Bluetooth: ath3k: workaround the compatibility issue with xHCI controller

2015-03-06T00:39:20+00:00

commit c561a5753dd631920c4459a067d22679b3d110d6 upstream.

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400215

ath3k devices fail to load firmwares on xHCI buses, but work well on
EHCI, this might be a compatibility issue between xHCI and ath3k chips.
As my testing result, those chips will work on xHCI buses again with
this patch.

This workaround is from Qualcomm, they also did some workarounds in
Windows driver.

ipv6: fib: fix fib dump restart

2015-03-06T00:39:20+00:00

commit 1c2658545816088477e91860c3a645053719cb54 upstream.

When the ipv6 fib changes during a table dump, the walk is
restarted and the number of nodes dumped are skipped. But the existing
code doesn't advance to the next node after a node is skipped. This can
cause the dump to loop or produce lots of duplicates when the fib
is modified during the dump.

This change advances the walk to the next node if the current node is
skipped after a restart.

ipv6: fib: fix fib dump restart

2015-03-06T00:39:20+00:00

commit fa809e2fd6e317226c046202a88520962672eac0 upstream.

Commit 2bec5a369ee79576a3 (ipv6: fib: fix crash when changing large fib
while dumping it) introduced ability to restart the dump at tree root,
but failed to skip correctly a count of already dumped entries. Code
didn't match Patrick intent.

We must skip exactly the number of already dumped entries.

Note that like other /proc/net files or netlink producers, we could
still dump some duplicates entries.

ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systems

2015-03-06T00:39:20+00:00

commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream.

Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid
potential multiplication overflows were added in commit
5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values)

Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of
LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being
much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives
resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/
EINVAL.

ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so
the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time
sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by
the bug.

See bugs:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074

This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for
clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled
on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always
larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication
overflows aren't possible there.

Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense.

Unverified values can cause overflows later on.

sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target

2015-03-06T00:39:19+00:00

commit 80e3d87b2c5582db0ab5e39610ce3707d97ba409 upstream.

This patch adds checks that prevens futile attempts to move rt tasks
to a CPU with active tasks of equal or higher priority.

This reduces run queue lock contention and improves the performance of
a well known OLTP benchmark by 0.7%.

media/rc: Send sync space information on the lirc device

2015-03-06T00:39:19+00:00

commit a8f29e89f2b54fbf2c52be341f149bc195b63a8b upstream.

Userspace expects to see a long space before the first pulse is sent on
the lirc device.  Currently, if a long time has passed and a new packet
is started, the lirc codec just returns and doesn't send anything.  This
makes lircd ignore many perfectly valid signals unless they are sent in
quick sucession.  When a reset event is delivered, we cannot know
anything about the duration of the space.  But it should be safe to
assume it has been a long time and we just set the duration to maximum.

staging: comedi: cb_pcidas64: fix incorrect AI range code handling

2015-03-06T00:39:19+00:00

commit be8e89087ec2d2c8a1ad1e3db64bf4efdfc3c298 upstream.

The hardware range code values and list of valid ranges for the AI
subdevice is incorrect for several supported boards.  The hardware range
code values for all boards except PCI-DAS4020/12 is determined by
calling `ai_range_bits_6xxx()` based on the maximum voltage of the range
and whether it is bipolar or unipolar, however it only returns the
correct hardware range code for the PCI-DAS60xx boards.  For
PCI-DAS6402/16 (and /12) it returns the wrong code for the unipolar
ranges.  For PCI-DAS64/Mx/16 it returns the wrong code for all the
ranges and the comedi range table is incorrect.

Change `ai_range_bits_6xxx()` to use a look-up table pointed to by new
member `ai_range_codes` of `struct pcidas64_board` to map the comedi
range table indices to the hardware range codes.  Use a new comedi range
table for the PCI-DAS64/Mx/16 boards (and the commented out variants).

Drivers: hv: vmbus: incorrect device name is printed when child device is unregistered

2015-03-06T00:39:19+00:00

commit 84672369ffb98a51d4ddf74c20a23636da3ad615 upstream.

Whenever a device is unregistered in vmbus_device_unregister (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c), the device name in the log message may contain garbage as the memory has already been freed by the time pr_info is called. Log example:
 [ 3149.170475] hv_vmbus: child device àõsèè0_5 unregistered

By logging the message just before calling device_unregister, the correct device name is printed:
[ 3145.034652] hv_vmbus: child device vmbus_0_5 unregistered

Also changing register & unregister messages to debug to avoid unnecessarily cluttering the kernel log.
