2e8ca1b618 USB: usb-storage: add BAD_SENSE flag
commit a0bb108112a872c0b0c4b3ef4974f95fb75b155d upstream.

This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are
pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data.  The information
they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense
data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or
hang.  The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets.

The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage
should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data.  The flag can
be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter,
and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more
than 18 bytes fails or times out.

An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a
Prolific chip having this bug.

b5939fce19 KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not just a subset
commit d7b0b5eb3000c6fb902f08c619fcd673a23d8fab upstream.

This patch moves s390 processor status word into the base kvm_run
struct and keeps it up-to date on all userspace exits.

The userspace ABI is broken by this, however there are no applications
in the wild using this.  A capability check is provided so users can
verify the updated API exists.

083e53a1b8 hrtimer: Fix /proc/timer_list regression
commit 8629ea2eaba8ca0de2e38ce1b4a825e16255976e upstream.

commit 507e1231 (timer stats: Optimize by adding quick check to avoid
function calls) introduced a regression in /proc/timer_list.

/proc/timer_list shows now
 #0: <c27d46b0>, tick_sched_timer, S:01, <(null)>, /-1
instead of
 #0: <c27d46b0>, tick_sched_timer, S:01, hrtimer_start, swapper/0

Revert the hrtimer quick check for now. The optimization needs more
thought, but this is neither 2.6.32-rc7 nor stable material.

[ tglx: - Removed unrelated changes from the original patch
  	- Prevent unneccesary call to timer_stats_update_stats

59cebab12f signal: Fix alternate signal stack check
commit 2a855dd01bc1539111adb7233f587c5c468732ac upstream.

All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.

The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c

The test case creates the following stack scenario:
   0xn0300	stack top
   0xn0200	alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start == stack pointer

If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"

On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
   0xn0200	stack pointer
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
   		    	  	  (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn0000	stack base

This is handled correctly by the current implementation.

[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
  	would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
  	down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
  	strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
  	variants ]

3c4f4e86d3 SCSI: scsi_lib_dma: fix bug with dma maps on nested scsi objects
commit d139b9bd0e52dda14fd13412e7096e68b56d0076 upstream.

Some of our virtual SCSI hosts don't have a proper bus parent at the
top, which can be a problem for doing DMA on them

This patch makes the host device cache a pointer to the physical bus
device and provides an extra API for setting it (the normal API picks
it up from the parent).  This patch also modifies the qla2xxx and lpfc
vport logic to use the new DMA host setting API.

54088f5df9 ext4: Adjust ext4_da_writepages() to write out larger contiguous chunks
(cherry picked from commit 55138e0bc29c0751e2152df9ad35deea542f29b3)

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small.  This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time.  So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode.  We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

(cherry picked from commit 3661d28615ea580c1db02a972fd4d3898df1cb01)

Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with
SystemTap, since the fs/ext4/*.h header files are not packaged up as
part of a distribution kernel's header files.  Since systemtap doesn't
use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then
make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source
files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file.

325786e848 netfilter: nf_nat: fix NAT issue in 2.6.30.4+
commit f9dd09c7f7199685601d75882447a6598be8a3e0 upstream.

Vitezslav Samel discovered that since 2.6.30.4+ active FTP can not work
over NAT. The "cause" of the problem was a fix of unacknowledged data
detection with NAT (commit a3a9f79e36).
However, actually, that fix uncovered a long standing bug in TCP conntrack:
when NAT was enabled, we simply updated the max of the right edge of
the segments we have seen (td_end), by the offset NAT produced with
changing IP/port in the data. However, we did not update the other parameter
(td_maxend) which is affected by the NAT offset. Thus that could drift
away from the correct value and thus resulted breaking active FTP.

The patch below fixes the issue by *not* updating the conntrack parameters
from NAT, but instead taking into account the NAT offsets in conntrack in a
consistent way. (Updating from NAT would be more harder and expensive because
it'd need to re-calculate parameters we already calculated in conntrack.)

b62b52ae0d mac80211: fix spurious delBA handling
commit 827d42c9ac91ddd728e4f4a31fefb906ef2ceff7 upstream.

Lennert Buytenhek noticed that delBA handling in mac80211
was broken and has remotely triggerable problems, some of
which are due to some code shuffling I did that ended up
changing the order in which things were done -- this was

    mac80211: RX aggregation: clean up stop session

and other parts were already present in the original

  commit d92684e660
  Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com>
  Date:   Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200

      mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support

The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.

The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.

For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
 1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
    about the session state; don't drop the lock

 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
    even before the session was really started -- this is
    true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
    iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
    (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

ee2c54041d PM / yenta: Split resume into early and late parts (rev. 4)
commit 9905d1b411946fb3fb228e8c6529fd94afda8a92 upstream.

Commit 0c570cdeb8fdfcb354a3e9cd81bfc6a09c19de0c
(PM / yenta: Fix cardbus suspend/resume regression) caused resume to
fail on systems with two CardBus bridges.  While the exact nature
of the failure is not known at the moment, it can be worked around by
splitting the yenta resume into an early part, executed during the
early phase of resume, that will only resume the socket and power it
up if there was a card in it during suspend, and a late part,
executed during "regular" resume, that will carry out all of the
remaining yenta resume operations.

Fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14334, which is a
listed regression from 2.6.31.

20cde25b83 powerpc: Fix some late PowerMac G5 with PCIe ATI graphics
commit cede3930f0ca6fef353fa01306c72a01420bd45e upstream.

A misconfiguration by the firmware of the U4 PCIe bridge on PowerMac G5
with the U4 bridge (latest generations, may also affect the iMac G5
"iSight") is causing us to re-assign the PCI BARs of the video card,
which can get it out of sync with the firmware, thus breaking offb.

This works around it by fixing up the bridge configuration properly
at boot time. It also fixes a bug where the firmware provides us with
an incorrect set of accessible regions in the device-tree.

9f00eee2ff param: fix lots of bugs with writing charp params from sysfs, by leaking mem.
commit 65afac7d80ab3bc9f81e75eafb71eeb92a3ebdef upstream.

e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.

Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs.  But that's not all:

1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
   uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
   it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.

The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory.  This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak.  In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

34976a3ca8 Bluetooth: Add extra device reference counting for connections
commit 9eba32b86d17ef87131fa0bce43c614904ab5781 upstream.

The device model itself has no real usable reference counting at the
moment and this causes problems if parents are deleted before their
children. The device model itself handles the memory details of this
correctly, but the uevent order is not consistent. This causes various
problems for systems like HAL or even X.

So until device_put() does a proper cleanup, the device for Bluetooth
connection will be protected with an extra reference counting to ensure
the correct order of uevents when connections are terminated.

This is not an automatic feature. Higher Bluetooth layers like HIDP or
BNEP should grab this new reference to ensure that their uevents are
send before the ones from the parent device.

operation.

This patch fixes an easily reproducible tx lockup when sending a frame
that results in exactly 512 bytes in a USB transmission (e.g. a UDP
frame with 458 data bytes, due to IP headers and our USB headers).  It
adds an extra flag to usbnet for the hardware driver to indicate that
it can handle and requires the zero length packets.

This patch should not affect other usbnet users, please also consider
for -stable.

process and hides the lot from the caller.

At some point in the future this will be paired with a similar open()
helper and the drivers can stick to hardware management.

commit 827b4649d4626bf97b203b4bcd69476bb9b4e760 upstream.

pcmcia_socket_dev_suspend() doesn't use its second argument, so it

This change is necessary for the subsequent yenta suspend/resume fix.

be45e259c6 KVM: x86: Disallow hypercalls for guest callers in rings > 0
commit 07708c4af1346ab1521b26a202f438366b7bcffd upstream.

So far unprivileged guest callers running in ring 3 can issue, e.g., MMU
hypercalls. Normally, such callers cannot provide any hand-crafted MMU
command structure as it has to be passed by its physical address, but
they can still crash the guest kernel by passing random addresses.

To close the hole, this patch considers hypercalls valid only if issued
from guest ring 0. This may still be relaxed on a per-hypercall base in
the future once required.

a2a8474c3f exec: do not sleep in TASK_TRACED under ->cred_guard_mutex
Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since

	"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
	04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d

commit in 2.6.31.

But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.

The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex.  Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.

With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:

	- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
	  and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.

	- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
	  and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().

	  or, if exec fails,

	  free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
	  indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.

4e49627b9b workqueues: introduce __cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_delayed_work() has to use del_timer_sync() to guarantee the timer
function is not running after return.  But most users doesn't actually
need this, and del_timer_sync() has problems: it is not useable from
interrupt, and it depends on every lock which could be taken from irq.

Introduce __cancel_delayed_work() which calls del_timer() instead.

The immediate reason for this patch is
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13757
but hopefully this helper makes sense anyway.

As for 13757 bug, actually we need requeue_delayed_work(), but its
semantics are not yet clear.

Merge this patch early to resolves cross-tree interdependencies between
input and infiniband.

7ec23d5094 dm log: userspace add luid to distinguish between concurrent log instances
Device-mapper userspace logs (like the clustered log) are
identified by a universally unique identifier (UUID).  This
identifier is used to associate requests from the kernel to
a specific log in userspace.  The UUID must be unique everywhere,
since multiple machines may use this identifier when communicating
about a particular log, as is the case for cluster logs.

Sometimes, device-mapper/LVM may re-use a UUID.  This is the
case during pvmoves, when moving from one segment of an LV
to another, or when resizing a mirror, etc.  In these cases,
a new log is created with the same UUID and loaded in the
"inactive" slot.  When a device-mapper "resume" is issued,
the "live" table is deactivated and the new "inactive" table
becomes "live".  (The "inactive" table can also be removed
via a device-mapper 'clear' command.)

The above two issues were colliding.  More than one log was being
created with the same UUID, and there was no way to distinguish
between them.  So, sometimes the wrong log would be swapped
out during the exchange.

The solution is to create a locally unique identifier,
'luid', to go along with the UUID.  This new identifier is used
to determine exactly which log is being referenced by the kernel
when the log exchange is made.  The identifier is not
universally safe, but it does not need to be, since
create/destroy/suspend/resume operations are bound to a specific
machine; and these are the operations that make up the exchange.

These are full of unresolved problems, mainly that conversions don't

tasklets can't be killed from softirq context.

And when a qdisc gets reset, that's exactly what we need to do here.

backport that work to -stable.

As struct skcipher_givcrypt_request includes struct crypto_request
at a non-zero offset, testing for NULL after converting the pointer
returned by crypto_dequeue_request does not work.  This can result
in IPsec crashes when the queue is depleted.

This patch fixes it by doing the pointer conversion only when the
return value is non-NULL.  In particular, we create a new function
__crypto_dequeue_request that does the pointer conversion.

2a908002c7 ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

b62e408c05 flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as
part of the flex array API.

flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative
quantity, which is obviously erroneous.

flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in
dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before
struct flex_array.

The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as
unsigned.  Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max
array size based on element_size need not be changed.

353d5c30c6 mm: fix hugetlb bug due to user_shm_unlock call
2.6.30's commit 8a0bdec194 removed
user_shm_lock() calls in hugetlb_file_setup() but left the
user_shm_unlock call in shm_destroy().

In detail:
Assume that can_do_hugetlb_shm() returns true and hence user_shm_lock()
is not called in hugetlb_file_setup(). However, user_shm_unlock() is
called in any case in shm_destroy() and in the following
atomic_dec_and_lock(&up->__count) in free_uid() is executed and if
up->__count gets zero, also cleanup_user_struct() is scheduled.

Note that sched_destroy_user() is empty if CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set.
However, the ref counter up->__count gets unexpectedly non-positive and
the corresponding structs are freed even though there are live
references to them, resulting in a kernel oops after a lots of
shmget(SHM_HUGETLB)/shmctl(IPC_RMID) cycles and CONFIG_USER_SCHED set.

Hugh changed Stefan's suggested patch: can_do_hugetlb_shm() at the
time of shm_destroy() may give a different answer from at the time
of hugetlb_file_setup().  And fixed newseg()'s no_id error path,
which has missed user_shm_unlock() ever since it came in 2.6.9.

f4b0373b26 Make bitmask 'and' operators return a result code
When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not.  In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.

So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.
