      Revert "block: Remove extra discard_alignment from hd_struct." · a1706ac4
      Jens Axboe authored
      It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from
      the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
      into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
      see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.
      
      Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
      the queue, just revert the change.
      
      This reverts commit 23ceb5b7.

      nbd: adjust 'max_part' according to part_shift · 5988ce23
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The 'max_part' parameter determines how many partitions are supported
      on each nbd device. However the actual number can be changed to the
      power of 2 minus 1 form during the module initialization as
      alloc_disk() is called with (1 << part_shift) for some reason.
      
      So adjust 'max_part' also at least for consistency with loop and brd.
      It is exported via sysfs already, and a user should check this value
      after module loading if [s]he wants to use that number correctly
      (i.e. fdisk or something).

      nbd: limit module parameters to a sane value · 3b271082
      Namhyung Kim authored
      The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
      a nbd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
      value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
      can cause a kernel oops (or, at least, produce invalid device
      nodes in some cases).
      
      In addition, specifying large 'nbds_max' value causes same
      problem for the same reason.
      
      On my desktop, following command results to the kernel bug:
      
      $ sudo modprobe nbd max_part=100000

      nbd: pass MSG_* flags to kernel_recvmsg() · 35fbf5bc
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Unlike kernel_sendmsg(), kernel_recvmsg() requires passing flags explicitly
      via last parameter instead of struct msghdr.msg_flags. Therefore calls to
      sock_xmit(lo, 0, ..., MSG_WAITALL) have not been processed properly by tcp
      layer wrt. the flag. Fix it.

      ALSA: fix hda AZX_DCAPS_NO_TCSEL quirk check in driver_caps · 46f2cc80
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 9477c58e ("ALSA: hda - Reorganize controller quriks with bit
      flags") changed the driver type compares into various quirk bits.
      However, the check for AZX_DCAPS_NO_TCSEL got reverted: instead of
      clearing TCSEL for chipsets that have that standard capability, it
      cleared then when the NO_TCSEL bit was set.
      
      This can lead to noise and repeated sounds - a weird "echo" behavior.
      As the comment just above says: "Ensuring these bits are 0 clears
      playback static on some HD Audio codecs".  Which is definitely true at
      least on my Core i5 Westmere system.
