mmc: sdio: avoid spurious calls to interrupt handlers

2012-06-01T07:18:26+00:00

commit bbbc4c4d8c5face097d695f9bf3a39647ba6b7e7 upstream.

Commit 06e8935feb ("optimized SDIO IRQ handling for single irq")
introduced some spurious calls to SDIO function interrupt handlers,
such as when the SDIO IRQ thread is started, or the safety check
performed upon a system resume.  Let's add a flag to perform the
optimization only when a real interrupt is signaled by the host
driver and we know there is no point confirming it.

usbhid: prevent deadlock during timeout

2012-06-01T07:18:17+00:00

commit 8815bb09af21316aeb5f8948b24ac62181670db2 upstream.

On some HCDs usb_unlink_urb() can directly call the
completion handler. That limits the spinlocks that can
be taken in the handler to locks not held while calling
usb_unlink_urb()
To prevent a race with resubmission, this patch exposes
usbcore's infrastructure for blocking submission, uses it
and so drops the lock without causing a race in usbhid.

usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2)

2012-05-15T17:41:42+00:00

Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid
recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may
cause skb traversing races:
	- after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released,
	the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue,
	even be released
	- in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained
	by next pointer of the last skb
	- so maybe trigger oops or other problems

This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink'
state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if
the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the
refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs.

The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch:
always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is
to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

block: fix buffer overflow when printing partition UUIDs

2012-05-15T06:22:04+00:00

6d1d8050b4bc8 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"
added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has
enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'.

Unfortunately, b5af921ec0233 "init: add support for root devices
specified by partition UUID" supplied 33 bytes buffer to the function
leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.

  Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack corrupted in: ffffffff81b14c7e

Fix blkdev.h build errors when BLOCK=n

2012-05-14T06:29:23+00:00

I see builds failing with:

  CC [M]  drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.o
In file included from drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c:15:
include/linux/blkdev.h:1404: warning: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list

make[4]: *** [drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.o] Error 1

This is because dw_mmc.c includes linux/blkdev.h as the very first file,
and when CONFIG_BLOCK=n, blkdev.h omits all includes.

As it requires linux/sched.h even when CONFIG_BLOCK=n, move this out of
the #ifdef.

block: don't mark buffers beyond end of disk as mapped

Hi,

We have a bug report open where a squashfs image mounted on ppc64 would
exhibit errors due to trying to read beyond the end of the disk.  It can
easily be reproduced by doing the following:

Squashfs manages to read in the end block(s) of the disk during the
mount operation.  Then, when dd reads the block device, it leads to
block_read_full_page being called with buffers that are beyond end of
disk, but are marked as mapped.  Thus, it would end up submitting read
I/O against them, resulting in the errors mentioned above.  I fixed the
problem by modifying init_page_buffers to only set the buffer mapped if
it fell inside of i_size.

Cheers,
Jeff
