commit ae5943de8c8c4438cbac5cda599ff0b88c224468 upstream.

This error happens because PIPEnsControlOut and PIPEnsControlIn unlock the
spin lock for delay, letting in another thread.

The patch moves the current MP_SET_FLAG to before filling
of sUsbCtlRequest for pControlURB and clears it in event of failing.

Any thread calling either function while fMP_CONTROL_READS or fMP_CONTROL_WRITES
flags set will return STATUS_FAILURE.

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.

<title>NLS: improve UTF8 -&gt; UTF16 string conversion routine</title>

commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.

The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
different patch.

<content type='text'>
commit 1ee4c55fc9620451b2a825d793042a7e0775391b upstream.

vt6656 has several headers that use the #pragma pack(1) directive to
enable structure packing, but never disable it.  The layout of
structures defined in other headers can then depend on which order the
various headers are included in, breaking the One Definition Rule.

In practice this resulted in crashes on x86_64 until the order of header
inclusion was changed for some files in commit 11d404cb56ecd ('staging:
vt6656: fix headers and add cfg80211.').  But we need a proper fix that
won't be affected by future changes to the order of inclusion.

This removes the #pragma pack(1) directives and adds __packed to the
structure definitions for which packing appears to have been intended.

The 'ni_at_a2150' module links to `cfc_write_to_buffer` in the
'comedi_fc' module, so selecting 'COMEDI_NI_AT_A2150' in the kernel config
needs to also select 'COMEDI_FC'.

commit c43435d7722134ed1fda58ce1025f41029bd58ad upstream.

comedi_auto_config() associates a Comedi minor device number with an
auto-configured hardware device and comedi_auto_unconfig() disassociates
it.  Currently, these use the hardware device's private data pointer to
point to some allocated storage holding the minor device number.  This
is a bit of a waste of the hardware device's private data pointer,
preventing it from being used for something more useful by the low-level
comedi device drivers.  For example, it would make more sense if
comedi_usb_auto_config() was passed a pointer to the struct
usb_interface instead of the struct usb_device, but this cannot be done
currently because the low-level comedi drivers already use the private
data pointer in the struct usb_interface for something more useful.

This patch stops the comedi core hijacking the hardware device's private
data pointer.  Instead, comedi_auto_config() stores a pointer to the
hardware device's struct device in the struct comedi_device_file_info
associated with the minor device number, and comedi_auto_unconfig()
calls new function comedi_find_board_minor() to recover the minor device
number associated with the hardware device.
