      [CIFS] Avoid open on possible directories since Samba now rejects them · 8db14ca1
      Steve French authored 
      Small change (mostly formatting) to limit lookup based open calls to
file create only.

After discussion yesteday on samba-technical about the posix lookup
regression,  and looking at a problem with cifs posix open to one
particular Samba version, Jeff and JRA realized that Samba server's
behavior changed in this area (posix open behavior on files vs.
directories).   To make this behavior consistent, JRA just made a
fix to Samba server to alter how it handles open of directories (now
returning the equivalent of EISDIR instead of success). Since we don't
know at lookup time whether the inode is a directory or file (and
thus whether posix open will succeed with most current Samba server),
this change avoids the posix open code on lookup open (just issues
posix open on creates).    This gets the semantic benefits we want
(atomicity, posix byte range locks, improved write semantics on newly
created files) and file create still is fast, and we avoid the problem
that Jeff noticed yesterday with "openat" (and some open directory
calls) of non-cached directories to one version of Samba server, and
will work with future Samba versions (which include the fix jra just
pushed into Samba server).  I confirmed this approach with jra
yesterday and with Shirish today.

Posix open is only called (at lookup time) for file create now.
For opens (rather than creates), because we do not know if it
is a file or directory yet, and current Samba no longer allows
us to do posix open on dirs, we could end up wasting an open call
on what turns out to be a dir. For file opens, we wait to call posix
open till cifs_open.  It could be added here (lookup) in the future
but the performance tradeoff of the extra network request when EISDIR
or EACCES is returned would have to be weighed against the 50%
reduction in network traffic in the other paths.

      drm: Round size of SHM maps to PAGE_SIZE · b6741377
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      Currently, userspace can fail to obtain the SAREA mapping (among other
reasons) if it passes SAREA_MAX to drmAddMap without aligning it to the
page size. This breaks for example on PowerPC with 64K pages and radeon
despite the kernel radeon actually doing the right rouding in the first
place.

The way SAREA_MAX is defined with a bunch of ifdef's and duplicated
between libdrm and the X server is gross, ultimately it should be
retrieved by userspace from the kernel, but in the meantime, we have
plenty of existing userspace built with bad values that need to work.

This patch works around broken userspace by rounding the requested size
in drm_addmap_core() of any SHM map to the page size. Since the backing
memory for SHM maps is also allocated within addmap_core, there is no
danger of adjacent memory being exposed due to the increased map size.
The only side effect is that drivers that previously tried to create or
access SHM maps using a size < PAGE_SIZE and failed (getting -EINVAL),
will now succeed at the cost of a little bit more memory used if that
happens to be when the map is created.

      TPM: get_event_name stack corruption · fbaa5869
      Eric Paris authored 
      get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack.  It fills
the buffer 2 bytes at a time.  What the code doesn't take into account is that
sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes.  2 bytes for the data and
then it nul terminates the string.  Since we declare buf to be 40 characters
long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41
characters.  The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

      PCI PM: Fix initialization and kexec breakage for some devices · b3bad72e
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      Recent PCI PM changes introduced a bug that causes some devices to be
mishandled after kexec and during early initialization.  The failure
scenario in the kexec case is the following:

* Assume a PCI device is not power-manageable by the platform and has
  PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET set in PMCSR.
* The device is put into D3 before kexec (using the native PCI PM).
* After kexec, pci_setup_device() sets the device's power state to
  PCI_UNKNOWN.
* pci_set_power_state(dev, PCI_D0) is called by the device's driver.
* __pci_start_power_transition(dev, PCI_D0) is called and since the
  device is not power-manageable by the platform, it causes
  pci_update_current_state(dev, PCI_D0) to be called.  As a result
  the device's current_state field is updated to PCI_D3, in
  accordance with the contents of its PCI PM registers.
* pci_raw_set_power_state() is called and it changes the device power
  state to D0.  *However*, it should also call pci_restore_bars() to
  reinitialize the device, but it doesn't, because the device's
  current_state field has been modified earlier.

To prevent this from happening, modify pci_platform_power_transition()
so that it doesn't use pci_update_current_state() to update the
current_state field for devices that aren't power-manageable by the
platform.  Instead, this field should be updated directly for devices
that don't support the native PCI PM.

      futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data · 64d1304a
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast()
even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The
eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the
VMA with mmap_sem held.

After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the
futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex:
clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the
futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not
fixed up.

Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the
mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which
modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way
and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on
the futex op.

      mfd: Keep a cache of WM8350 volatile values · b126d113
      Mark Brown authored 
      Due to the way that the WM8350 audio driver handles CODEC_ENA many of
the WM8350 audio registers are marked as volatile when they aren't
actually so. Allow the audio driver to see a cache of these values for
inspection during interrupt context.

To do this we need to stop satisfying any bits from volatile registers
from cache - there's no real benefit from doing so anyway, we did the
read already.
