This fixes commit f67924cc which was commit 7359df25 upstream. When backporting the patch, there was an unused variable, and the printk type was incorrect.

Commit dd4fff23 which is commit fac8e0f5 upstream, seems to have included the sit_gro_receive function, yet it never is used, causing an obvious warning message. Hook it up to the correct sit_offload structure. Note, for 3.16, the backport of fac8e0f5 does not include this function, nor the ipip case. I'm guessing that this is not correct for 3.18, as one of the functions was included, but could be totally wrong. Cc: Jesse Gross <jesse@kernel.org> Cc: David S.

commit ba0635ff upstream. Static checkers complain that we should probably add curly braces because, from the indenting, it looks like seq_printf() should be inside the list_for_each_entry() loop. But the code is actually correct, it's just the indenting which is off. Besides fixing the indenting on seq_printf(), I did add curly braces, because generally mult-line indents should have curly braces to make them more readable.

commit 5f74f82e upstream. Devices may have limits on the number of fragments in an skb they support. Current codebase uses a constant as maximum for number of fragments one skb can hold and use. When enabling scatter/gather and running traffic with many small messages the codebase uses the maximum number of fragments and may thereby violate the max for certain devices. The patch introduces a global variable as max number of fragments. Signed-off-by:

commit 10fbd36e upstream. rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not a boolean value. Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and causes gcc to warn about the construct switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { case READ: ... case WRITE: ... that we have in a few drivers. Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316d ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by:

commit 927392d7 upstream. Linus reported the following new warning on x86 allmodconfig with GCC 5.1: > ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h: In function ‘arch_spin_lock’: > ./arch/x86/include/asm/spinlock.h:119:3: warning: implicit declaration > of function ‘__ticket_lock_spinning’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] > __ticket_lock_spinning(lock, inc.tail); > ^ This warning triggers because of these hacks in misc.h: /* * we have to be careful, because no indirections are allowed here, and * paravirt_ops is a kind of one. As it will only run in baremetal anyway, * we just keep it from happening */ #undef CONFIG_PARAVIRT #undef CONFIG_KASAN But these hacks were not updated when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS was added, and eventually (with the introduction of queued paravirt spinlocks in recent kernels) this created an invalid Kconfig combination and broke the build. So add a CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS #undef line as well. Also remove the _ASM_X86_DESC_H quirk: that undocumented quirk was originally added ages ago, in: 099e1377 ("x86: use ELF format in compressed images.") and I went back to that kernel (and fixed up the main Makefile which didn't build anymore) and checked what failure it avoided: it avoided an include file dependencies related build failure related to our old x86-platforms code. That old code is long gone, the header dependencies got cleaned up, and the build does not fail anymore with the totality of asm/desc.h included - so remove the quirk. Reported-by:

This patch fixes the indentation to reflect the actual meaning of the code, though is it actually meant to be part of the "else" clause? (I'm a compiler developer, not a kernel person). It also adds spaces around the assignment, to placate checkpatch.pl. Seen via an experimental new gcc warning I'm working on for gcc 6, -Wmisleading-indentation, using gcc r223098 adding -Werror=misleading-indentation to KBUILD_CFLAGS in Makefile.

In fact that's part of the reason for having the "thunk" code in x86 (See arch/x86/entry/thunk_{64,32}.S). [..] it adds extra frames when tracking irqs off sections, to prevent __builtin_return_address() from accessing bad areas. In fact the thunk_32.S states: 'Trampoline to trace irqs off. (otherwise CALLER_ADDR1 might crash)'." For now, __builtin_return_address() with a non-zero argument is the best we can do, and the warning is not helpful and can end up making people miss other warnings for real problems. So disable the frame-address warning on compilers that need it. Acked-by:

commit 6301939d upstream. MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro used to create aliases to device tables. Normally alias should have the same type as aliased symbol. Device tables are arrays, so they have 'struct type##_device_id[x]' types. Alias created by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() will have non-array type - 'struct type##_device_id'. This inconsistency confuses compiler, it could make a wrong assumption about variable's size which leads KASan to produce a false positive report about out of bounds access. For every global variable compiler calls __asan_register_globals() passing information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone, name ...) __asan_register_globals() poison symbols redzone to detect possible out of bounds accesses. When symbol has an alias __asan_register_globals() will be called as for symbol so for alias. Compiler determines size of variable by size of variable's type. Alias and symbol have the same address, so if alias have the wrong size part of memory that actually belongs to the symbol could be poisoned as redzone of alias symbol. By fixing type of alias symbol we will fix size of it, so __asan_register_globals() will not poison valid memory. Signed-off-by:
