virtio: console: tell host of open ports after resume from s3/s4

2012-05-17T09:14:33Z

If a port was open before going into one of the sleep states, the port can continue normal operation after restore. However, the host has to be told that the guest side of the connection is open to restore pre-suspend state. This wasn't noticed so far due to a bug in qemu that was fixed recently (which marked the guest-side connection as always open).

drivers/char/random.c: fix boot id uniqueness race

2012-04-12T20:12:12Z

/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id can be read concurrently by userspace processes. If two (or more) user-space processes concurrently read boot_id when sysctl_bootid is not yet assigned, a race can occur making boot_id differ between the reads. Because the whole point of the boot id is to be unique across a kernel execution, fix this by protecting this operation with a spinlock. Given that this operation is not frequently used, hitting the spinlock on each call should not be an issue.

printk(): add KERN_CONT where needed in hpet and vt code

2012-04-09T17:30:39Z

A prototype for kmsg records instead of a byte-stream buffer revealed a couple of missing printk(KERN_CONT ...) uses. Subsequent calls produce one record per printk() call, while all should have ended up in a single record. Instead of: ACPI: (supports S0 S5) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11) hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2 , 8 , 0 It prints: ACPI: (supports S0 S5 ) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11 ) hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2 , 8 , 0 Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton: "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to merge things. I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion." * emailed from Andrew Morton : (16 patches) memcg swap: use mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap fix backlight: add driver for DA9052/53 PMIC v1 C6X: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() MAINTAINERS: add entry for sparse checker MAINTAINERS: fix REMOTEPROC F: typo alpha: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open() scripts/coccinelle/api/simple_open.cocci: semantic patch for simple_open() libfs: add simple_open() hugetlbfs: remove unregister_filesystem() when initializing module drivers/rtc/rtc-88pm860x.c: fix rtc irq enable callback fs/xattr.c:setxattr(): improve handling of allocation failures fs/xattr.c:listxattr(): fall back to vmalloc() if kmalloc() failed fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() sysrq: use SEND_SIG_FORCED instead of force_sig() proc: fix mount -t proc -o AAA

simple_open: automatically convert to simple_open()

2012-04-05T22:25:50Z

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open(). This replacement was done with the following semantic patch: @ open @ identifier open_f != simple_open; identifier i, f; @@ -int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) -{ ( -if (i->i_private) -f->private_data = i->i_private; | -f->private_data = i->i_private; ) -return 0; -} @ has_open depends on open @ identifier fops; identifier open.open_f; @@ struct file_operations fops = { ... -.open = open_f, +.open = simple_open, ... }; [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Julia Lawall Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

APM: fix deadlock in APM_IOC_SUSPEND ioctl

2012-04-03T01:42:36Z

I found the Xorg server on my ARM device stuck in the 'msleep()' loop in apm_ioctl. I suspect it had attempted suspend immediately after resuming and lost a race. During that msleep(10);, a new suspend cycle must have started and changed ->suspend_state to SUSPEND_PENDING, so it was never seen to be SUSPEND_DONE and the loop could never exited. It would have moved on to SUSPEND_ACKTO but never been able to reach SUSPEND_DONE. So change the loop to only run while SUSPEND_ACKED rather than until SUSPEND_DONE. This is much safer.
