The syndrome based page read/write routines store ECC, and possibly other

512 bytes and a large page (2KiB) NAND, the layout is:
Where OOBx is (prepad, ECC, postpad). However, the current "raw" routines
use a traditional layout -- data OOB, disregarding the prepad and postpad
values -- so when they're used with that type of ECC hardware, those calls
mix up the data and OOB. Which means, in particular, that bad block

ensuing.
The current syndrome-based drivers in mainline all seem to use one chunk
per page; presumably they haven't noticed such bugs.

the existing non-raw routines; "raw" just means to bypass the ECC

properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead.
The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was
assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us
for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to
the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than
500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm
error value).
However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware
is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was
other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors.
So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT
calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads,
and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing
properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum
error bars fall below 500ppm.
In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the
calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitch
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer)
to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC
calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow
the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value.
That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest
way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after
programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the
counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.
however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".
This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.
However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

call mempool_free() until after completing the bio.
Fix it by swapping the order of those two operations.
The same problem occurs in dm.c with md referenced after dec_pending.
Again, we swap the order.

dm crypt: fix kcryptd_async_done parameter
In the async encryption-complete function (kcryptd_async_done), the
crypto_async_request passed in may be different from the one passed to
crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt/decrypt. Only crypto_async_request->data is
guaranteed to be same as the one passed in. The current
kcryptd_async_done uses the passed-in crypto_async_request directly
which may cause the AES-NI-based AES algorithm implementation to panic.
This patch fixes this bug by only using crypto_async_request->data,
which points to dm_crypt_request, the crypto_async_request passed in.
The original data (convert_context) is gotten from dm_crypt_request.

When renaming a mapped device validate the length of the new name.
The rename ioctl accepted any correctly-terminated string enclosed

than that, the device can no longer be addressed by name.
Fix it by properly checking for device name length (including

thinkpad-acpi: fix module autoloading for older models
Looking at the source, there seems to be a missing * to match my DMI
string. I mean for newer IBM and Lenovo's laptops you match either one
of the following:
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:*:svnIBM:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnIBM:*");
MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnLENOVO:*:svnLENOVO:*:pvrThinkPad*:rvnLENOVO:*");
While for older Thinkpads, you do this (for instance):
IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS("1[0,3,6,8,A-G,I,K,M-P,S,T]");
with IBM_BIOS_MODULE_ALIAS being MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:bvnIBM:bvr" __type "ET??WW")
Note there's no * terminating the string. As result, udev doesn't load
anything because modprobe cannot find anything matching this (my
machine actually):
