imx-drm: imx-drm-core: Export imx_drm_encoder_get_mux_id

2013-09-14T14:06:46+00:00

commit ea8d15832016b0d07a8121159904e6b1d21b5b8b upstream. When building imx_v6_v7_defconfig with imx-drm drivers selected as modules, we get the following build error: ERROR: "imx_drm_encoder_get_mux_id" [drivers/staging/imx-drm/imx-ldb.ko] undefined! Export the required function to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by: Fabio Estevam Acked-by: Sascha Hauer Acked-by: Philipp Zabel Cc: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: comedi: bug-fix NULL pointer dereference on failed attach

2013-08-23T17:31:47+00:00

Commit dcd7b8bd63cb81c5b973bf86510ca3c80bbbd162 ("staging: comedi: put module _after_ detach" by myself) reversed a couple of calls in `comedi_device_attach()` when recovering from an error returned by the low-level driver's 'attach' handler. Unfortunately, that introduced a NULL pointer dereference bug as `dev->driver` is NULL after the call to `comedi_device_detach()`. We still have a pointer to the low-level comedi driver structure in the `driv` variable, so use that instead. Signed-off-by: Ian Abbott Cc: # 3.10+ Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: zcache: fix "zcache=" kernel parameter

2013-07-29T18:45:09+00:00

Commit 835f2f5 ("staging: zcache: enable zcache to be built/loaded as a module") introduced an incorrect handling of "zcache=" parameter. Inside zcache_comp_init() function, zcache_comp_name variable is checked for being empty. If not empty, the above variable is tested for being compatible with Crypto API. Unfortunately, after that function ends unconditionally (by the "goto out" directive) and returns: - non-zero value if verification succeeded, wrongly indicating an error - zero value if verification failed, falsely informing that function zcache_comp_init() ended properly. A solution to this problem is as following: 1. Move the "goto out" directive inside the "if (!ret)" statement 2. In case that crypto_has_comp() returned 0, change the value of ret to non-zero before "goto out" to indicate an error. This patch replaces an earlier one from Michal Hocko (based on report from Cristian Rodriguez): http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/102484 It also addressed the same issue but didn't fix the zcache_comp_init() for case when the compressor data passed to "zcache=" option was invalid or unsupported.

staging: tidspbridge: replace strict_strtol() with kstrtos32()

2013-07-24T16:51:18+00:00

The usage of strict_strtol() is not preferred, because strict_strtol() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtos32() should be used in order to convert a string to s32. Also, error handling is added to get rid of a __must_check warning. This fixes a memory corruption bug as well. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Reviewed-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: android: logger: Correct write offset reset on error

2013-07-23T22:08:50+00:00

In the situation that a writer fails to copy data from userspace it will reset the write offset to the value it had before it went to sleep. This discarding any messages written while aquiring the mutex. Therefore the reset offset needs to be retrieved after acquiring the mutex.

staging: gdm72xx: potential use after free in send_qos_list()

2013-07-23T22:08:50+00:00

Commit ac4c1a9b33 ("staging: drm/imx: Add LDB support") added the DRM_IMX_LDB Kconfig entry. That entry selects OF_VIDEOMODE. But there is no Kconfig symbol named OF_VIDEOMODE. The select statement for that symbol is a nop. Drop it. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Acked-by: Sascha Hauer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
