      fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdc: Don't confuse line size with pitch · 72c04af9
      Laurent Pinchart authored
      When using the MERAM the LCDC line size needs to be programmed with a
      MERAM-specific value different than the real frame buffer pitch. Fix it.

      virtio-blk: Fix hot-unplug race in remove method · b79d866c
      Asias He authored
      If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched
      to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck
      in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail.
      
      blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued
      before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is
      already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not
      finish.
      
      How to reproduce the race:
      1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device
      2. keep reading/writing the device in guest
      3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O
      
      Test:
      ~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch.
      
      Changes in v3:
      - Drop blk_abort_queue and blk_abort_request
      - Use __blk_end_request_all to complete request dispatched to driver
      
      Changes in v2:
      - Drop req_in_flight
      - Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver

      Current index allocation in virtio is based on a monotonically
      increasing variable "index". This means we'll run out of numbers
      after a while. E.g. someone crazy doing this in host side.

      9p: disconnect channel when PCI device is removed · 991ad9ec
      Sasha Levin authored
      When a virtio_9p pci device is being removed, we should close down any
      active channels and free up resources, we're not supposed to BUG() if there's
      still an open channel since it's a valid case when removing the PCI device.
      
      Otherwise, removing the PCI device with an open channel would cause the
      following BUG():

      Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
       "This is the v3.5 RCU tree from Paul E.  McKenney:
      
       1) A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature (with
          more on the way for 3.6).  Posted to LKML:
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
             the other commits for the convenience of the tester).
      
       2) Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
          that have no RCU callbacks.  Posted to LKML:
             https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.
      
       3) A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
          between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all that
          survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
          __rcu_read_lock() to be inlined.  The full set was posted to LKML at
          https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and third patches
          of that set remain.
      
       4) Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
          call_srcu() and srcu_barrier().  A major feature of this new
          implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs the
          execution of other CPUs.  This work is based on earlier
          implementations by Peter Zijlstra and Paul E.  McKenney.  Posted to
          LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.
      
       5) A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
          posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with
          subsequent updates posted to LKML."

      Revert "vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu" · 2e321806
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 8c01a529.
      
      It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while
      it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does
      not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen
      the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded
      the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after
      it got unhashed).
      
      End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be
      freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it.
      So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence
      number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

       "The major thing here is the addition of some helpers to factor code
        out of drivers, making a fair proportion of regulators much more just
        data rather than code which is nice.
      
        - Helpers in the core for regulators using regmap, providing generic
          implementations of the enable and voltage selection operations which
          just need data to describe them in the drivers.
        - Split out voltage mapping and voltage setting, allowing many more
          drivers to take advantage of the infrastructure for selectors.
        - Loads and loads of cleanups from Axel Lin once again, including many
          changes to take advantage of the above new framework features

      Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
       "A surprisingly large series of updates for regmap this time, mostly
        due to all the work Stephen Warren has done to add support for MMIO
        buses.  This wasn't really the target for the framework but it turns
        out that there's a reasonable number of cases where it's very helpful
        to use the register cache support to allow the register map to remain
        available while the device is suspended.
      
        - A MMIO bus implementation, contributed by Stephen Warren.  Currently
          this is limited to 32 bit systems and native endian registers.
        - Support for naming register maps, mainly intended for MMIO devices
          with multiple register banks.  This was also contributed by Stephen
          Warren.
        - Support for register striding, again contributed by Stephen Warren
          and mainly intended for use with MMIO as typically the registers
          will be a fixed size but byte addressed.
        - irqdomain support for the generic regmap irq_chip, including support
          for dynamically allocate interrupt numbers.
        - A function dev_get_regmap() which allows frameworks using regmap to
          obtain the regmap for a device from the struct device, making life a
          little simpler for them.
        - Updates to regmap-irq to support more chips (contributed by Graeme
          Gregory) and to use irqdomains.
        - Support for devices with 24 bit register addresses.
      
        The striding support collided with all the topic branches so the
        branches look a bit messy and eventually I just gave up.  There's also
        the TI Palmas driver and a couple of other isolated MFD patches that
        all depend on new regmap features so are being merged here."

      vfs: be even more careful about dentry RCU name lookups · 6326c71f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Miklos Szeredi points out that we need to also worry about memory
      odering when doing the dentry name comparison asynchronously with RCU.
      
      In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over
      another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always
      see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off
      the allocation.
      
      Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup
      time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all
      names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the
      end of the name allocation.  If we do that at dentry allocation time, we
      know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to
      anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues.
      
      So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character
      that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one
      final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU
      lookup traversing the name too far.
      
      The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make
      sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write
      barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the
      dentry.

      vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpers · a70b52ec
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
      the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
      mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
      cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
      
      Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
      rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
      
      This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
      means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
      actually remove lines of code.
