commit b8430e1b upstream. usb-storage: Workaround devices with bogus sense size Some devices, such as Huawei E169, advertise more than the standard amount of sense data, causing us to set US_FL_SANE_SENSE, assuming they support it. However, they subsequently fail the request sense with that size. This works around it generically. When a sense request fails due to a device returning an error, US_FL_SANE_SENSE was set, and that sense request used a larger sense size, we retry with a smaller size before giving up.

commit 83db93f4 upstream. sysfs_notify_dirent is a simple atomic operation that can be used to alert user-space that new data can be read from a sysfs attribute. Unfortunately it cannot currently be called from non-process context because of its use of spin_lock which is sometimes taken with interrupts enabled. So change all lockers of sysfs_open_dirent_lock to disable interrupts, thus making sysfs_notify_dirent safe to be called from non-process context (as drivers/md does in md_safemode_timeout). sysfs_get_open_dirent is (documented as being) only called from process context, so it uses spin_lock_irq. Other places use spin_lock_irqsave. The usage for sysfs_notify_dirent in md_safemode_timeout was introduced in 2.6.28, so this patch is suitable for that and more recent kernels. Reported-by:

commit d8e180dc upstream. When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.

commit 18c40784 upstream. The client->driver pointer can be NULL when i2c-device probing fails in i2c_new_device(). This patch adds the NULL checks for client->driver and return the error instead of blind assumption of driver availability. Reported-by:

commit 6f6b35e1 upstream. If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access to the driver anyway. Signed-off-by:

commit 9eba32b8 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.

commit 0729e196 upstream. PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup. It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed. Signed-off-by:

commit 84bc4af5 upstream. There is currently no check to ensure that userspace uses the same futex requeue target (uaddr2) in futex_requeue() that the waiter used in futex_wait_requeue_pi(). A mismatch here could very unexpected results as the waiter assumes it either wakes on uaddr1 or uaddr2. We could detect this on wakeup in the waiter, but the cleanup is more intense after the improper requeue has occured. This patch stores the waiter's expected requeue target in a new requeue_pi_key pointer in the futex_q which futex_requeue() checks prior to attempting to do a proxy lock acquistion or a requeue when requeue_pi=1. If they don't match, return -EINVAL from futex_requeue, aborting the requeue of any remaining waiters. Signed-off-by:

commit 51b563fc upstream. Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: "David S.

commit f1a0743b upstream. This patch (as1294) fixes a problem that has plagued users for several kernel releases. Some USB mass-storage devices don't return any sense data when they encounter certain kinds of errors. The SCSI layer interprets this to mean that the operation should be retried, and the same thing happens -- over and over again with no limit. In some circumstances (such as when a bus reset occurs) that is the right thing to do, but not here. The patch checks for this condition (a transport failure with no sense data) and changes the result code to DID_ERROR and the sense code to Hardware Error. This does get only a limited number of retries, and so the command will fail relatively quickly instead of getting stuck in an infinite loop. This fixes a large part of Bugzilla #14118.

commit a4720c65 upstream. This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core. If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an invalid memory access. The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has been called. Signed-off-by:

commit 71999d98 upstream. Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled, and debugged it back to edx register corruption. For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special calling sequences to make them more efficient. With the more recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_ macros. This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in __PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use. Reported-by:
