[ Upstream commit 25f427ac7b8d89b0259f86c0c6407b329df742b2 ]

A loop for reading MISTAT register continues while regmap_read() fails
and (mistat &amp; BUSY), but if regmap_read() fails a value of mistat is
undefined.

The patch proposes to check for BUSY flag only when regmap_read()
succeed. Compile test only.

commit f03dca0c9e2297c84a018e306f8a9cd534ee4287 upstream.

devm_regmap_init may return error which caused by like out of memory,
this will results in null pointer dereference later when reading
or writing register:

<title>kthread: kthread worker API cleanup</title>

<id>3989144f863ac576e6efba298d24b0b02a10d4bb</id>
<content type='text'>
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-&gt; kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-&gt; kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

<title>enc28j60: Fix race condition in enc28j60 driver</title>

<id>373819ec391de0d11f63b10b2fb69ef2854236ca</id>
<content type='text'>
The interrupt worker code for the enc28j60 relies only on the TXIF flag to
determinate if the packet transmission was completed. However the datasheet
specifies in section 12.1.3 that TXERIF will clear the TXRTS after a
transmit abort. Also in section 12.1.4 that TXIF will be set
when TXRTS transitions from '1' to '0'. Therefore the TXIF flag is enabled
during transmission errors.

This causes a race condition, since the worker code will invoke
enc28j60_tx_clear() -&gt; netif_wake_queue(), potentially invoking the
ndo_start_xmit function to send a new packet. The enc28j60_send_packet function
uses a workqueue that invokes enc28j60_hw_tx(). In between this function is
called, the worker from the interrupt handler will enter the path for error
handler because of the TXERIF flag, causing to invoke enc28j60_tx_clear() again
and releasing the packet scheduled for transmission, causing a kernel crash with
due a NULL pointer.

These crashes due a NULL pointer were observed under stress conditions of the
device. A BUG_ON() sequence was used to validate the issue was fixed, and has
been running without problems for 2 years now.

Replace all trans_start updates with netif_trans_update helper.
change was done via spatch:

struct net_device *d;

- d-&gt;trans_start = jiffies

<title>drivers: replace dev-&gt;trans_start accesses with dev_trans_start</title>

<id>4d0e965732db6f7cce78e6b8f5d3073249004c3a</id>
<content type='text'>
a trans_start struct member exists twice:
- in struct net_device (legacy)
- in struct netdev_queue

Instead of open-coding dev-&gt;trans_start usage to obtain the current
trans_start value, use dev_trans_start() instead.

This is not exactly the same, as dev_trans_start also considers
the trans_start values of the netdev queues owned by the device
and provides the most recent one.

For legacy devices this doesn't matter as dev_trans_start can cope
with netdev trans_start values of 0 (they are ignored).

This is a prerequisite to eventual removal of dev-&gt;trans_start.

The following patch adds the required match table for device tree support
(and while at, fix the indent). It's also possible to specify the
MAC address in the DT blob.

Also add the corresponding binding documentation file.

The current spi_read_buf function fails on SPI host masters which
are only half-duplex capable. Splitting the Tx and Rx part solves
this issue.

Tested on Raspberry Pi (full duplex) and I2SE Duckbill (half duplex).
