The status workqueue is involved in initializing the Uxxx and polling
the Uxxx until a supported PCMCIA CardBus device is detected.
It then starts the command and respond workqueues and then loads the
module that handles the device, after which it just polls the Uxxx
looking for card ejects.
The command and respond workqueues are involved in implementing a command
sequencer for communicating with the firmware on the other side of
the FTDI chip in the Uxxx.
These workqueues have only a single work item each and hence they do not
require ordering. Also, none of the above workqueues are being used on a
memory recliam path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueues have been
replaced with the use of system_wq.
System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.
The work items have been sync cancelled because they are self-requeueing
and need to wait for the in-flight work item to finish before proceeding
with destruction. Hence, they have been sync cancelled in
ftdi_status_cancel_work(), ftdi_command_cancel_work() and
ftdi_response_cancel_work(). These functions are called in
ftdi_elan_exit() to ensure that there are no pending work items while
disconnecting the driver.

This patch fixes fives off-by-one bugs in the ftdi-elan driver code. The
bug can be triggered by plugging a USB adapter for CardBus 3G cards (model
U132 manufactured by Elan Digital Systems, Ltd), causing a kernel panic.
The fix was tested on Ubuntu 14.04.4 with 4.7.0-rc14.2.0-27-generic+ and
4.4.0-22-generic+ kernel. In the ftdi_elan_synchronize function, an
off-by-one memory corruption occurs when packet_bytes is equal or bigger
than m. After having read m bytes, that is bytes_read is equal to m, "
..\x00" is still copied to the stack variable causing an out bounds write
of 4 bytes, which overwrites the stack canary and results in a kernel
panic.
This off-by-one requires physical access to the machine. It is not
exploitable since we have no control on the overwritten data. Similar
off-by-one bugs have been observed in 4 other functions:
ftdi_elan_stuck_waiting, ftdi_elan_read, ftdi_elan_edset_output and
ftdi_elan_flush_input_fifo.

The kernel doc for usb_bulk_msg() says the timeout for a bulk message should be
specified in milliseconds. The ftdi-elan driver converts milliseconds to
jiffies before passing the timeout to usb_bulk_msg(). This is mostly harmless,
since it will just lead to very long timeouts, but was obviously not the intent
of the original author.

ELAN's U132 is a USB to CardBus OHCI controller adapter,
designed specifically for CardBus 3G data cards to
function in machines without a CardBus slot.
The "ftdi-elan" module is a USB client driver, that detects
a supported CardBus OHCI controller plugged into the
U132 adapter and thereafter provides the conduit for
for access by the "u132-hcd" module.
The "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller
that supports a single OHCI function of the CardBus
card inserted into the U132 adapter.
The problem with the initial implementation is that when
the CardBus card inserted into the U132 adapter has multiple
functions (and a CardBus card can support up to 4 functions),
it was the first function that was arbitrarily choosen.
The first batch of 3G cards tested, like the Merlin Qualcomm
V620, have two functions each supporting a seperate USB OHCI
host controller, of which it was that first function that is
wired up to the 3G modem.
Then along comes the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card,
aka "Option GT 3G Quad" as printed on it's rear or "Option N.V.
GlobeTrotter Fusion Quad Lite" as read with "lspci -v". And it
has the meaningful functionality in the second CardBus function.
That presents a problem because it was the "ftdi-elan" module
alone that knows how to communicate to the embedded CardBus slot
and the "u132-hcd" module alone that knows how to access the
pcmcia configuration and CardBus accessible memory space. And
of course, the information about attached (internally hardwired)
devices is contained within USB configuration embedded somewhere
within the CardBus card.
If only the "u132-hcd" module probe() interface could return a
result code that propagated back to the instigating function
platform_device_register() then the "ftdi-elan" module could
try an alternative CardBus function. However in spite of
the recent changes to the drivers/base/ routines that moved
device_attach() from bus_add_device() to bus_attach_device()
both of those routines lose the "failed to attach" 0 result
code and thus the calling routine, namely device_add() is
incapable of propaging the "failed to attach" condition back
to platform_device_add() and consequently back to the caller
of platform_device_register()
Experiments show that patching bus_attach_device() to return
ENODEV fails with the kernel locking up very early during
boot. But, however, if the patch is restricted to calls from
platform_device_add() then it does seem to work.
Unfortunately, until the kernel's drivers/base is properly
modified to propagate -ENODEV back to the caller of
platform_device_register(), it is necessary to "fix" the
"ftdi-elan" module by importing knowledge from the
"u132-hcd" module. This is the reason for the duplicated
functionality introduced in this patch.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the needlessly global ftdi_release_platform_dev() static
- remove the unused usb_ftdi_elan_read_reg()
- proper prototypes for the following functions:
- usb_ftdi_elan_read_pcimem()
- usb_ftdi_elan_write_pcimem()
Note that the misplaced prototypes for the latter ones in
drivers/usb/host/u132-hcd.c were buggy. Depending on the calling
convention of the architecture calling one of them could have turned
your stack into garbage.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.
