2009-03-24platform driver: fix incorrect use of 'platform_bus_type' with 'struct ↵Ming Lei
device_driver' This patch fixes the bug reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681. "Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong, since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver' to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early). The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann) Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Acked-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Acked-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-03-16Rationalize fasync return valuesJonathan Corbet
Most fasync implementations do something like: return fasync_helper(...); But fasync_helper() will return a positive value at times - a feature used in at least one place. Thus, a number of other drivers do: err = fasync_helper(...); if (err < 0) return err; return 0; In the interests of consistency and more concise code, it makes sense to map positive return values onto zero where ->fasync() is called.

2009-03-16Use f_lock to protect f_flagsJonathan Corbet
Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of longstanding (if microscopic) races.

2009-03-11hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency on pseries backendsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would happen if not doing so. However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

2009-02-22hwrng: timeriomem - New driverAlexander Clouter
Some hardware platforms, the TS-7800[1] is one for example, can supply the kernel with an entropy source, albeit a slow one for TS-7800 users, by just reading a particular IO address. This source must not be read above a certain rate otherwise the quality suffers. The driver is then hooked into by calling platform_device_(register|add|del) passing a structure similar to: ------ static struct timeriomem_rng_data ts78xx_ts_rng_data = { .address = (u32 *__iomem) TS_RNG, .period = 1000000, /* one second */ }; static struct platform_device ts78xx_ts_rng_device = { .name = "timeriomem_rng", .id = -1, .dev = { .platform_data = &ts78xx_ts_rng_data, }, .num_resources = 0, }; ------ [1] http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7800 Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

2009-01-31Fix memory corruption in console selectionMikulas Patocka
Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection. The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes one more character. This one more character was added to the allocated size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier. This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example a frame line). When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported. When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.

2009-01-27tty_open can return to userspace holding tty_mutexEric Paris
__tty_open could return (to userspace) holding the tty_mutex thanks to a regression introduced by 4a2b5fddd53b80efcb3266ee36e23b8de28e761a ("Move tty lookup/reopen to caller"). This was found by bisecting an fsfuzzer problem. Admittedly I have no idea how it managed to tickle this 100% reliably, but it is clearly a regression and when hit leaves the box in a completely unusable state. This patch lets the fsfuzzer test complete every time.

2009-01-16hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latencyHendrik Brueckner
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting. For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0, because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c). For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls might sleep due to mutex_lock.
