Revert "Staging: rtl8188eu: rtw_efuse: Use sizeof type *pointer instead of sizeof type."

2016-06-17T18:21:45+00:00

This reverts commit b5e12ec38331 ("Staging: rtl8188eu: rtw_efuse: Use
sizeof type *pointer instead of sizeof type.").

This commit is wrong, the rtw_malloc2d helper function takes the size of
the array elements as its 3th argument, whereas sizeof(*eFuseWord)
gives the size of a pointer instead of the size of a u16.

Since sizeof(void *) > sizeof(u16) this has no adverse effects, but it
is still wrong.

Revert "Staging: drivers: rtl8188eu: use sizeof(*ptr) instead of sizeof(struct)"

2016-06-17T18:21:45+00:00

This reverts commit 99aded71b52c ("Staging: drivers: rtl8188eu: use
sizeof(*ptr) instead of sizeof(struct)").

This commit is wrong, as adapt->HalData has a type of "void *", so
now we are allocating a much to small struct, which causes the driver
to overwrite random memory which leads to a non working driver and
various system crashes.

staging: lustre: lnet: Don't access NULL NI on failure path

2016-06-10T01:33:27+00:00

In kiblnd_passive_connect(), if we are failing the connection
attempt because we cannot find a valid NI (we have a NULL NI),
we were coring after the "goto fail" because the failure
path was assuming non-NULL NI.

This patch ensures we don't dereference a NULL NI on that
failure path.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma

2016-05-28T18:04:16+00:00

Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is the second group of code for the 4.7 merge window.  It looks
  large, but only in one sense.  I'll get to that in a minute.  The list
  of changes here breaks down as follows:

   - Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers

     This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the
     hardware counters RDMA devices might support so drivers don't need
     to code this up repeatedly themselves

   - SendOnlyFullMember multicast support

   - IB router support

   - A couple misc fixes

   - The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1
     driver out of staging

  There was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had
  in the first pull request but they weren't.  So that added to the
  length of the hfi1 section here.

  As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight
  forward.

  The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about
  how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion.  The
  write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the
  IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications.  The writev
  interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures.
  The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely
  different event mechanism.

  With the security patch, we put security checks on the write
  interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon.  Now,
  we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls
  from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications.
  With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on
  their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to
  the list later).

  As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the
  staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the
  staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area.

  Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches
  in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in
  a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug
  interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their
  hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that),
  the line count, especially the removal count, is high"

switch ->setxattr() to passing dentry and inode separately

2016-05-28T00:09:16+00:00

smack ->d_instantiate() uses ->setxattr(), so to be able to call it before
we'd hashed the new dentry and attached it to inode, we need ->setxattr()
instances getting the inode as an explicit argument rather than obtaining
it from dentry.

Similar change for ->getxattr() had been done in commit ce23e64.  Unlike
->getxattr() (which is used by both selinux and smack instances of
->d_instantiate()) ->setxattr() is used only by smack one and unfortunately
it got missed back then.

IB/hfi1: Move driver out of staging

2016-05-26T15:35:14+00:00

The TODO list for the hfi1 driver was completed during 4.6. In addition
other objections raised (which are far beyond what was in the TODO list)
have been addressed as well. It is now time to remove the driver from
staging and into the drivers/infiniband sub-tree.

IB/hfi1: Do not free hfi1 cdev parent structure early

2016-05-26T15:35:13+00:00

The deletion of a cdev is not a fence for holding off references to the
structure. The driver attempts to delete the cdev and then proceeds to
free the parent structure, the hfi1_devdata, or dd. This can potentially
lead to a kernel panic in situations where a user has an FD for the cdev
open, and the pci device gets removed. If the user then closes the FD
there will be a NULL dereference when trying to do put on the cdev's
kobject.

Fix this by pointing the cdev's kobject.parent at a new kobject embedded
in its parent structure. Also take a reference when the device is opened
and put it back when it is closed.

2016-05-26T15:35:13+00:00

Remove the write() handler for user space commands now that ioctl
handling is available. User apps will need to change to use ioctl from
this point forward.
