A bug was seen on boards using a PLX 8518 switch device which advertises
AER on each of it's transparent bridges. The AER driver was loaded for
each bridge and this driver tried to access the AER source ID register
whenever an interrupt occured on the shared PCI INTX lines. The source
ID register does not exist on non root port PCIE device's which
advertise AER and trying to access this register causes a unsupported
request error on the bridge. Thus, when the next interrupt occurs,
another error is found and the non existent source ID register is
accessed again, and so it goes on.
The result is a spammed dmesg with unsupported request PCI express
errors on the bridge device that the AER driver is loaded against.
Many boards have a bug-free ns16550 compatible serial port, which we should
register as PORT_16550A. This introduces a new value "ns16550a" for the
compatible property of of_serial to let a firmware choose that model instead
of using the crippled PORT_16550 mode.
When the framebuffer driver does not publish detailed timing information
for the current video mode, the correct value for the pixclock field is
zero, not -1.
Since pixclock is actually unsigned, the value -1 would be interpreted
as 4294967295 picoseconds (i.e., about 4 milliseconds) by
register_framebuffer() and userspace programs.
This patch allows X.org's fbdev driver to work.

This patch fixes three problems:
* Failure to adjust the ieee80211_tx_info pointer to the new buffer.
This results in a kmemcheck warning.
* Failure to copy the skb cb, which contains ieee80211_tx_info, to the new skb.
This results in breakage of various TX-status postprocessing (Rate control).

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e361e864f0e9d75ebe2a0cb43d17c4272).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.
The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

The loop in perf_ctx_adjust_freq checks the frequency of sampling
event counters, and adjusts the event interval and unthrottles the
event if required, and resets the interrupt count for the event.
However, at present it only looks at group leaders.
This means that a sampling event that is not a group leader will
eventually get throttled, once its interrupt count reaches
sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ --- and that is guaranteed to
happen, if the event is active for long enough, since the interrupt
count never gets reset. Once it is throttled it never gets
unthrottled, so it basically just stops working at that point.
This fixes it by making perf_ctx_adjust_freq use ctx->event_list
rather than ctx->group_list. The existing spin_lock/spin_unlock
around the loop makes it unnecessary to put rcu_read_lock/
rcu_read_unlock around the list_for_each_entry_rcu().

commit 4706b349f was a forward port of a fix that was needed
for SLES10. But in fact it is not needed in mainline because
the earlier commit dd00a99e7a fixes the same problem in a
better way.
Further, this commit introduces a bug in the way it interacts with
the automatic read-error-correction. If, after a read error is
successfully corrected, the same disk is chosen to re-read - the
re-read won't be attempted but an error will be returned instead.
After reverting that commit, there is the possibility that a
read error on a read-only array (where read errors cannot
be corrected as that requires a write) will repeatedly read the same
device and continue to get an error.
So in the "Array is readonly" case, fail the drive immediately on
a read error.
On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024000000000000000000000034 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
1 .text 00000000000000000000000000000058 2**0

3 .text 000000000000000000000000000000d4 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.
The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

The driver incorrectly cancels the mass-storage device CSW request
(which leads to device reset) due to giving back URB at the head of
endpoint's queue after sending each STALL handshake; stop doing that
and start checking for the queue being non-empty before stalling an
endpoint and disallowing stall in such case in musb_gadget_set_halt()
like the other gadget drivers do.
Moreover, the driver starts Rx request despite of the endpoint being
halted -- fix this by moving the SendStall bit check from musb_g_rx()
to rxstate(). And we also sometimes get into rxstate() with DMA still
active after clearing an endpoint's halt (not clear why), so bail out
in this case, similarly to what txstate() does...
While at it, also do the following changes :
- in musb_gadget_set_halt(), remove pointless Tx FIFO flushing (the
driver does not allow stalling with non-empty Tx FIFO anyway);
- in rxstate(), stop pointlessly zeroing the 'csr' variable;
- in musb_gadget_set_halt(), move the 'done' label to a more proper
place;
- in musb_g_rx(), eliminate the 'done' label completely...

This patch (as1304) fixes a regression in ehci-hcd. Evidently some
hubs don't handle Clear-TT-Buffer requests correctly, so we should
avoid sending them when they don't appear to be absolutely necessary.
The reported symptom is that output on a downstream audio device cuts
out because the hub stops relaying isochronous packets.
The patch prevents Clear-TT-Buffer requests from being sent following
a STALL handshake. In theory a STALL indicates either that the
downstream device sent a STALL or that no matching TT buffer could be
found. In either case, the transfer is completed and the TT buffer
does not remain busy, so it doesn't need to be cleared.
Also, the patch fixes a minor flaw in the code that actually sends the
Clear-TT-Buffer requests. Although the pipe direction isn't really
used for control transfers, it should be a Send rather than a Receive.

The Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1150 retail boards require the FORCE_TS_VALID bit

When FORCE_TS_VALID mode is enabled, the saa713x will accept MPEG TS input

to function properly, due to the hardware design implementation.
The configuration is toggled within the board setup configuration. Boards
that do not have this bit set will function as before with no change.

In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.
Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at
a single frequency
This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497,
mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have
been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although
b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and
also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault
and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In
the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes
full, then a warning is issued.
During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf
writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with
the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is
full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me.

Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
changing the order in which things were done -- this was
mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support
The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.
The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.
For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
about the session state; don't drop the lock
2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
even before the session was really started -- this is
true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
(ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14541).
The immediate band aid is to revert the incorrect bitmap change, but more
long term, we should change the NFS readdir code to cope with the
fact that NFSv4 servers are not required to support fileids/inode numbers.
While running fsstress tests on the NFSv4 mounted ext3 and ext4
filesystem, the following call trace was generated on the nfs
server machine.
Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS in ima_iint_insert() to avoid a

When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.
The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.
When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.
By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.
For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

The trb_in_td() function in the xHCI driver is supposed to translate a
physical transfer buffer request (TRB) into a virtual pointer to the ring
segment that TRB is in.
Unfortunately, a mistake in this function may cause endless loops as the
driver searches through the linked list of ring segments over and over
again. Fix a couple bugs that may lead to loops or bad output:
1. Bail out if we get a NULL pointer when translating the segment's
private structure and the starting DMA address of the segment chunk. If
this happens, we've been handed a starting TRB pointer from a different
ring.
2. Make sure the function works when there's multiple segments in the
ring. In the while loop to search through the ring segments, use the
current segment variable (cur_seg), rather than the starting segment
variable (start_seg) that is passed in.
3. Stop searching the ring if we've run through all the segments in the
ring.

Add D-Link DWM-162-U5 device id 1e0e:ce16 into option driver. The device
has 4 interfaces, of which 1 is handled by storage and the other 3 by
option driver.
The device appears first as CD-only 05c6:2100 device and must be
switched to 1e0e:ce16 mode either by using "eject CD" or usb_modeswitch.
This patch (as1299b) fixes a bug in an error-handling path of usbmon's
binary interface. The storage area for URB data is divided into
fixed-size blocks. If an URB's data can't be copied, the area
reserved for it should be decreased to the size of the truncated
information (rounded up to a block boundary). Rounding up the amount
to be removed and subtracting it from the reserved size is definitely
the wrong thing to do.
Also, when the data for an isochronous URB can't be copied, we can
still copy the isoc packet descriptors. In fact the current code does
copy the descriptors, but then sets the capture length to 0 so they
remain inaccessible. The capture length should be reduced to the
length of the descriptors, not set to 0.

CLOCAL was not asserted.
Fix this not by reverting but by adding the proper dtr_rts and
carrier_raised methods. This both sets the modem lines properly and also
implements the correct blocking semantics for the port as required by

If a direct reclaim makes no forward progress, it considers whether it
should go OOM or not. Whether OOM is triggered or not, it may retry the
allocation afterwards. In times past, this would always wake kswapd as
well but currently, kswapd is not woken up after direct reclaim fails.
For order-0 allocations, this makes little difference but if there is a
heavy mix of higher-order allocations that direct reclaim is failing for,
it might mean that kswapd is not rewoken for higher orders as much as it
did previously.
This patch wakes up kswapd when an allocation is being retried after a
direct reclaim failure. It would be expected that kswapd is already
awake, but this has the effect of telling kswapd to reclaim at the higher
order as well.

Daniel Lezcano reported a leak in 'struct pid' and 'struct pid_namespace'
that is discussed in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/2/159.
To summarize the thread, when container-init is terminated, it sets the
PF_EXITING flag, zaps other processes in the container and waits to reap
them. As a part of reaping, the container-init should flush any /proc
dentries associated with the processes. But because the container-init is
itself exiting and the following PF_EXITING check, the dentries are not
flushed, resulting in leak in /proc inodes and dentries.
This fix reverts the commit 7766755a2f249e7e0 ("Fix /proc dcache deadlock
in do_exit") which introduced the check for PF_EXITING. At the time of
the commit, shrink_dcache_parent() flushed dentries from other filesystems
also and could have caused a deadlock which the commit fixed. But as
pointed out by Eric Biederman, after commit 0feae5c47aabdde59,
shrink_dcache_parent() no longer affects other filesystems. So reverting
the commit is now safe.
As pointed out by Jan Kara, the leak is not as critical since the
unclaimed space will be reclaimed under memory pressure or by:
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
But since this check is no longer required, its best to remove it.

v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char). The code returns
a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type. If
left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return
value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included
patch corrects the problem.
The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel
versions 2.6.30 and later.
PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings.
If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS

should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones.
Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS
event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

debugobjects warns about an enqueued timer being initialized. If
CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y the user management code uses delayed work to
remove the user from the hash table and tear down the sysfs objects.
free_uid is called from RCU and initializes/schedules delayed work if
the usage count of the user_struct is 0. The init/schedule happens
outside of the uidhash_lock protected region which allows a concurrent
caller of find_user() to reference the about to be destroyed
user_struct w/o preventing the work from being scheduled. If the next
free_uid call happens before the work timer expired then the active
timer is initialized and the work scheduled again.
The race was introduced in commit 5cb350ba (sched: group scheduling,
sysfs tunables) and made more prominent by commit 3959214f (sched:

Move the init/schedule_delayed_work inside of the uidhash_lock

The s2255 driver had logic which aborted processing of a video frame
if there was no process waiting on the video buffer in question. That
simply doesn't work when the application is doing things in an
asynchronous manner. If the application went to the trouble to queue
the buffer in the first place, then the driver should always attempt
to complete it - even if the application at that moment has its
attention turned elsewhere. Applications which always blocked waiting
for I/O on the capture device would not have been affected by this.
Applications which *mostly* blocked waiting for I/O on the capture
device probably only would have been somewhat affected (frame lossage,
at a rate which goes up as the application blocks less). Applications
which never blocked on the capture device (e.g. polling only) however
would never have been able to receive any video frames, since in that
case this "is anyone waiting on this?" check on the buffer never would
have evalutated true. This patch just deletes that harmful check
against the buffer's wait queue.

Fixing kernel oops when driver attemps to load xc2028 firmware.
Note by djh: the patch contribute by Martin is a port of a fix I made during
the PCTV 340e development. It's a temporary workaround that fixes a regression
(an OOPS condition) and the real fix should be in the code that manages the
i2c master on the dib7000p. But this fix does address the immmediate
regression and should be merged upstream until we do a cleaner fix.
Because the counters were not reset when starting up streaming, they would
be reused from the previous run. This can result in cases such that when the
second instance of streaming starts up, the "cnt" variable in
em28xx_audio_isocirq() can end up being negative, resulting in attempting to
write to memory before the start of runtime->dma_area (as well as having a
negative number of bytes to copy).
Multiplication by 62500 causes an overflow in the 32 bit freq variable,
which is later divided by 1000 when using FM radio.
This patch prevents the overflow by scaling the frequency value correctly
upfront. Thanks to Henk Vergonet for spotting the problem and providing
a preliminary patch, which this changeset was based upon.
While having tda18271 module set with debug=17 (cal & info prints) and
cal=0 (delay calibration process until first use) - I discovered that
during the calibration process, if the frequency test for 69750000
returned a bcal of 0 (see tda18721-fe.c in tda18271_powerscan func) that
the tuner wouldn't be able to pickup any of the frequencies in the range
(all the other frequencies bands returned bcal=1). I spent some time
going over the code and the NXP's tda18271 spec (ver.4 of it i think) and
adding a lot of debug prints and walking/stepping through the calibration
process. I found that when the powerscan fails to find a frequency, the
rf calibration is not run and the default value is supposed to be used in
its place (pulled from the RF_CAL_map table) - but something was getting
goofed up there.
Now, my c coding skills are very rusty, but i think root of the problem is
a signedness issue with the math operation for calculating the rf_a1 and
rf_a2 values in tda18271_rf_tracking_filters_init func, which results in
values like 20648 for rf_a1 (when it should probably have a value like 0,
or so slightly negative that it should be zero - this bad value for rf_a1
would in turn makes the approx calc within
tda18271c2_rf_tracking_filters_correction go out of whack). The simplest
solution i found was to explicitly convert the signedness of the
denominator to avoid the implicit conversion. The values placed into the
u32 rf_freq array should never exceed about 900mhz, so i think the s32 max
value shouldn't be an issue in this case.
I've tested it out a little, and even when i get a bcal=0 with the
modified code, the default calibration value gets used, rf_a1 is zero, and
the tuner seems to lock on the stream and mythtv seems to play it fine.

The bttv driver function which handles switching of the video standard
(set_tvnorm() in bttv-driver.c) includes a check which can optionally
also reset the cropping configuration to a default value. It is
"optional" based on a comparison of the cropcap parameters of the
previous vs the newly requested video standard. The comparison is
being done with a memcmp(), a function which only returns a true value
if the comparison actually fails.
This if-statement appears to have been written to assume wrong
memcmp() semantics. That is, it was re-initializing the cropping
configuration only if the new video standard did NOT have different
cropcap values. That doesn't make any sense. One definitely should
reset things if the cropcap parameters are different - if there's any
comparison to made at all.
The effect of this problem was that a transition from, say, PAL to
NTSC would leave in place old cropping setup that made sense for the
PAL geometry but not for NTSC. If the application doesn't care about
cropping it also won't try to reset the cropping configuration,
resulting in an improperly cropped video frame. In the case I was
testing this actually caused black video frames to be displayed.
Another interesting effect of this bug is that if one does something
which does NOT change the video standard and this function is run,
then the cropping setup gets reset anyway - again because of the
backwards comparison. It turns out that just running anything which
merely opens and closes the video device node (e.g. v4l-info) will
cause this to happen. One can argue that simply opening the device
node and not doing anything to it should not mess with any of its
state - but because of this behavior, any TV app which does such
things (e.g. xawtv) probably therefore doesn't see the problem.
The solution is to fix the sense of the if-statement. It's easy to
see how this mistake could have been made given how memcmp() works.
The patch is therefore removal of a single "!" character from the
if-statement in set_tvnorm in bttv-driver.c.

There is a subtle interaction in the bttv driver which can result in
fields being repeatedly processed out of order. This is a problem
specifically when running in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode (probably the
most common case).
1. The determination of which fields are associated with which buffers
happens in videobuf, before the bttv driver gets a chance to queue the
corresponding DMA. Thus by the point when the DMA is queued for a
given buffer, the algorithm has to do the queuing based on the
buffer's already assigned field type - not based on which field is
"next" in the video stream.
2. The driver normally tries to queue both the top and bottom fields
at the same time (see bttv_irq_next_video()). It tries to sort out
top vs bottom by looking at the field type for the next 2 available
buffers and assigning them appropriately.
3. However the bttv driver *always* actually processes the top field
first. There's even an interrupt set aside for specifically
recognizing when the top field has been processed so that it can be
marked done even while the bottom field is still being DMAed.
Given all of the above, if one gets into a situation where
bttv_irq_next_video() gets entered when the first available buffer has
been pre-associated as a bottom field, then the function is going to
process the buffers out of order. That first available buffer will be
put into the bottom field slot and the buffer after that will be put
into the top field slot. Problem is, since the top field is always
processed first by the driver, then that second buffer (the one after
the first available buffer) will be the first one to be finished.
Because of the strict fifo handling of all video buffers, then that
top field won't be seen by the app until after the bottom field is
also processed. Worse still, the app will get back the
chronologically later bottom field first, *before* the top field is
received. The buffer's timestamps will even be backwards.
While not fatal to most TV apps, this behavior can subtlely degrade
userspace deinterlacing (probably will cause jitter). That's probably
why it has gone unnoticed. But it will also cause serious problems if
the app in question discards all but the latest received buffer (a
latency minimizing tactic) - causing one field to only ever be
displayed since the other is now always late. Unfortunately once you
get into this state, you're stuck this way - because having consumed
two buffers, now the next time around the "first" available buffer
will again be a bottom field and the same thing happens.
How can we get into this state? In a perfect world, where there's
always a few free buffers queued to the driver, it should be
impossible. However if something disrupts streaming, e.g. if the
userspace app can't queue free buffers fast enough for a moment due
perhaps to a CPU scheduling glitch, then the driver can get
momentarily starved and some number of fields will be dropped. That's
OK. But if an odd number of fields get dropped, then that "first"
available buffer might be the bottom field and now we're stuck...
This patch fixes that problem by deliberately only setting up a single
field for one frame if we don't get a top field as the first available
buffer. By purposely skipping the other field, then we only handle a
single buffer thus bringing things back into proper sync (i.e. top
field first) for the next frame. To do this we just drop the few
lines in bttv_irq_next_video() that attempt to set up the second
buffer when that second buffer isn't for the bottom field.
This is definitely a problem in when in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode. In
the other modes this change either has no effect or doesn't harm
things any further anyway.

d451564 broke ARM by requiring KM_IRQ_PTE, KM_NMI and KM_NMI_PTE to
always be defined. Solve this by providing invalid definitions for
these constants, but only if CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is enabled.
