This patch (as1592) fixes an obscure problem in the usbhid driver. Under some circumstances, a control or interrupt-OUT URB can be submitted twice. This will happen if the first submission fails; the queue pointers aren't updated, so the next time the queue is restarted the same URB will be submitted again. The problem is that raw_report gets deallocated during the first submission. The second submission will then dereference and try to free an already-freed region of memory. The patch fixes the problem by setting raw_report to NULL when it is deallocated and checking for NULL before dereferencing it.

The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board. Since the destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at compile time; this was both wrong and redundant. The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

Commit a7a20d10 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain") make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async domain. However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes the global async space, not all of them). Which in turn meant that "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be parsed. And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on for mounting the root filesystem. Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd. So the root filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all. And then before they actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans(). [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken, but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d ("fix async probe regression"), so that same commit a7a20d10 had actually broken setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ] Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call into wait_for_device_probe(). Everybody who wants to wait for device probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's no reason not to do this. So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and properly waits for device probing to finish. This also removes the now unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

The VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP ioctl check wasn't added to determine_valid_ioctls(). This caused this ioctl to always return -ENOTTY. The cause for this was that for 3.5 two patch series were merged, one changing V4L2 core ioctl handling and one adding new functionality, and some of the new functionality wasn't handled by the new V4L2 core code.

sys_clk has multiple parents and selection of parent depends on sys_clk_ctrl register bit no. 23:25, with following possibilities 0XX: pll1_clk 10X: sys_synth_clk 110: pll2_clk 111: pll3_clk Out of several possibilities (h/w wise) to select same clock parent for sys_clk, current clock implementation was considering just one value. When bootloader programmed different (valid) value to select a clock parent then Linux breaks. Here, we try to include all possibilities which can lead to same clock selection thus making Linux independent of bootloader selection values.

Offlining memory may block forever, waiting for kswapd() to wake up because kswapd() does not check the event kthread->should_stop before sleeping. The proper pattern, from Documentation/memory-barriers.txt, is: --- waker --- event_indicated = 1; wake_up_process(event_daemon); --- sleeper --- for (;;) { set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE); if (event_indicated) break; schedule(); } set_current_state() may be wrapped by: prepare_to_wait(); In the kswapd() case, event_indicated is kthread->should_stop. === offlining memory (waker) === kswapd_stop() kthread_stop() kthread->should_stop = 1 wake_up_process() wait_for_completion() === kswapd_try_to_sleep (sleeper) === kswapd_try_to_sleep() prepare_to_wait() . . schedule() . . finish_wait() The schedule() needs to be protected by a test of kthread->should_stop, which is wrapped by kthread_should_stop().

Michael Kerrisk authored
As discussed in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1249726/focus=1288990, the capability introduced in 4d7e30d9 to govern EPOLLWAKEUP seems misnamed: this capability is about governing the ability to suspend the system, not using a particular API flag (EPOLLWAKEUP). We should make the name of the capability more general to encourage reuse in related cases. (Whether or not this capability should also be used to govern the use of /sys/power/wake_lock is a question that needs to be separately resolved.) This patch renames the capability to CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND. In order to ensure that the old capability name doesn't make it out into the wild, could you please apply and push up the tree to ensure that it is incorporated for the 3.5 release.

Such drivers should now use alloc_skb() for obtaining bounce buffers. (Eric Dumazet) 19) atl1c mis-managed it's link state in that it stops the queue by hand on link down. The generic networking takes care of that and this double stop locks the queue down. So simply removing the driver's queue stop call fixes the problem (Cloud Ren) 20) Fix out-of-memory due to mis-accounting in net_em packet scheduler (Eric Dumazet) 21) If DCB and SR-IOV are configured at the same time in IXGBE the chip will hang because this is not supported (Alexander Duyck) 22) A commit to stop drivers using netdev->base_addr broke the CNIC driver (Michael Chan) 23) Timeout regression in ipset caused by an attempt to fix an overflow bug (Jozsef Kadlecsik). 24) mac80211 minstrel code allocates memory using incorrect size (Thomas Huehn) 25) llcp_sock_getname() needs to check for a NULL device otherwise we OOPS (Sasha Levin) 26) mwifiex leaks memory (Bing Zhao) 27) Propagate iwlwifi fix to iwlegacy, even when we're not associated we need to monitor for stuck queues in the watchdog handler (Stanislaw Geuszka) * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (44 commits) ipvs: fix oops in ip_vs_dst_event on rmmod ipvs: fix oops on NAT reply in br_nf context ixgbevf: Fix panic when loading driver ax25: Fix missing break MAINTAINERS: reflect actual changes in IEEE 802.15.4 maintainership caif: Fix access to freed pernet memory net: cgroup: fix access the unallocated memory in netprio cgroup ixgbevf: Prevent RX/TX statistics getting reset to zero sctp: Fix list corruption resulting from freeing an association on a list net: respect GFP_DMA in __netdev_alloc_skb() e1000e: fix test for PHY being accessible on 82577/8/9 and I217 e1000e: Correct link check logic for 82571 serdes sch_sfb: Fix missing NULL check bnx2: Fix bug in bnx2_free_tx_skbs().

Pull CMA and DMA-mapping fixes from Marek Szyprowski: "Another set of minor fixups for recently merged Contiguous Memory Allocator and ARM DMA-mapping changes. Those patches fix mysterious crashes on systems with CMA and Himem enabled as well as some corner cases caused by typical off-by-one bug." * 'fixes-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping: ARM: dma-mapping: modify condition check while freeing pages mm: cma: fix condition check when setting global cma area mm: cma: don't replace lowmem pages with highmem
