[MIPS] Malta: Fix software reset on big endian
I noticed that the commit f197465384bf7ef1af184c2ed1a4e268911a91e3
(MIPS Tech: Get rid of volatile in core code) broke the software
reset functionality for MIPS Malta boards in big-endian mode.
According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic
32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft
reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET
integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been
set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic
value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however,
swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32.
The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel()
routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole
MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab
and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also
included.
The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both
BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional
after the change.
P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality
for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I
don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org

hardreset report ATA_DEV_NONE for non-classifying resets and thus
makes EH believe that the port is unoccupied and recovery can be
skipped. The end result is that after a device is swapped with
another one, the new device isn't attached after the old one is
detached.

[NET]: Fix drivers to handle napi_disable() disabling interrupts.
When we add the generic napi_disable_pending() breakout
logic to net_rx_action() it means that napi_disable()
can cause NAPI poll interrupt events to be disabled.
And this is exactly what we want. If a napi_disable()
is pending, and we are looping in the ->poll(), we want
->poll() event interrupts to stay disabled and we want
to complete the NAPI poll ASAP.
When ->poll() break out during device down was being handled on a
per-driver basis, often these drivers would turn interrupts back on
when '!netif_running()' was detected.
And this would just cause a reschedule of the NAPI ->poll() in the
interrupt handler before the napi_disable() could get in there and
grab the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit.
The vast majority of drivers don't care if napi_disable() might have
the side effect of disabling NAPI ->poll() event interrupts. In all
such cases, when a napi_disable() is performed, the driver just
disabled interrupts or is about to.
However there were three exceptions to this in PCNET32, R8169, and
SKY2. To fix those cases, at the subsequent napi_enable() points, I
added code to ensure that the ->poll() interrupt events are enabled in

break out of the ->poll() loop on a NAPI context that has a pending
napi_disable() yet is being bombed with packets (and thus would
otherwise poll endlessly and not allow the napi_disable() to finish).
Now, what napi_disable() does is first set the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit
(to indicate that a disable is pending), then it polls for the
NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit, and once the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit is acquired
the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE bit is cleared. Here, the test_and_set_bit()
provides the necessary memory barrier between the various bitops.
napi_schedule_prep() now tests for a pending disable as it's first
action and won't try to obtain the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit if a disable
is pending.

The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems

[IPV4] raw: Strengthen check on validity of iph->ihl
We currently check that iph->ihl is bounded by the real length and that
the real length is greater than the minimum IP header length. However,
we did not check the caes where iph->ihl is less than the minimum IP
header length.
This breaks because some ip_fast_csum implementations assume that which
is quite reasonable.

It is possible for the TX ring to have packets sit in it for unbounded
amounts of time.
The only way to defer TX interrupts in the chip is to periodically set
"mark" bits, when processing of a TX descriptor with the mark bit set
is complete it triggers the interrupt for the TX queue's LDG.
A consequence of this kind of scheme is that if packet flow suddenly
stops, the remaining TX packets will just sit there.
If this happens, since those packets could be charged to TCP socket
send queues, such sockets could get stuck.
The simplest solution is to divorce the socket ownership of the packet
once the device takes the SKB, by using skb_orphan() in
niu_start_xmit().
In hindsight, it would have been much nicer if the chip provided two
interrupt sources for TX (like basically every other ethernet chip
does). Namely, keep the "mark" bit, but also signal the LDG when the
TX queue becomes completely empty. That way there is no need to have
a deadlock breaker like this.

futex: Prevent stale futex owner when interrupted/timeout
Roland Westrelin did a great analysis of a long standing thinko in the
return path of futex_lock_pi.
While we fixed the lock steal case long ago, which was easy to trigger,
we never had a test case which exposed this problem and stupidly never
thought about the reverse lock stealing scenario and the return to user
space with a stale state.
When a blocked tasks returns from rt_mutex_timed_locked without holding
the rt_mutex (due to a signal or timeout) and at the same time the task
holding the futex is releasing the futex and assigning the ownership of
the futex to the returning task, then it might happen that a third task
acquires the rt_mutex before the final rt_mutex_trylock() of the
returning task happens under the futex hash bucket lock. The returning
task returns to user space with ETIMEOUT or EINTR, but the user space
futex value is assigned to this task. The task which acquired the
rt_mutex fixes the user space futex value right after the hash bucket
lock has been released by the returning task, but for a short period of
time the user space value is wrong.
The fix for this is the same as we do when the rt_mutex was acquired by
a higher priority task via lock stealing from the designated new owner.
In that case we already fix the user space value and the internal
pi_state up before we return. This mechanism can be used to fixup the
above corner case as well. When the returning task, which failed to
acquire the rt_mutex, notices that it is the designated owner of the
futex, then it fixes up the stale user space value and the pi_state,
before returning to user space. This happens with the futex hash bucket
lock held, so the task which acquired the rt_mutex is guaranteed to be
blocked on the hash bucket lock. We can access the rt_mutex owner, which
gives us the pid of the new owner, safely here as the owner is not able
to modify (release) it while waiting on the hash bucket lock.
Rename the "curr" argument of fixup_pi_state_owner() to "newowner" to
avoid confusion with current and add the check for the stale state into
the failure path of rt_mutex_trylock() in the return path of
unlock_futex_pi(). If the situation is detected use
fixup_pi_state_owner() to assign everything to the owner of the
rt_mutex.

a real world application.
To fix this the driver check for meaningful hardware changes is restored
but doing the tests correctly and as a tty layer function so it doesn't
get duplicated wrongly everywhere if other drivers turn out to need it.

hfs: handle more on-disk corruptions without oopsing
hfs seems prone to bad things when it encounters on disk corruption. Many
values are read from disk, and used as lengths to memcpy, as an example.
This patch fixes up several of these problematic cases.
o sanity check the on-disk maximum key lengths on mount
(these are set to a defined value at mkfs time and shouldn't differ)
o check on-disk node keylens against the maximum key length for each tree
o fix hfs_btree_open so that going out via free_tree: doesn't wind
up in hfs_releasepage, which wants to follow the very pointer
we were trying to set up:
HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree = hfs_btree_open()
...
failure gets to hfs_releasepage and tries
to follow HFS_SB(sb)->cat_tree
Tested with the fsfuzzer; it survives more than it used to.
