This patch fixes a memory leak in zsmalloc where the first subpage of each zspage is leaked when the zspage is freed.

I already fixed the other similar for loop in this file. I'm not sure how I missed this one. We use seg_no+1 inside the loop so we can't go right up to the end of the loop. Also if we don't break out of the loop then we end up past the end of the array, but with this fix we end up on the last element.

rtsx_transport.c (rtsx_transfer_sglist_adma_partial): pointer struct scatterlist *sg, which is mapped in dma_map_sg, is used as an iterator in later transfer operation. It is corrupted and passed to dma_unmap_sg, thus causing fatal unmap of some erroneous address. Fix it by duplicating *sg_ptr for iterating.

If, in drivers/staging/media/as102/as102_fw.c::as102_fw_upload(), the call cmd_buf = kzalloc(MAX_FW_PKT_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL); should fail and return NULL so that we jump to the 'error:' label, then we'll end up calling 'release_firmware(firmware);' with 'firmware' still uninitialized - not good. The easy fix is to just initialize 'firmware' to NULL when we declare it, since release_firmware() deals gracefully with being passed NULL pointers.

The just-merged ramster staging driver was dependent on a cleanup patch in cleancache, so was marked CONFIG_BROKEN until that patch could be merged. That cleancache patch is now merged (and the correct SHA of the cleancache patch is 3167760f rather than the one shown in the comment removed in the patch below). So remove the CONFIG_BROKEN now and the comment that is no longer true... Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Avoid freeing a registered tpg structure if an alloc_workqueue call fails.

Mark Rustad authored
Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout cases, because calling that function in that context would free memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing. This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde. 15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen. 16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (47 commits) net: fix a race in sock_queue_err_skb() netlink: fix races after skb queueing doc, net: Update ndo_start_xmit return type and values doc, net: Remove instruction to set net_device::trans_start doc, net: Update netdev operation names doc, net: Update documentation of synchronisation for TX multiqueue doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock MAINTAINERS: update for Marvell Ethernet drivers bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link up phonet: Check input from user before allocating tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once ipv6: fix array index in ip6_mc_add_src() mlx4: allocate just enough pages instead of always 4 pages stmmac: re-add IFF_UNICAST_FLT for dwmac1000 bnx2x: Clear MDC/MDIO warning message bnx2x: Fix BCM57711+BCM84823 link issue bnx2x: Clear BCM84833 LED after fan failure bnx2x: Fix BCM84833 PHY FW version presentation bnx2x: Fix link issue for BCM8727 boards. ...

Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here, passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

That function calls mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt. The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant of the fake IOAPIC entries. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
