USB: add YEALINK phones to the HID_QUIRK_IGNORE blacklist

2006-09-22T18:28:19+00:00

Keys on Yealink based phones will not function properly when using the generic HID driver. This patch prevents the generic HID code from grabbing the device before the regular yealink driver can get a grip on it.

USB: Fix unload oops and memory leak in yealink driver

2006-09-22T18:20:40+00:00

This patch fixes a memory leak and a kernel oops when trying to unload the driver, due to an unbalanced cleanup. Thanks Ivar Jensen for spotting my mistake. Signed-off-by: Henk Vergonet Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

kernel/kmod.c: fix a race condition in usermodehelper.

2006-09-22T00:32:57+00:00

There is a race between call_usermodehelper_keys, __call_usermodehelper and wait_for_helper. It should only happen if preemption is enabled or on a virtualized system. If the cpu is preempted or put to sleep by the hypervisor in __call_usermodehelper between the creation of the wait_for_helper thread and the second check on sub_info->wait, the whole execution of wait_for_helper including the complete call and the continuation after the wait_for_completion in call_usermodehelper_keys can have happened before __call_usermodehelper checks sub_info->wait for the second time. Since sub_info can already have been clobbered, sub_info->wait could be zero and complete is called a second time with an invalid argument. This has happened on s390. It took me only three days to find out .. Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for his help to spot this bug. Kenneth Lee also sent the same patch independently.

I2C: fix 'ignore' module parameter handling

V4L/DVB: TDA8290 update

2006-09-18T22:56:25+00:00

This patch - works around a bug in the I2C bridge that makes the initialization of the TDA10046 fail on recent LifeView cards - puts the AGC output to tristate in sleep mode. This is necessary for recent hybrid cards that switch the AGC via tristateing.

Convert idr's internal locking to _irqsave variant

2006-09-18T17:28:17+00:00

Currently, the code in lib/idr.c uses a bare spin_lock(&idp->lock) to do internal locking. This is a nasty trap for code that might call idr functions from different contexts; for example, it seems perfectly reasonable to call idr_get_new() from process context and idr_remove() from interrupt context -- but with the current locking this would lead to a potential deadlock. The simplest fix for this is to just convert the idr locking to use spin_lock_irqsave(). In particular, this fixes a very complicated locking issue detected by lockdep, involving the ib_ipoib driver's priv->lock and dev->_xmit_lock, which get involved with the ib_sa module's query_idr.lock.

[TEXTSEARCH]: Fix Boyer Moore initialization bug

2006-09-18T17:26:29+00:00

The pattern is set after trying to compute the prefix table, which tries to use it. Initialize it before calling compute_prefix_tbl, make compute_prefix_tbl consistently use only the data from struct ts_bm and remove the now unnecessary arguments.

via-velocity: fix speed and link status reported by ethtool

2006-09-18T17:23:20+00:00

The via-velocity driver reports incorrect speed and link detected status as viewed by ethtool (and probably other tools). This patch fixes those incorrect reports and prettifies a long line. Signed-off-by: Jay Cliburn Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk
