commit 2fd2bdfccae61efe18f6b92b6a45fbf936d75b48 upstream.

pcmuio_detach() is called by the comedi core even if pcmuio_attach()
returned an error, so `dev-&gt;private` might be `NULL`.  Check for that
before dereferencing it.

Also, as pointed out by Dan Carpenter, there is no need to check the
pointer passed to `kfree()` is non-NULL, so remove that check.

commit 1e85c1ea1ff2a60659e790ef8ec76c7339445841 upstream.

The last value written to a analog output channel is cached in the
private data of this driver for readback.

Currently, the wrong value is cached in the (*insn_write) functions.
The current code stores the data[n] value for readback afer the loop
has written all the values. At this time 'n' points past the end of
the data array.

Fix the functions by using a local variable to hold the data being
written to the analog output channel. This variable is then used
after the loop is complete to store the readback value. The current
value is retrieved before the loop in case no values are actually
written..

<content type='text'>
commit 0283f7a100882684ad32b768f9f1ad81658a0b92 upstream.

At some point, Measurement Computing / ComputerBoards redesigned the
PCI-DIO48H to use a PLX PCI interface chip instead of an AMCC chip.
This meant they had to put their hardware registers in the PCI BAR 2
region instead of PCI BAR 1.  Unfortunately, they kept the same PCI
device ID for the new design.  This means the driver recognizes the
newer cards, but doesn't work (and is likely to screw up the local
configuration registers of the PLX chip) because it's using the wrong
region.

Since all the supported boards have the DIO registers in the PCI BAR 2
region except for older PCI-DIO48H boards which have an empty PCI BAR 2
region and the DIO registers in PCI BAR 1, determine which PCI BAR
region to use based on whether the PCI BAR 2 region is empty or not.

This change makes the `dioregs_badrindex` member of `struct
pcidio_board` redundant.  The `pcicontroler_badrindex` member is also
unused, so remove both members.

<title>staging: comedi: ni_65xx: (bug fix) confine insn_bits to one subdevice</title>

commit 677a31565692d596ef42ea589b53ba289abf4713 upstream.

The `insn_bits` handler `ni_65xx_dio_insn_bits()` has a `for` loop that
currently writes (optionally) and reads back up to 5 "ports" consisting
of 8 channels each.  It reads up to 32 1-bit channels but can only read
and write a whole port at once - it needs to handle up to 5 ports as the
first channel it reads might not be aligned on a port boundary.  It
breaks out of the loop early if the next port it handles is beyond the
final port on the card.  It also breaks out early on the 5th port in the
loop if the first channel was aligned.  Unfortunately, it doesn't check
that the current port it is dealing with belongs to the comedi subdevice
the `insn_bits` handler is acting on.  That's a bug.

Redo the `for` loop to terminate after the final port belonging to the
subdevice, changing the loop variable in the process to simplify things
a bit.  The `for` loop could now try and handle more than 5 ports if the
subdevice has more than 40 channels, but the test `if (bitshift &gt;= 32)`
ensures it will break out early after 4 or 5 ports (depending on whether
the first channel is aligned on a port boundary).  (`bitshift` will be
between -7 and 7 inclusive on the first iteration, increasing by 8 for
each subsequent operation.)

In dt282x_ai_insn_read() we call this macro like:
wait_for(!mux_busy(), comedi_error(dev, "timeout\n"); return -ETIME;);
Because the if statement doesn't have curly braces it means we always
return -ETIME and the function never succeeds.

commit 4b18f08be01a7b3c7b6df497137b6e3cb28adaa3 upstream.

`do_cmd_ioctl()` is called with the comedi device's mutex locked to
process the `COMEDI_CMD` ioctl to set up comedi's asynchronous command
handling on a comedi subdevice.  `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()`
are the `read` and `write` handlers for the comedi device, but do not
lock the mutex (for performance reasons, as some things can hold the
mutex for quite a long time).

There is a race condition if `comedi_read()` or `comedi_write()` is
running at the same time and for the same file object and comedi
subdevice as `do_cmd_ioctl()`.  `do_cmd_ioctl()` sets the subdevice's
`busy` pointer to the file object way before it sets the `SRF_RUNNING` flag
in the subdevice's `runflags` member.  `comedi_read() and
`comedi_write()` check the subdevice's `busy` pointer is pointing to the
current file object, then if the `SRF_RUNNING` flag is not set, will call
`do_become_nonbusy()` to shut down the asyncronous command.  Bad things
can happen if the asynchronous command is being shutdown and set up at
the same time.

To prevent the race, don't set the `busy` pointer until
after the `SRF_RUNNING` flag has been set.  Also, make sure the mutex is
held in `comedi_read()` and `comedi_write()` while calling
`do_become_nonbusy()` in order to avoid moving the race condition to a
point within that function.

Change some error handling `goto cleanup` statements in `do_cmd_ioctl()`
to simple `return -ERRFOO` statements as a result of changing when the
`busy` pointer is set.

<title>staging: comedi: COMEDI_CANCEL ioctl should wake up read/write</title>

commit 69acbaac303e8cb948801a9ddd0ac24e86cc4a1b upstream.

Comedi devices can do blocking read() or write() (or poll()) if an
asynchronous command has been set up, blocking for data (for read()) or
buffer space (for write()).  Various events associated with the
asynchronous command will wake up the blocked reader or writer (or
poller).  It is also possible to force the asynchronous command to
terminate by issuing a `COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl.  That shuts down the
asynchronous command, but does not currently wake up the blocked reader
or writer (or poller).  If the blocked task could be woken up, it would
see that the command is no longer active and return.  The caller of the
`COMEDI_CANCEL` ioctl could attempt to wake up the blocked task by
sending a signal, but that's a nasty workaround.

Change `do_cancel_ioctl()` to wake up the wait queue after it returns
from `do_cancel()`.  `do_cancel()` can propagate an error return value
from the low-level comedi driver's cancel routine, but it always shuts
the command down regardless, so `do_cancel_ioctl()` can wake up he wait
queue regardless of the return value from `do_cancel()`.

commit 7d3135af399e92cf4c9bbc5f86b6c140aab3b88c upstream.

When a low-level comedi driver auto-configures a device, a `struct
comedi_dev_file_info` is allocated (as well as a `struct
comedi_device`) by `comedi_alloc_board_minor()`.  A pointer to the
hardware `struct device` is stored as a cookie in the `struct
comedi_dev_file_info`.  When the low-level comedi driver
auto-unconfigures the device, `comedi_auto_unconfig()` uses the cookie
to find the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` so it can detach the comedi
device from the driver, clean it up and free it.

A problem arises if the user manually unconfigures and reconfigures the
comedi device using the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl so that is no longer
associated with the original hardware device.  The problem is that the
cookie is not cleared, so that a call to `comedi_auto_unconfig()` from
the low-level driver will still find it, detach it, clean it up and free
it.

Stop this problem occurring by always clearing the `hardware_device`
cookie in the `struct comedi_dev_file_info` whenever the
`COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl call is successful.

commit e4317ce877a31dbb9d96375391c1c4ad2210d637 upstream.

For the s626 driver, there is a bug in the handling of asynchronous
commands on the AI subdevice when the stop source is `TRIG_NONE`.  The
command should run continuously until cancelled, but the interrupt
handler stops the command running after the first scan.

The command set-up function `s626_ai_cmd()` contains this code:

	switch (cmd-&gt;stop_src) {
	case TRIG_COUNT:
		/*  data arrives as one packet */
		devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count = cmd-&gt;stop_arg;
		devpriv-&gt;ai_continous = 0;
		break;
	case TRIG_NONE:
		/*  continous acquisition */
		devpriv-&gt;ai_continous = 1;
		devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count = 0;
		break;
	}

The interrupt handler `s626_irq_handler()` contains this code:

		if (!(devpriv-&gt;ai_continous))
			devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count--;
		if (devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count &lt;= 0) {
			devpriv-&gt;ai_cmd_running = 0;
			/* ... */
		}

So `devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count` is only decremented for the `TRIG_COUNT`
case, but `devpriv-&gt;ai_cmd_running` is set to 0 (and the command
stopped) regardless.

Fix this in `s626_ai_cmd()` by setting `devpriv-&gt;ai_sample_count = 1`
for the `TRIG_NONE` case.  The interrupt handler will not decrement it
so it will remain greater than 0 and the check for stopping the
acquisition will fail.
