commit 1fd24a4702d2af0ea4d5845126cf57d4d1796216 upstream.

This fixes a bug in function ni_tio_input_inttrig().  The trigger number
should be compared to cmd-&gt;start_arg, not cmd-&gt;start_src.

commit ad83dbd974feb2e2a8cc071a1d28782bd4d2c70e upstream.

The "adl_pci7x3x" driver replaced the "adl_pci7230" and "adl_pci7432"
drivers in commits 8f567c373c4b ("staging: comedi: new adl_pci7x3x
driver") and 657f77d173d3 ("staging: comedi: remove adl_pci7230 and
adl_pci7432 drivers").  Although the new driver code agrees with the
user manuals for the respective boards, digital outputs stopped working
on the PCI-7230.  This has 16 digital output channels and the previous
adl_pci7230 driver shifted the 16 bit output state left by 16 bits
before writing to the hardware register.  The new adl_pci7x3x driver
doesn't do that.  Fix it in `adl_pci7x3x_do_insn_bits()` by checking
for the special case of the subdevice having only 16 channels and
duplicating the 16 bit output state into both halves of the 32-bit
register.  That should work both for what the board actually does and
for what the user manual says it should do.

commit c04a1f17803e0d3eeada586ca34a6b436959bc20 upstream.

`devpriv-&gt;ao_timer` is used while an asynchronous command is running on
the AO subdevice.  It also gets modified by the subdevice's `cmdtest`
handler for checking new asynchronous commands,
`usbduxsigma_ao_cmdtest()`, which is not correct as it's allowed to
check new commands while an old command is still running.  Fix it by
moving the code which sets up `devpriv-&gt;ao_timer` into the subdevice's
`cmd` handler, `usbduxsigma_ao_cmd()`.

** This backported patch also moves the code that sets up
`devpriv-&gt;ao_sample_count` from `usbduxsigma_ao_cmdtest()` to
`usbduxsigma_ao_cmd()` for the same reason as above.  (This was not
needed in the upstream commit.) **

Note that the removed code in `usbduxsigma_ao_cmdtest()` checked that
`devpriv-&gt;ao_timer` did not end up less that 1, but that could not
happen due because `cmd-&gt;scan_begin_arg` or `cmd-&gt;convert_arg` had
already been range-checked.

Also note that we tested the `high_speed` variable in the old code, but
that is currently always 0 and means that we always use "scan" timing
(`cmd-&gt;scan_begin_src == TRIG_TIMER` and `cmd-&gt;convert_src == TRIG_NOW`)
and never "convert" (individual sample) timing (`cmd-&gt;scan_begin_src ==
TRIG_FOLLOW` and `cmd-&gt;convert_src == TRIG_TIMER`).  The moved code
tests `cmd-&gt;convert_src` instead to decide whether "scan" or "convert"
timing is being used, although currently only "scan" timing is
supported.

<title>staging: comedi: adv_pci1710: fix AI INSN_READ for non-zero channel</title>

commit abe46b8932dd9a6dfc3698e3eb121809b7b9ed28 upstream.

Reading of analog input channels by the `INSN_READ` comedi instruction
is broken for all except channel 0.  `pci171x_ai_insn_read()` calls
`pci171x_ai_read_sample()` with the wrong value for the third parameter.
It is supposed to be the current index in a channel list (which is
always of length 1 in this case, so the index should be 0), but instead
it is passing the actual channel number.  `pci171x_ai_read_sample()`
checks the channel number encoded in the raw sample value read from the
hardware matches the channel number stored in the specified index of the
previously set up channel list and returns `-ENODATA` if it doesn't
match.  Since the index should always be 0 in this case, the match will
fail unless the channel number is also 0.  Fix it by passing 0 as the
channel index.

Note that when the bug first appeared, it was `pci171x_ai_dropout()`
that was called with the wrong parameter value.  `pci171x_ai_dropout()`
got replaced with `pci171x_ai_read_sample()` in commit 7fd2dae2500d
("staging: comedi: adv_pci1710: introduce pci171x_ai_read_sample()").

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).

commit 42b8ce6f55facfa101462e694d33fc6bca471138 upstream.

`do_cmd_ioctl()` in "comedi_fops.c" handles the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl.
This returns `-EAGAIN` if it has copied a modified `struct comedi_cmd`
back to user-space.  (This occurs when the low-level Comedi driver's
`do_cmdtest()` handler returns non-zero to indicate a problem with the
contents of the `struct comedi_cmd`, or when the `struct comedi_cmd` has
the `CMDF_BOGUS` flag set.)

`compat_cmd()` in "comedi_compat32.c" handles the 32-bit compatible
version of the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl.  Currently, it never copies a 32-bit
compatible version of `struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space, which is
at odds with the way the regular `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl is handled.  To fix
it, change `compat_cmd()` to copy a 32-bit compatible version of the
`struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space when the main ioctl handler
returns `-EAGAIN`.

compatible version of `struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space, which is
at odds with the way the regular `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl is handled.  To fix
it, change `compat_cmd()` to copy a 32-bit compatible version of the
`struct comedi_cmd` back to user-space when the main ioctl handler
returns `-EAGAIN`.

commit 238b5ad855924919e5b98d0c772d9dc78795639b upstream.

As a follow-up to commit 6cab7a37f5c04 ("staging: comedi: (regression)
channel list must be set for COMEDI_CMD ioctl"), Hartley Sweeten pointed
out another couple of bugs stemming from commit 6cab7a37f5c04 ("staging:
comedi: comedi_fops: introduce __comedi_get_user_chanlist()").

Firstly, `do_cmdtest_ioctl()` never frees the kernel copy of the user
chanlist allocated by `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()`, so that memory is
leaked.  Fix it by freeing the allocated kernel memory pointed to by
`cmd.chanlist` before that pointer is overwritten with its original
pointer to user memory before `cmd` is copied back to user-space.

Secondly, if `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()` returns an error,
`cmd-&gt;chanlist` is left unchanged and in fact will be a pointer to user
memory.  This causes `do_cmd_ioctl()` to `goto cleanup` and call
`do_become_nonbusy()` which would attempt to free the memory pointed to
by the user-space pointer.  Fix it by setting `cmd-&gt;chanlist` to NULL at
the start of `__comedi_get_user_chanlist()`.

commit 6cab7a37f5c048bb2a768f24b0ec748b052fda09 upstream.

`do_cmd_ioctl()`, the handler for the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl can incorrectly
call the Comedi subdevice's `do_cmd()` handler with a NULL channel list
pointer.  This is a regression as the `do_cmd()` handler has never been
expected to deal with that, leading to a kernel OOPS when it tries to
dereference it.

A NULL channel list pointer is allowed for the `COMEDI_CMDTEST` ioctl,
handled by `do_cmdtest_ioctl()` and the subdevice's `do_cmdtest()`
handler, but not for the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl and its handlers.

Both `do_cmd_ioctl()` and `do_cmdtest_ioctl()` call
`__comedi_get_user_chanlist()` to copy the channel list from user memory
into dynamically allocated kernel memory and check it for consistency.
That function currently returns 0 if the `user_chanlist` parameter
(pointing to the channel list in user memory) is NULL.  That's fine for
`do_cmdtest_ioctl()`, but `do_cmd_ioctl()` incorrectly assumes the
kernel copy of the channel list has been set-up correctly.

Fix it by not allowing the `user_chanlist` parameter to be NULL in
`__comedi_get_user_chanlist()`, and only calling it from
`do_cmdtest_ioctl()` if the parameter is non-NULL.

Thanks to Bernd Porr for reporting the bug via an initial patch sent
privately.

<title>staging: comedi: addi_apci_1564: add addi_watchdog dependency</title>

With commit aed3f9d498b ("staging: comedi: addi_apci_1564:
absorb apci1564_reset()"), the apci 1564 driver has gained
a dependency on the addi watchdog module, which is not reflected
correctly in Kconfig, and that can lead to link errors
when the watchdog is disabled.

This adds an explicit 'select', like it is done in the other
addi apci drivers that need it.
