Commit 96d60303fd (ahci: Turn off DMA engines when there's no device)
implemented stopping DMA engines on empty ports but it used single
sampling of status registers to determine device presence which led to
disabling of DMA engines on occupied ports. Do it after all EH
actions are complete using device presence state determined by EH.
This avoids spurious disabling of DMA engines and simplifies the code.

The sata_sil24 driver has six 16-bit registers that are initialised with
32-bit writes. This cause a kernel panic on ARM due to the unaligned
accesses which result.
This patch changes the accesses to the correct 16-bit ones.

JMB362 is a new variant of jmicron controller which is similar to
JMB360 but has two SATA ports instead of one. As there is no PATA
port, single function AHCI mode can be used as in JMB360. Add pci

Commit a8408c17 introduced a new check to pccard_validate_cis(),
which avoids any "late" calls to this function. This broke the
insertion of cards which require a CIS override which changes
the number of card functions. Fix this by asserting that this
is _not_ a late call, but a proper call early during the card
insertion process.

ipmr_rules_exit() and ip6mr_rules_exit() free a list of items, but
forget to properly remove these items from list. List head is not
changed and still points to freed memory.
This can trigger a fault later when icmpv6_sk_exit() is called.
Fix is to either reinit list, or use list_del() to properly remove items
from list before freeing them.

This reverts commit 962400e8fd29981a7b166e463dd143b6ac6a3e76, which was
entirely bogus.
The code used to multiply the character offset by "vc->vc_cols", and
that's actually correct, because 'd' itself is an 'unsigned short'. So
the pointer arithmetic already takes the size of a VGA character into
account. Changing it to use vc_size_row (which is just "vc_cols"
shifted up to take the size of the character into account) ends up
multiplying with the VGA character size twice.
This got reported as bugs for various other subsystems, because what it
actually results in is writing the 16-bit vc_video_erase_char pattern
(usually 0x0720: 0x07 is the default attribute, 0x20 is ASCII space)
into some random other allocation.
So Markus ended up reporting this as a ext4 bug, while to Torsten Kaiser
it looked like a problem with KMS or libata. Jeff Chua saw it in
different places.
And finally - Justin Mattock had slab poisoning enabled, and saw it as a
slab poison overwritten. And bisected and reverted this to verify the
buggy commit.

Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication
and new write to work reliably.
Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"
bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but
could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we
wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication.
This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific
phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit
2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration
mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave
the PHY in non-working state.

Move the sysfs_create_group to iwl_ucode_callback after we
have safely got the firmware.
The motivation to do this comes from a warning from lockdep which detected
that we request priv->mutex while holding s_active during a sysfs request
(show_statistics in the example copy pasted). The reverse order exists upon
request_firmware: request_firmware which is a sysfs operation
that requires s_active is run under priv->mutex.
This ensures that we don't get sysfs request before we finish to request
the firmware, avoiding this deadlock.

Cursors need to be in the GTT domain when being accessed by the GPU.
Previously this was a fortuitous byproduct of userspace using pwrite()
to upload the image data into the cursor. The redundant clflush was
removed in commit 9b8c4a and so the image was no longer being flushed
out of the caches into main memory. One could also devise a scenario
where the cursor was rendered by the GPU, prior to being attached as the
cursor, resulting in similar corruption due to the missing MI_FLUSH.

Problem: it's hard to avoid an init routine stumbling over a
request_module these days. And it's not clear it's always a bad idea:
for example, a module like kvm with dynamic dependencies on kvm-intel
or kvm-amd would be neater if it could simply request_module the right
one.
In this particular case, it's libcrc32c:
libcrc32c_mod_init
crypto_alloc_shash
crypto_alloc_tfm
crypto_find_alg
crypto_alg_mod_lookup
crypto_larval_lookup
request_module
If another module is waiting inside resolve_symbol() for libcrc32c to
finish initializing (ie. bne2 depends on libcrc32c) then it does so
holding the module lock, and our request_module() can't make progress
until that is released.
Waiting inside resolve_symbol() without the lock isn't all that hard:
we just need to pass the -EBUSY up the call chain so we can sleep
where we don't hold the lock. Error reporting is a bit trickier: we
need to copy the name of the unfinished module before releasing the
lock.
Other notes:
1) This also fixes a theoretical issue where a weak dependency would allow
symbol version mismatches to be ignored.
2) We rename use_module to ref_module to make life easier for the only
external user (the out-of-tree ksplice patches).

It disabled preempt so it was "safe", but nothing stops another module
slipping in before this module is added to the global list now we don't
hold the lock the whole time.
So we check this just after we check for duplicate modules, and just
before we put the module in the global list.
(find_symbol finds symbols in coming and going modules, too).

I think Rusty may have made the lock a bit _too_ finegrained there, and
didn't add it to some places that needed it. It looks, for example, like
PATCH 1/2 actually drops the lock in places where it's needed
("find_module()" is documented to need it, but now load_module() didn't
hold it at all when it did the find_module()).
Rather than adding a new "module_loading" list, I think we should be able
to just use the existing "modules" list, and just fix up the locking a
bit.
In fact, maybe we could just move the "look up existing module" a bit
later - optimistically assuming that the module doesn't exist, and then
just undoing the work if it turns out that we were wrong, just before
adding ourselves to the list.

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> reports that we still have some
contention over module loading which is slowing boot.
Linus also disliked a previous "drop lock and regrab" patch to fix the
bne2 "gave up waiting for init of module libcrc32c" message.
This is more ambitious: we only grab the lock where we need it.

These were placed in the header in ef665c1a06 to get the various
SYSFS/MODULE config combintations to compile.
That may have been necessary then, but it's not now. These functions
are all local to module.c.

This means a little extra work, but is more logical: we don't put
anything in sysfs until we're about to put the module into the
global list an parse its parameters.
This also gives us a logical place to put duplicate module detection
in the next patch.

Linus changed the structure, and luckily this didn't compile any more.

When adding a module that depends on another one, we used to create a
one-way list of "modules_which_use_me", so that module unloading could
see who needs a module.
It's actually quite simple to make that list go both ways: so that we
not only can see "who uses me", but also see a list of modules that are
"used by me".
In fact, we always wanted that list in "module_unload_free()": when we
unload a module, we want to also release all the other modules that are
used by that module. But because we didn't have that list, we used to
first iterate over all modules, and then iterate over each "used by me"
list of that module.
By making the list two-way, we simplify module_unload_free(), and it
allows for some trivial fixes later too.

I believe a moderate SYN flood attack can corrupt RFS flow table
(rps_sock_flow_table), making RPS/RFS much less effective.
Even in a normal situation, server handling short lived sessions suffer
from bad steering for the first data packet of a session, if another SYN
packet is received for another session.
We do following action in tcp_v4_rcv() :
sock_rps_save_rxhash(sk, skb->rxhash);
We should _not_ do this if sk is a LISTEN socket, as about each
packet received on a LISTEN socket has a different rxhash than
previous one.
-> RPS_NO_CPU markers are spread all over rps_sock_flow_table.
Also, it makes sense to protect sk->rxhash field changes with socket
lock (We currently can change it even if user thread owns the lock
and might use rxhash)
This patch moves sock_rps_save_rxhash() to a sock locked section,
and only for non LISTEN sockets.
