e587137 Revert "tpm_tis: Use timeouts returned from TPM" This reverts commit 9b29050f8f75916f974a2d231ae5d3cd59792296. It has caused hibernate regressions, for example Juri Sladby's report: "I'm unable to hibernate 2.6.37.1 unless I rmmod tpm_tis: [10974.074587] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug) [10974.103073] tpm_tis 00:0c: Operation Timed out [10974.103089] legacy_suspend(): pnp_bus_suspend+0x0/0xa0 returns -62 [10974.103095] PM: Device 00:0c failed to freeze: error -62" and Rafael points out that some of the new conditionals in that commit seem to make no sense.

f87e6f4 net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited, so its stack was freed and reused). Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit 443457242beb (net: factorize sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many) This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.

3c18d4d Expand CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST to several other list operations When list debugging is enabled, we aim to readably show list corruption errors, and the basic list_add/list_del operations end up having extra debugging code in them to do some basic validation of the list entries. However, "list_del_init()" and "list_move[_tail]()" ended up avoiding the debug code due to how they were written. This fixes that. So the _next_ time we have list_move() problems with stale list entries, we'll hopefully have an easier time finding them..

6e57b1d RTC: Revert UIE emulation removal Uwe pointed out that my alarm based UIE emulation is not sufficient to replace the older timer/polling based UIE emulation on devices where there is no alarm irq. This causes rtc devices without alarms to return -EINVAL to UIE ioctls. The fix is to re-instate the old timer/polling method for devices without alarm irqs. This patch reverts the following commits: 042620a018afcfba1d678062b62e46 - Remove UIE emulation 1daeddd5962acad1bea55e524fc0fa - Cleanup removed UIE emulation declaration b5cc8ca1c9c3a37eaddf709b2fd3e1 - Remove Kconfig symbol for UIE emulation The emulation mode will still need to be wired-in with a following patch before it will work.

c0af2c0 IB/qib: Prevent double completions after a timeout or RNR error There is a double completion associated with error handling for RC QPs. The sequence is: - The do_rc_ack() routine fields an RNR nack and there are 0 rnr_retries configured on the QP. - qib_error_qp() stops the pending timer - qib_rc_send_complete() is called from sdma_complete() - qib_rc_send_complete() starts the timer because the msb of the psn just completed says an ack is needed. - a bunch of flushes occur as ipoib posts WQEs to an error'ed QP - rc_timeout() calls qib_restart_rc() - qib_restart_rc() calls qib_send_complete() with a IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR on a wqe that has already been completed in the past The fix avoids starting the timer since another packet will never arrive.

e51900f block: revert block_dev read-only check This reverts commit 75f1dc0d076d ("block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get()"). That commit added stricter checking to make sure devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that mode. It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens block devices. Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device. Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them read-write even if they were being used read-only. Auditing all that code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc. will also be required.

3abb17e vfs: fix BUG_ON() in fs/namei.c:1461 When Al moved the nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu_maybe() call into the do_follow_link function in commit 844a391799c2 ("nothing in do_follow_link() is going to see RCU"), he mistakenly left the BUG_ON(inode != path->dentry->d_inode); behind. Which would otherwise be ok, but that BUG_ON() really needs to be _after_ dropping RCU, since the dentry isn't necessarily stable otherwise. So complete the code movement in that commit, and move the BUG_ON() into do_follow_link() too. This means that we need to pass in 'inode' as an argument (just for this one use), but that's a small thing. And eventually we may be confident enough in our path lookup that we can just remove the BUG_ON() and the unnecessary inode argument.

The problem with the release function within the driver is that it might be called after the driver was removed because someone was holding a reference to it and it was not called right after platform_device_unregister(). So we also free the platform device memory to which one might hold a reference. This patch uses the normal pdev functions so this kind of race does not occur.

1621dbb [SCSI] qla2xxx: Return DID_NO_CONNECT when FC device is lost. If the target device gets lost, this fix is needed, as it causes negative unintended responses on basic I/O tests. If the target device gets lost, the upstream qla2xxx driver returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY which causes an immediate retry without drop in the number of allowed retries. This semantic change, as a result of removing FC_DEVICE_LOST check is reasonable, as it only extends a short transitional period, until the transport is called to notify that the rport as lost (fc_remote_port_delete()). Once transport notification is done, fc_remote_port_chkready() check will take over.

a628e7b pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space read This reintroduces commit 47970b1b which was subsequently reverted as f00eaeea. The original change was broken and caused X startup failures and generally made privileged processes incapable of reading device dependent config space. The normal capable() interface returns true on success, but the LSM interface returns 0 on success. This thinko is now fixed in this patch, and has been confirmed to work properly. So, once again...Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps from sysfs file open to read device dependent config space") caused the capability check to bypass security modules and potentially auditing. Rectify this by calling security_capable() when checking the open file's capabilities for config space reads.

678301e x86, ioapic: Don't warn about non-existing IOAPICs if we have none mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like: ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13 if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently doesn't have any IOAPICs. But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

d11327a arp_notify: unconditionally send gratuitous ARP for NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS. NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER is an explicit request by the driver to send a link notification while NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGEADDR generate link notifications as a sort of side effect. In the later cases the sysctl option is present because link notification events can have undesired effects e.g. if the link is flapping. I don't think this applies in the case of an explicit request from a driver. This patch makes NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEER unconditional, if preferred we could add a new sysctl for this case which defaults to on. This change causes Xen post-migration ARP notifications (which cause switches to relearn their MAC tables etc) to be sent by default.

7e9c262 cxgb4vf: Quiesce Virtual Interfaces on shutdown ... When a Virtual Machine is rebooted, KVM currently fails to issue a Function Level Reset against any "Attached PCI Devices" (AKA "PCI Passthrough"). In addition to leaving the attached device in a random state in the next booted kernel (which sort of violates the entire idea of a reboot reseting hardware state), this leaves our peer thinking that the link is still up. (Note that a bug has been filed with the KVM folks, #25332, but there's been no response on that as of yet.) So, we add a "->shutdown()" method for the Virtual Function PCI Device to handle administrative shutdowns like a reboot. Signed-off-by: Casey Leedom <leedom@chelsio.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
