commit 28c9fac09ab0147158db0baeec630407a5e9b892 upstream.

If 'jmb38x_ms_count_slots()' returns 0, we must undo the previous
'pci_request_regions()' call.

Goto 'err_out_int' to fix it.

[ Upstream commit 65f1a0d39c289bb6fc85635528cd36c4b07f560e ]

If bus_register fails. On its error handling path, it has cleaned up
what it has done. There is no need to call bus_unregister again.
Otherwise, if bus_unregister is called, issues such as null-ptr-deref
will arise.

[ Upstream commit e03e303edf1c63e6dd455ccd568c74e93ef3ba8c ]

We can use MEMSTICK_POWER_{ON,OFF} along with pm_runtime_{get,put}
helpers to let memstick host support runtime pm.

The rpm count may go down to zero before the memstick host powers on, so
the host can be runtime suspended.

So before doing card detection, increment the rpm count to avoid the
host gets runtime suspended. Balance the rpm count after card detection
is done.

<title>memstick: rtsx_usb_ms: Manage runtime PM when accessing the device</title>

Accesses to the rtsx usb device, which is the parent of the rtsx memstick
device, must not be done unless it's runtime resumed. This is currently not
the case and it could trigger various errors.

Fix this by properly deal with runtime PM in this regards. This means
making sure the device is runtime resumed, when serving requests via the
-&gt;request() callback or changing settings via the -&gt;set_param() callbacks.

Accesses to the rtsx usb device, which is the parent of the rtsx memstick
device, must not be done unless it's runtime resumed.

Therefore when the rtsx_usb_ms driver polls for inserted memstick cards,
let's add pm_runtime_get|put*() to make sure accesses is done when the
rtsx usb device is runtime resumed.

When alloc_disk(0) is used the -&gt;major number is completely ignored.
All devices are allocated with a major of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.

So remove registration and deregistration of 'major'.

First version of this patch has already been posted to LKML by Ben
Hutchings ~6 months ago, but no further action were performed.

Ben's original message:

: rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in
: uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for
: bug-compatibility with Unix).  A load average of ~1 on a system that
: should be idle is somewhat alarming.
:
: Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals.
