commit eb83bbf5 upstream. After reports of poor performance, a review of the latest vendor driver (rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007) for RTL8187L devices was undertaken. A difference was found in the code used to index the OFDM power tables. When the Linux driver was changed, my unit works at a much greater range than before. I think this fixes Bugzilla #12380 and has been tested by at least two other users. Signed-off-by:

commit 7e86c0e6 upstream. On the Asus Xonar D2 and D2X models, the SPI chip select signal for the fourth DAC shares its pin with the serial clock for the EEPROM that contains the PCI subdevice ID values. It appears that when DAC registers are written and some other unknown conditions occur (probably noise on the EEPROM's chip select line), the EEPROM gets overwritten with garbage, which makes it impossible to properly detect the card later. Therefore, we better avoid DAC register writes and make sure that the driver works with the DAC's registers' default values. Consequently, the sample format is now I2S instead of left-justified (no user-visible change), and the DAC's volume/mute registers cannot be used anymore (volume changes are now done by the software volume plugin).

commit a229fc61 upstream. bsg.h in current form is perfectly suitable for user-mode consumption. It is needed together with scsi/sg.h for applications that want to interface with the bsg driver. Currently the few projects that use it would copy it over into the projects. But that is not acceptable for projects that need to provide source and devel packages for distros. This should also be submitted to stable 2.6.28 and 2.6.27 since bsg had a stable API since these Kernels and distro users will need the header for these kernels a swell Signed-off-by:

commit 9df04e1f upstream. Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior. Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches, we have: LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user) 512MB ~178000 1GB ~356000 2GB ~712000 A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K watches, socket buffers math teaches us.

commit 501950d8 upstream. This patch (as1198) fixes a conceptual bug: Somewhere along the line we managed to confuse USB class devices with USB char devices. As a result, the code to send a disconnect signal to userspace would not be built if both CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS and CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS were disabled. The usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() routine has been renamed to usbdev_remove() and it is now called whenever any USB device is removed, not just when a class device is unregistered. The notifier registration and unregistration calls are no longer conditionally compiled. And since the common removal code will always be called as part of the char device interface, there's no need to call it again as part of the usbfs interface; thus the invocation of usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() has been taken out of usbfs_remove_device().

commit 9a4bd29f upstream. Despite the fact that cloned rpc clients won't have the cl_autobind flag set, they may still find themselves calling rpcb_getport_async(). For this to happen, it suffices for a _parent_ rpc_clnt to use autobinding, in which case any clone may find itself triggering the !xprt_bound() case in call_bind(). The correct fix for this is to walk back up the tree of cloned rpc clients, in order to find the parent that 'owns' the transport, either because it has clnt->cl_autobind set, or because it originally created the transport...

commit 70b66cbf upstream. init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3 complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though this function is never called on those systems. This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms. Thanks to Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> for detailed analysis of the problem.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl) which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct. union { struct { unsigned long private; struct address_space *mapping; }; spinlock_t ptl; struct kmem_cache *slab; struct page *first_page; }; Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks. But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping. The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free path __pte_free_tlb() does. It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

commit 3632dee2 upstream. If userspace supplies an invalid pointer to a read() of an inotify instance, the inotify device's event list mutex is unlocked twice. This causes an unbalance which effectively leaves the data structure unprotected, and we can trigger oopses by accessing the inotify instance from different tasks concurrently.

commit 4f5a99d6 upstream. Remove WB_SYNC_HOLD. The primary motiviation is the design of my anti-starvation code for fsync. It requires taking an inode lock over the sync operation, so we could run into lock ordering problems with multiple inodes. It is possible to take a single global lock to solve the ordering problem, but then that would prevent a future nice implementation of "sync multiple inodes" based on lock order via inode address. Seems like a backward step to remove this, but actually it is busted anyway: we can't use the inode lists for data integrity wait: an inode can be taken off the dirty lists but still be under writeback. In order to satisfy data integrity semantics, we should wait for it to finish writeback, but if we only search the dirty lists, we'll miss it. It would be possible to have a "writeback" list, for sys_sync, I suppose. But why complicate things by prematurely optimise? For unmounting, we could avoid the "livelock avoidance" code, which would be easier, but again premature IMO. Fixing the existing data integrity problem will come next. Signed-off-by:

commit 48b47c56 upstream. Direct IO can invalidate and sync a lot of pagecache pages in the mapping. A 4K direct IO will actually try to sync and/or invalidate the pagecache of the entire file, for example (which might be many GB or TB large). Improve this by doing range syncs. Also, memory no longer has to be unmapped to catch the dirty bits for syncing, as dirty bits would remain coherent due to dirty mmap accounting. This fixes the immediate DM deadlocks when doing direct IO reads to block device with a mounted filesystem, if only by papering over the problem somewhat rather than addressing the fsync starvation cases.

commit ee53a891 upstream. Chris Mason notices do_sync_mapping_range didn't actually ask for data integrity writeout. Unfortunately, it is advertised as being usable for data integrity operations. This is a data integrity bug. Signed-off-by:

commit 82fd1a9a upstream. Now that we have the early-termination logic in place, it makes sense to bail out early in all other cases where done is set to 1. Signed-off-by:
