bus: mvebu: pass the coherency availability information at init time

2015-07-04T02:49:05+00:00

commit 5686a1e5aa436c49187a60052d5885fb1f541ce6 upstream. Until now, the mvebu-mbus was guessing by itself whether hardware I/O coherency was available or not by poking into the Device Tree to see if the coherency fabric Device Tree node was present or not. However, on some upcoming SoCs, the presence or absence of the coherency fabric DT node isn't sufficient: in CONFIG_SMP, the coherency can be enabled, but not in !CONFIG_SMP. In order to clean this up, the mvebu_mbus_dt_init() function is extended to get a boolean argument telling whether coherency is enabled or not. Therefore, the logic to decide whether coherency is available or not now belongs to the core SoC code instead of the mvebu-mbus driver itself, which is much better.

This change in combination with commit e553554536 ("ARM: mvebu: disable I/O coherency on non-SMP situations on Armada 370/375/38x/XP") is critical to the hardware I/O coherency being set correctly by both the mbus driver and all peripheral hardware drivers. Without this change drivers will incorrectly enable I/O coherency window attributes and this causes rare unreliable system behavior including oops. ] Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change

2015-06-06T15:19:36+00:00

commit 09c5b4803a80a5451d950d6a539d2eb311dc0fb1 upstream. When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link. Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change. The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()

2015-05-17T16:53:49+00:00

commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream. The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken() is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to (NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1). Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value is set to the level parameter on device. This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

usb: define a generic USB_RESUME_TIMEOUT macro

2015-05-06T19:59:11+00:00

commit 62f0342de1f012f3e90607d39e20fce811391169 upstream. Every USB Host controller should use this new macro to define for how long resume signalling should be driven on the bus. Currently, almost every single USB controller is using a 20ms timeout for resume signalling. That's problematic for two reasons: a) sometimes that 20ms timer expires a little before 20ms, which makes us fail certification b) some (many) devices actually need more than 20ms resume signalling. Sure, in case of (b) we can state that the device is against the USB spec, but the fact is that we have no control over which device the certification lab will use. We also have no control over which host they will use. Most likely they'll be using a Windows PC which, again, we have no control over how that USB stack is written and how long resume signalling they are using. At the end of the day, we must make sure Linux passes electrical compliance when working as Host or as Device and currently we don't pass compliance as host because we're driving resume signallig for exactly 20ms and that confuses certification test setup resulting in Certification failure.

net: fix crash in build_skb()

[ Upstream commit 2ea2f62c8bda242433809c7f4e9eae1c52c40bbe ] When I added pfmemalloc support in build_skb(), I forgot netlink was using build_skb() with a vmalloc() area.

vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support

2015-04-29T08:31:55+00:00

commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream. The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a "you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler. That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV. In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by that duplicated architecture fault handler. However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS. To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying. This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that cleanup. Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about them too.

ipv6: protect skb->sk accesses from recursive dereference inside the stack

2015-04-29T08:31:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit f60e5990d9c1424af9dbca60a23ba2a1c7c1ce90 ] We should not consult skb->sk for output decisions in xmit recursion levels > 0 in the stack. Otherwise local socket settings could influence the result of e.g. tunnel encapsulation process. ipv6 does not conform with this in three places: 1) ip6_fragment: we do consult ipv6_npinfo for frag_size 2) sk_mc_loop in ipv6 uses skb->sk and checks if we should loop the packet back to the local socket 3) ip6_skb_dst_mtu could query the settings from the user socket and force a wrong MTU Furthermore: In sk_mc_loop we could potentially land in WARN_ON(1) if we use a PF_PACKET socket ontop of an IPv6-backed vxlan device. Reuse xmit_recursion as we are currently only interested in protecting tunnel devices. Cc: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Signed-off-by: David S.
