ath9k: Fix kernel panic in AR2427 in AP mode

2012-01-06T23:38:03Z

commit b25bfda38236f349cde0d1b28952f4eea2148d3f upstream. don't do aggregation related stuff for 'AP mode client power save handling' if aggregation is not enabled in the driver, otherwise it will lead to panic because those data structures won't be never intialized in 'ath_tx_node_init' if aggregation is disabled EIP is at ath_tx_aggr_wakeup+0x37/0x80 [ath9k] EAX: e8c09a20 EBX: f2a304e8 ECX: 00000001 EDX: 00000000 ESI: e8c085e0 EDI: f2a304ac EBP: f40e1ca4 ESP: f40e1c8c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 Process swapper/1 (pid: 0, ti=f40e0000 task=f408e860 task.ti=f40dc000) Stack: 0001e966 e8c09a20 00000000 f2a304ac e8c085e0 f2a304ac f40e1cb0 f8186741 f8186700 f40e1d2c f922988d f2a304ac 00000202 00000001 c0b4ba43 00000000 0000000f e8eb75c0 e8c085e0 205b0001 34383220 f2a304ac f2a30000 00010020 Call Trace: [] ath9k_sta_notify+0x41/0x50 [ath9k] [] ? ath9k_get_survey+0x110/0x110 [ath9k] [] ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup+0x9d/0x350 [mac80211] [] ? __module_address+0x95/0xb0 [] ap_sta_ps_end+0x63/0xa0 [mac80211] [] ieee80211_rx_h_sta_process+0x156/0x2b0 [mac80211] [] ieee80211_rx_handlers+0xce/0x510 [mac80211] [] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xb/0x10 [] ? skb_queue_tail+0x3e/0x50 [] ieee80211_prepare_and_rx_handle+0x111/0x750 [mac80211] [] ieee80211_rx+0x349/0xb20 [mac80211] [] ? ieee80211_rx+0x99/0xb20 [mac80211] [] ath_rx_tasklet+0x818/0x1d00 [ath9k] [] ? ath9k_tasklet+0x35/0x1c0 [ath9k] [] ? ath9k_tasklet+0x35/0x1c0 [ath9k] [] ath9k_tasklet+0xf3/0x1c0 [ath9k] [] tasklet_action+0xbe/0x180 Cc: Senthil Balasubramanian Cc: Rajkumar Manoharan Reported-by: Ashwin Mendonca Tested-by: Ashwin Mendonca Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: John W.

hung_task: fix false positive during vfork

2012-01-06T23:38:03Z

commit f9fab10bbd768b0e5254e53a4a8477a94bfc4b96 upstream. vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits in the hung_task detector.

watchdog: hpwdt: Changes to handle NX secure bit in 32bit path

2012-01-06T23:38:03Z

commit e67d668e147c3b4fec638c9e0ace04319f5ceccd upstream. This patch makes use of the set_memory_x() kernel API in order to make necessary BIOS calls to source NMIs. This is needed for SLES11 SP2 and the latest upstream kernel as it appears the NX Execute Disable has grown in its control.

commit 3b6e3c73851a9a4b0e6ed9d378206341dd65e8a5 upstream. When getting a cmd irq during an ongoing data transfer with dma, the dma job were never terminated. This is now corrected.

commit 5776ac2eb33164c77cdb4d2b48feee15616eaba3 upstream. According to imx pwm RM, the real period value should be PERIOD value in PWMPR plus 2. PWMO (Hz) = PCLK(Hz) / (period +2) Signed-off-by: Jason Chen Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vfs: __read_cache_page should use gfp argument rather than GFP_KERNEL

2012-01-06T23:38:01Z

commit e6f67b8c05f5e129e126f4409ddac6f25f58ffcb upstream. lockdep reports a deadlock in jfs because a special inode's rw semaphore is taken recursively. The mapping's gfp mask is GFP_NOFS, but is not used when __read_cache_page() calls add_to_page_cache_lru().

commit f6a290b419a2675c4b77a6b0731cd2a64332365e upstream. _scsih_smart_predicted_fault is called in an interrupt and therefore must allocate memory using GFP_ATOMIC. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confition

2012-01-06T23:38:00Z

commit 5eb46851de3904cd1be9192fdacb8d34deadc1fc upstream. cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps: step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not linked with a cic for the device step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the same ioc step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a cic for the device yet step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link() step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link() But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7. step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait() The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the device. When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic. So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().
