      HID: Fix unit exponent parsing again · ad0e669b
      Nikolai Kondrashov authored
      Revert some changes done in 77463838.
      
      Revert all changes done in hidinput_calc_abs_res as it mistakingly used
      "Unit" item exponent nibbles to affect resolution value. This wasn't
      breaking resolution calculation of relevant axes of any existing
      devices, though, as they have only one dimension to their units and thus
      1 in the corresponding nible.
      
      Revert to reading "Unit Exponent" item value as a signed integer in
      hid_parser_global to fix reading specification-complying values. This
      fixes resolution calculation of devices complying to the HID standard,
      including Huion, KYE, Waltop and UC-Logic graphics tablets which have
      their report descriptors fixed by the drivers.
      
      Explanations follow.
      
      There are two "unit exponents" in HID specification and it is important
      not to mix them. One is the global "Unit Exponent" item and another is
      nibble values in the global "Unit" item. See 6.2.2.7 Global Items.
      
      The "Unit Exponent" value is just a signed integer and is used to scale
      the integer resolution unit values, so fractions can be expressed.
      
      The nibbles of "Unit" value are used to select the unit system (nibble
      0), and presence of a particular basic unit type in the unit formula and
      its *exponent* (or power, nibbles 1-6). And yes, the latter is in two
      complement and zero means absence of the unit type.
      
      Taking the representation example of (integer) joules from the
      specification:
      
      [mass(grams)][length(centimeters)^2][time(seconds)^-2] * 10^-7
      
      the "Unit Exponent" would be -7 (or 0xF9, if stored as a byte) and the
      "Unit" value would be 0xE121, signifying:
      
      Nibble  Part        Value   Meaning
      -----   ----        -----   -------
      0       System      1       SI Linear
      1       Length      2       Centimeters^2
      2       Mass        1       Grams
      3       Time        -2      Seconds^-2
      
      To give the resolution in e.g. hundredth of joules the "Unit Exponent"
      item value should have been -9.
      
      See also the examples of "Unit" values for some common units in the same
      chapter.
      
      However, there is a common misunderstanding about the "Unit Exponent"
      value encoding, where it is assumed to be stored the same as nibbles in
      "Unit" item. This is most likely due to the specification being a bit
      vague and overloading the term "unit exponent". This also was and still
      is proliferated by the official "HID Descriptor Tool", which makes this
      mistake and stores "Unit Exponent" as such. This format is also
      mentioned in books such as "USB Complete" and in Microsoft's hardware
      design guides.
      
      As a result many devices currently on the market use this encoding and
      so the driver should support them.

      usb: usb_phy_gen: refine conditional declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register · 94468783
      Guenter Roeck authored
      Commit 3fa4d734 (usb: phy: rename nop_usb_xceiv => usb_phy_gen_xceiv)
      changed the conditional around the declaration of usb_nop_xceiv_register
      from
      	#if defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV) ||
      		(defined(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV_MODULE) && defined(MODULE))
      to
      	#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV)
      
      While that looks the same, it is semantically different. The first expression
      is true if CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV is built as module and if the including
      code is built as module. The second expression is true if code depending on
      CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV if built as module or into the kernel.
      
      As a result, the arm:allmodconfig build fails with
      
      arch/arm/mach-omap2/built-in.o: In function `omap3_evm_init':

      ATA / ACPI: remove power dependent device handling · b08fc109
      Aaron Lu authored
      Previously, we wanted SCSI devices corrsponding to ATA devices to
      be runtime resumed when the power resource for those ATA device was
      turned on by some other device, so we added the SCSI device to the
      dependent device list of the ATA device's ACPI node.  However, this
      code has no effect after commit 41863fce (ACPI / power: Drop automaitc
      resume of power resource dependent devices) and the mechanism it was
      supposed to implement is regarded as a bad idea now, so drop it.

      The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(), pte_alloc_map()
      ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and seldom do they
      need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if appropriate by
      the subsequent do_munmap().  Whereas commit 1ecfd533 did an
      unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
      by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.

      mm: fix BUG in __split_huge_page_pmd · 750e8165
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Occasionally we hit the BUG_ON(pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) at the end of
      __split_huge_page_pmd(): seen when doing madvise(,,MADV_DONTNEED).
      
      It's invalid: we don't always have down_write of mmap_sem there: a racing
      do_huge_pmd_wp_page() might have copied-on-write to another huge page
      before our split_huge_page() got the anon_vma lock.
      
      Forget the BUG_ON, just go back and try again if this happens.

      swap: fix set_blocksize race during swapon/swapoff · 5b808a23
      Krzysztof Kozlowski authored
      Fix race between swapoff and swapon.  Swapoff used old_block_size from
      swap_info outside of swapon_mutex so it could be overwritten by
      concurrent swapon.
      
      The race has visible effect only if more than one swap block device
      exists with different block sizes (e.g.  /dev/sda1 with block size 4096
      and /dev/sdb1 with 512).  In such case it leads to setting the blocksize
      of swapped off device with wrong blocksize.
      
      The bug can be triggered with multiple concurrent swapoff and swapon:
      0. Swap for some device is on.
      1. swapoff:
      First the swapoff is called on this device and "struct swap_info_struct
      *p" is assigned. This is done under swap_lock however this lock is
      released for the call try_to_unuse().
      
      2. swapon:
      After the assignment above (and before acquiring swapon_mutex &
      swap_lock by swapoff) the swapon is called on the same device.
      The p->old_block_size is assigned to the value of block_size the device.
      This block size should be the same as previous but sometimes it is not.
      The swapon ends successfully.
      
      3. swapoff:
      Swapoff resumes, grabs the locks and mutex and continues to disable this
      swap device. Now it sets the block size to value taken from swap_info
      which was overwritten by swapon in 2.

      procfs: call default get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures · fad1a86e
      HATAYAMA Daisuke authored
      Commit c4fe2448 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
      proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
      proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
      get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file,
      which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.
      
      To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
      current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
      pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e.  the one in actual file
      operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

      procfs: fix unintended truncation of returned mapped address · 2cbe3b0a
      HATAYAMA Daisuke authored
      Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the
      mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in
      pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64.  This
      is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on
      x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes.
      To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.
      
      Fixes a regression added in commit c4fe2448 ("sparc: fix PCI device
      proc file mmap(2)").

      writeback: fix negative bdi max pause · e3b6c655
      Fengguang Wu authored
      Toralf runs trinity on UML/i386.  After some time it hangs and the last
      message line is
      
      	BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [trinity-child0:1521]
      
      It's found that pages_dirtied becomes very large.  More than 1000000000
      pages in this case:
      
      	period = HZ * pages_dirtied / task_ratelimit;
      	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 2000000000);
      	BUG_ON(pages_dirtied > 1000000000);      <---------
      
      UML debug printf shows that we got negative pause here:
      
      	ick: pause : -984
      	ick: pages_dirtied : 0
      	ick: task_ratelimit: 0
      
      	 pause:
      	+       if (pause < 0)  {
      	+               extern int printf(char *, ...);
      	+               printf("ick : pause : %li\n", pause);
      	+               printf("ick: pages_dirtied : %lu\n", pages_dirtied);
      	+               printf("ick: task_ratelimit: %lu\n", task_ratelimit);
      	+               BUG_ON(1);
      	+       }
      	        trace_balance_dirty_pages(bdi,
      
      Since pause is bounded by [min_pause, max_pause] where min_pause is also
      bounded by max_pause.  It's suspected and demonstrated that the
      max_pause calculation goes wrong:
      
      	ick: pause : -717
      	ick: min_pause : -177
      	ick: max_pause : -717
      	ick: pages_dirtied : 14
      	ick: task_ratelimit: 0
      
      The problem lies in the two "long = unsigned long" assignments in
      bdi_max_pause() which might go negative if the highest bit is 1, and the
      min_t(long, ...) check failed to protect it falling under 0.  Fix all of
      them by using "unsigned long" throughout the function.

      fs: buffer: move allocation failure loop into the allocator · 84235de3
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Buffer allocation has a very crude indefinite loop around waking the
      flusher threads and performing global NOFS direct reclaim because it can
      not handle allocation failures.
      
      The most immediate problem with this is that the allocation may fail due
      to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
      any progress towards resolving the situation at all.  Because unlike the
      global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
      anonymous pages but no swap.  This situation will lead to a reclaim
      livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
      filesystem cache in a tight loop.
      
      Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now.  This makes sure that
      any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
      orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly.  It also
      allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
      and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
      make progress.
