rcu: Fix batch-limit size problem

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 878d7439d0f45a95869e417576774673d1fa243f upstream. Commit 29c00b4a1d9e27 (rcu: Add event-tracing for RCU callback invocation) added a regression in rcu_do_batch() Under stress, RCU is supposed to allow to process all items in queue, instead of a batch of 10 items (blimit), but an integer overflow makes the effective limit being 1. So, unless there is frequent idle periods (during which RCU ignores batch limits), RCU can be forced into a state where it cannot keep up with the callback-generation rate, eventually resulting in OOM. This commit therefore converts a few variables in rcu_do_batch() from int to long to fix this problem, along with the module parameters controlling the batch limits.

perf test: fix a build error on builtin-test

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 12f8f74b2a4d26c4facfa7ef99487cf0930f6ef7 upstream. Recently I build perf and get a build error on builtin-test.c. The error is as following: $ make CC perf.o CC builtin-test.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors builtin-test.c: In function ‘sched__get_first_possible_cpu’: builtin-test.c:977: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC’ builtin-test.c:977: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast builtin-test.c:978: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:978: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ALLOC_SIZE’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:979: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ZERO_S’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:982: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_FREE’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:992: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_ISSET_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘CPU_CLR_S’ builtin-test.c:998: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_CLR_S’ make: *** [builtin-test.o] Error 1 This problem is introduced in 3e7c439a. CPU_ALLOC and related macros are missing in sched__get_first_possible_cpu function. In 54489c18, commiter mentioned that CPU_ALLOC has been removed. So CPU_ALLOC calls in this function are removed to let perf to be built.

cdc-acm: implement TIOCSSERIAL to avoid blocking close(2)

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit ba2d8ce9db0a61505362bb17b8899df3d3326146 upstream. Some devices (ex Nokia C7) simply don't respond at all when data is sent to some of their USB interfaces. The data gets stuck in the TTYs queue and sits there until close(2), which them blocks because closing_wait defaults to 30 seconds (even though the fd is O_NONBLOCK). This is rarely desired. Implement the standard mechanism to adjust closing_wait and let applications handle it how they want to. See also 02303f73373aa1da19dbec510ec5a4e2576f9610 for usb_wwan.c.

ftrace: Clear bits properly in reset_iter_read()

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 70f77b3f7ec010ff9624c1f2e39a81babc9e2429 upstream. There is a typo here where '&' is used instead of '|' and it turns the statement into a noop.

xhci: Extend Fresco Logic MSI quirk.

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit bba18e33f25072ebf70fd8f7f0cdbf8cdb59a746 upstream. Ali reports that plugging a device into the Fresco Logic xHCI host with PCI device ID 1400 produces an IRQ error: do_IRQ: 3.176 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) Other early Fresco Logic host revisions don't support MSI, even though their PCI config space claims they do. Extend the quirk to disabling MSI to this chipset revision. Also enable the short transfer quirk, since it's likely this revision also has that quirk, and it should be harmless to enable. 04:00.0 0c03: 1b73:1400 (rev 01) (prog-if 30 [XHCI]) Subsystem: 1d5c:1000 Physical Slot: 3 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- SERR- Reported-by: A Sh Tested-by: A Sh Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: OHCI: workaround for hardware bug: retired TDs not added to the Done Queue

2012-12-17T18:37:46Z

commit 50ce5c0683aa83eb161624ea89daa5a9eee0c2ce upstream. This patch (as1636) is a partial workaround for a hardware bug affecting OHCI controllers by NVIDIA at least, maybe others too. When the controller retires a Transfer Descriptor, it is supposed to add the TD onto the Done Queue. But sometimes this doesn't happen, with the result that ohci-hcd never realizes the corresponding transfer has finished. Symptoms can vary; a typical result is that USB audio stops working after a while. The patch works around the problem by recognizing that TDs are always processed in order. Therefore, if a later TD is found on the Done Queue than all the earlier TDs for the same endpoint must be finished as well. Unfortunately this won't solve the problem in cases where the missing TD is the last one in the endpoint's queue. A complete fix would require a signficant amount of change to the driver.

ACPI / PNP: Do not crash due to stale pointer use during system resume

2012-12-17T18:37:45Z

commit a6b5e88c0e42093b9057856f35770966c8c591e3 upstream. During resume from system suspend the 'data' field of struct pnp_dev in pnpacpi_set_resources() may be a stale pointer, due to removal of the associated ACPI device node object in the previous suspend-resume cycle. This happens, for example, if a dockable machine is booted in the docking station and then suspended and resumed and suspended again. If that happens, pnpacpi_build_resource_template() called from pnpacpi_set_resources() attempts to use that pointer and crashes. However, pnpacpi_set_resources() actually checks the device's ACPI handle, attempts to find the ACPI device node object attached to it and returns an error code if that fails, so in fact it knows what the correct value of dev->data should be. Use this observation to update dev->data with the correct value if necessary and dump a call trace if that's the case (once). We still need to fix the root cause of this issue, but preventing systems from crashing because of it is an improvement too.
