commit 32a5a0c047343b11f581f663a2309cf43d13466f upstream.

The isa_bus_init function must be called before drivers which utilize
the ISA bus driver are registered. A race condition for initilization
exists if device_initcall is used (the isa_bus_init callback is placed
in the same initcall level as dependent drivers which use module_init).
This patch ensures that isa_bus_init is called first by utilizing
postcore_initcall in favor of device_initcall.

commit 7e1b1fc4dabd6ec8e28baa0708866e13fa93c9b3 upstream.

Modules which register drivers via standard path (driver_register) in
parallel can cause a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3492 at ../fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/saa7146/drivers'
Modules linked in: hexium_gemini(+) mxb(+) ...
...
Call Trace:
...

 [&lt;ffffffffa0033011&gt;] hexium_init_module+0x11/0x1000 [hexium_gemini]
...

As can be (mostly) seen, driver_register causes this call sequence:
  -&gt; bus_add_driver
    -&gt; module_add_driver
      -&gt; module_create_drivers_dir
The last one creates "drivers" directory in /sys/module/&lt;...&gt;. When
this is done in parallel, the directory is attempted to be created
twice at the same time.

This can be easily reproduced by loading mxb and hexium_gemini in
parallel:
while :; do
  modprobe mxb &amp;
  modprobe hexium_gemini
  wait
  rmmod mxb hexium_gemini saa7146_vv saa7146
done

saa7146 calls pci_register_driver for both mxb and hexium_gemini,
which means /sys/module/saa7146/drivers is to be created for both of
them.

Fix this by a new mutex in module_create_drivers_dir which makes the
test-and-create "drivers" dir atomic.

I inverted the condition and removed 'return' to avoid multiple
unlocks or a goto.

commit 176fc2d5770a0990eebff903ba680d2edd32e718 upstream.

The in kernel snprintf() will conveniently return the actual length of
the printed string even if not given an output beffer at all so just do
that rather than relying on the user to pass in a suitable buffer,
ensuring that we don't need to worry if the buffer was truncated due to
the size of the buffer passed in.

If a read is attempted which is smaller than the line length then we may
underflow the subtraction we're doing with the unsigned size_t type so
move some of the calculation to be additions on the right hand side
instead in order to avoid this.

<title>drivercore: Fix unregistration path of platform devices</title>

commit 7f5dcaf1fdf289767a126a0a5cc3ef39b5254b06 upstream.

The unregister path of platform_device is broken. On registration, it
will register all resources with either a parent already set, or
type==IORESOURCE_{IO,MEM}. However, on unregister it will release
everything with type==IORESOURCE_{IO,MEM}, but ignore the others. There
are also cases where resources don't get registered in the first place,
like with devices created by of_platform_populate()*.

Fix the unregister path to be symmetrical with the register path by
checking the parent pointer instead of the type field to decide which
resources to unregister. This is safe because the upshot of the
registration path algorithm is that registered resources have a parent
pointer, and non-registered resources do not.

* It can be argued that of_platform_populate() should be registering
  it's resources, and they argument has some merit. However, there are
  quite a few platforms that end up broken if we try to do that due to
  overlapping resources in the device tree. Until that is fixed, we need
  to solve the immediate problem.

device_create_groups lets callers create devices as well as associated
sysfs attributes with a single call. This avoids race conditions seen
if sysfs attributes on new devices are created later.

commit 0372ffb35d00288802265586a29c117911d02fb8 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

commit 471b095dfe0d693a8d624cbc716d1ee4d74eb437 upstream.

An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" &gt; /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request
