mtd: ams-delta: fix request_mem_region() failure

2012-05-08T21:24:33Z

A call to request_mem_region() has been introduced in the omap-gpio driver recently (commit 96751fcbe5438e95514b025e9cee7a6d38038f40, "gpio/omap: Use devm_ API and add request_mem_region"). This change prevented the Amstrad Delta NAND driver, which was doing the same in order to take control over OMAP MPU I/O lines that the NAND device hangs off, from loading successfully. The I/O lines and corresponding registers used by the NAND driver are a subset of those used for the GPIO function. Then, to avoid run time collisions, all MPUIO GPIO lines should be marked as requested while initializing the NAND driver, and vice versa, a single MPUIO GPIO line already requested before the NAND driver initialization is attempted should prevent the NAND device from being started successfully. There is another driver, omap-keypad, which also manipulates MPUIO registers, but has never been calling request_mem_region() on startup, so it's not affected by the change in the gpio-omap and works correctly. It uses the depreciated omap_read/write functions for accessing MPUIO registers. Unlike the NAND driver, these I/O lines and registers are separate from those used by the GPIO driver. However, both register sets are non-contiguous and overlapping, so it would be impractical to request the two sets separately, one from the gpio-omap, the other form the omap-keypad driver. In order to solve all these issues correctly, a solution first suggested by Artem Bityutskiy, then closer specified by Tony Lindgren while they commented the initial version of this fix, should be implemented. The gpio-omap driver should export a few functions which would allow the other two drivers to access MPUIO registers in a safe manner instead of trying to manage them in parallel to the GPIO driver. However, such a big change, affecting 3 drivers all together, is not suitable for the rc cycle, and should be prepared for the merge window. Then, an alternative solution is proposed as a regression fix. For the ams-delta NAND driver to initialize correctly in coexistence with the changed GPIO driver, drop the request_mem_region() call from the former, especially as this call is going to be removed while the long-term solution is implemented. Tested on Amstrad Delta. Signed-off-by: Janusz Krzysztofik Acked-by: Tony Lindgren Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

mtd: fix oops in dataflash driver

2012-05-07T19:29:50Z

I'm seeing an oops in mtd_dataflash.c with Linux 3.3. What appears to be happening is that otp_select_filemode calls mtd_read_fact_prot_reg with -1 for offset and length and a NULL buffer to test if OTP operations are supported. This finds its way down to otp_read in mtd_dataflash.c and causes an oops when memcpying the returned data into the NULL buf. None of the checks in otp_read catches the negative length and offset. Changing the length of the dummy read to 0 prevents the oops. Cc: stable@kernel.org [3.3+] Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

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
