2012-12-05HID: i2c-hid: fix i2c_hid_dbg macroBenjamin Tissoires
This avoids the problematic case: if (condition) i2c_hid_dbg(ihid, "Blah blah %d\n", i); else do_something_very_important(); Which looks correct, however with the previous macro definition, this expands to the unexpected: if (condition) { if (debug) \ dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, &ihid->client->dev, "Blah blah %d\n", i); else do_something_very_important(); } Signed-off-by: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2012-12-05mac80211: introduce IEEE80211_HW_TEARDOWN_AGGR_ON_BAR_FAILStanislaw Gruszka
Commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98 "mac80211: retry sending failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr" caused regression on rt2x00 hardware (connection hangs). This regression was fixed by commit be03d4a45c09ee5100d3aaaedd087f19bc20d01 "rt2x00: Don't let mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails". But the latter commit caused yet another problem reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42828#c22 After long discussion in this thread: http://mid.gmane.org/20121018075615.GA18212@redhat.com and testing various alternative solutions, which failed on one or other setup, we have no other good fix for the issues like just revert both mentioned earlier commits. To do not affect other hardware which benefit from commit f0425beda4d404a6e751439b562100b902ba9c98, instead of reverting it, introduce flag that when used will restore mac80211 behaviour before the commit.

Don't use enum-type bitfields in the module signature info block as we can't be certain how the compiler will handle them. As I understand it, it is arch dependent, and it is possible for the compiler to rearrange them based on endianness and to insert a byte of padding to pad the three enums out to four bytes. Instead use u8 fields for these, which the compiler should emit in the right order without padding.

* pci/huang-d3cold-fixes: PCI/PM: Keep runtime PM enabled for unbound PCI devices
2012-12-04PCI/PM: Keep runtime PM enabled for unbound PCI devicesHuang Ying
For unbound PCI devices, what we need is: - Always in D0 state, because some devices do not work again after being put into D3 by the PCI bus. - In SUSPENDED state if allowed, so that the parent devices can still be put into low power state. To satisfy these requirements, the runtime PM for the unbound PCI devices are disabled and set to SUSPENDED state. One issue of this solution is that the PCI devices will be put into SUSPENDED state even if the SUSPENDED state is forbidden via the sysfs interface (.../power/control) of the device. This is not an issue for most devices, because most PCI devices are not used at all if unbound. But there are exceptions. For example, unbound VGA card can be used for display, but suspending its parents makes it stop working. To fix the issue, we keep the runtime PM enabled when the PCI devices are unbound. But the runtime PM callbacks will do nothing if the PCI devices are unbound. This way, we can put the PCI devices into SUSPENDED state without putting the PCI devices into D3 state.

Norbert reported: "3.7-rc6 booted with nmi_watchdog=0 fails to suspend to RAM or offline CPUs. It's reproducable with a KVM guest and physical system." The reason is that commit bcd951cf(watchdog: Use hotplug thread infrastructure) missed to take this into account. So the cpu offline code gets stuck in the teardown function because it accesses non initialized data structures. Add a check for watchdog_enabled into that path to cure the issue.

2012-12-04net: dev_change_net_namespace: send a KOBJ_REMOVED/KOBJ_ADDSerge Hallyn
When a new nic is created in namespace ns1, the kernel sends a KOBJ_ADD uevent to ns1. When the nic is moved to ns2, we only send a KOBJ_MOVE to ns2, and nothing to ns1. This patch changes that behavior so that when moving a nic from ns1 to ns2, we send a KOBJ_REMOVED to ns1 and KOBJ_ADD to ns2. (The KOBJ_MOVE is still sent to ns2). The effects of this can be seen when starting and stopping containers in an upstart based host. Lxc will create a pair of veth nics, the kernel sends KOBJ_ADD, and upstart starts network-instance jobs for each. When one nic is moved to the container, because no KOBJ_REMOVED event is received, the network-instance job for that veth never goes away. This was reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1065589 With this patch the networ-instance jobs properly go away. The other oddness solved here is that if a nic is passed into a running upstart-based container, without this patch no network-instance job is started in the container. But when the container creates a new nic itself (ip link add new type veth) then network-interface jobs are created. With this patch, behavior comes in line with a regular host. v2: also send KOBJ_ADD to new netns. There will then be a _MOVE event from the device_rename() call, but that should be innocuous.

Unfortunately, megaraid was being overly ingenious. It seemingly wanted to use cancel_delayed_work_sync() before cancel_work_sync() was introduced, but didn't want to waste the space for full delayed_work as it was only going to use 0 @delay. So, it only allocated space for struct work_struct and then cast it to struct delayed_work and passed it into delayed_work functions - truly awesome engineering tradeoff to save some bytes. Xiaotian fixed it by making megraid allocate full delayed_work for now. It should be converted to use work_struct and cancel_work_sync() but I think we better do that after 3.7.

2012-12-04vfs: avoid "attempt to access beyond end of device" warningsLinus Torvalds
The block device access simplification that avoided accessing the (racy) block size information (commit bbec0270bdd8: "blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c") no longer checks the maximum block size in the block mapping path. That was _almost_ as simple as just removing the code entirely, because the readers and writers all check the size of the device anyway, so under normal circumstances it "just worked". However, the block size may be such that the end of the device may straddle one single buffer_head. At which point we may still want to access the end of the device, but the buffer we use to access it partially extends past the end. The 'bd_set_size()' function intentionally sets the block size to avoid this, but mounting the device - or setting the block size by hand to some other value - can modify that block size. So instead, teach 'submit_bh()' about the special case of the buffer head straddling the end of the device, and turning such an access into a smaller IO access, avoiding the problem. This, btw, also means that unlike before, we can now access the whole device regardless of device block size setting. So now, even if the device size is only 512-byte aligned, we can read and write even the last sector even when having a much bigger block size for accessing the rest of the device. So with this, we could now get rid of the 'bd_set_size()' block size code entirely - resulting in faster IO for the common case - but that would be a separate patch.

2012-12-04workqueue: convert BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()sTejun Heo
8852aac25e ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay") unexpectedly uncovered a very nasty abuse of delayed_work in megaraid - it allocated work_struct, casted it to delayed_work and then pass that into queue_delayed_work(). Previously, this was okay because 0 @delay short-circuited to queue_work() before doing anything with delayed_work. 8852aac25e moved 0 @delay test into __queue_delayed_work() after sanity check on delayed_work making megaraid trigger BUG_ON(). Although megaraid is already fixed by c1d390d8e6 ("megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed work"), this patch converts BUG_ON()s in __queue_delayed_work() to WARN_ON_ONCE()s so that such abusers, if there are more, trigger warning but don't crash the machine.

2012-12-04MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()David Daney
Problem: 1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism. 2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping. 3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized) invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range. 4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the huge mapping. 5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping. 6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't conflict, nothing is flushed. 7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check exception. The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct thing.

2012-12-04megaraid: fix BUG_ON() from incorrect use of delayed workXiaotian Feng
megaraid use INIT_WORK to declare a hotplug_work, but cast the hotplug_work from work_struct to delayed_work and schedule_delayed_work on it. This is very dangerous, as other part of delayed_work might be kernel memories allocated by others. With commit 8852aac ("workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay"), schedule_delayed_work() will check dwork->timer before queue_work even when @delay is 0, this causes megaraid code to hit the BUG_ON() in workqueue code. Change megaraid code to use delayed work. Signed-off-by: Xiaotian Feng <dannyfeng@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Neela Syam Kolli <megaraidlinux@lsi.com> Cc: "James E.J.
