2009-03-24USB: ub: use USB API functions rather than constantsJulia Lawall
This set of patches introduces calls to the following set of functions: usb_endpoint_dir_in(epd) usb_endpoint_dir_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_out(epd) usb_endpoint_num(epd) usb_endpoint_type(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_int(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd) In some cases, introducing one of these functions is not possible, and it just replaces an explicit integer value by one of the following constants: USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_INT USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_ISOC An extract of the semantic patch that makes these changes is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r1@ struct usb_endpoint_descriptor *epd; @@ - ((epd->bmAttributes & \(USB_ENDPOINT_XFERTYPE_MASK\|3\)) == - \(USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_CONTROL\|0\)) + usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) @r5@ struct usb_endpoint_descriptor *epd; @@ - ((epd->bEndpointAddress & \(USB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK\|0x80\)) == - \(USB_DIR_IN\|0x80\)) + usb_endpoint_dir_in(epd) @inc@ @@ #include <linux/usb.h> @depends on !inc && (r1||r5)@ @@ + #include <linux/usb.h> #include <linux/usb/...> // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-03-24USB: Move definitions from usb.h to usb/ch9.hJulia Lawall
The functions: usb_endpoint_dir_in(epd) usb_endpoint_dir_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_bulk_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_int_out(epd) usb_endpoint_is_isoc_in(epd) usb_endpoint_is_isoc_out(epd) usb_endpoint_num(epd) usb_endpoint_type(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_control(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_int(epd) usb_endpoint_xfer_isoc(epd) are moved from include/linux/usb.h to include/linux/usb/ch9.h. include/linux/usb/ch9.h makes more sense for these functions because they only depend on constants that are defined in this file.

2009-03-24USB: pxa27x_udc: add vbus_draw callbackRobert Jarzmik
Add the vbus_draw() callback to inform the transceiver, if it exists, how much current may be drawn. The decision is taken on gadget driver side using the configuration chosen by the host and its bMaxPower field. Some systems can use the host's VBUS supply to augment or recharge a battery. (There's also a default of 100 mA for unconfigured devices, or 8 mA if they're OTG devices.)

When a transceiver driver is used, no automatic udc enable is done. The transceiver (OTG or not) should : - take care of VBus sensing - call usb_gadget_vbus_connect() - call usb_gadget_vbus_disconnect() The pullup should remain within this driver's management, either by gpio_pullup of udc_command() fields.

On vbus_session() call, optionally activate D+ pullup resistor and enable the udc, or deactivate D+ pullup resistor and disable the udc. It is intentional to not handle any VBus sense related irq. An external transceiver driver (like gpio_vbus) should catch VBus sense signal, and call usb_gadget_vbus_connect() or usb_gadget_vbus_disconnect().

2009-03-24usblp: continuously poll for statusPete Zaitcev
The usblp in 2.6.18 polled for status regardless if we actually needed it. At some point I dropped it, to save the batteries if nothing else. As it turned out, printers exist (e.g. Canon BJC-3000) that need prodding this way or else they stop. This patch restores the old behaviour. If you want to save battery, don't leave jobs in the print queue. I tested this on my printers by printing and examining usbmon traces to make sure status is being requested and printers continue to print. Tuomas Jäntti verified the fix on BJC-3000.

2009-03-24USB: usb-storage: increase max_sectors for tape drivesAlan Stern
This patch (as1203) increases the max_sector limit for USB tape drives. By default usb-storage sets max_sectors to 240 (i.e., 120 KB) for all devices. But tape drives need a higher limit, since tapes can and do have very large block sizes. Without the ability to transfer an entire large block in a single command, such tapes can't be used. This fixes Bugzilla #12207.

2009-03-24USB: gadget: fix rndis regressionDavid Brownell
Restore some code that was wrongly dropped from the RNDIS driver, and caused interop problems observed with OpenMoko. The issue is with hardware which needs help conforming to part of the USB 2.0 spec (section 8.5.3.2); some can automagically send a ZLP in response to an unexpected IN, but not all chips will do that. We don't need to check the packet length ourselves the way earlier code did, since the UDC must already check it. But we do need to tell the UDC when it must force a short packet termination of the data stage. (Based on a patch from Aric D.

2009-03-24USB: add quirk to avoid config and interface stringsAlan Stern
Apparently the Configuration and Interface strings aren't used as often as the Vendor, Product, and Serial strings. In at least one device (a Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D joystick), attempts to read the Configuration string cause the device to stop responding to Control requests. This patch (as1226) adds a quirks flag, telling the kernel not to read a device's Configuration or Interface strings, together with a new quirk for the offending joystick.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

2009-03-23fix ptrace slownessMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected.

2009-03-22dm9000: locking bugfixDavid Brownell
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup.

2009-03-22eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headersTyler Hicks
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability.

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.

2009-03-19aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus contextJeff Moyer
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list (harness/cases/3.p). Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0). The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless" (commit abf137dd7712132ee56d5b3143c2ff61a72a5faa). Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was not found.

Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.

2009-03-19Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()Linus Torvalds
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without the dirty bits set when the page is dirty. I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve a real race, which we should close."

2009-03-19Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGSLinus Torvalds
This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie things like if (ptr + offset < ptr) which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597 for details. Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

2009-03-18sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomemMikulas Patocka
When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type "cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct resource are uninitialized. Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it, not the responsibility of request_resource functuion. After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-03-18smsc911x: reset last known duplex and carrier on openSteve Glendinning
smsc911x_phy_adjust_link is called periodically by the phy layer (as it's run in polling mode), and it only updates the hardware when it sees a change in duplex or carrier. This patch clears the last known values every time the interface is brought up, instead of only when the module is loaded. Without this patch the adjust_link function never updates the hardware after an ifconfig down; ifconfig up. On a full duplex link this causes the tx error counter to increment, even though packets are correctly transmitted, as the default MAC_CR register setting is for half duplex. The tx errors are "no carrier" errors, which should be ignored in full-duplex mode. When MAC_CR is set to "full duplex" mode they are correctly ignored by the hardware. Note that even with this patch the tx error counter can increment if packets are transmitted between "ifconfig up" and the first phy poll interval. An improved solution would use the phy interrupt with phylib, but I haven't managed to make this work 100% robustly yet.
