This interface was originally designed wrong, confusing bit-fields and
integers, major brown paper bag going back many years...
But userspace only ever used 4 values so fix the interface for new
users and fix the implementation to deal with the 4 values userspace
has ever emitted (0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x6).

The Coverity checker spotted that we leak the storage allocated to 'name' in
int driver_add_kobj(). The leak looks legit to me - this is the code :
int driver_add_kobj(struct device_driver *drv, struct kobject *kobj,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
char *name;
int ret;
va_start(args, fmt);
name = kvasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, fmt, args);
^^^^^^^^ This dynamically allocates space...
va_end(args);
if (!name)
return -ENOMEM;
return kobject_add(kobj, &drv->p->kobj, "%s", name);
^^^^^^^^ This neglects to free the space allocated
}
Inside kobject_add() a copy of 'name' will be made and used. As far as I can
see, Coverity is correct in flagging this as a leak, but I'd like some
configmation before the patch is applied.
This should fix it.

write_err is an unsigned long used with set_bit() so should not be passed

While looping for mtd[i]s, we should stop at the mtd[i] == NULL.
This patch also removes unnecessary "if (info)" checks:
suspend/resume/shutdown ops are executed only if probe() is succeeded, so info

Fix regression in dm-crypt introduced in commit
3a7f6c990ad04e6f576a159876c602d14d6f7fef ("dm crypt: use async crypto").
If write requests need to be split into pieces, the code must not process them
in parallel because the crypto context cannot be shared. So there can be
parallel crypto operations on one part of the write, but only one write bio
can be processed at a time.
This is not optimal and the workqueue code needs to be optimized for parallel
processing, but for now it solves the problem without affecting the
performance of synchronous crypto operation (most of current dm-crypt users).

This reverts commit 3c0a654e390d00fef9d8faed758f5e1e8078adb5 and
fixes kernel bug #10245:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10245
The HP Compaq nc6120 has the same PCI sub-device ID as the nx6110, and the
SMBus is used by ACPI for thermal management on the nc6120, so Linux should
not attach a native driver to it. This means that this quirk is unsafe and
has to be removed.
I also added a comment to help developers realize that adding new IDs to this
SMBus unhiding quirk table should be done only with great care, and in
particular only after checking that ACPI is not making use of the SMBus.

The following patch allows ixp4xx-beeper to be loaded by udev
automatically when compiled as a module with kernel versions 2.4.24 and
greater.
This patch is required because 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf
("platform: prefix MODALIAS with "platform:"") changed the modalias
string to have the extra prefix.
LKG7102D7:~# udevinfo -a -p /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
looking at device '/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4':
KERNEL=="ixp4xx-beeper.4"
SUBSYSTEM=="platform"
DRIVER==""
ATTR{modalias}=="platform:ixp4xx-beeper"
udev therefore tries to modprobe platform:ixp4xx-beeper instead of
ixp4xx-beeper.
LKG7102D7:~# udevtest /sys/devices/platform/ixp4xx-beeper.4
...
import_uevent_var: import into environment: 'PHYSDEVBUS=platform'

main: run: 'socket:/org/kernel/udev/monitor'
main: run: '/sbin/modprobe --use-blacklist platform:ixp4xx-beeper'
With this patch, depmod adds an alias line (see below) to
modules.alias which allows modprobe to load the right module.

This version brings proper quote tracking across lines, and brings the
handling of comments into the same mechanism ensuring nesting is correctly
handled. It brings the usual flurry of fixes for false positives. It also
brings a number of new checks. The most contentious change will likely be
the checks for NR_CPUS as this throws some new warnings in kernel/sched.c.
Of note:
- all new quote tracking across lines
- all new comment tracking
- new more direct, less ambigious wording for some warnings
- recommends mutexes and completions over semaphores
- recommends strict_strto* over simple_strto*
- report on direct use of NR_CPUS
Andy Whitcroft (22):
Version: 0.16
string quote tracking should cross line boundaries
check spacing round -> correctly across newlines
checks for linux/ against asm/ include files should be warnings
standardise on 'required' and 'prohibited'
take the first end of condition when parsing statements
values: cope with unbalanced brackets
preprocessor #elif is not a function
preprocessor #if should not trigger trailing statement checks
test: allow us to limit output to a single error
recommend real mutexes over semaphores
asm checks should mirror those for __asm__
warn on semaphores being used in place of completions
trailing ; on control structure should ignore do {} while ();
recommend strict_strtoX over simple_strtoX
redo comment handling as a quote type
use of NR_CPUS is normally wrong
consistant spacing should only be about spaces
if brace check suppression should only apply to the top-levels
use tr/// to align spacing for operators
move to using four parameter form of substr
check and report modifications to include/asm

Current nobh_write_end() implementation ignore partial writes(copied < len)
case if page was fully mapped and simply mark page as Uptodate, which is
totally wrong because area [pos+copied, pos+len) wasn't updated explicitly in
previous write_begin call. It simply contains garbage from pagecache and
result in data leakage.

As you can see file's page contains garbage from pagecache instead of zeros.
#TEST_CASE_END
Attached patch:
- Add sanity check BUG_ON in order to prevent incorrect usage by caller,
This is function invariant because page can has buffers and in no zero
*fadata pointer at the same time.
- Always attach buffers to page is it is partial write case.
- Always switch back to generic_write_end if page has buffers.
This is reasonable because if page already has buffer then generic_write_begin
was called previously.

I believe http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10318 is a false
positive. There's no way in which networking will be using highmem pages
here, so it won't be taking the KM_USER0 kmap slot, so there's no point in
performing these checks.

Because of a typo in iwch_accept_cr(), the cxgb3 connection handling
code programs the hardware IRD (incoming RDMA read queue depth) with
the value that is passed in for the ORD (outgoing RDMA read queue
depth). In particular this means that if an application passes in IRD
> 0 and ORD = 0 (which is a completely sane and valid thing to do for
an app that expects only incoming RDMA read requests), then the
hardware will end up programmed with IRD = 0 and the app will fail in
a mysterious way.
Fix this by using "ep->ird" instead of "ep->ord" in the intended place.

Revert commit 1192aeb957402b45f311895f124e4ca41206843c ("ACPI:
drivers/acpi: elide a non-zero test on a result that is never 0")
because it turns out that thermal_cooling_device_register() does
actually return NULL if CONFIG_THERMAL is turned off (then the routine
turns into a dummy inline routine in the header files that returns NULL
unconditionally).
This was found with randconfig testing, causing a crash during bootup:

There is a bug in the powerpc DABR (data access breakpoint) handling,
which can result in us missing breakpoints if several threads are trying
to break on the same address.
The circumstances are that do_page_fault() calls do_dabr(), this clears
the DABR (sets it to 0) and sets up the signal which will report to
userspace that the DABR was hit. The do_signal() code will restore the DABR
value on the way out to userspace.
If we reschedule before calling do_signal(), __switch_to() will check the
cached DABR value and compare it to the new thread's value, if they match
we don't set the DABR in hardware.
So if two threads have the same DABR value, and we schedule from one to
the other after taking the interrupt for the first thread hitting the DABR,
the second thread will run without the DABR set in hardware.
The cleanest fix is to move the cache update into set_dabr(), that way we
can't forget to do it.

This reverts commit 3811dbf67162bd08412f1b0e02e554f353e93bdb.
The masking was not at all useless, and it was sensible. We handle
GFP_ZERO in the caller, and passing it down to any page allocator logic
is buggy and wrong.

Linus noticed a second bug and an uncleanliness:

We need to set up the shared_info pointer once we've mapped the real
shared_info into its fixmap slot. That needs to happen once the general
pagetable setup has been done. Previously, the UP shared_info was set
up one in xen_start_kernel, but that was left pointing to the dummy
shared info. Unfortunately there's no really good place to do a later
setup of the shared_info in UP, so just do it once the pagetable setup
has been done.

xen_irq_enable_direct and xen_sysexit were using "andw $0x00ff,
XEN_vcpu_info_pending(vcpu)" to unmask events and test for pending ones
in one instuction.
Unfortunately, the pending flag must be modified with a locked operation
since it can be set by another CPU, and the unlocked form of this
operation was causing the pending flag to get lost, allowing the processor
to return to usermode with pending events and ultimately deadlock.
The simple fix would be to make it a locked operation, but that's rather
costly and unnecessary. The fix here is to split the mask-clearing and
pending-testing into two instructions; the interrupt window between
them is of no concern because either way pending or new events will
be processed.
This should fix lingering bugs in using direct vcpu structure access too.
