handful of filesystem module alias I simply failed to add the first time. Which inconvinienced a few folks using cifs.

GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the burden of allocation to the preload users. Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from the preload buffer. This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.

This patch preserves those. * drv_insert_node_res_element() returns -ENOMEM on alloc failure, -EFAULT if id space is exhausted. -EFAULT is at best misleading. * drv_proc_insert_strm_res_element() is even weirder. It returns -EFAULT if kzalloc() fails, -ENOMEM if idr preloading fails and -EPERM if id space is exhausted. What's going on here? * drv_proc_insert_strm_res_element() doesn't free *pstrm_res after failure. Only compile tested.
