git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes From Tony Lindgren: Some omap related fixes that have come up with people moving to device tree only based booting for omap2+. The series contains a handful of fixes for the igep boards as they were one of the first omap3 boards to jump over completely to device tree based booting. So these can be considered regressions compared to booting igep in legacy mode with board files in v3.12. Also included are few other device tree vs legacy booting regressions: - yet more missing omap3 .dtsi entries that have showed up booting various boards with device tree only - n900 eMMC device tree fix - fixes for beagle USB EHCI - two fixes to make omap2420 MMC work As we're moving omap2+ to be device tree only for v3.14, I'd like to have v3.13 work equally well for legacy based booting and device tree based booting. So there will be likely few more device tree related booting patches trickling in. This series also includes a regression fix for the omap timer posted mode that may wrongly stay on from the bootloader for some SoCs. * tag 'omap-for-v3.13/fixes-against-rc1-take2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: mmc: omap: Fix I2C dependency and make driver usable with device tree mmc: omap: Fix DMA configuration to not rely on device id ARM: dts: omap3-beagle: Fix USB host on beagle boards (for 3.13) ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: name twl4030 VPLL2 regulator as vdds_dsi ARM: dts: AM33XX IGEP0033: add USB support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add 32KBit EEPROM support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add pinmux and user led support ARM: dts: AM33XX BASE0033: add pinmux and hdmi node to enable display ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: Add pinmuxing for DVI output ARM: dts: omap3-igep0020: Add pinmux setup for i2c devices ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Update to use the TI AM/DM37x processor ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Add support for LBEE1USJYC WiFi connected to SDIO ARM: dts: omap3-igep: Fix bus-width for mmc1 ARM: OMAP2+: dss-common: change IGEP's DVI DDC i2c bus ARM: OMAP2+: Disable POSTED mode for errata i103 and i767 ARM: OMAP2+: Fix eMMC on n900 with device tree ARM: OMAP2+: Add fixed regulator to omap2plus_defconfig ARM: OMAP2+: Fix more missing data for omap3.dtsi file Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

2013-12-03cpufreq: fix garbage kobjects on errors during suspend/resumeBjørn Mork
This is effectively a revert of commit 5302c3fb2e62 ("cpufreq: Perform light-weight init/teardown during suspend/resume"), which enabled suspend/resume optimizations leaving the sysfs files in place. Errors during suspend/resume are not handled properly, leaving dead sysfs attributes in case of failures. There are are number of functions with special code for the "frozen" case, and all these need to also have special error handling. The problem is easy to demonstrate by making cpufreq_driver->init() or cpufreq_driver->get() fail during resume. The code is too complex for a simple fix, with split code paths in multiple blocks within a number of functions. It is therefore best to revert the patch enabling this code until the error handling is in place. Examples of problems resulting from resume errors: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 6055 at fs/sysfs/file.c:343 sysfs_open_file+0x77/0x212() missing sysfs attribute operations for kobject: (null) Modules linked in: [stripped as irrelevant] CPU: 0 PID: 6055 Comm: grep Tainted: G D 3.13.0-rc2 #153 Hardware name: LENOVO 2776LEG/2776LEG, BIOS 6EET55WW (3.15 ) 12/19/2011 0000000000000009 ffff8802327ebb78 ffffffff81380b0e 0000000000000006 ffff8802327ebbc8 ffff8802327ebbb8 ffffffff81038635 0000000000000000 ffffffff811823c7 ffff88021a19e688 ffff88021a19e688 ffff8802302f9310 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81380b0e>] dump_stack+0x55/0x76 [<ffffffff81038635>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7c/0x96 [<ffffffff811823c7>] ? sysfs_open_file+0x77/0x212 [<ffffffff810386e3>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x43 [<ffffffff81182dec>] ? sysfs_get_active+0x6b/0x82 [<ffffffff81182382>] ? sysfs_open_file+0x32/0x212 [<ffffffff811823c7>] sysfs_open_file+0x77/0x212 [<ffffffff81182350>] ? sysfs_schedule_callback+0x1ac/0x1ac [<ffffffff81122562>] do_dentry_open+0x17c/0x257 [<ffffffff8112267e>] finish_open+0x41/0x4f [<ffffffff81130225>] do_last+0x80c/0x9ba [<ffffffff8112dbbd>] ? inode_permission+0x40/0x42 [<ffffffff81130606>] path_openat+0x233/0x4a1 [<ffffffff81130b7e>] do_filp_open+0x35/0x85 [<ffffffff8113b787>] ? __alloc_fd+0x172/0x184 [<ffffffff811232ea>] do_sys_open+0x6b/0xfa [<ffffffff811233a7>] SyS_openat+0xf/0x11 [<ffffffff8138c812>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The failure to restore cpufreq devices on cancelled hibernation is not a new bug. It is caused by the ACPI _PPC call failing unless the hibernate is completed. This makes the acpi_cpufreq driver fail its init. Previously, the cpufreq device could be restored by offlining the cpu temporarily. And as a complete hibernation cycle would do this, it would be automatically restored most of the time. But after commit 5302c3fb2e62 the leftover sysfs attributes will block any device add action. Therefore offlining and onlining CPU 1 will no longer restore the cpufreq object, and a complete suspend/resume cycle will replace it with garbage.

2013-12-03powerpc/gpio: Fix the wrong GPIO input data on MPC8572/MPC8536Liu Gang
For MPC8572/MPC8536, the status of GPIOs defined as output cannot be determined by reading GPDAT register, so the code use shadow data register instead. But the code may give the wrong status of GPIOs defined as input under some scenarios: 1. If some pins were configured as inputs and were asserted high before booting the kernel, the shadow data has been initialized with those pin values. 2. Some pins have been configured as output first and have been set to the high value, then reconfigured as input. The above cases will make the shadow data for those input pins to be set to high. Then reading the pin status will always return high even if the actual pin status is low. The code should eliminate the effects of the shadow data to the input pins, and the status of those pins should be read directly from GPDAT.

2013-12-02leds: pwm: Fix for deferred probe in DT booted modePeter Ujfalusi
We need to make sure that the error code from devm_of_pwm_get() is the one the module returns in case of failure. Restructure the code to make this possible for DT booted case. With this patch the driver can ask for deferred probing when the board is booted with DT. Fixes for example omap4-sdp board's keyboard backlight led.

2013-12-02uio: we cannot mmap unaligned page contentsLinus Torvalds
In commit 7314e613d5ff ("Fix a few incorrectly checked [io_]remap_pfn_range() calls") the uio driver started more properly checking the passed-in user mapping arguments against the size of the actual uio driver data. That in turn exposed that some driver authors apparently didn't realize that mmap can only work on a page granularity, and had tried to use it with smaller mappings, with the new size check catching that out. So since it's not just the user mmap() arguments that can be confused, make the uio mmap code also verify that the uio driver has the memory allocated at page boundaries in order for mmap to work. If the device memory isn't properly aligned, we return [ENODEV] The fildes argument refers to a file whose type is not supported by mmap(). as per the open group documentation on mmap.

2013-11-30[SCSI] hpsa: return 0 from driver probe function on success, not 1Stephen M. Cameron
A return value of 1 is interpreted as an error. See pci_driver. in local_pci_probe(). If you're wondering how this ever could have worked, it's because it used to be the case that only return values less than zero were interpreted as failure. But even in the current kernel if the driver registers its various entry points with the kernel, and then returns a value which is interpreted as failure, those registrations aren't undone, so the driver still mostly works. However, the driver's remove function wouldn't be called on rmmod, and pci power management functions wouldn't work. In the case of Smart Array, since it has a battery backed cache (or else no cache) even if the driver is not shut down properly as long as there is no outstanding i/o, nothing too bad happens, which is why it took so long to notice. Requesting backport to stable because the change to pci-driver.c which requires driver probe functions to return 0 occurred between 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 (the pci power management breakage) and again between 3.7 and 3.8 (pci_dev->driver getting set to NULL in local_pci_probe() preventing driver remove function from being called on rmmod.)

2013-11-30e1000: fix possible reset_task running after adapter downVladimir Davydov
On e1000_down(), we should ensure every asynchronous work is canceled before proceeding. Since the watchdog_task can schedule other works apart from itself, it should be stopped first, but currently it is stopped after the reset_task. This can result in the following race leading to the reset_task running after the module unload: e1000_down_and_stop(): e1000_watchdog(): ---------------------- ----------------- cancel_work_sync(reset_task) schedule_work(reset_task) cancel_delayed_work_sync(watchdog_task) The patch moves cancel_delayed_work_sync(watchdog_task) at the beginning of e1000_down_and_stop() thus ensuring the race is impossible.

So the question is what does adapter->mutex protect there? The adapter->mutex was introduced by commit 0ef4ee ("e1000: convert to private mutex from rtnl") as a replacement for rtnl_lock() taken in the asynchronous handlers. It targeted on fixing a similar lockdep warning issued when e1000_down() was called under rtnl_lock(), and it fixed it, but unfortunately it introduced the lockdep warning described above. Anyway, that said the source of this bug is that the asynchronous works were made to take rtnl_lock() some time ago, so let's look deeper and find why it was added there. The rtnl_lock() was added to asynchronous handlers by commit 338c15 ("e1000: fix occasional panic on unload") in order to prevent asynchronous handlers from execution after the module is unloaded (e1000_down() is called) as it follows from the comment to the commit: > Net drivers in general have an issue where timers fired > by mod_timer or work threads with schedule_work are running > outside of the rtnl_lock. > > With no other lock protection these routines are vulnerable > to races with driver unload or reset paths. > > The longer term solution to this might be a redesign with > safer locks being taken in the driver to guarantee no > reentrance, but for now a safe and effective fix is > to take the rtnl_lock in these routines. I'm not sure if this locking scheme fixed the problem or just made it unlikely, although I incline to the latter. Anyway, this was long time ago when e1000 auxiliary works were implemented as timers scheduling real work handlers in their routines. The e1000_down() function only canceled the timers, but left the real handlers running if they were running, which could result in work execution after module unload. Today, the e1000 driver uses sane delayed works instead of the pair timer+work to implement its delayed asynchronous handlers, and the e1000_down() synchronously cancels all the works so that the problem that commit 338c15 tried to cope with disappeared, and we don't need any locks in the handlers any more. Moreover, any locking there can potentially result in a deadlock. So, this patch reverts commits 0ef4ee and 338c15.
