2013-06-19tg3: Wait for boot code to finish after power onNithin Sujir
commit df465abfe06f7dc4f33f4a96d17f096e9e8ac917 upstream. Some systems that don't need wake-on-lan may choose to power down the chip on system standby. Upon resume, the power on causes the boot code to startup and initialize the hardware. On one new platform, this is causing the device to go into a bad state due to a race between the driver and boot code, once every several hundred resumes. The same race exists on open since we come up from a power on. This patch adds a wait for boot code signature at the beginning of tg3_init_hw() which is common to both cases. If there has not been a power-off or the boot code has already completed, the signature will be present and poll_fw() returns immediately. Also return immediately if the device does not have firmware. Signed-off-by: Nithin Nayak Sujir <nsujir@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-06-19md/raid1: consider WRITE as successful only if at least one non-Faulty and ↵Alex Lyakas
non-rebuilding drive completed it. commit 3056e3aec8d8ba61a0710fb78b2d562600aa2ea7 upstream. Without that fix, the following scenario could happen: - RAID1 with drives A and B; drive B was freshly-added and is rebuilding - Drive A fails - WRITE request arrives to the array. It is failed by drive A, so r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_WriteError, but the rebuilding drive B succeeds in writing it, so the same r1_bio is marked as R1BIO_Uptodate. - r1_bio arrives to handle_write_finished, badblocks are disabled, md_error()->error() does nothing because we don't fail the last drive of raid1 - raid_end_bio_io() calls call_bio_endio() - As a result, in call_bio_endio(): if (!test_bit(R1BIO_Uptodate, &r1_bio->state)) clear_bit(BIO_UPTODATE, &bio->bi_flags); this code doesn't clear the BIO_UPTODATE flag, and the whole master WRITE succeeds, back to the upper layer. So we returned success to the upper layer, even though we had written the data onto the rebuilding drive only. But when we want to read the data back, we would not read from the rebuilding drive, so this data is lost. [neilb - applied identical change to raid10 as well] This bug can result in lost data, so it is suitable for any -stable kernel.

2013-06-19drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: fix missing device_init_wakeup() when booted with ↵Tony Lindgren
device tree commit 24b8256a1fb28d357bc6fa09184ba29b4255ba5c upstream. When booted in legacy mode device_init_wakeup() gets called by drivers/mfd/twl-core.c when the children are initialized. However, when booted using device tree, the children are created with of_platform_populate() instead add_children(). This means that the RTC driver will not have device_init_wakeup() set, and we need to call it from the driver probe like RTC drivers typically do. Without this we cannot test PM wake-up events on omaps for cases where there may not be any physical wake-up event.

2013-06-19cciss: fix broken mutex usage in ioctlStephen M. Cameron
commit 03f47e888daf56c8e9046c674719a0bcc644eed5 upstream. If a new logical drive is added and the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl is invoked (as is normal with the Array Configuration Utility) the process will hang as below. It attempts to acquire the same mutex twice, once in do_ioctl() and once in cciss_unlocked_open(). The BKL was recursive, the mutex isn't.

commit 531671cb17af07281e6f28c1425f754346e65c41 upstream. Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode) for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link stability.

2013-06-19drm/i915: prefer VBT modes for SVDO-LVDS over EDIDDaniel Vetter
commit c3456fb3e4712d0448592af3c5d644c9472cd3c1 upstream. In commit 53d3b4d7778daf15900867336c85d3f8dd70600c Author: Egbert Eich <eich@suse.de> Date: Tue Jun 4 17:13:21 2013 +0200 drm/i915/sdvo: Use &intel_sdvo->ddc instead of intel_sdvo->i2c for DDC Egbert Eich fixed a long-standing bug where we simply used a non-working i2c controller to read the EDID for SDVO-LVDS panels. Unfortunately some machines seem to not be able to cope with the mode provided in the EDID. Specifically they seem to not be able to cope with a 4x pixel mutliplier instead of a 2x one, which seems to have been worked around by slightly changing the panels native mode in the VBT so that the dotclock is just barely above 50MHz. Since it took forever to notice the breakage it's fairly safe to assume that at least for SDVO-LVDS panels the VBT contains fairly sane data. So just switch around the order and use VBT modes first. v2: Also add EDID modes just in case, and spell Egbert correctly. v3: Elaborate a bit more about what's going on on Chris' machine.

2013-06-19radeon: Fix system hang issue when using KMS with older cardsAdis Hamzić
commit e49f3959a96dc279860af7e86e6dbcfda50580a5 upstream. The current radeon driver initialization routines, when using KMS, are written so that the IRQ installation routine is called before initializing the WB buffer and the CP rings. With some ASICs, though, the IRQ routine tries to access the GFX_INDEX ring causing a call to RREG32 with the value of -1 in radeon_fence_read. This, in turn causes the system to completely hang with some cards, requiring a hard reset. A call stack that can cause such a hang looks like this (using rv515 ASIC for the example here): * rv515_init (rv515.c) * radeon_irq_kms_init (radeon_irq_kms.c) * drm_irq_install (drm_irq.c) * radeon_driver_irq_preinstall_kms (radeon_irq_kms.c) * rs600_irq_process (rs600.c) * radeon_fence_process - due to SW interrupt (radeon_fence.c) * radeon_fence_read (radeon_fence.c) * hang due to RREG32(-1) The patch moves the IRQ installation to the card startup routine, after the ring has been initialized, but before the IRQ has been set. This fixes the issue, but requires a check to see if the IRQ is already installed, as is the case in the system resume codepath. I have tested the patch on three machines using the rv515, the rv770 and the evergreen ASIC. They worked without issues. This seems to be a known issue and has been reported on several bug tracking sites by various distributions (see links below). Most of reports recommend booting the system with KMS disabled and then enabling KMS by reloading the radeon module. For some reason, this was indeed a usable workaround, however, UMS is now deprecated and disabled by default.

commit b7ea85a4fed37835eec78a7be3039c8dc22b8178 upstream. When GPU acceleration is disabled, drm_vblank_cleanup() will free the vblank-related data, such as vblank_refcount, vblank_inmodeset, etc. But we found that drm_vblank_post_modeset() may be called after the cleanup, which use vblank_refcount and vblank_inmodeset. And this will cause a kernel panic. Fix this by return immediately if dev->num_crtcs is zero. This is the same thing that drm_vblank_pre_modeset() does.

The commit was valid -- it fixed a real bug -- but the periodic scheduler in ehci-hcd is in such bad shape (especially the part that handles split transactions) that fixing one bug is very likely to cause another to surface. That's what happened in this case; the result was choppy and noisy playback on certain 24-bit audio devices. The only real fix will be to rewrite this entire section of code. My next project...

2013-06-19xhci - correct comp_mode_recovery_timer on return from hibernateTony Camuso
commit 77df9e0b799b03e1d5d9c68062709af5f637e834 upstream. Commit 71c731a2 (usb: host: xhci: Fix Compliance Mode on SN65LVPE502CP Hardware) was a workaround for systems using the SN65LVPE502CP, controller, but it introduced a bug in resume from hibernate. The fix created a timer, comp_mode_recovery_timer, which is deleted from a timer list when xhci_suspend() is called. However, the hibernate image, including the timer list containing the comp_mode_recovery_timer, had already been saved before the timer was deleted. Upon resume from hibernate, the list containing the comp_mode_recovery_timer is restored from the image saved to disk, and xhci_resume(), assuming that the timer had been deleted by xhci_suspend(), makes a call to compliance_mode_recoery_timer_init(), which creates a new instance of the comp_mode_recovery_timer and attempts to place it into the same list in which it is already active, thus corrupting the list during the list_add() call. At this point, a call trace is emitted indicating the list corruption. Soon afterward, the system locks up, the watchdog times out, and the ensuing NMI crashes the system. The problem did not occur when resuming from suspend. In suspend, the image in RAM remains exactly as it was when xhci_suspend() deleted the comp_mode_recovery_timer, so there is no problem when xhci_resume() creates a new instance of this timer and places it in the still empty list. This patch avoids the problem by deleting the timer in xhci_resume() when resuming from hibernate. Now xhci_resume() can safely make the call to create a new instance of this timer, whether returning from suspend or hibernate. Thanks to Alan Stern for his help with understanding the problem. [Sarah reworked this patch to cover the case where the xHCI restore register operation fails, and (temp & STS_SRE) is true (and we re-init the host, including re-init for the compliance mode), but hibernate is false. The original patch would have caused list corruption in this case.] This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, that contain the commit 71c731a296f1b08a3724bd1b514b64f1bda87a23 "usb: host: xhci: Fix Compliance Mode on SN65LVPE502CP Hardware" Signed-off-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> Tested-by: Tony Camuso <tcamuso@redhat.com> Acked-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>

commit 331de00a64e5027365145bdf51da27b9ce15dfd5 upstream. It is possible that we fail on xhci_mem_init, just before doing the INIT_LIST_HEAD, and calling xhci_mem_cleanup. Problem is that, the list_for_each_entry_safe macro, assumes list heads are initialized (not NULL), and dereferences their 'next' pointer, causing a kernel panic if this is not yet initialized. Let's protect from that by moving inits to the beginning.

2013-06-19xen/events: Handle VIRQ_TIMER before any other hardirq in event loop.Keir Fraser
This avoids any other hardirq handler seeing a very stale jiffies value immediately after wakeup from a long idle period. The one observable symptom of this was a USB keyboard, with software keyboard repeat, which would always repeat a key immediately that it was pressed. This is due to the key press waking the guest, the key handler immediately runs, sees an old jiffies value, and then that jiffies value significantly updated, before the key is unpressed.

2013-06-19xen-netback: avoid allocating variable size array on stackWei Liu
commit 59ccb4ebbc35e36a3c143f2d1355deb75c2e628f upstream. Tune xen_netbk_count_requests to not touch working array beyond limit, so that we can make working array size constant.

2013-06-19xen-netback: remove redundent parameter in netbk_count_requestsWei Liu
commit ac69c26e7accb04ae2cb9ab0872068983a42b3c8 upstream. Tracking down from the caller, first_idx is always equal to vif->tx.req_cons. Remove it to avoid confusion.

2013-06-19xen-netback: don't disconnect frontend when seeing oversize packetWei Liu
commit 03393fd5cc2b6cdeec32b704ecba64dbb0feae3c upstream. Some frontend drivers are sending packets > 64 KiB in length. This length overflows the length field in the first slot making the following slots have an invalid length. Turn this error back into a non-fatal error by dropping the packet. To avoid having the following slots having fatal errors, consume all slots in the packet. This does not reopen the security hole in XSA-39 as if the packet as an invalid number of slots it will still hit fatal error case.

2013-06-19xen-netback: coalesce slots in TX path and fix regressionsWei Liu
commit 2810e5b9a7731ca5fce22bfbe12c96e16ac44b6f upstream. This patch tries to coalesce tx requests when constructing grant copy structures. It enables netback to deal with situation when frontend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is larger than backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS. With the help of coalescing, this patch tries to address two regressions avoid reopening the security hole in XSA-39. Regression 1. The reduction of the number of supported ring entries (slots) per packet (from 18 to 17). This regression has been around for some time but remains unnoticed until XSA-39 security fix. This is fixed by coalescing slots. Regression 2. The XSA-39 security fix turning "too many frags" errors from just dropping the packet to a fatal error and disabling the VIF. This is fixed by coalescing slots (handling 18 slots when backend's MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 17) which rules out false positive (using 18 slots is legit) and dropping packets using 19 to `max_skb_slots` slots. To avoid reopening security hole in XSA-39, frontend sending packet using more than max_skb_slots is considered malicious. The behavior of netback for packet is thus: 1-18 slots: valid 19-max_skb_slots slots: drop and respond with an error max_skb_slots+ slots: fatal error max_skb_slots is configurable by admin, default value is 20. Also change variable name from "frags" to "slots" in netbk_count_requests. Please note that RX path still has dependency on MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This will be fixed with separate patch.
