54a40b2cf4 libata: add a host flag to ignore detected ATA devices
commit db63a4c811 upstream.

Where devices are visible via more than one host we sometimes wish to
indicate that cirtain devices should be ignored on a specific host.  Add a
host flag indicating that this host wishes to ignore ATA specific devices.

9abcb7517f fuse: fix stat call on 32 bit platforms
commit 45c72cd73c upstream.

Now we store attr->ino at inode->i_ino, return attr->ino at the
first time and then return inode->i_ino if the attribute timeout
isn't expired. That's wrong on 32 bit platforms because attr->ino
is 64 bit and inode->i_ino is 32 bit in this case.

Fix this by saving 64 bit ino in fuse_inode structure and returning
it every time we call getattr. Also squash attr->ino into inode->i_ino
explicitly.

d5b9a38383 drm/i915: Mark the ringbuffers as being in the GTT domain
commit 3eef8918ff upstream.

By correctly describing the rinbuffers as being in the GTT domain, it
appears that we are more careful with the management of the CPU cache
upon resume and so prevent some coherency issue when submitting commands
to the GPU later. A secondary effect is that the debug logs are then
consistent with the actual usage (i.e. they no longer describe the
ringbuffers as being in the CPU write domain when we are accessing them
through an wc iomapping.)

c1e23cbad3 drm/radeon: fix tiling and command stream checking on evergreen v3
commit d26098759c upstream.

Fix regresson since the introduction of command stream checking on
evergreen (thread referenced below). Issue is cause by ddx allocating
bo with formula width*height*bpp while programming the GPU command
stream with ALIGN(height, 8). In some case (where page alignment does
not hide the extra size bo should be according to height alignment)
the kernel will reject the command stream.

This patch reprogram the command stream to slice - 1 (slice is
a derivative value from height) which avoid rejecting the command
stream while keeping the value of command stream checking from a
security point of view.

This patch also fix wrong computation of layer size for 2D tiled
surface. Which should fix issue when 2D color tiling is enabled.
This dump the radeon KMS_DRIVER_MINOR so userspace can know if
they are on a fixed kernel or not.

v3: do compute the height the ddx was trying to use

8997b2223b sched: Fix the relax_domain_level boot parameter
commit a841f8cef4 upstream.

It does not get processed because sched_domain_level_max is 0 at the
time that setup_relax_domain_level() is run.

Simply accept the value as it is, as we don't know the value of
sched_domain_level_max until sched domain construction is completed.

Fix sched_relax_domain_level in cpuset.  The build_sched_domain() routine calls
the set_domain_attribute() routine prior to setting the sd->level, however,
the set_domain_attribute() routine relies on the sd->level to decide whether
idle load balancing will be off/on.

d8bf1e7c76 can: c_can: fix race condition in c_can_open()
commit f461f27a44 upstream.

Fix the issue of C_CAN interrupts getting disabled forever when canconfig
utility is used multiple times. According to NAPI usage we disable all
the hardware interrupts in ISR and re-enable them in poll(). Current
implementation calls napi_enable() after hardware interrupts are enabled.
If we get any interrupts between these two steps then we do not process
those interrupts because napi is not enabled. Mostly these interrupts
come because of STATUS is not 0x7 or ERROR interrupts. If napi_enable()
happens before HW interrupts enabled then c_can_poll() function will be
called eventual re-enabling.

This patch moves the napi_enable() call before interrupts enabled.

8414ac8c1e can: c_can: fix an interrupt thrash issue with c_can driver
commit 148c87c89e upstream.

This patch fixes an interrupt thrash issue with c_can driver.

In c_can_isr() function interrupts are disabled and enabled only in
c_can_poll() function. c_can_isr() & c_can_poll() both read the
irqstatus flag. However, irqstatus is always read as 0 in c_can_poll()
because all C_CAN interrupts are disabled in c_can_isr(). This causes
all interrupts to be re-enabled in c_can_poll() which in turn causes
another interrupt since the event is not really handled. This keeps
happening causing a flood of interrupts.

To fix this, read the irqstatus register in isr and use the same cached
value in the poll function.

f939c6c260 can: c_can: fix "BUG! echo_skb is occupied!" during transmit
commit 617caccebe upstream.

This patch fixes an issue with transmit routine, which causes
"can_put_echo_skb: BUG! echo_skb is occupied!" message when
using "cansequence -p" on D_CAN controller.

In c_can driver, while transmitting packets tx_echo flag holds
the no of can frames put for transmission into the hardware.

As the comment above c_can_do_tx() indicates, if we find any packet
which is not transmitted then we should stop looking for more.
In the current implementation this is not taken care of causing the
said message.

Also, fix the condition used to find if the packet is transmitted
or not. Current code skips the first tx message object and ends up
checking one extra invalid object.

While at it, fix the comment on top of c_can_do_tx() to use the
terminology "packet" instead of "package" since it is more
standard.

structs so they don't run after the interface has been
removed or even destroyed.

It's also possible in this case that an off-channel SKB
was never transmitted, so free it if this is the case.
Note that this can also happen if the driver finishes
the off-channel period without ever starting it.

5ca732f567 iwlwifi: don't mess up the SCD when removing a key
commit d6ee27eb13 upstream.

When we remove a key, we put a key index which was supposed
to tell the fw that we are actually removing the key. But
instead the fw took that index as a valid index and messed
up the SRAM of the device.

This memory corruption on the device mangled the data of
the SCD. The impact on the user is that SCD queue 2 got
stuck after having removed keys.
The message is the log that was printed is:

Queue 2 stuck for 10000ms

This doesn't seem to fix the higher queues that get stuck
from time to time.

e82c95f9f0 drm/ttm: Fix buffer object metadata accounting regression v2
commit a393c730ab upstream.

A regression was introduced in the 3.3 rc series, commit
"drm/ttm: simplify memory accounting for ttm user v2",
causing the metadata of buffer objects created using the ttm_bo_create()
function to be accounted twice.
That causes massive leaks with the vmwgfx driver running for example
SpecViewperf Catia-03 test 2, eventually killing the app.

Furthermore, the same commit introduces a regression where
metadata accounting is leaked if a buffer object is
initialized with an illegal size. This is also fixed with this commit.

commit 121daad8fd upstream.

Data valid gets cleared by reading the ISR (status register) and NOT from
reading ODATA (data register). A new data word can become available between
checking ISR and reading ODATA, causing us to reuse the same data word next
time atmel_trng_read() gets called, if that happens before the following
data word is ready.

With this fixed, rngtest no longer complains of 'Continous run' errors.

commit d5d2d2eea8 upstream.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.

But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

c573b3798f ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bg
commit b0dd6b70f0 upstream.

Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system
features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times.
These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and
block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout).
Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an
uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number
of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that
the file system was corrupt:

EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd

This problem can be reproduced via:

    mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g
    mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt
    fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test

The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a
particular metadata block was part of the block group.

which introduced this bug (commit fd034a84e1, present since v3.2).

commit ae82fdb140 upstream.

Commit 026cee0086 "params:
<level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module
parameters to level 0.  And we call those level 0 calls where we used
to, early in start_kernel().

We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall.  Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.

(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).

Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls.

e6e70e4c7e powerpc: Fix kernel panic during kernel module load
commit 3c75296562 upstream.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading
a kernel module.

According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned
the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame.
In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call()
(in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used
to generate trampoline code.

This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler
chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the
module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the
.text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for
functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper.
Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame
using r11 can cause an oops.

The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the
trampoline code.  According to the statements from Freescale, this is
safe from an EABI perspective.

I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

e6a6c7d2e5 powerpc/time: Sanity check of decrementer expiration is necessary
commit 860aed25a1 upstream.

This reverts 68568add2c ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check
of decrementer expiration").  We do need to check whether we have reached
the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early
decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in
arch_irq_work_raise().  The effect of not having the sanity check is that
if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to
its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer
interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase
frequency).  I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray
hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest.

This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding
code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

5a32293d5c btree: fix tree corruption in btree_get_prev()
commit cbf8ae32f6 upstream.

The memory the parameter __key points to is used as an iterator in
btree_get_prev(), so if we save off a bkey() pointer in retry_key and
then assign that to __key, we'll end up corrupting the btree internals
when we do eg

	longcpy(__key, bkey(geo, node, i), geo->keylen);

to return the key value.  What we should do instead is use longcpy() to
copy the key value that retry_key points to __key.

This can cause a btree to get corrupted by seemingly read-only
operations such as btree_for_each_safe.

ee9c8a0466 wl1251: fix oops on early interrupt
commit f380f2c4a1 upstream.

This driver disables interrupt just after requesting it and enables it
later, after interface is up. However currently there is a time window
between request_irq() and disable_irq() where if interrupt arrives, the
driver oopses because it's not yet ready to process it. This can be
reproduced by inserting the module, associating and removing the module
multiple times.

Eliminate this race by setting IRQF_NOAUTOEN flag before request_irq().

584b886aee md: raid1/raid10: fix problem with merge_bvec_fn
commit aba336bd1d upstream.

The new merge_bvec_fn which calls the corresponding function
in subsidiary devices requires that mddev->merge_check_needed
be set if any child has a merge_bvec_fn.

However were were only setting that when a device was hot-added,
not when a device was present from the start.

This bug was introduced in 3.4 so patch is suitable for 3.4.y
kernels.  However that are conflicts in raid10.c so a separate
patch will be needed for 3.4.y.

cf9ab4c62b vfs: Fix /proc/<tid>/fdinfo/<fd> file handling
commit 0640113be2 upstream.

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit
30a08bf2d3 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into
tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right.

The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd
symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the
permission model for those are different.

So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making
the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are.

Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the
symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be
the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'.  That would have avoided this issue too, but
since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the
reason for that original commit 30a08bf2d3 in the first place), people
do apparently use this feature.

[ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo"
  replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or
  writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink.  So the feature
  does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably
  shouldn't have done it to begin with. ]
