commit 6f24f892871acc47b40dd594c63606a17c714f77 upstream.

Commit ec81aecb2966 ("hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow") fixed a few
potential buffer overflows in the hfs filesystem.  But as Timo Warns
pointed out, these changes also need to be made on the hfsplus
filesystem as well.

sched: Fix nohz load accounting -- again!

commit c308b56b5398779cd3da0f62ab26b0453494c3d4 upstream.
[ backported to 3.0 by Kerin Millar <kerframil@gmail.com>]

Various people reported nohz load tracking still being wrecked, but Doug
spotted the actual problem. We fold the nohz remainder in too soon,
causing us to loose samples and under-account.

So instead of playing catch-up up-front, always do a single load-fold
with whatever state we encounter and only then fold the nohz remainder
and play catch-up.

commit 4c1bcdb5a3354b250b82a67549f57ac27a3bb85f upstream.

This driver currently leaves elp_work behind when stopping, which
occasionally results in data corruption because work function ends
up accessing freed memory, typical symptoms of this are various
worker_thread crashes. Fix it by cancelling elp_work.

commit 328c32f0f85467af5a6c4c3289e168d9ad2555af upstream.

Currently SDIO glue frees it's own structure before calling
wl1251_free_hw(), which in turn calls ieee80211_unregister_hw().
The later call may result in a need to communicate with the chip
to stop it (as it happens now if the interface is still up before
rmmod), which means calls are made back to the glue, resulting in
freed memory access.

Fix this by freeing glue data last.

mac80211: fix AP mode EAP tx for VLAN stations

commit 66f2c99af3d6f2d0aa1120884cf1c60613ef61c0 upstream.

EAP frames for stations in an AP VLAN are sent on the main AP interface
to avoid race conditions wrt. moving stations.
For that to work properly, sta_info_get_bss must be used instead of
sta_info_get when sending EAP packets.
Previously this was only done for cooked monitor injected packets, so
this patch adds a check for tx->skb->protocol to the same place.

commit dd447319895d0c0af423e483d9b63f84f3f8869a upstream.

Driver incorrectly validates command completion: instead of waiting
for a command to be acknowledged it continues execution.  Most of the
time driver gets acknowledge of the command completion in a tasklet
before it executes the next one. But sometimes it sends the next
command before it gets acknowledge for the previous one. In such a
case one of the following error messages appear in the log:

Failed to send SYSTEM_CONFIG: Already sending a command.
Failed to send ASSOCIATE: Already sending a command.
Failed to send TX_POWER: Already sending a command.

After that you need to reload the driver to get it working again.

This bug occurs during roaming (reported by Sam Varshavchik)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738508
and machine booting (reported by Tom Gundersen and Mads Kiilerich)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28097
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802106

This patch doesn't fix the delay issue during firmware load.
But at least device now works as usual after boot.

libata: skip old error history when counting probe trials

commit 6868225e3e92399068be9a5f1635752d91012ad5 upstream.

Commit d902747("[libata] Add ATA transport class") introduced
ATA_EFLAG_OLD_ER to mark entries in the error ring as cleared.

But ata_count_probe_trials_cb() didn't check this flag and it still
counts the old error history. So wrong probe trials count is returned
and it causes problem, for example, SATA link speed is slowed down from
3.0Gbps to 1.5Gbps.

Fix it by checking ATA_EFLAG_OLD_ER in ata_count_probe_trials_cb().
