[patch 01/28] USB: fix hcd interrupt disabling

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: usb-fix-hcd-interrupt-disabling.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1745 bytes --]


2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>

commit 83a798207361cc26385187b2e71efa2b5d75de7f upstream

Commit de85422b94ddb23c021126815ea49414047c13dc, 'USB: fix interrupt
disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers' changed usb_add_hcd()
to strip IRQF_DISABLED from irqflags prior to calling request_irq()
with the justification that such a removal was necessary for shared
interrupts to work properly.  Unfortunately, the change in that commit
unconditionally removes the IRQF_DISABLED flag, causing problems on
platforms that don't use a shared interrupt but require IRQF_DISABLED.
This change adds a check for IRQF_SHARED prior to removing the
IRQF_DISABLED flag.

Fixes the PS3 system startup hang reported with recent Fedora and
OpenSUSE kernels.

Note that this problem is hidden when CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y (ps3_defconfig),
as local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() is defined as a null statement for
that config.

[patch 02/28] pxa2xx_spi: dma bugfixes

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: pxa2xx_spi-dma-bugfixes.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4822 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Ned Forrester <nforrester@whoi.edu>

commit 7e96445533ac3f4f7964646a202ff3620602fab4 upstream

Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  The first bug is in all
versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel,
and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can
issue large DMA reads).

 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing,
    but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode.
    Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers.

 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode.  A
    test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA
    or PIO mode.  Worked around by rejecting only large transfers
    with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers
    larger than 8191 to use PIO mode.  A rate limited warning is
    issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

[patch 03/28] pxa2xx_spi: chipselect bugfixes

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: pxa2xx_spi-chipselect-bugfixes.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5814 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Ned Forrester <nforrester@whoi.edu>

commit 8423597d676615f3dd2d9ab36f59f147086b90b8 upstream

Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  These bugs are in
all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16
flash.

 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early:
    before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the
    delay ineffective at holding chip select.

 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer
    of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough).

 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the
    chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended
    meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the
    next message.

Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays
and chip select de-assertions.

 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer,
    and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3,
    above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is
    for a different chip.  Fixed by dropping chip select regardless
    of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message
    or if the next message is for a different chip.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

commit 70bb08962ea9bd50797ae9f16b2493f5f7c65053 upstream

mmc_block_open() increments md->usage although it returns with -EROFS when
default mounting a MMC/SD card with write protect switch on.  This
reference counting bug prevents /dev/mmcblkX from being released on card
removal, and situation worsen with reinsertion until the minor number
range runs out.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

commit 38c052f8cff1bd323ccfa968136a9556652ee420 upstream

if get_rtc_time() is _ever_ called with IRQs off, we deadlock badly
in it, waiting for jiffies to increment.

So make the code more robust by doing an explicit mdelay(20).

This solves a very hard to reproduce/debug hard lockup reported
by Mikael Pettersson.

[patch 10/28] ACPI: Avoid bogus EC timeout when EC is in Polling mode

------------------
From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com>

commit 9d699ed92a459cb408e2577e8bbeabc8ec3989e1 upstream

When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using
the following source code:
       clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags);
       while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) {
               if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event))
       	            return 0;
               msleep(1);
       }
But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time
although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled
immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena:
     a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies.
	But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC
	status again.
     b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen
	before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe
	timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check
	the EC status.

In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens.
But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME.

So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again
when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded
as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded
as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time.

[patch 11/28] clockevents: prevent clockevent event_handler ending up handler_noop

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: timer-fix-01.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3074 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us

------------------
From: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com>

commit 7c1e76897492d92b6a1c2d6892494d39ded9680c upstream

There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.

The problematic path seems to be

* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
  * clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
    * old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
  * tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
    * which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.

Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.

This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.

The reprogramming of the periodic broadcast handler was broken,
when the first programming returned -ETIME. The clockevents code
stores the new expiry value in the clock events device next_event field
only when the programming time has not been elapsed yet. The loop in
question calculates the new expiry value from the next_event value
and therefor never increases.

In tick_oneshot_setup we program the device to the given next_event,
but we do not check the return value. We need to make sure that the
device is programmed enforced so the interrupt handler engine starts
working. Split out the reprogramming function from tick_program_event()
and call it with the device, which was handed in to tick_setup_oneshot().
Set the force argument, so the devices is firing an interrupt.

commit 9c17bcda991000351cb2373f78be7e4b1c44caa3 upstream

While chasing the C1E/HPET bugreports I went through the clock events
code inch by inch and found that the broadcast device can be initialized
and shutdown multiple times. Multiple shutdowns are not critical, but
useless waste of time. Multiple initializations are simply broken. Another
CPU might have the device in use already after the first initialization and
the second init could just render it unusable again.

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 1fb9b7d29d8e85ba3196eaa7ab871bf76fc98d36 upstream

The C1E/HPET bug reports on AMDX2/RS690 systems where tracked down to a
too small value of the HPET minumum delta for programming an event.

The clockevents code needs to enforce an interrupt event on the clock event
device in some cases. The enforcement code was stupid and naive, as it just
added the minimum delta to the current time and tried to reprogram the device.
When the minimum delta is too small, then this loops forever.

Add a sanity check. Allow reprogramming to fail 3 times, then print a warning
and double the minimum delta value to make sure, that this does not happen again.
Use the same function for both tick-oneshot and tick-broadcast code.

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 7cfb0435330364f90f274a26ecdc5f47f738498c upstream

The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks,
which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs.
The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets,
where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be
a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters
machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events,
which increases the delta when it is not sufficient.

Until the C1E patches arrived there where no users of periodic broadcast
before switching to oneshot mode. Now we need to trigger a possible
waiter for a periodic broadcast when switching to oneshot mode.
Otherwise we can starve them for ever.

[patch 18/28] x86: HPET fix moronic 32/64bit thinko

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us

------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit f7676254f179eac6b5244a80195ec8ae0e9d4606 upstream

We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because:
1) some HPETs are 32bit only
2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide

The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did
not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and
64 bit.

This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents
code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit
unawareness.

unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit.
but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless
loops.

[patch 20/28] ntp: fix calculation of the next jiffie to trigger RTC sync

[Greg KH]

[-- Attachment #1: timer-fix-10.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2377 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>

commit 4ff4b9e19a80b73959ebeb28d1df40176686f0a8 upstream

We have a bug in the calculation of the next jiffie to trigger the RTC
synchronisation.  The aim here is to run sync_cmos_clock() as close as
possible to the middle of a second.  Which means we want this function to
be called less than or equal to half a jiffie away from when now.tv_nsec
equals 5e8 (500000000).

If this is not the case for a given call to the function, for this purpose
instead of updating the RTC we calculate the offset in nanoseconds to the
next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be equal 5e8.  The calculated
offset is then converted to jiffies as these are the unit used by the
timer.

Hovewer timespec_to_jiffies() used here uses a ceil()-type rounding mode,
where the resulting value is rounded up.  As a result the range of
now.tv_nsec when the timer will trigger is from 5e8 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC
rather than the desired 5e8 - TICK_NSEC / 2 to 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2.

As a result if for example sync_cmos_clock() happens to be called at the
time when now.tv_nsec is between 5e8 + TICK_NSEC / 2 and 5e8 to 5e8 +
TICK_NSEC, it will simply be rescheduled HZ jiffies later, falling in the
same range of now.tv_nsec again.  Similarly for cases offsetted by an
integer multiple of TICK_NSEC.

This change addresses the problem by subtracting TICK_NSEC / 2 from the
nanosecond offset to the next point in time where now.tv_nsec will be
equal 5e8, effectively shifting the following rounding in
timespec_to_jiffies() so that it produces a rounded-to-nearest result.

[patch 21/28] clockevents: remove WARN_ON which was used to gather information

commit 61c22c34c6f80a8e89cff5ff717627c54cc14fd4 upstream

The issue of the endless reprogramming loop due to a too small
min_delta_ns was fixed with the previous updates of the clock events
code, but we had no information about the spread of this problem. I
added a WARN_ON to get automated information via kerneloops.org and to
get some direct reports, which allowed me to analyse the affected
machines.

The WARN_ON has served its purpose and would be annoying for a release
kernel. Remove it and just keep the information about the increase of
the min_delta_ns value.

After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a
long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which
occurred on the same line.  The result is a total failure of the JRE due
to LDT selectors not working properly.

This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very
common, but the bug is quite serious.  It got introduced along with
another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56ca09a467fbbe5229bc68627f7445be

dst->neighbour is not necessarily hooked up at this point
in the processing path, so blindly dereferencing it is
the wrong thing to do.  This NULL check exists in other
similar paths and this case was just an oversight.

Also fix the completely wrong and confusing indentation

   [<ffffffff>] 0xffffffff

This is the line in nla_ok():

  /**
   * nla_ok - check if the netlink attribute fits into the remaining bytes
   * @nla: netlink attribute
   * @remaining: number of bytes remaining in attribute stream
   */
  static inline int nla_ok(const struct nlattr *nla, int remaining)
  {
          return remaining >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                 nla->nla_len >= sizeof(*nla) &&
                 nla->nla_len <= remaining;
  }

It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in
nla_next(). But GCC promotes "remaining" to unsigned in the test
against sizeof(*nla) above. Therefore the test succeeds, and the
nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.

A short example illustrating this point is here:

  #include <stdio.h>

  main(void)
  {
          printf("%d\n", -1 >= sizeof(int));
  }

...which prints "1".

This patch adds a cast in front of the sizeof so that GCC will make
a signed comparison and fix the illegal memory dereference. With the
patch applied, there is no kmemcheck report.

Do not enable peer features like addip and auth, if they
are administratively disabled localy.  If the peer resports
that he supports something that we don't, neither end can
use it so enabling it is pointless.  This solves a problem
when talking to a peer that has auth and addip enabled while
we do not.  Found by Andrei Pelinescu-Onciul <andrei@iptel.org>.

[patch 27/28] sctp: Fix oops when INIT-ACK indicates that peer doesnt support AUTH

[-- Attachment #1: 0005-sctp-Fix-oops-when-INIT-ACK-indicates-that-peer-doe.patch --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us

From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

[ Upstream commit add52379dde2e5300e2d574b172e62c6cf43b3d3 ]

If INIT-ACK is received with SupportedExtensions parameter which
indicates that the peer does not support AUTH, the packet will be
silently ignore, and sctp_process_init() do cleanup all of the
transports in the association.
When T1-Init timer is expires, OOPS happen while we try to choose
a different init transport.

The solution is to only clean up the non-active transports, i.e
the ones that the peer added.  However, that introduces a problem
with sctp_connectx(), because we don't mark the proper state for
the transports provided by the user.  So, we'll simply mark
user-provided transports as ACTIVE.  That will allow INIT
retransmissions to work properly in the sctp_connectx() context
and prevent the crash.

[patch 28/28] udp: Fix rcv socket locking

[Greg KH]

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

   93821778def10ec1e69aa3ac10adee975dad4ff3 ]

The previous patch in response to the recursive locking on IPsec
reception is broken as it tries to drop the BH socket lock while in
user context.

This patch fixes it by shrinking the section protected by the
socket lock to sock_queue_rcv_skb only.  The only reason we added
the lock is for the accounting which happens in that function.

This patch seems unnecessary for 2.6.25 but only for 2.6.26.
The original bug reporter (Cc'ed) mentioned that it worked on
2.6.25.17.
