cdrom: use copy_to_user() without the underscores

2012-03-01T00:34:35+00:00

commit 822bfa51ce44f2c63c300fdb76dc99c4d5a5ca9f upstream.

"nframes" comes from the user and "nframes * CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW" can wrap
on 32 bit systems.  That would have been ok if we used the same wrapped
value for the copy, but we use a shifted value.  We should just use the
checked version of copy_to_user() because it's not going to make a
difference to the speed.

hwmon: (f75375s) Fix register write order when setting fans to full speed

2012-03-01T00:34:33+00:00

commit c1c1a3d012fe5e82a9a025fb4b5a4f8ee67a53f6 upstream.

By hwmon sysfs interface convention, setting pwm_enable to zero sets a fan
to full speed.  In the f75375s driver, this need be done by enabling
manual fan control, plus duty mode for the F875387 chip, and then setting
the maximum duty cycle.  Fix a bug where the two necessary register writes
were swapped, effectively discarding the setting to full-speed.

davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init

2012-03-01T00:34:32+00:00

commit 5d69703263d588dbb03f4e57091afd8942d96e6d upstream.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by

commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler

Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is
not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma
channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier
status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while
netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the
rx dma transfer is stopped.

The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of
traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring
the interface with DHCP.

The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
on the board.

After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported
by ifconfig is counting up.

This patch reverts commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.

Set the RX FIFO flush watermark lower.
According to Federico and JMicron's reply,
setting it to 16QW would be stable on most platforms.
Otherwise, user might experience packet drop issue.

scsi_pm: Fix bug in the SCSI power management handler

2012-03-01T00:34:30+00:00

commit fea6d607e154cf96ab22254ccb48addfd43d4cb5 upstream.

This patch (as1520) fixes a bug in the SCSI layer's power management
implementation.

LUN scanning can be carried out asynchronously in do_scan_async(), and
sd uses an asynchronous thread for the time-consuming parts of disk
probing in sd_probe_async().  Currently nothing coordinates these
async threads with system sleep transitions; they can and do attempt
to continue scanning/probing SCSI devices even after the host adapter
has been suspended.  As one might expect, the outcome is not ideal.

This is what the "prepare" stage of system suspend was created for.
After the prepare callback has been called for a host, target, or
device, drivers are not allowed to register any children underneath
them.  Currently the SCSI prepare callback is not implemented; this
patch rectifies that omission.

For SCSI hosts, the prepare routine calls scsi_complete_async_scans()
to wait until async scanning is finished.  It might be slightly more
efficient to wait only until the host in question has been scanned,
but there's currently no way to do that.  Besides, during a sleep
transition we will ultimately have to wait until all the host scanning
has finished anyway.

For SCSI devices, the prepare routine calls async_synchronize_full()
to wait until sd probing is finished.  The routine does nothing for
SCSI targets, because asynchronous target scanning is done only as
part of host scanning.

scsi_scan: Fix 'Poison overwritten' warning caused by using freed 'shost'

2012-03-01T00:34:30+00:00

commit 267a6ad4aefaafbde607804c60945bcf97f91c1b upstream.

In do_scan_async(), calling scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) may reference
freed shost, and cause Posison overwitten warning.
Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just
when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called
in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the
refcount of shost->shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects),
at this point, if references shost again, system will show following
warning msg.

To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost,
put it just before scsi_host_put() in function
scsi_finish_async_scan().

ath9k: stop on rates with idx -1 in ath9k rate control's .tx_status

commit 2504a6423b9ab4c36df78227055995644de19edb upstream.

Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they
encounter a rate with the index -1.  Checking for rate->count not being
zero is not enough.

Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in
ath_debug_stat_rc().

One consequence of the bug is discussed at

USB: Don't fail USB3 probe on missing legacy PCI IRQ.

2012-03-01T00:34:27+00:00

commit 68d07f64b8a11a852d48d1b05b724c3e20c0d94b upstream

Intel has a PCI USB xhci host controller on a new platform. It doesn't
have a line IRQ definition in BIOS.  The Linux driver refuses to
initialize this controller, but Windows works well because it only depends
on MSI.

Actually, Linux also can work for MSI.  This patch avoids the line IRQ
checking for USB3 HCDs in usb core PCI probe.  It allows the xHCI driver
to try to enable MSI or MSI-X first.  It will fail the probe if MSI
enabling failed and there's no legacy PCI IRQ.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.32.

[Maintainer note: This patch is a backport of commit
68d07f64b8a11a852d48d1b05b724c3e20c0d94b "USB: Don't fail USB3 probe on
missing legacy PCI IRQ." to the 3.0 kernel.  Note, the original patch
description was wrong.  We should not back port this to kernels older
than 2.6.36, since that was the first kernel to support MSI and MSI-X
for xHCI hosts.  These systems will just not work without MSI support,
so the probe should fail on kernels older than 2.6.36.]

usb-storage: fix freezing of the scanning thread

2012-03-01T00:34:27+00:00

commit bb94a406682770a35305daaa241ccdb7cab399de upstream.

This patch (as1521b) fixes the interaction between usb-storage's
scanning thread and the freezer.  The current implementation has a
race: If the device is unplugged shortly after being plugged in and
just as a system sleep begins, the scanning thread may get frozen
before the khubd task.  Khubd won't be able to freeze until the
disconnect processing is complete, and the disconnect processing can't
proceed until the scanning thread finishes, so the sleep transition
will fail.

The implementation in the 3.2 kernel suffers from an additional
problem.  There the scanning thread calls set_freezable_with_signal(),
and the signals sent by the freezer will mess up the thread's I/O
delays, which are all interruptible.

The solution to both problems is the same: Replace the kernel thread
used for scanning with a delayed-work routine on the system freezable
work queue.  Freezable work queues have the nice property that you can
cancel a work item even while the work queue is frozen, and no signals
are needed.

The 3.2 version of this patch solves the problem in Bugzilla #42730.
