[ Upstream commit 5377adb092664d336ac212499961cac5e8728794 ]

usb_parse_ss_endpoint_companion() now decodes the burst multiplier
correctly in order to check that it's &lt;= 3, but still uses the wrong
expression if warning that it's &gt; 3.

<title>usb: core : hub: Fix BOS 'NULL pointer' kernel panic</title>

[ Upstream commit 464ad8c43a9ead98c2b0eaed86bea727f2ad106e ]

When a USB 3.0 mass storage device is disconnected in transporting
state, storage device driver may handle it as a transport error and
reset the device by invoking usb_reset_and_verify_device()
and following could happen:

in usb_reset_and_verify_device():
   udev-&gt;bos = NULL;

For U1/U2 enabled devices, driver will disable LPM, and in some
conditions:
   from usb_unlocked_disable_lpm()
    --&gt; usb_disable_lpm()
    --&gt; usb_enable_lpm()
        udev-&gt;bos-&gt;ss_cap-&gt;bU1devExitLat;

And it causes 'NULL pointer' and 'kernel panic':

[  157.976257] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
at virtual address 00000010
...
[  158.026400] PC is at usb_enable_link_state+0x34/0x2e0
[  158.031442] LR is at usb_enable_lpm+0x98/0xac

...
[  158.214954] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

This commit moves 'udev-&gt;bos = NULL' behind usb_unlocked_disable_lpm()
to prevent from NULL pointer access.

Issue can be reproduced by following setup:
1) A SS pen drive behind a SS hub connected to the host.
2) Transporting data between the pen drive and the host.
3) Abruptly disconnect hub and pen drive from host.
4) With a chance it crashes.

[ Upstream commit 183e53e8ddf4165c3763181682189362d6b403f7 ]

The CPPI-4.1 driver selects TI_CPPI41, which is a dmaengine
driver and that may not be available when CONFIG_DMADEVICES
is not set:

warning: (USB_TI_CPPI41_DMA) selects TI_CPPI41 which has unmet direct dependencies (DMADEVICES &amp;&amp; ARCH_OMAP)

This adds an extra dependency to avoid generating warnings in randconfig
builds. Ideally we'd remove the 'select' statement, but that has the
potential to break defconfig files.

[ Upstream commit 391e6dcb37857d5659b53def2f41e2f56850d33c ]

pxa27x disconnects pullups on suspend but doesn't
notify the gadget driver about it, so gadget driver
can't disable the endpoints it was using.

This causes problems on resume because gadget core
will think endpoints are still enabled and just
ignore the following usb_ep_enable().

Fix this problem by calling
gadget_driver-&gt;disconnect().

[ Upstream commit ad87e03213b552a5c33d5e1e7a19a73768397010 ]

Some USB device / host controller combinations seem to have problems
with Link Power Management.  For example, Steinar found that his xHCI
controller wouldn't handle bandwidth calculations correctly for two
video cards simultaneously when LPM was enabled, even though the bus
had plenty of bandwidth available.

This patch introduces a new quirk flag for devices that should remain
disabled for LPM, and creates quirk entries for Steinar's devices.

[ Upstream commit f33a7f72e5fc033daccbb8d4753d7c5c41a4d67b ]

Some modems, such as the Telit UE910, are using an Infineon Flash Loader
utility. It has two interfaces, 2/2/0 (Abstract Modem) and 10/0/0 (CDC
Data). The latter can be used as a serial interface to upgrade the
firmware of the modem. However, that isn't possible when the cdc-acm
driver takes control of the device.

The following is an explanation of the behaviour by Daniele Palmas during
discussion on linux-usb.

"This is what happens when the device is turned on (without modifying
the drivers):

[155492.352031] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 27 using ehci-pci
[155492.485429] usb 1-3: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 endpoint 0x81 has an invalid bInterval 255, changing to 11
[155492.485436] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=058b, idProduct=0041
[155492.485439] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
[155492.485952] cdc_acm 1-3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

This is the flashing device that is caught by the cdc-acm driver. Once
the ttyACM appears, the application starts sending a magic string
(simple write on the file descriptor) to keep the device in flashing
mode. If this magic string is not properly received in a certain time
interval, the modem goes on in normal operative mode:

[155493.748094] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 27
[155494.916025] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci
[155495.059978] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=1bc7, idProduct=0021
[155495.059983] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[155495.059986] usb 1-3: Product: 6 CDC-ACM + 1 CDC-ECM

[ Upstream commit f33a7f72e5fc033daccbb8d4753d7c5c41a4d67b ]

Some modems, such as the Telit UE910, are using an Infineon Flash Loader
utility. It has two interfaces, 2/2/0 (Abstract Modem) and 10/0/0 (CDC
Data). The latter can be used as a serial interface to upgrade the
firmware of the modem. However, that isn't possible when the cdc-acm
driver takes control of the device.

The following is an explanation of the behaviour by Daniele Palmas during
discussion on linux-usb.

"This is what happens when the device is turned on (without modifying
the drivers):

[155492.352031] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 27 using ehci-pci
[155492.485429] usb 1-3: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 endpoint 0x81 has an invalid bInterval 255, changing to 11
[155492.485436] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=058b, idProduct=0041
[155492.485439] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
[155492.485952] cdc_acm 1-3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

This is the flashing device that is caught by the cdc-acm driver. Once
the ttyACM appears, the application starts sending a magic string
(simple write on the file descriptor) to keep the device in flashing
mode. If this magic string is not properly received in a certain time
interval, the modem goes on in normal operative mode:

[155493.748094] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, device number 27
[155494.916025] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

[ Upstream commit 1f2c6651f69c14d0d3a9cfbda44ea101b02160ba ]

Currently we leak parent_spec and trigger a "parent reference
underflow" warning if rbd_dev_create() in rbd_dev_probe_parent() fails.
The problem is we take the !parent out_err branch and that only drops
refcounts; parent_spec that would've been freed had we called
rbd_dev_unparent() remains and triggers rbd_warn() in
rbd_dev_parent_put() - at that point we have parent_spec != NULL and
parent_ref == 0, so counter ends up being -1 after the decrement.

Redo rbd_dev_probe_parent() to fix this.
