commit cef988642cdac44e910a27cb6e8166c96f86a0df upstream.

Comedi's read and write file operation handlers (`comedi_read()` and
`comedi_write()`) currently call `copy_to_user()` or `copy_from_user()`
whilst in the `TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE` state, which falls foul of the
`might_fault()` checks when enabled.  Fix it by setting the current task
state back to `TASK_RUNNING` a bit earlier before calling these
functions.

commit 15d5193104a457d5151840247e3bce561c42e3e9 upstream.

As reported by Éric Piel on the Comedi mailing list (see
&lt;https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comedi_list/ueZiR7vTLOU/discussion&gt;),
the analog output asynchronous commands are running too fast with a
period 50 ns shorter than it should be.  This affects all boards with AO
command support that are supported by the "ni_pcimio", "ni_atmio", and
"ni_mio_cs" drivers.

This is a regression bug introduced by commit 080e6795cba3 ("staging:
comedi: ni_mio_common: Cleans up/clarifies ni_ao_cmd"), specifically,
this line in `ni_ao_cmd_set_update()`:

		/* following line: N-1 per STC */
		ni_stc_writel(dev, trigvar - 1, NISTC_AO_UI_LOADA_REG);

The `trigvar` variable value comes from a call to `ni_ns_to_timer()`
which converts a timer period in nanoseconds to a hardware divisor
value. The function already reduces the divisor by 1 as required by the
hardware, so the above line should not reduce it further by 1.  Fix it
by replacing `trigvar` by `trigvar - 1` in the above line, and remove
the misleading comment.

commit a9332e9ad09c2644c99058fcf6ae2f355e93ce74 upstream.

There is a clean-up bug in the core comedi module initialization
functions, `comedi_init()`.  If the `comedi_num_legacy_minors` module
parameter is non-zero (and valid), it creates that many "legacy" devices
and registers them in SysFS.  A failure causes the function to clean up
and return an error.  Unfortunately, it fails to destroy the "comedi"
class that was created earlier.  Fix it by adding a call to
`class_destroy(comedi_class)` at the appropriate place in the clean-up
sequence.

commit 8ec04a491825e08068e92bed0bba7821893b6433 upstream.

The timer expiry routine `jr3_pci_poll_dev()` checks for expiry by
checking whether the absolute value of `jiffies` (stored in local
variable `now`) is greater than the expected expiry time in jiffy units.
This will fail when `jiffies` wraps around.  Also, it seems to make
sense to handle the expiry one jiffy earlier than the current test.  Use
`time_after_eq()` to check for expiry.

commit 45292be0b3db0b7f8286683b376e2d9f949d11f9 upstream.

For some reason, the driver does not consider allocation of the
subdevice private data to be a fatal error when attaching the COMEDI
device.  It tests the subdevice private data pointer for validity at
certain points, but omits some crucial tests.  In particular,
`jr3_pci_auto_attach()` calls `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` to allocate and
initialize the subdevice private data, but the same function
subsequently dereferences the pointer to access the `next_time_min` and
`next_time_max` members without checking it first.  The other missing
test is in the timer expiry routine `jr3_pci_poll_dev()`, but it will
crash before it gets that far.

Fix the bug by returning `-ENOMEM` from `jr3_pci_auto_attach()` as soon
as one of the calls to `jr3_pci_alloc_spriv()` returns `NULL`.  The
COMEDI core will subsequently call `jr3_pci_detach()` to clean up.

commit 857a661020a2de3a0304edf33ad656abee100891 upstream.

Commit 0557344e2149 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: fix local var for
32-bit read") changed the type of local variable `d` from `unsigned
short` to `unsigned int` to fix a bug introduced in
commit 9c340ac934db ("staging: comedi: ni_stc.h: add read/write
callbacks to struct ni_private") when reading AI data for NI PCI-6110
and PCI-6111 cards.  Unfortunately, other parts of the function rely on
the variable being `unsigned short` when an offset value in local
variable `signbits` is added to `d` before writing the value to the
`data` array:

			d += signbits;
		  	data[n] = d;

The `signbits` variable will be non-zero in bipolar mode, and is used to
convert the hardware's 2's complement, 16-bit numbers to Comedi's
straight binary sample format (with 0 representing the most negative
voltage).  This breaks because `d` is now 32 bits wide instead of 16
bits wide, so after the addition of `signbits`, `data[n]` ends up being
set to values above 65536 for negative voltages.  This affects all
supported "E series" cards except PCI-6143 (and PXI-6143). Fix it by
ANDing the value written to the `data[n]` with the mask 0xffff.

For NI M Series cards, the Comedi `insn_read` handler for the AI
subdevice is broken due to ANDing the value read from the AI FIFO data
register with an incorrect mask.  The incorrect mask clears all but the
most significant bit of the sample data.  It should preserve all the
sample data bits.  Correct it.

`ni_tio_clock_period_ps()` used to return the clock period in
picoseconds, and had a `BUG()` call for invalid cases.  It was changed
to pass the clock period back via a pointer parameter and return an
error for the invalid cases.  Unfortunately the code to handle
user-specified clock sources with user-specified clock period is still
returning the clock period the old way, which can lead to the caller not
getting the clock period, or seeing an unexpected error.  Fix it by
passing the clock period via the pointer parameter and returning `0`.
