edac_mc: edac_mc_free() cannot assume mem_ctl_info is registered in sysfs.
Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in edac_unregister_sysfs() on
system boot introduced in 3.6-rc1.
Since commit 7a623c039 ("edac: rewrite the sysfs code to use struct
device") edac_mc_alloc() no longer initializes embedded kobjects in
struct mem_ctl_info. Therefore edac_mc_free() can no longer simply
decrement a kobject reference count to free the allocated memory unless
the memory controller driver module had also called edac_mc_add_mc().
Now edac_mc_free() will check if the newly embedded struct device has
been registered with sysfs before using either the standard device
release functions or freeing the data structures itself with logic
pulled out of the error path of edac_mc_alloc().
The BUG this patch resolves for me:

and that code block seem to mess things up in several ways (double free, memory
leak, out-of-bound reads etc.):
L422: The iterator "chn" and bound "tot_channels" are totally wrong. Should be
"row" and "tot_csrows" respectively. Which means either memory leak, or
out-of-bound reads (which if does not trigger an immediate page fault
error, will further lead to kfree() on random addresses).
L425: The inner loop is reusing the same iterator "chn" as the outer loop,
which could lead to premature end of the outer loop, and hence memory leak.
L429: The array index 'i' in mci->csrows[i] is a temporary value used in
previous loops, and won't change at all in the current loop. Which
means either out-of-bound read and possibly kfree(random number), or the
same mci->csrows[i] get freed once and again, and possibly double free
for the kfree(csr) in L427.
L426/L427: a kfree(csr->channels) is needed in between to avoid leaking the memory.
The buggy code was introduced by commit de3910eb ("edac: change the mem
allocation scheme to make Documentation/kobject.txt happy") in the 3.6-rc1

This patch fixes an issue introduced after commit 4ea5454203d991ec
("HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver").
After that commit, hid-core discards any incoming packet that arrives while
hid driver's probe function is being executed.
This broke the enumeration process of hid-logitech-dj, that must receive
control packets in-band with the mouse and keyboard packets. Discarding mouse
or keyboard data at the very begining is usually fine, but it is not the case
for control packets.
This patch forces a re-enumeration of the paired devices when a packet arrives
that comes from an unknown device.
Based on a patch originally written by Benjamin Tissoires.

The format_array_alloc() function is fundamentally racy, in that it
prints the array twice: once to figure out how much space to allocate
for the buffer, and the second time to actually print out the data.
If any of the array contents changes in between, the allocation size may
be wrong, and the end result may be truncated in odd ways.
Just don't do it. Allocate a maximum-sized array up-front, and just
format the array contents once. The only user of the u32_array
interfaces is the Xen spinlock statistics code, and it has 31 entries in
the arrays, so the maximum size really isn't that big, and the end
result is much simpler code without the bug.

debugfs: fix race in u32_array_read and allocate array at open
u32_array_open() is racy when multiple threads read from a file with a
seek position of zero, i.e. when two or more simultaneous reads are
occurring after the non-seekable files are created. It is possible that
file->private_data is double-freed because the threads races between
kfree(file->private-data);
and
file->private_data = NULL;
The fix is to only do format_array_alloc() when the file is opened and
free it when it is closed.
Note that because the file has always been non-seekable, you can't open
it and read it multiple times anyway, so the data has always been
generated just once. The difference is that now it is generated at open
time rather than at the time of the first read, and that avoids the
race.

net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum
A change in a series of VLAN-related changes appears to have
inadvertently disabled the use of the scatter gather feature of
network cards for transmission of non-IP ethernet protocols like ATA
over Ethernet (AoE). Below is a reference to the commit that
introduces a "harmonize_features" function that turns off scatter
gather when the NIC does not support hardware checksumming for the
ethernet protocol of an sk buff.
net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features().
The can_checksum_protocol function is not equipped to consider a
protocol that does not require checksumming. Calling it for a
protocol that requires no checksum is inappropriate.
The patch below has harmonize_features call can_checksum_protocol when
the protocol needs a checksum, so that the network layer is not forced
to perform unnecessary skb linearization on the transmission of AoE
packets. Unnecessary linearization results in decreased performance
and increased memory pressure, as reported here:
The problem has probably not been widely experienced yet, because
only recently has the kernel.org-distributed aoe driver acquired the
ability to use payloads of over a page in size, with the patchset
recently included in the mm tree:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/28/140

xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is valid
The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually
contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new
state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the
whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the
replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL
netlink attribute. This leads to following issues:
1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling
code later on.
2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap
memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN).
Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's
iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter
uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not.
strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1.
To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the
XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a
fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel
bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For
state updates the full bitmap must be supplied.
To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size
of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum
replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real
life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).

drm/radeon: Prevent leak of scratch register on resume from suspend
Cards typically have 5-7 scratch registers; one of these is reserved for
rdev->rptr_save_reg. Unfortunately the reservation is done in function
r100_cp_init, which is called by all drivers except r600 - and this
function is also invoked on resume from suspend. After several resumes,
no scratch registers are free and graphics acceleration is disabled.
Dmesg then reports either:
*ERROR* radeon: cp failed to get scratch reg (-22).
*ERROR* radeon: cp isn't working(-22).
radeon 0000:01:00.0: failed initializing CP (-22).
or:
*ERROR* radeon: failed to get scratch reg (-22).
*ERROR* radeon: failed testing IB on GFX ring (-22).
*ERROR* ib ring test failed (-22).
The chain of calls on boot for all except r600 is:
radeon_init -> ... -> (rXXX_init) -> rXXX_startup -> r100_cp_init
The chain of calls on resume for all except r600 is:
rXXX_resume -> rXXX_startup -> r100_cp_init.
R600 correctly allocates rptr_save_reg in r600_init (ie once only, not
in resume). However moving the code into the init functions for all
drivers means touching 4 drivers. So instead, this patch just adds a
test in r100_cp_init to avoid reallocating on resume. As the rdev
structure is allocated via kzalloc in radeon_driver_load_kms, and zero
is not a valid registerid, zero safely implies not-yet-allocated.

It looks that the warning is caused by that twd_update_frequency() gets
called from an atomic context while it calls clk_get_rate() where a

To fix the warning, let's convert common clk users over to clk notifiers
in place of CPUfreq notifiers. This works out nicely for Cortex-A9
MPcore designs that scale all CPUs at the same frequency.
Platforms that have not been converted to the common clk framework and
support CPUfreq will rely on the old mechanism. Once these platforms
are converted over fully then we can remove the CPUfreq-specific bits

cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU
powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed. The
function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
still broken. Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
fidvid_mutex and sleeps.
It is unclear why this bug is being reported now. Duncan says it
appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
3.5. Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
change. Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting. Maybe something made
contention on fidvid_mutex more likely? I don't know.
This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
isn't the same as the current one. The code assumes that
cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
me is the case.

kthread die on each invocation.
Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
advantage of doing this. Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
which makes it simpler and way more efficient.
stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8. AFAICS, this
shouldn't break other existing users.

This patch updates the existing Intel IvyBridge (model 58)
support with proper PEBS event constraints. It cannot reuse
the same as SandyBridge because some events (0xd3) are
specific to IvyBridge.
Also there is no UOPS_DISPATCHED.THREAD on IVB, so do not
populate the PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND mapping.
linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST
After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends),
the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra):
warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true
The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect
if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning
disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison.
Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone,
and that the result is still correct:
IMA audit hashes patches introduced new IMA flags and required
space went beyond 8 bits. Currently the only flag is IMA_DIGSIG.
This patch use 16 bit short instead of 8 bit char.
Without this fix IMA signature will be replaced with hash, which
should not happen.
md: make sure metadata is updated when spares are activated or removed.
It isn't always necessary to update the metadata when spares are
removed as the presence-or-not of a spare isn't really important to
the integrity of an array.
Also activating a spare doesn't always require updating the metadata
as the update on 'recovery-completed' is usually sufficient.
However the introduction of 'replacement' devices have made these
transitions sometimes more important. For example the 'Replacement'
flag isn't cleared until the original device is removed, so we need
to ensure a metadata update after that 'spare' is removed.
So set MD_CHANGE_DEVS whenever a spare is activated or removed, to
complement the current situation where it is set when a spare is added
or a device is failed (or a number of other less common situations).
This is suitable for -stable as out-of-data metadata could lead
to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later 9when 'replacement' as
introduced.
md/raid5: fix calculate of 'degraded' when a replacement becomes active.
When a replacement device becomes active, we mark the device that it
replaces as 'faulty' so that it can subsequently get removed.
However 'calc_degraded' only pays attention to the primary device, not
the replacement, so the array appears to become degraded, which is
wrong.
So teach 'calc_degraded' to consider any replacement if a primary
device is faulty.
This is suitable for -stable as an incorrect 'degraded' value can
confuse md and could lead to data corruption.
This is only relevant for 3.3 and later.

While this patch seemed like a good idea and did help some workloads,
it hurts other workloads.
Large sequential O_DIRECT writes were faster,
Small random O_DIRECT writes were slower.
Other changes (batching RAID5 writes) have improved the sequential
writes using a different mechanism, so the net result of this patch
is definitely negative. So revert it.
