mtd: omap: fix subpage ecc issue with prefetch
When reading/writing a subpage (When HW ECC is not available/enabled)
for number of bytes not aligned to 4, the mis-aligned bytes are handled
first (by cpu copy method) before enabling the Prefetch engine to/from
'p'(start of buffer 'buf'). Then it reads/writes rest of the bytes with
the help of Prefetch engine, if available, or again using cpu copy method.
Currently, reading/writing of rest of bytes, is not done correctly since
its trying to read/write again to/from begining of buffer 'buf',
overwriting the mis-aligned bytes.
Read & write using prefetch engine got broken in commit '2c01946c'.
We never hit a scenario of not getting 'gpmc_prefetch_enable' call
success. So, problem did not get caught up.
In commit c7b28e25cb9beb943aead770ff14551b55fa8c79 the initialization of
the backblockbits was accidentally removed. This patch returns it back,
because otherwise some NAND drivers are broken.

wl1251: Add support for idle mode
On Nokia N900 the wl1251 consumes the most power when the interface is up
but not associated to access point (that supports PSM). In terms of battery
current consumption, the consumption is ~180 mA higher when the interface is
up but not associated and only ~5 mA higher when associated compared to
interface down and driver not loaded cases.
This patch adds support for the mac80211 idle notifications. Chip is put into
idle very much the same way when entering into PSM by utilizing the Extreme
Low Power (ELP) mode. I.e. idle is entered by setting necessary conditions
in wl1251_ps_set_mode followed by a call to wl1251_ps_elp_sleep.
It seems it is just enough the authorize ELP mode followed by
CMD_DISCONNECT (thanks to Kalle Valo about the idea to use it).
Without disconnect command the chip remains somewhat active and stays
consuming ~20 mA. Idle mode is left by same way than PSM. The wl1251_join
call is used to revert the CMD_DISCONNECT. Without it association to AP
doesn't work when trying second time.
With this patch the interface up but not associated case the battery current
consumption is less than 1 mA higher compared to interface down case.

wl1251: Prepare for idle mode support
RFC for WL1251 idle mode support brought a few issues that are worth to
update before adding the idle mode support.
Since the idle mode can reuse the code that is now used in Power Save Mode
(PSM), the flag psm in struct wl1251 is changed to variable station_mode
to be able to distinguish between PSM and idle modes.
As the station mode is different than the power power save mode command
that is sent to chip, the enum wl1251_cmd_ps_mod values are used only when
communicating with the chip and new enum wl1251_station_mode values are used
inside the driver.
Confusing comment about psm and elp relation is removed since the PSM is
actually activated by putting the chip into Entreme Low Power (ELP) mode.

While working on PS I've noticed elp_work is kicking rather often, and
sometimes the chip is put to sleep before 5ms delay expires. This
seems to happen because by the time wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup is called
elp_work might still be pending. After wakeup is done, the processing
may take some time, during which 5ms might expire and elp_work might
get scheduled. In this case, ss soon as 1st thread finishes work and
releases the mutex, elp_work will then put the device to sleep without
5ms delay. In addition 1st thread will queue additional elp_work
needlessly.
Fix this by cancelling work in wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup instead.

from/to ELP, however all callers of wl1251_ps_set_mode() have already
taken the chip out of ELP and puts it back to ELP when they finish.
This makes ELP calls (and register writes they result in) superfluous.

wl1251: fix queue stopping/waking for TX path
The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met.
The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation.
If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with
stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again.
Moreover the low watermark introduced by 9df86e2e702c6d5547aced7f241addd2d698bb11 never takes effect because of some
old code.
Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and
firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete.
This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high
watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results
in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all
frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames
get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.

This patch skips the orphan cleanup if it contains readonly compatible

The dcdbas driver can do an I/O write to cause a SMI to occur. The SMI handler
looks at certain registers and memory locations, so the SMI needs to happen
immediately. On some systems I/O writes are posted, though, causing the SMI to
happen well after the "outb" occurred, which causes random failures. Following
the "outb" with an "inb" forces the write to go through even if it is posted.

While trying to track down some NFS problems with BTRFS, I kept noticing I was
getting -EACCESS for no apparent reason. Eric Paris and printk() helped me
figure out that it was SELinux that was giving me grief, with the following
denial
Turns out this is because in d_obtain_alias if we can't find an alias we create
one and do all the normal instantiation stuff, but we don't do the
security_d_instantiate.
Usually we are protected from getting a hashed dentry that hasn't yet run
security_d_instantiate() by the parent's i_mutex, but obviously this isn't an
option there, so in order to deal with the case that a second thread comes in
and finds our new dentry before we get to run security_d_instantiate(), we go
ahead and call it if we find a dentry already. Eric assures me that this is ok
as the code checks to see if the dentry has been initialized already so calling
security_d_instantiate() against the same dentry multiple times is ok. With
this patch I'm no longer getting errant -EACCESS values.

If we call xs_close(), we're in one of two situations:
- Autoclose, which means we don't expect to resend a request
- bind+connect failed, which probably means the port is in use
When one of the two waits in nfs_commit_inode() is interrupted, it
returns a non-negative value, which causes nfs_wb_page() to think
that the operation was successful causing it to busy-loop rather
than exiting.
It also causes nfs_file_fsync() to incorrectly report the file as
being successfully committed to disk.
This patch fixes both problems by ensuring that we return an error
if the attempts to wait fail.
When destroying inherited events, we need to destroy groups too,
otherwise the event iteration in perf_event_exit_task_context() will
miss group siblings and we leak events with all the consequences.
On some servers there is a hardcoded EDID provided
in the vbios so that the driver will always see a
display connected even if something like a KVM
prevents traditional means like DDC or load
detection from working properly. Also most
server boards with DVI are not actually DVI, but
DVO connected to a virtual KVM service processor.
If we fail to detect a monitor via DDC or load
detection and a hardcoded EDID is available, use
it.
Additionally, when using the hardcoded EDID, use
a copy of it rather than the actual one stored
in the driver as the detect() and get_modes()
functions may free it if DDC is successful.
This fixes the virtual KVM on several internal
servers.

When i915_gem_retire_requests_ring calls i915_gem_request_remove_from_client,
the client_list for that request may already be removed in i915_gem_release.
So we may call twice list_del(&request->client_list), resulting in an
oops like this report:
Unfortunately the call trace reported was cut, but looking at debug
symbols the crash is at __list_del, when probably list_del is called
twice on the same request->client_list, as the dereferenced value is
LIST_POISON1 + 4, and by looking more at the debug symbols before
list_del call it should have being called by
i915_gem_request_remove_from_client
And as I can see in the code, it seems we indeed have the possibility
to remove a request->client_list twice, which would cause the above,
because we do list_del(&request->client_list) on both
i915_gem_request_remove_from_client and i915_gem_release
As Chris Wilson pointed out, it's indeed the case:
"(...) I had thought that the actual insertion/deletion was serialised
under the struct mutex and the intention of the spinlock was to protect
the unlocked list traversal during throttling. However, I missed that
i915_gem_release() is also called without struct mutex and so we do need
the double check for i915_gem_request_remove_from_client()."
This change does the required check to avoid the duplicate remove of
request->client_list.

Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory

A virtualized display device is usually viewed with the vncviewer
application, either by 'xm vnc domU' or with vncviewer localhost:port.
vncviewer and the RFB protocol provides absolute coordinates to the
virtual display. These coordinates are either passed through to a PV
guest or converted to relative coordinates for a HVM guest.
A PV guest receives these coordinates and passes them to the kernels
evdev driver. There it can be picked up by applications such as the
xorg-input drivers. Using absolute coordinates avoids issues such as
guest mouse pointer not tracking host mouse pointer due to wrong mouse
acceleration settings in the guests X display.
Advertise either absolute or relative coordinates to the input system
and the evdev driver, depending on what dom0 provides. The xorg-input
driver prefers relative coordinates even if a devices provides both.
We don't have proper reference counting for this yet, so we run into
cases where the device is pulled and we OOPS on flushing the fs data.
This happens even though the dirty inodes have already been
migrated to the default_backing_dev_info.

Prevent read urbs from being resubmitted from tasklet after port close.
The receive tasklet was not disabled on port close, which could lead to
corruption of receive lists on consecutive port open. In particular,
read urbs could be re-submitted before port open, added to free list in
open, and then added a second time to the free list in the completion
handler.
In the WDM class driver a disconnect event leads to calls to
usb_free_coherent to put back two USB DMA buffers allocated earlier.
The call to usb_free_coherent uses a different size parameter
(desc->wMaxCommand) than the corresponding call to usb_alloc_coherent
(desc->bMaxPacketSize0).
When a disconnect event occurs, this leads to 'bad dma' complaints
from usb core because the USB DMA buffer is being pushed back to the
'buffer-2048' pool from which it has not been allocated.

This patch (as1453) fixes a long-standing bug in the ehci-hcd driver.
There is no need to set the Halt bit in the overlay region for an
unlinked or blocked QH. Contrary to what the comment says, setting
the Halt bit does not cause the QH to be patched later; that decision
(made in qh_refresh()) depends only on whether the QH is currently
pointing to a valid qTD. Likewise, setting the Halt bit does not
prevent completions from activating the QH while it is "stopped"; they
are prevented by the fact that qh_completions() temporarily changes
qh->qh_state to QH_STATE_COMPLETING.
On the other hand, there are circumstances in which the QH will be
reactivated _without_ being patched; this happens after an URB beyond
the head of the queue is unlinked. Setting the Halt bit will then
cause the hardware to see the QH with both the Active and Halt bits
set, an invalid combination that will prevent the queue from
advancing and may even crash some controllers.
Apparently the only reason this hasn't been reported before is that
unlinking URBs from the middle of a running queue is quite uncommon.
However Test 17, recently added to the usbtest driver, does exactly
this, and it confirms the presence of the bug.
In short, there is no reason to set the Halt bit for an unlinked or
blocked QH, and there is a very good reason not to set it. Therefore
the code that sets it is removed.

Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a
signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL.
Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to
send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it
from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a
SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values.
Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate
SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses
anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag.
So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative
value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out
there that might depend on using other si_code values.
Hardware C-state auto-demotion is a mechanism where the HW overrides
the OS C-state request, instead demoting to a shallower state,
which is less expensive, but saves less power.
Modern Linux should generally get exactly the states it requests.
In particular, when a CPU is taken off-line, it must not be demoted, else
it can prevent the entire package from reaching deep C-states.

If a device doesn't support power management (pm_cap == 0) but it is
acpi_pci_power_manageable() because there is a _PS0 method declared for
it and _EJ0 is also declared for the slot then nobody is going to set
current_state = PCI_D0 for this device. This is what I think it is
happening:
pci_enable_device
|
__pci_enable_device_flags
/* here we do not set current_state because !pm_cap */
|
do_pci_enable_device
|
pci_set_power_state
|
__pci_start_power_transition
|
pci_platform_power_transition
/* platform_pci_power_manageable() calls acpi_pci_power_manageable that
* returns true */
|
platform_pci_set_power_state
/* acpi_pci_set_power_state gets called and does nothing because the
* acpi device has _EJ0, see the comment "If the ACPI device has _EJ0,
* ignore the device" */
at this point if we refer to the commit message that introduced the
comment above (10b3dcae0f275e2546e55303d64ddbb58cec7599), it is up to
the hotplug driver to set the state to D0.
However AFAICT the pci hotplug driver never does, in fact
drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c:register_slot sets the slot flags to
(SLOT_ENABLED | SLOT_POWEREDON) but it does not set the pci device
current state to PCI_D0.
So my proposed fix is also to set current_state = PCI_D0 in
register_slot.
Comments are very welcome.
The oom killer naturally defers killing anything if it finds an eligible
task that is already exiting and has yet to detach its ->mm. This avoids
unnecessarily killing tasks when one is already in the exit path and may
free enough memory that the oom killer is no longer needed. This is
detected by PF_EXITING since threads that have already detached its ->mm
are no longer considered at all.
The problem with always deferring when a thread is PF_EXITING, however, is
that it may never actually exit when being traced, specifically if another
task is tracing it with PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT. The oom killer does not want
to defer in this case since there is no guarantee that thread will ever
exit without intervention.
This patch will now only defer the oom killer when a thread is PF_EXITING
and no ptracer has stopped its progress in the exit path. It also ensures
that a child is sacrificed for the chosen parent only if it has a
different ->mm as the comment implies: this ensures that the thread group
leader is always targeted appropriately.
We shouldn't defer oom killing if a thread has already detached its ->mm
and still has TIF_MEMDIE set. Memory needs to be freed, so find kill
other threads that pin the same ->mm or find another task to kill.
This patch prevents unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics by reverting
two commits:
495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make deadlock)
First, 495789a5 (oom: make oom_score to per-process value) ignores the
fact that all threads in a thread group do not necessarily exit at the
same time.
It is imperative that select_bad_process() detect threads that are in the
exit path, specifically those with PF_EXITING set, to prevent needlessly
killing additional tasks. If a process is oom killed and the thread group
leader exits, select_bad_process() cannot detect the other threads that
are PF_EXITING by iterating over only processes. Thus, it currently
chooses another task unnecessarily for oom kill or panics the machine when
nothing else is eligible.
By iterating over threads instead, it is possible to detect threads that
are exiting and nominate them for oom kill so they get access to memory
reserves.
Second, cef1d352 (oom: multi threaded process coredump don't make
deadlock) erroneously avoids making the oom killer a no-op when an
eligible thread other than current isfound to be exiting. We want to
detect this situation so that we may allow that exiting thread time to
exit and free its memory; if it is able to exit on its own, that should
free memory so current is no loner oom. If it is not able to exit on its
own, the oom killer will nominate it for oom kill which, in this case,
only means it will get access to memory reserves.
Without this change, it is easy for the oom killer to unnecessarily target
tasks when all threads of a victim don't exit before the thread group
leader or, in the worst case, panic the machine.
If an administrator tries to swapon a file backed by NFS, the inode mutex is
taken (as it is for any swapfile) but later identified to be a bad swapfile
due to the lack of bmap and tries to cleanup. During cleanup, an attempt is
made to close the file but with inode->i_mutex still held. Closing an NFS
file syncs it which tries to acquire the inode mutex leading to deadlock. If
lockdep is enabled the following appears on the console;
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.38-rc8-autobuild #1
---------------------------------------------
swapon/2192 is trying to acquire lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: vfs_fsync_range+0x47/0x7c
but task is already holding lock:
(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapon/2192:
#0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#13){+.+.+.}, at: sys_swapon+0x28d/0xae7
This patch releases the mutex if its held before calling filep_close()
so swapon fails as expected without deadlock when the swapfile is backed
by NFS. If accepted for 2.6.39, it should also be considered a -stable
candidate for 2.6.38 and 2.6.37.
Up to 2.6.22, you could use remap_file_pages(2) on a tmpfs file or a
shared mapping of /dev/zero or a shared anonymous mapping. In 2.6.23 we
disabled it by default, but set VM_CAN_NONLINEAR to enable it on safe
mappings. We made sure to set it in shmem_mmap() for tmpfs files, but
missed it in shmem_zero_setup() for the others. Fix that at last.
list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers. The next
list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty.
Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a
check will be fooled into dereferencing poison. One needs to INIT the
node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that -
list_del_init().
Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one
can be merged with an add to make a move. Apart from that, I erred on the
side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy() only
wakes up one of the threads. Fix this by using wake_up_all() in the aio
code paths where we want to make sure no one gets stuck.

The latest binutils (2.21.0.20110302/Ubuntu) breaks the build
yet another time, under CONFIG_XEN=y due to a .size directive that
refers to a slightly differently named (hence, to the now very
strict and unforgiving assembler, non-existent) symbol.
[ mingo:
This unnecessary build breakage caused by new binutils
version 2.21 gets escallated back several kernel releases spanning
several years of Linux history, affecting over 130,000 upstream
kernel commits (!), on CONFIG_XEN=y 64-bit kernels (i.e. essentially
affecting all major Linux distro kernel configs).
Git annotate tells us that this slight debug symbol code mismatch
bug has been introduced in 2008 in commit 3d75e1b8:
Human reviewers almost never catch such small mismatches, and binutils
never even warned about it either.
This new binutils version thus breaks the Xen build on all upstream kernels
since v2.6.27, out of the blue.
This makes a straightforward Git bisection of all 64-bit Xen-enabled kernels
impossible on such binutils, for a bisection window of over hundred
thousand historic commits. (!)
This is a major fail on the side of binutils and binutils needs to turn
this show-stopper build failure into a warning ASAP. ]

During redetection of a SDIO card, a request for a new card RCA
was submitted to the card, but was then overwritten by the old RCA.
This caused the card to be deselected instead of selected when using
the incorrect RCA. This bug's been present since the "oldcard"
handling was introduced in 2.6.32.
