commit 4bdee6c5 upstream sata_mv allowed issuing two DMA commands concurrently which the hardware allows. Unfortunately, libata core layer isn't ready for this yet and spews ugly warning message and malfunctions on this. Don't allow concurrent DMA commands for now. Signed-off-by:

David Wagner added (among other things) that copy_to_user could be probably used here. Ingo Oeser suggested to use simple_read_from_buffer() here. The conclusion is that proc_do_xprt doesn't check for userside buffer size indeed so fix this by using Ingo's suggestion. Reported-by:

patch 4ba526ce upstream The git commit 7c5026aa ("tg3: Add link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a new event. Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended. This patch fixes that bug. This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events though. Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects of the delay. This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware. If the jiffies counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event. Signed-off-by:

crypto: authenc - Avoid using clobbered request pointer [ Upstream commit: a697690b ] Authenc works in two stages for encryption, it first encrypts and then computes an ICV. The context memory of the request is used by both operations. The problem is that when an asynchronous encryption completes, we will compute the ICV and then reread the context memory of the encryption to get the original request. It just happens that we have a buffer of 16 bytes in front of the request pointer, so ICVs of 16 bytes (such as SHA1) do not trigger the bug. However, any attempt to uses a larger ICV instantly kills the machine when the first asynchronous encryption is completed. This patch fixes this by saving the request pointer before we start the ICV computation. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit f2b60794 ] First, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() interprets it's argument (mostly, heh) as a size limit not an address limit. So pass the raw cmdline_memory_size value into it. And we don't need to check it against zero, lmb_enforce_memory_limit() does that for us. Next, free_initmem() needs special handling when the kernel command line trims the available memory. The problem case is if the trimmed out memory is where the kernel image itself resides. When that memory is trimmed out, we don't add those physical ram areas to the sparsemem active ranges, amongst other things. Which means that this free_initmem() code will free up invalid page structs, resulting in either crashes or hangs. Just quick fix this by not freeing initmem at all if "mem=" was given on the boot command line. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 37b08e34 ] Ever since commit 4c563f76 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 7c19a3d2 ] This essentially reverts two commits: 1) 2e804627 ("[IPV4] MROUTE: Move PIM definitions to <linux/pim.h>.") and 2) 80a9492a ("[IPV4] MROUTE: Adjust include files for user-space.") which broke userpsace, in particular the XORP build as reported by Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer for XORP. Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong. If we didn't provide these definitions for 10 years we can reasonable expect that applications defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the protocol definitions. And as such the only result of this can be conflict and userland build breakage. The commit #1 had such a short and terse commit message, that we cannot even know why such a move and set of new userland exports were even made. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit d97106ea ] The socket lock is there to protect the normal UDP receive path. Encapsulation UDP sockets don't need that protection. In fact the locking is deadly for them as they may contain another UDP packet within, possibly with the same addresses. Also the nested bit was copied from TCP. TCP needs it because of accept(2) spawning sockets. This simply doesn't apply to UDP so I've removed it. Signed-off-by:

commit 344c790e upstream I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes. Signed-off-by:

commit 363f66fe upstream Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly re-assert THRE (01c194d9: "serial 8250: tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular UART IP it is fatal. This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can check this bit even if the test for the bug fails. David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ... and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable." Signed-off-by:

commit 8b76f46a upstream Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus. This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by commit adc782da Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Date: Tue Apr 29 01:03:07 2008 -0700 random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store credit_entropy_bits() does: spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); ... if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS) r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS; so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON(): static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min, int reserved) { unsigned long flags; BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS); /* Hold lock while accounting */ spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); can trigger. We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

commit 838726c4 upstream The direct I/O write codepath for CIFS is done through cifs_user_write(). That function does not currently call generic_write_checks() so the file position isn't being properly set when the file is opened with O_APPEND. It's also not doing the other "normal" checks that should be done for a write call. The problem is currently that when you open a file with O_APPEND on a mount with the directio mount option, the file position is set to the beginning of the file. This makes any subsequent writes clobber the data in the file starting at the beginning. This seems to fix the problem in cursory testing. It is, however important to note that NFS disallows the combination of (O_DIRECT|O_APPEND). If my understanding is correct, the concern is races with multiple clients appending to a file clobbering each others' data. Since the write model for CIFS and NFS is pretty similar in this regard, CIFS is probably subject to the same sort of races. What's unclear to me is why this is a particular problem with O_DIRECT and not with buffered writes... Regardless, disallowing O_APPEND on an entire mount is probably not reasonable, so we'll probably just have to deal with it and reevaluate this flag combination when we get proper support for O_DIRECT. In the meantime this patch at least fixes the existing problem. Signed-off-by:

commit edcfe5f7 upstream Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation. Signed-off-by:

The fix is to move the misc_bang setting lower - prior to the actual call to the search_binary_handler.
