<content type='text'>
This patch (as1545) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers.  Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.

After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state.  Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.

The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep.  Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.

This fixes Bugzilla #42728.

<title>USB: fix deadlock in bConfigurationValue attribute method</title>

<id>8963c487a80b4688c9e68dcc504a90074aacc145</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as154) fixes a self-deadlock that occurs when userspace
writes to the bConfigurationValue sysfs attribute for a hub with
children.  The task tries to lock the bandwidth_mutex at a time when
it already owns the lock:

	The attribute's method calls usb_set_configuration(),
	which calls usb_disable_device() with the bandwidth_mutex
	held.

	usb_disable_device() unregisters the existing interfaces,
	which causes the hub driver to be unbound.

	The hub_disconnect() routine calls hub_quiesce(), which
	calls usb_disconnect() for each of the hub's children.

	usb_disconnect() attempts to acquire the bandwidth_mutex
	around a call to usb_disable_device().

The solution is to make usb_disable_device() acquire the mutex for
itself instead of requiring the caller to hold it.  Then the mutex can
cover only the bandwidth deallocation operation and not the region
where the interfaces are unregistered.

This has the potential to change system behavior slightly when a
config change races with another config or altsetting change.  Some of
the bandwidth released from the old config might get claimed by the
other config or altsetting, make it impossible to restore the old
config in case of a failure.  But since we don't try to recover from
config-change failures anyway, this doesn't matter.

[This should be marked for stable kernels that contain the commit
fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 "USB: Free bandwidth when
usb_disable_device is called."
That commit was marked for stable kernels as old as 2.6.32.]

<title>USB: fix bug of device descriptor got from superspeed device</title>

<content type='text'>
When the Seagate Goflex USB3.0 device is attached to VIA xHCI
host, sometimes the device will downgrade mode to high speed.
By the USB analyzer, I found the device finished the link
training process and worked at superspeed mode. But the device
descriptor got from the device shows the device works at 2.1.
It is very strange and seems like the device controller of
Seagate Goflex has a little confusion.

The first 8 bytes of device descriptor should be:
12 01 00 03 00 00 00 09

But the first 8 bytes of wrong device descriptor are:
12 01 10 02 00 00 00 40

The wrong device descriptor caused the initialization of mass
storage failed. After a while, the device would be recognized
as a high speed device and works fine.

This patch will warm reset the device to fix the issue after
finding the bcdUSB field of device descriptor isn't 0x0300
but the speed mode of device is superspeed.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, or ones that
contain the commit 75d7cf72ab9fa01dc70877aa5c68e8ef477229dc "usbcore:
refine warm reset logic".

<title>USB: fix race between root-hub suspend and remote wakeup</title>
<updated>2012-04-09T22:43:21+00:00</updated>

<name>Alan Stern</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=879d38e6bc36d73b0ac40ec9b0d839fda9fa8b1a'/>
<id>879d38e6bc36d73b0ac40ec9b0d839fda9fa8b1a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch (as1533) fixes a race between root-hub suspend and remote
wakeup.  If a wakeup event occurs while a root hub is suspending, it
might not cause the suspend to fail.  Although the host controller
drivers check for pending wakeup events at the start of their
bus_suspend routines, they generally do not check for wakeup events
while the routines are running.

In addition, if a wakeup event occurs any time after khubd is frozen
and before the root hub is fully suspended, it might not cause a
system sleep transition to fail.  For example, the host controller
drivers do not fail root-hub suspends when a connect-change event is
pending.

To fix both these issues, this patch causes hcd_bus_suspend() to query
the controller driver's hub_status_data method after a root hub is
suspended, if the root hub is enabled for wakeup.  Any pending status
changes will count as wakeup events, causing the root hub to be
resumed and the overall suspend to fail with -EBUSY.

A significant point is that not all events are reflected immediately
in the status bits.  Both EHCI and UHCI controllers notify the CPU
when remote wakeup begins on a port, but the port's suspend-change
status bit doesn't get set until after the port has completed the
transition out of the suspend state, some 25 milliseconds later.
Consequently, the patch will interpret any nonzero return value from
hub_status_data as indicating a pending event, even if none of the
status bits are set in the data buffer.  Follow-up patches make the
necessary changes to ehci-hcd and uhci-hcd.

<title>USB: don't ignore suspend errors for root hubs</title>

This patch (as1532) fixes a mistake in the USB suspend code.  When the
system is going to sleep, we should ignore errors in powering down USB
devices, because they don't really matter.  The devices will go to low
power anyway when the entire USB bus gets suspended (except for
SuperSpeed devices; maybe they will need special treatment later).

However we should not ignore errors in suspending root hubs,
especially if the error indicates that the suspend raced with a wakeup
request.  Doing so might leave the bus powered on while the system was
supposed to be asleep, or it might cause the suspend of the root hub's
parent controller device to fail, or it might cause a wakeup request
to be ignored.

The patch fixes the problem by ignoring errors only when the device in
question is not a root hub.

<title>USB: don't clear urb-&gt;dev in scatter-gather library</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch (as1517b) fixes an error in the USB scatter-gather library.
The library code uses urb-&gt;dev to determine whether or nor an URB is
currently active; the completion handler sets urb-&gt;dev to NULL.
However the core unlinking routines need to use urb-&gt;dev.  Since
unlinking always racing with completion, the completion handler must
not clear urb-&gt;dev -- it can lead to invalid memory accesses when a
transfer has to be cancelled.

This patch fixes the problem by getting rid of the lines that clear
urb-&gt;dev after urb has been submitted.  As a result we may end up
trying to unlink an URB that failed in submission or that has already
completed, so an extra check is added after each unlink to avoid
printing an error message when this happens.  The checks are updated
in both sg_complete() and sg_cancel(), and the second is updated to
match the first (currently it prints out unnecessary warning messages
if a device is unplugged while a transfer is in progress).

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

&lt;smpl&gt;
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i-&gt;i_private)
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
|
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};
&lt;/smpl&gt;

Pull vfs pile 1 from Al Viro:
 "This is _not_ all; in particular, Miklos' and Jan's stuff is not there
  yet."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (64 commits)
  ext4: initialization of ext4_li_mtx needs to be done earlier
  debugfs-related mode_t whack-a-mole
  hfsplus: add an ioctl to bless files
  hfsplus: change finder_info to u32
  hfsplus: initialise userflags
  qnx4: new helper - try_extent()
  qnx4: get rid of qnx4_bread/qnx4_getblk
  take removal of PF_FORKNOEXEC to flush_old_exec()
  trim includes in inode.c
  um: uml_dup_mmap() relies on -&gt;mmap_sem being held, but activate_mm() doesn't hold it
  um: embed -&gt;stub_pages[] into mmu_context
  gadgetfs: list_for_each_safe() misuse
  ocfs2: fix leaks on failure exits in module_init
  ecryptfs: make register_filesystem() the last potential failure exit
  ntfs: forgets to unregister sysctls on register_filesystem() failure
  logfs: missing cleanup on register_filesystem() failure
  jfs: mising cleanup on register_filesystem() failure
  make configfs_pin_fs() return root dentry on success
  configfs: configfs_create_dir() has parent dentry in dentry-&gt;d_parent
  configfs: sanitize configfs_create()
