The USB hid implementation does retrieve the reports during the start.
However, this implementation does not call the HID command GET_REPORT
(which would fetch the current status of each report), but use the
DATA command, which is an Output Report (so transmitting data from the
host to the device).
The Wiimote controller is already guarded against this problem in the
protocol, but it is not conformant to the specification to set all the
reports to 0 on start.

We can re-enable hidinput_input_event to allow the leds of bluetooth
keyboards to be set.
Now the callbacks uses hid core to retrieve the right HID report to
send, so this version is safer.

implement() is setting bytes in LE data stream. In case the data is not
aligned to 64bits, it reads past the allocated buffer. It doesn't really
change any value there (it's properly bitmasked), but in case that this
read past the boundary hits a page boundary, pagefault happens when
accessing 64bits of 'x' in implement(), and kernel oopses.

This happens much more often when numbered reports are in use, as the
initial 8bit skip in the buffer makes the whole process work on values
which are not aligned to 64bits.

This problem dates back to attempts in 2005 and 2006 to make implement()
and extract() as generic as possible, and even back then the problem
was realized by Adam Kroperlin, but falsely assumed to be impossible
to cause any harm:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47690.html

I have made several attempts at fixing it "on the spot" directly in
implement(), but the results were horrible; the special casing for processing
last 64bit chunk and switching to different math makes it unreadable mess.

I therefore took a path to allocate a few bytes more which will never make
it into final report, but are there as a cushion for all the 64bit math
operations happening in implement() and extract().

All callers of hid_output_report() are converted at the same time to allocate
the buffer by newly introduced hid_alloc_report_buf() helper.

Bruno noticed that the whole raw_size test can be dropped as well, as
hid_alloc_report_buf() makes sure that the buffer is always of a proper
size.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
  window.  The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
  this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
  made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
  trickeled in.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
      commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

      From Eliezer Tamir.

   2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
      Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
      Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

   4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
      Pavel Emelyanov.

   5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
      Rony Efraim.

   6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

   7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
      Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

   8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
      from Cong Wang.

   9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
      Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport.  In particular,
      support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

  10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel
      Borkmann.

  11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
      devices.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
      manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
      From Daniel Borkmann.

  13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
      from Johannes Berg.

  14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
      by using an rbtree.  From Eric Dumazet.

  15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
      Cheng.

  16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
      Horman.

  17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
      pointer that's passed into them.  Use this to properly handle
      network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event().  From Jiri
      Pirko and Timo Teräs.

  18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
      Huewe.

  19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
      O(1) calculation instead.  From Eric Dumazet.

  20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
      like ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

  22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
      during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding.  From
      Willem de Bruijn.

  23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
      burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead.  Also
      from Eric Dumazet.

  25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
      from Vlad Yasevich.

  26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets.  From Lorenzo Colitti.

  27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
      too, from David Majnemer.

  28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
      to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

  29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
      upd_v6_push_pending_frames().  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

For NULL terminated string, need always let it ended by zero.

Since have already called memcpy() to initialize 'ci', so need not
redundant initialization.

Better use ''if(session-&gt;hid) {} else if(session-&gt;input) {}"" instead
of ''if(session-&gt;hid) {}; if(session-&gt;input) {};''

<title>HID: Bluetooth: hidp: register HID devices async</title>

While l2cap_user callbacks are running, the whole hci_dev is locked. Even
if we would add more fine-grained locking to HCI core, it would still be
called from the non-reentrant rx work-queue and thus block the event
processing.

However, if we want to perform synchronous I/O during HID device
registration (eg., to perform device-detection), we need the HCI core
to be able to dispatch incoming data.

Therefore, we now move device-registration to a separate worker. The HCI
core can continue running and we add devices asynchronously in another
kernel thread. Device removal is synchronized and waits for the worker
to exit before calling the usual device removal functions.

If l2cap_user-&gt;remove is called before the thread registered the devices,
we set "terminate" to true and the thread will skip it. If
l2cap_user-&gt;remove is called after it, we notice this as the device
is no longer in HIDP_SESSION_PREPARING state and simply unregister the
device as we did before.
There is no new deadlock as we now call hidp_session_add_dev() with
one lock less held (the HCI lock) and it cannot itself call back into
HCI as it was called with the HCI-lock held before.

One might wonder whether this can block during device unregistration.
But we set "terminate" to true and wake the HIDP thread up _before_
unregistering the HID/input devices. Therefore, all pending HID I/O
operations are canceled. All further I/O attempts will fail with ENODEV
or EIO. So all latency we can get are few context-switches, but no
timeouts or blocking I/O waits!

This change also prepares for a long standing HID bug. All HID devices
that register power_supply devices need to be able to handle callbacks
during registration (a power_supply oddity that cannot easily be fixed).
So with this patch available, we can allow HID I/O during registration
by calling the recently introduced hid_device_io_start/stop helpers,
which currently are a no-op for bluetooth due to this locking.

Note that we cannot do the same for input devices. input-core doesn't
allow us to call input_event() asynchronously to input_register_device(),
which HID-core kindly allows (for good reasons).
Fixing input-core to allow this isn't as easy as it sounds and is,
beside simplifying HIDP, not really an improvement. Hence, we still
register input devices synchronously as we did before. Only HID devices
are registered asynchronously.
