commit 8cf9fa12 upstream. The conn->smp_chan pointer can be NULL if SMP PDUs arrive at unexpected moments. To avoid NULL pointer dereferences the code should be checking for this and disconnect if an unexpected SMP PDU arrives. This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for conn->smp_chan for all other PDUs except pairing request and security request (which are are the first PDUs to come to initialize the SMP context).

commit 40a1ef95 upstream. For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is enabled. David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can be taken to count as an ack from him. Reported-by:

commit 3e619d04 upstream. This patch (as1654) fixes a very old bug in ehci-hcd, connected with scheduling of periodic split transfers. The calculations for full/low-speed bus usage are all carried out after the correction for bit-stuffing has been applied, but the values in the max_tt_usecs array assume it hasn't been. The array should allow for allocation of up to 90% of the bus capacity, which is 900 us, not 780 us. The symptom caused by this bug is that any isochronous transfer to a full-speed device with a maxpacket size larger than about 980 bytes is always rejected with a -ENOSPC error. Signed-off-by:

commit 8a7d7cbf upstream. A scan request is split into multiple scan commands queued in scan_pending_q. Each scan command will be sent to firmware and its response is handlded one after another. If any error is detected while parsing IE in command response buffer the remaining data will be ignored and error is returned. We should check if there is any more scan commands pending in the queue before returning error. This ensures that we will call cfg80211_scan_done if this is the last scan command, or send next scan command in scan_pending_q to firmware. Signed-off-by:

commit aa7f6730 upstream. When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer() can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in cpu_online_mask. This means when balance_runtime() is run for a given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current processor. Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is not part of our rd. This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd for the given rt_rq. This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has been lent to a rt_rq in another rd. Signed-off-by:

commit f18f8ed2 upstream. To calculate the TD size for a particular TRB in an isoc TD, we need know the endpoint's max packet size. Isochronous endpoints also encode the number of additional service opportunities in their wMaxPacketSize field. The TD size calculation did not mask off those bits before using the field. This resulted in incorrect TD size information for isochronous TRBs when an URB frame buffer crossed a 64KB boundary. For example: - an isoc endpoint has 2 additional service opportunites and a max packet size of 1020 bytes - a frame transfer buffer contains 3060 bytes - one frame buffer crosses a 64KB boundary, and must be split into one 1276 byte TRB, and one 1784 byte TRB. The TD size is is the number of packets that remain to be transferred for a TD after processing all the max packet sized packets in the current TRB and all previous TRBs. For this TD, the number of packets to be transferred is (3060 / 1020), or 3. The first TRB contains 1276 bytes, which means it contains one full packet, and a 256 byte remainder. After processing all the max packet-sized packets in the first TRB, the host will have 2 packets left to transfer. The old code would calculate the TD size for the first TRB as: total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (TD length / endpoint wMaxPacketSize) total packet count - (first TRB length / endpoint wMaxPacketSize) The math should have been: total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (3060 / 1020) = 3 3 - (1276 / 1020) = 2 Since the old code didn't mask off the additional service interval bits from the wMaxPacketSize field, the math ended up as total packet count = DIV_ROUND_UP (3060 / 5116) = 1 1 - (1276 / 5116) = 1 Fix this by masking off the number of additional service opportunities in the wMaxPacketSize field. This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit 4da6e6f2 "xhci 1.0: Update TD size field format." It may not apply well to kernels older than 3.2 because of commit 29cc8897 "USB: use usb_endpoint_maxp() instead of le16_to_cpu()". Signed-off-by:

commit 760973d2 upstream. An isochronous TD is comprised of one isochronous TRB chained to zero or more normal TRBs. Only the isoc TRB has the TBC and TLBPC fields. The normal TRBs must set those fields to zeroes. The code was setting the TBC and TLBPC fields for both isoc and normal TRBs. Fix this. This should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, that contain the commit b61d378f " xhci 1.0: Set transfer burst last packet count field." Signed-off-by:

This patch corrects a buffer overflow in kernels from 3.0 to 3.4 when calling log_prefix() function from call_console_drivers(). This bug existed in previous releases but has been revealed with commit 162a7e75 (2.6.39 => 3.0) that made changes about how to allocate memory for early printk buffer (use of memblock_alloc). It disappears with commit 7ff9554b (3.4 => 3.5) that does a refactoring of printk buffer management. In log_prefix(), the access to "p[0]", "p[1]", "p[2]" or "simple_strtoul(&p[1], &endp, 10)" may cause a buffer overflow as this function is called from call_console_drivers by passing "&LOG_BUF(cur_index)" where the index must be masked to do not exceed the buffer's boundary. The trick is to prepare in call_console_drivers() a buffer with the necessary data (PRI field of syslog message) to be safely evaluated in log_prefix(). This patch can be applied to stable kernel branches 3.0.y, 3.2.y and 3.4.y. Without this patch, one can freeze a server running this loop from shell : $ export DUMMY=`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '12345AZERTYUIOPQSDFGHJKLMWXCVBNazertyuiopqsdfghjklmwxcvbn' | head -c255` $ while true do ; echo $DUMMY > /dev/kmsg ; done The "server freeze" depends on where memblock_alloc does allocate printk buffer : if the buffer overflow is inside another kernel allocation the problem may not be revealed, else the server may hangs up.

commit 712ba9e9 upstream. efi.runtime_version is erroneously being set to the value of the vendor's firmware revision instead of that of the implemented EFI specification. We can't deduce which EFI functions are available based on the revision of the vendor's firmware since the version scheme is likely to be unique to each vendor. What we really need to know is the revision of the implemented EFI specification, which is available in the EFI System Table header.

[NOTE: the regression below is found only in 3.2-3.4 stable trees, so there is no upstream commit corresponding to this patch] The recent fix for the race at disconnection of usb-audio devices (upstream commit 978520b7) triggers Oops when a device is unplugged while playing on 3.2 and 3.4 kernels. The culprit is that the shutdown flag check was wrongly added around the urb deactivation code snippet. The urb deactivation code has to be performed even after the device disconnected. Otherwise it remains undead and pokes the wild access in the end. The regression fix is simply reverting the shutdown flag check in that code.

commit b98ae272 upstream. A patch in the 3.2 kernel caused regression with hotplugging the M-Audio Fast track pro, or sound after suspend. I don't have the device so I haven't done a full analysis, but it seems userspace (both udev and pulseaudio) got confused when a card was created, immediately destroyed, and then created again. However, at least one person in the bug report (martin djfun) reports that this patch resolves the issue for him. It also leaves a message in the log: "snd-usb-audio: probe of 1-1.1:1.1 failed with error -5" which is a bit misleading. It is better than non-working audio, but maybe there's a more elegant solution? BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095315Signed-off-by:

commit c43435d7 upstream. comedi_auto_config() associates a Comedi minor device number with an auto-configured hardware device and comedi_auto_unconfig() disassociates it. Currently, these use the hardware device's private data pointer to point to some allocated storage holding the minor device number. This is a bit of a waste of the hardware device's private data pointer, preventing it from being used for something more useful by the low-level comedi device drivers. For example, it would make more sense if comedi_usb_auto_config() was passed a pointer to the struct usb_interface instead of the struct usb_device, but this cannot be done currently because the low-level comedi drivers already use the private data pointer in the struct usb_interface for something more useful. This patch stops the comedi core hijacking the hardware device's private data pointer. Instead, comedi_auto_config() stores a pointer to the hardware device's struct device in the struct comedi_device_file_info associated with the minor device number, and comedi_auto_unconfig() calls new function comedi_find_board_minor() to recover the minor device number associated with the hardware device.

commit 83e68189 upstream. Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.
