Use only statically allocated data for PHY config packet transmission. With the previous incarnation, some data wouldn't be freed if the packet transmit callback was never called. A theoretical drawback now is that, in PCs with more than one card, card A may complete() for a waiter on card B. But this is highly unlikely and its impact not serious. Bus manager B may reset bus B before the PHY config went out, but the next phy config on B should be fine. However, with a timeout of 100ms, this situation is close to impossible.

Isochronous reception in dualbuffer mode is reportedly broken with TI TSB43AB22A on x86-64. Descriptor addresses above 2G have been determined as the trigger: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435550 Two fixes are possible: - pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pdev, DMA_31BIT_MASK); at least when IR descriptors are allocated, or - simply don't use dualbuffer. This fix implements the latter workaround. But we keep using dualbuffer on x86-32 which won't give us highmen (and thus physical addresses outside the 31bit range) in coherent DMA memory allocations. Right now we could for example also whitelist PPC32, but DMA mapping implementation details are expected to change there.

There will be 4 padding bytes in struct fw_cdev_event_response on some platforms The member:__u32 data will point to these padding bytes. While queue the response and data in complete_transaction in fw-cdev.c, it will queue like this: |response(excluding padding bytes)|4 padding bytes|4 padding bytes|data. It queue 4 extra bytes. That is to say it use "&response + sizeof(response)" while other place of kernel and userspace library use "&response + offsetof (typeof(response), data)". So it will lost the last 4 bytes of data. This patch can fix it while not changing the struct definition. Signed-off-by: JiSheng Zhang <jszhang3@mail.ustc.edu.cn> This fixes responses to outbound block read requests on 64bit architectures.

After card->done and card->work are completed, any remaining pending request would be a bug. We cannot safely complete a transaction at that point anymore. IOW card users must not drop their last fw_card reference (usually indirect references through fw_device references) before their last outbound transaction through that card was finished.

In theory, card->flush_timer could already access a transaction between fw_send_request()'s spin_unlock_irqrestore and the rest of what happens in fw_send_request(). This would happen if the process which sends the request is preempted and put to sleep right after spin_unlock_irqrestore for longer than 100ms. Therefore we fill in everything in struct fw_transaction at which the flush_timer might look at before we lift the lock. To do: Ensure that the timer does not pick up the transaction before the time of the AT request event plus split transaction timeout. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Reported by Jay Fenlason: A bus reset tasklet may call fw_flush_transactions and touch transactions (call their callback which will free them) while the context which submitted the transaction is still inserting it into the transmission queue. A simple solution to this problem is to _not_ "flush" the transactions because of a bus reset (complete the transcations as 'cancelled'). They will now simply time out (completed as 'cancelled' by the split-timeout timer). Jay Fenlason thought of this fix too but I was quicker to type it out. :-) Background: Contexts which access an instance of struct fw_transaction are: 1. the submitter, until it inserted the packet which is embedded in the transaction into the AT req DMA, 2. the AsReqTrContext tasklet when the request packet was acked by the responder node or transmission to the responder failed, 3. the AsRspRcvContext tasklet when it found a request which matched an incoming response, 4. the card->flush_timer when it picks up timed-out transactions to cancel them, 5. the bus reset tasklet when it cancels transactions (this access is eliminated by this patch), 6. a process which shuts down an fw_card (unregisters it from fw-core when the controller is unbound from fw-ohci) --- although in this case there shouldn't really be any transactions anymore because we wait until all card users finished their business with the card. All of these contexts run concurrently (except for the 6th, presumably). The 1st is safe against the 2nd and 3rd because of the way how a request packet is carefully submitted to the hardware. A race between 2nd and 3rd has been fixed a while ago (bug 9617). The 4th is almost safe against 1st, 2nd, 3rd; there are issues with it if huge scheduling latencies occur, to be fixed separately. The 5th looks safe against 2nd, 3rd, and 4th but is unsafe against 1st. Maybe this could be fixed with an explicit state variable in struct fw_transaction. But this would require fw_transaction to be rewritten as only dynamically allocatable object with reference counting --- not a good solution if we also can simply kill this 5th accessing context (replace it by the 4th).

Contrary to a comment in the source, request->ack of a broadcast write request can be ACK_PENDING. Hence the existing check is insufficient. Debug dmesg before: AR spd 0 tl 00, ffc0 -> ffff, ack_pending , QW req, fffff0000234 = ffffffff AT spd 0 tl 00, ffff -> ffc0, ack_complete, W resp And the requesting node (linux1394) reports an unsolicited response.

This is a functionally equivalent replacement of the current reference counting of struct fw_card instances. It only converts it to common idioms as suggested by Kristian Høgsberg: - struct kref replaces atomic_t as the counter. - wait_for_completion is used to wait for all card users to complete. BTW, it may make sense to count card->flush_timer and card->work as card users too. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Dmitry Adamushko authored
Commit f18f982a ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as described below: Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE, update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map) does the following: /* * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated. */ The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only for !CPUSETS case. With f18f982a, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to CPUSETS code: cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() -> rebuild_sched_domains() Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress. __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already "offline" when this function is called). try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU -> the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later -> oops.

The current definition of wksidarr works fine on little endian arches (since cpu_to_le32 is a no-op there), but on big-endian arches, it fails to compile with this error: error: braced-group within expression allowed only inside a function The problem is that this static declaration has cpu_to_le32 embedded within it, and that expands into a function macro. We need to use __constant_cpu_to_le32() instead.

Try this: mount a share with unix extensions create a file on it umount the share You'll get the following message in the ring buffer: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day... ...the problem is that cifs_get_inode_info_unix is creating and hashing a new inode even when it's going to return error anyway. The first lookup when creating a file returns an error so we end up leaking this inode before we do the actual create. This appears to be a regression caused by commit 0e4bbde9.

Cortland Setlow pointed out a bug in ov7670.c where the result from ov7670_read() was just being checked for !0, rather than <0. This made me realize that ov7670_read's semantics were rather confusing; it both fills in 'value' with the result, and returns it. This is goes against general kernel convention; so rather than fixing callers, let's fix the function. This makes ov7670_read return <0 in the case of an error, and 0 upon success. Thus, code like: res = ov7670_read(...); if (!res) goto error; ..will work properly.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating the same framebuffer. Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug. It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist, I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg.

There's a fault on the FC controllers that makes them not respond correctly to MSI. The SPI controllers are fine, but are likely to be onboard on older motherboards which don't handle MSI correctly, so default both these cases to disabled. Enable by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=1. For the SAS case, enable MSI by default, but it can be disabled by setting the module parameter mpt_msi_enable=0.
