      vfs: dcache: fix deadlock in tree traversal · 8110e16d
      Miklos Szeredi authored
      IBM reported a deadlock in select_parent().  This was found to be caused
      by taking rename_lock when already locked when restarting the tree
      traversal.
      
      There are two cases when the traversal needs to be restarted:
      
       1) concurrent d_move(); this can only happen when not already locked,
          since taking rename_lock protects against concurrent d_move().
      
       2) racing with final d_put() on child just at the moment of ascending
          to parent; rename_lock doesn't protect against this rare race, so it
          can happen when already locked.
      
      Because of case 2, we need to be able to handle restarting the traversal
      when rename_lock is already held.  This patch fixes all three callers of
      try_to_ascend().
      
      IBM reported that the deadlock is gone with this patch.
      
      [ I rewrote the patch to be smaller and just do the "goto again" if the
        lock was already held, but credit goes to Miklos for the real work.

        the -stable trees before I was reminded (again) that this fix needed

        The host controller bugfix was reported in older kernels as being

        customers.
      
        Both have been in the usb-next branch in the -next tree for a while

      inetpeer: fix token initialization · bc9259a8
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      When jiffies wraps around (for example, 5 minutes after the boot, see
      INITIAL_JIFFIES) and peer has just been created, now - peer->rate_last can be
      < XRLIM_BURST_FACTOR * timeout, so token is not set to the maximum value, thus
      some icmp packets can be unexpectedly dropped.

      qlcnic: Fix scheduling while atomic bug · 68b3f28c
      Narendra K authored
      In the device close path, 'qlcnic_fw_destroy_ctx' and
      'qlcnic_poll_rsp' call msleep. But  'qlcnic_fw_destroy_ctx' and
      'qlcnic_poll_rsp' are called with 'adapter->tx_clean_lock' spin lock
      held resulting in scheduling while atomic bug causing the following
      trace.
      
      I observed that the commit 012dc19a
      from John Fastabend addresses a similar issue in ixgbevf driver.
      Adopting the same approach used in the commit, this patch uses mdelay
      to address the issue.

      smsc75xx: fix resume after device reset · a3cff128
      Steve Glendinning authored
      On some systems this device fails to properly resume after suspend,
      this patch fixes it by running the usbnet_resume handler.
      
      I suspect this also fixes this bug:

      um: Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h · 9429ec96
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to
      create definitions for UM_KERN_<LEVEL> that match the in-kernel
      KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions.
      
      As of commit 04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert
      the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_<LEVEL> is no
      longer expanded to the literal '"<LEVEL>"', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e.
      it contains two parts.
      
      However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in
      arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't
      support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all
      UM_KERN_<LEVEL> definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual
      definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in
      include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get
      
          #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */
      
      instead of
      
          #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */
      
      This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages:
      
          Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840)
          pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
          Mount-cache hash table entries: 256
          ^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes
          ^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround
          ^AUsing 2.6 host AIO
          NET: Registered protocol family 16
          bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0
          Switching to clocksource itimer
      
      To fix this:
        - Move the mapping from UM_KERN_<LEVEL> to KERN_<LEVEL> from
          arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to
          arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace
          parts,
        - Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to
          obtain the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. This doesn't
          violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h
          is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals.
        - Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.

      ====================
      If time allows, I'd appreciate if you can take the following fix
      for the xt_limit match.
      
      As Jan indicates, random things may occur while using the xt_limit
      match due to use of uninitialized memory.

      USB: Fix race condition when removing host controllers · 0d00dc26
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1607) fixes a race that can occur if a USB host
      controller is removed while a process is reading the
      /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file.
      
      The usb_device_read() routine uses the bus->root_hub pointer to
      determine whether or not the root hub is registered.  The is not a
      valid test, because the pointer is set before the root hub gets
      registered and remains set even after the root hub is unregistered and
      deallocated.  As a result, usb_device_read() or usb_device_dump() can
      access freed memory, causing an oops.
      
      The patch changes the test to use the hcd->rh_registered flag, which
      does get set and cleared at the appropriate times.  It also makes sure
      to hold the usb_bus_list_lock mutex while setting the flag, so that
      usb_device_read() will become aware of new root hubs as soon as they
      are registered.
