commit f6b316bcd8c421acd6fa5a6e18b4c846ecb9d965 upstream.

Use comedi_dio_update_state() to handle the boilerplate code to update
the subdevice s-&gt;state.

Also, fix a bug where the state of the channels is returned in data[0].
The comedi core expects it to be returned in data[1].

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 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 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 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.

commit cc400e185c07c15a42d2635995f422de5b94b696 upstream.

Some low-level comedi drivers (incorrectly) point `dev-&gt;read_subdev` or
`dev-&gt;write_subdev` to a subdevice that does not support asynchronous
commands.  Comedi's poll(), read() and write() file operation handlers
assume these subdevices do support asynchronous commands.  In
particular, they assume `s-&gt;async` is valid (where `s` points to the
read or write subdevice), which it won't be if it has been set
incorrectly.  This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

Check `s-&gt;async` is non-NULL in `comedi_poll()`, `comedi_read()` and
`comedi_write()` to avoid the bug.

Commit 22056e2b46246d97ff0f7c6e21a77b8daa07f02c upstream.

Tuomas &lt;tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com&gt; reported problems getting
meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but
AI insn reads gave correct readings.  He tracked it down to two
problems, one of which is addressed by this patch.

It seems that writing to the command3 register after writing to the
command4 register in `labpc_ai_cmd()` messes up the differential
reference bit setting in the command4 register.  Set up the command4
register after the command3 register (as in `labpc_ai_rinsn()`) to avoid
the problem.

Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix.

Tuomas &lt;tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com&gt; reported problems getting
meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but
AI insn reads gave correct readings.  He tracked it down to two
problems, one of which is addressed by this patch.

It seems the setting of the channel bits for particular scanning modes
was incorrect for differential mode.  (Only half the number of channels
are available in differential mode; comedi refers to them as channels 0,
1, 2 and 3, but the hardware documentation refers to them as channels 0,
2, 4 and 6.)  In differential mode, the setting of the channel enable
bits in the command1 register should depend on whether the scan enable
bit is set.  Effectively, we need to double the comedi channel number
when the scan enable bit is not set in differential mode.  The scan
enable bit gets set when the AI scan mode is `MODE_MULT_CHAN_UP` or
`MODE_MULT_CHAN_DOWN`, and gets cleared when the AI scan mode is
`MODE_SINGLE_CHAN` or `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN_INTERVAL`.  The existing test
for whether the comedi channel number needs to be doubled in
differential mode is incorrect in `labpc_ai_cmd()`.  This patch corrects
the test.

Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix.

Commit 4c4bc25d0fa6beaf054c0b4c3b324487f266c820 upstream.

Tuomas &lt;tvainikk _at_ gmail _dot_ com&gt; reported problems getting
meaningful output from a Lab-PC+ in differential mode for AI cmds, but
AI insn reads gave correct readings.  He tracked it down to two
problems, one of which is addressed by this patch.

It seems the setting of the channel bits for particular scanning modes
was incorrect for differential mode.  (Only half the number of channels
are available in differential mode; comedi refers to them as channels 0,
1, 2 and 3, but the hardware documentation refers to them as channels 0,
2, 4 and 6.)  In differential mode, the setting of the channel enable
bits in the command1 register should depend on whether the scan enable
bit is set.  Effectively, we need to double the comedi channel number
when the scan enable bit is not set in differential mode.  The scan
enable bit gets set when the AI scan mode is `MODE_MULT_CHAN_UP` or
`MODE_MULT_CHAN_DOWN`, and gets cleared when the AI scan mode is
`MODE_SINGLE_CHAN` or `MODE_SINGLE_CHAN_INTERVAL`.  The existing test
for whether the comedi channel number needs to be doubled in
differential mode is incorrect in `labpc_ai_cmd()`.  This patch corrects
the test.

Thanks to Tuomas for suggesting the fix.

commit 754ab5c0e55dd118273ca2c217c4d95e9fbc8259 upstream.

Comedi has two sorts of minor devices:
(a) normal board minor devices in the range 0 to
COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS-1 inclusive; and
(b) special subdevice minor devices in the range COMEDI_NUM_BOARD_MINORS
upwards that are used to open the same underlying comedi device as the
normal board minor devices, but with non-default read and write
subdevices for asynchronous commands.

The special subdevice minor devices get created when a board supporting
asynchronous commands is attached to a normal board minor device, and
destroyed when the board is detached from the normal board minor device.
One way to attach or detach a board is by using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG
ioctl.  This should only be used on normal board minors as the special
subdevice minors are too ephemeral.  In particular, the change
introduced in commit 7d3135af399e92cf4c9bbc5f86b6c140aab3b88c ("staging:
comedi: prevent auto-unconfig of manually configured devices") breaks
horribly for special subdevice minor devices.

Since there's no legitimate use for the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl on a
special subdevice minor device node, disallow it and return -ENOTTY.
