clk_set_rate() is called before the CPU frequency table is

Fix by moving the clk_set_rate() after the table initialization.

Commit 835f2f5 ("staging: zcache: enable zcache to be built/loaded as
a module") introduced an incorrect handling of "zcache=" parameter.
Inside zcache_comp_init() function, zcache_comp_name variable is
checked for being empty. If not empty, the above variable is tested
for being compatible with Crypto API. Unfortunately, after that
function ends unconditionally (by the "goto out" directive) and returns:
- non-zero value if verification succeeded, wrongly indicating an error
- zero value if verification failed, falsely informing that function
zcache_comp_init() ended properly.
A solution to this problem is as following:
1. Move the "goto out" directive inside the "if (!ret)" statement
2. In case that crypto_has_comp() returned 0, change the value of ret
to non-zero before "goto out" to indicate an error.
This patch replaces an earlier one from Michal Hocko (based on report
from Cristian Rodriguez):
It also addressed the same issue but didn't fix the zcache_comp_init()
for case when the compressor data passed to "zcache=" option was invalid
or unsupported.

In adt7470_write_word_data(), which writes two bytes using
i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(), the return codes are incorrectly AND-ed
together when they should be OR-ed together.
The return code of i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() is zero for success.
The upshot is only the first byte was ever written to the hardware.
The 2nd byte was never written out.
I noticed that trying to set the fan speed limits was not working

regcache_sync_block_raw_flush() expects the address of the register after last
register that needs to be synced as its parameter. But the last call to
regcache_sync_block_raw_flush() in regcache_sync_block_raw() passes the address
of the last register in the block. This effectively always skips over the last
register in a block, even if it needs to be synced. In order to fix it increase
the address by one register.

When we try to allocate an inode, and there is a race between two
CPU's trying to grab the same inode, _and_ this inode is the last free
inode in the block group, make sure the group number is bumped before
we continue searching the rest of the block groups. Otherwise, we end
up searching the current block group twice, and we end up skipping
searching the last block group. So in the unlikely situation where
almost all of the inodes are allocated, it's possible that we will
return ENOSPC even though there might be free inodes in that last
block group.
If a transaction is rolled back, the Target Address Register (TAR), Processor
Priority Register (PPR) and Data Stream Control Register (DSCR) should be
restored to the checkpointed values before the transaction began. Any changes
to these SPRs inside the transaction should not be visible in the abort
handler.
Currently Linux doesn't save or restore the checkpointed TAR, PPR or DSCR. If
we preempt a processes inside a transaction which has modified any of these, on
process restore, that same transaction may be aborted we but we won't see the
checkpointed versions of these SPRs.
This adds checkpointed versions of these SPRs to the thread_struct and adds the
save/restore of these three SPRs to the treclaim/trechkpt code.
Without this if any of these SPRs are modified during a transaction, users may
incorrectly see a speculated SPR value even if the transaction is aborted.

POWER8 allows the DSCR to be accessed directly from userspace via a new SPR
number 0x3 (Rather than 0x11. DSCR SPR number 0x11 is still used on POWER8 but
like POWER7, is only accessible in HV and OS modes). Currently, we allow this
by setting H/FSCR DSCR bit on boot.
Unfortunately this doesn't work, as the kernel needs to see the DSCR change so
that it knows to no longer restore the system wide version of DSCR on context
switch (ie. to set thread.dscr_inherit).
This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially. If a process then accesses the DSCR
(via SPR 0x3), it'll trap into the kernel where we set thread.dscr_inherit in
facility_unavailable_exception().
We also change _switch() so that we set or clear the H/FSCR DSCR bit based on
the thread.dscr_inherit.

usbnet doesn't support yet SG, so drivers should not advertise SG or TSO
capabilities, as they allow TCP stack to build large TSO packets that
need to be linearized and might use order-5 pages.
This adds an extra copy overhead and possible allocation failures.
Current code ignore skb_linearize() return code so crashes are even
possible.
Best is to not pretend SG/TSO is supported, and add this again when/if
usbnet really supports SG for devices who could get a performance gain.

Recently we added an early quirk to detect 5500/5520 chipsets
with early revisions that had problems with irq draining with
interrupt remapping enabled:
unshare_userns(new_cred) does *new_cred = prepare_creds() before
create_user_ns() which can fail. However, the caller expects that
it doesn't need to take care of new_cred if unshare_userns() fails.
We could change the single caller, sys_unshare(), but I think it
would be more clean to avoid the side effects on failure, so with
this patch unshare_userns() does put_cred() itself and initializes
*new_cred only if create_user_ns() succeeeds.
I got 1. It should be 0, the reason is copy_workqueue_attrs() called
in apply_workqueue_attrs() doesn't copy no_numa field.
Fix it by making copy_workqueue_attrs() copy ->no_numa too. This
would also make get_unbound_pool() set a pool's ->no_numa attribute
according to the workqueue attributes used when the pool was created.
While harmelss, as ->no_numa isn't a pool attribute, this is a bit
confusing. Clear it explicitly.
The find_next_bit_left function is broken if used with an offset which

Several users reported this crash of NULL pointer or general protection,
the story is that we add a rbtree for speedup ulist iteration, and we
use krealloc() to address ulist growth, and krealloc() use memcpy to copy
old data to new memory area, so it's OK for an array as it doesn't use
pointers while it's not OK for a rbtree as it uses pointers.
So krealloc() will mess up our rbtree and it ends up with crash.

This can be solved by allocating a scatterlist for each request, that

- The bus has space for all desired MMIO resources, including optional
space for SR-IOV devices
- We attempt to allocate I/O port space, but it fails because the bus
has no I/O space
- Because of the I/O allocation failure, we retry MMIO allocation,
requesting only the required space, without the optional SR-IOV space
This means we don't allocate the optional SR-IOV space, even though we
could.
This is related to 0c5be0cb0e ("PCI: Retry on IORESOURCE_IO type
allocations").
This patch changes how we handle allocation failures. We will now retry
allocation of only the resource type that failed. If MMIO allocation
fails, we'll retry only MMIO allocation. If I/O port allocation fails,
we'll retry only I/O port allocation.
Hot-removing a device with SR-IOV enabled causes a null pointer dereference
in v3.9 and v3.10.
This is a regression caused by ba518e3c17 ("PCI: pciehp: Iterate over all
devices in slot, not functions 0-7"). When we iterate over the
bus->devices list, we first remove the PF, which also removes all the VFs
from the list. Then the list iterator blows up because more than just the
current entry was removed from the list.
ac205b7bb7 ("PCI: make sriov work with hotplug remove") works around a
similar problem in pci_stop_bus_devices() by iterating over the list in
reverse, so the VFs are stopped and removed from the list first, before the
PF.
This patch changes pciehp_unconfigure_device() to iterate over the list in
reverse, too.
Revert commit 69a37bea (cpuidle: Quickly notice prediction failure for
repeat mode), because it has been identified as the source of a
significant performance regression in v3.8 and later as explained by
Jeremy Eder:
We believe we've identified a particular commit to the cpuidle code
that seems to be impacting performance of variety of workloads.
The simplest way to reproduce is using netperf TCP_RR test, so
we're using that, on a pair of Sandy Bridge based servers. We also
have data from a large database setup where performance is also
measurably/positively impacted, though that test data isn't easily
share-able.
Included below are test results from 3 test kernels:
kernel reverts
-----------------------------------------------------------
1) vanilla upstream (no reverts)
The below data are histograms representing the %c0 residency @
1-second sample rates (using turbostat), while under netperf test.
- If you look at the first 4 histograms, you can see %c0 residency
almost entirely in the 30,40% bin.
- The last pair, which reverts 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4,
shows %c0 in the 80,90,100% bins.
Below each kernel name are netperf TCP_RR trans/s numbers for the
particular kernel that can be disclosed publicly, comparing the 3
test kernels. We ran a 4th test with the vanilla kernel where
we've also set /dev/cpu_dma_latency=0 to show overall impact
boosting single-threaded TCP_RR performance over 11% above
baseline.
These results demonstrate gaining back the tendency of the CPU to
stay in more responsive, performant C-states (and thus yield
measurably better performance), by reverting commit 69a37beabf1f0a6705c08e879bdd5d82ff6486c4.

Since cpufreq_cpu_put() called by __cpufreq_remove_dev() drops the
driver module refcount, __cpufreq_remove_dev() causes that refcount
to become negative for the cpufreq driver after a suspend/resume
cycle.
This is not the only bad thing that happens there, however, because
kobject_put() should only be called for the policy kobject at this
point if the CPU is not the last one for that policy.
Namely, if the given CPU is the last one for that policy, the
policy kobject's refcount should be 1 at this point, as set by
cpufreq_add_dev_interface(), and only needs to be dropped once for
the kobject to go away. This actually happens under the cpu == 1
check, so it need not be done before by cpufreq_cpu_put().
On the other hand, if the given CPU is not the last one for that
policy, this means that cpufreq_add_policy_cpu() has been called
at least once for that policy and cpufreq_cpu_get() has been
called for it too. To balance that cpufreq_cpu_get(), we need to
call cpufreq_cpu_put() in that case.
Thus, to fix the described problem and keep the reference
counters balanced in both cases, move the cpufreq_cpu_get() call
in __cpufreq_remove_dev() to the code path executed only for
CPUs that share the policy with other CPUs.

The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package.
According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member
of that package should be "Revision". However, the current ACPI
battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should
be the second member. This causes the result of _BIX return data
parsing to be incorrect.
Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct
acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to
extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

Function valid_io_request() should verify the entire request are within
the zram device address range. Otherwise it may cause invalid memory
access when accessing/modifying zram->meta->table[index] because the
'index' is out of range. Then it may access non-exist memory, randomly
modify memory belong to other subsystems, which is hard to track down.

zram_slot_free_notify() is free-running without any protection from
concurrent operations. So there are race conditions between
zram_bvec_read()/zram_bvec_write() and zram_slot_free_notify(),
and possible consequences include:
1) Trigger BUG_ON(!handle) on zram_bvec_write() side.
2) Access to freed pages on zram_bvec_read() side.
3) Break some fields (bad_compress, good_compress, pages_stored)
in zram->stats if the swap layer makes concurrently call to
zram_slot_free_notify().
So enhance zram_slot_free_notify() to acquire writer lock on zram->lock
before calling zram_free_page().

Memory for zram->disk object may have already been freed after returning
from destroy_device(zram), then it's unsafe for zram_reset_device(zram)
to access zram->disk again.
We can't solve this bug by flipping the order of destroy_device(zram)
and zram_reset_device(zram), that will cause deadlock issues to the
zram sysfs handler.
So fix it by holding an extra reference to zram->disk before calling
destroy_device(zram).

This patch fixes an issue wherein association would fail on P2P
interfaces. This happened because we are checking priv->mode
against NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION. While this check is correct for
infrastructure stations, it would fail P2P clients for which mode
is NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT.
Better check would be bss_role which has only 2 values: STA/AP.

Since we clear QUEUE_STARTED in rt2x00queue_stop_queue(), following
call to rt2x00queue_pause_queue() reduce to noop, i.e we do not
stop queue in mac80211.
To fix that introduce rt2x00queue_pause_queue_nocheck() function,
which will stop queue in mac80211 directly.
Note that rt2x00_start_queue() explicitly set QUEUE_PAUSED bit.
Note also that reordering operations i.e. first call to
rt2x00queue_pause_queue() and then clear QUEUE_STARTED bit, will race
with rt2x00queue_unpause_queue(), so calling ieee80211_stop_queue()
directly is the only available solution to fix the problem without
major rework.

PTR_ERR() returns a signed long type value which is limited by IS_ERR(),
it must be a negative number whose range is [-MAX_ERRNO, 0).
The bug here returns negative numbers as error codes, then check it by
"if (ret < 0)", but -PTR_ERR() is actually positive. The wrong use here
leads to failure as below, even panic.

interface in the driver that we did not add before.
As reported in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60514,
the station loop never initialises 'sinfo' and therefore adds up
a stack values, leaking stack information (the number of times it
adds values is easily obtained another way.)
Fix this by initialising the sinfo for each station to add.

The duplicate retransmission detection code in mac80211
erroneously attempts to do the check for every frame,
even frames that don't have a sequence control field or
that don't use it (QoS-Null frames.)
This is problematic because it causes the code to access
data beyond the end of the SKB and depending on the data
there will drop packets erroneously.
Correct the code to not do duplicate detection for such
frames.
I found this error while testing AP powersave, it lead
to retransmitted PS-Poll frames being dropped entirely
as the data beyond the end of the SKB was always zero.

Due to a firmware bug, it crashes when the beacon interval
is smaller than 16. Avoid this by refusing the station state
change creating the AP station, causing mac80211 to abandon
the attempt to connect to the AP, and eventually wpa_s to
blacklist it.
