      HID: wiimote: fix FF deadlock · f50f9aab
      David Herrmann authored
      The input core has an internal spinlock that is acquired during event
      injection via input_event() and friends but also held during FF callbacks.
      That means, there is no way to share a lock between event-injection and FF
      handling. Unfortunately, this is what is required for wiimote state
      tracking and what we do with state.lock and input->lock.
      
      This deadlock can be triggered when using continuous data reporting and FF
      on a wiimote device at the same time. I takes me at least 30m of
      stress-testing to trigger it but users reported considerably shorter
      times (http://bpaste.net/show/132504/) when using some gaming-console
      emulators.
      
      The real problem is that we have two copies of internal state, one in the
      wiimote objects and the other in the input device. As the input-lock is
      not supposed to be accessed from outside of input-core, we have no other
      chance than offloading FF handling into a worker. This actually works
      pretty nice and also allows to implictly merge fast rumble changes into a
      single request.
      
      Due to the 3-layered workers (rumble+queue+l2cap) this might reduce FF
      responsiveness. Initial tests were fine so lets fix the race first and if
      it turns out to be too slow we can always handle FF out-of-band and skip
      the queue-worker.

      HID: uhid: allocate static minor · 19872d20
      David Herrmann authored
      udev has this nice feature of creating "dead" /dev/<node> device-nodes if
      it finds a devnode:<node> modalias. Once the node is accessed, the kernel
      automatically loads the module that provides the node. However, this
      requires udev to know the major:minor code to use for the node. This
      feature was introduced by:
      
        commit 578454ff
        Author: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
        Date:   Thu May 20 18:07:20 2010 +0200
      
            driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading
      
      However, uhid uses dynamic minor numbers so this doesn't actually work. We
      need to load uhid to know which minor it's going to use.
      
      Hence, allocate a static minor (just like uinput does) and we're good
      to go.

      tty: disassociate_ctty() sends the extra SIGCONT · 03e12617
      Oleg Nesterov authored
      Starting from v3.10 (probably commit f91e2590: "tty: Signal
      foreground group processes in hangup") disassociate_ctty() sends SIGCONT
      if tty && on_exit.  This breaks LSB test-suite, in particular test8 in
      _exit.c and test40 in sigcon5.c.
      
      Put the "!on_exit" check back to restore the old behaviour.
      
      Review by Peter Hurley:
       "Yes, this regression was introduced by me in that commit.  The effect
        of the regression is that ptys will receive a SIGCONT when, in similar
        circumstances, ttys would not.
      
        The fact that two test vectors accidentally tripped over this
        regression suggests that some other apps may as well.
      
        Thanks for catching this"

      partitions/efi: loosen check fot pmbr size in lba · 6b02fa59
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Matt found that commit 27a7c642 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
      size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot.  The
      reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
      the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA.  While most disk
      partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
      Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
      limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
      
      Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
      or 0xFFFFFFFF.  No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
      other than these.
