commit 681fef8380eb818c0b845fca5d2ab1dcbab114ee upstream.

The stack object “ci” has a total size of 8 bytes. Its last 3 bytes
are padding bytes which are not initialized and leaked to userland
via “copy_to_user”.

commit 32cb0b37098f4beeff5ad9e325f11b42a6ede56c upstream.

The Acer C120 LED Projector is a USB-3 connected pico projector which
takes both its power and video data from USB-3.

In combination with some hubs this device does not play well with
lpm, so disable lpm for it.

<title>USB: leave LPM alone if possible when binding/unbinding interface drivers</title>

commit 6fb650d43da3e7054984dc548eaa88765a94d49f upstream.

When a USB driver is bound to an interface (either through probing or
by claiming it) or is unbound from an interface, the USB core always
disables Link Power Management during the transition and then
re-enables it afterward.  The reason is because the driver might want
to prevent hub-initiated link power transitions, in which case the HCD
would have to recalculate the various LPM parameters.  This
recalculation takes place when LPM is re-enabled and the new
parameters are sent to the device and its parent hub.

However, if the driver does not want to prevent hub-initiated link
power transitions then none of this work is necessary.  The parameters
don't need to be recalculated, and LPM doesn't need to be disabled and
re-enabled.

It turns out that disabling and enabling LPM can be time-consuming,
enough so that it interferes with user programs that want to claim and
release interfaces rapidly via usbfs.  Since the usbfs kernel driver
doesn't set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag, we can speed things up
and get the user programs to work by leaving LPM alone whenever the
flag isn't set.

And while we're improving the way disable_hub_initiated_lpm gets used,
let's also fix its kerneldoc.

not pass data to Device Controller but only to Host Controllers.

commit e5bdfd50d6f76077bf8441d130c606229e100d40 upstream.

This reverts commit d8f00cd685f5c8e0def8593e520a7fef12c22407.

This upstream commit is causing an oops:
d8f00cd685f5 ("usb: hub: do not clear BOS field during reset device")

This patch has already been included in several -stable kernels.  Here
are the affected kernels:
4.5.0-rc4 (current git)
4.4.2
4.3.6 (currently in review)
4.1.18
3.18.27
3.14.61

How to reproduce the problem:
Boot kernel with slub debugging enabled (otherwise memory corruption
will cause random oopses later instead of immediately)
Plug in USB 3.0 disk to xhci USB 3.0 port
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/null bs=65536
(where /dev/sdc is the USB 3.0 disk)
Unplug USB cable while dd is still going
Oops is immediate:

commit 264904ccc33c604d4b3141bbd33808152dfac45b upstream.

Some devices I got show an inability to operate right after
power on if they are already connected. They are beyond recovery
if the descriptors are requested multiple times. So in case of
a timeout we rather bail early and reset again. But it must be
done only on the first loop lest we get into a reset/time out
spiral that can be overcome with a retry.

This patch is a rework of a patch that fell through the cracks.
