<title>random32: rename random32 to prandom</title>

<id>7f7b3145889da64644f04f026101f33e1702357f</id>
<content type='text'>
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

  void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
  u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
  void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
  				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
  u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
  				/* rename from prandom32() */

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.

As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.

Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

<title>SCSI: mpt2sas : Fix for memory allocation error for large host credits</title>

commit aff132d95ffe14eca96cab90597cdd010b457af7 upstream.

The amount of memory required for tracking chain buffers is rather
large, and when the host credit count is big, memory allocation
failure occurs inside __get_free_pages.

The fix is to limit the number of chains to 100,000.  In addition,
the number of host credits is limited to 30,000 IOs. However this
limitation can be overridden this using the command line option
max_queue_depth.  The algorithm for calculating the
reply_post_queue_depth is changed so that it is equal to
(reply_free_queue_depth + 16), previously it was (reply_free_queue_depth * 2).

commit 30c43282f3d347f47f9e05199d2b14f56f3f2837 upstream.

Added code to release the spinlock that is used to protect the
raid device list before calling a function that can block. The
blocking was causing a reschedule, and subsequently it is tried
to acquire the same lock, resulting in a panic (NMI Watchdog
detecting a CPU lockup).

commit 9ae89b0296e275d5a556068b40b7c2557a556a85 upstream.

mpt2sas_base_detach() call was removed from _scsih_remove() while
doing some code shuffling.  Mainly when we work on adding code for
scsih_shutdown().  I have added back mpt2sas_base_detach() which will
get callled from _scsih_remove().

Upstrem commit: 911ae9434f83e7355d343f6c2be3ef5b00ea7aed

There's a bug in the MSIX backup and restore routines that cause a crash on
non-x86 (direct access to PCI space not via read/write).  These routines are
unnecessary and were removed by the above commit, so also remove them from
stable to fix the crash.

commit 745718132c3c7cac98a622b610e239dcd5217f71 upstream.

When we tear down a device we try to flush all outstanding
commands in scsi_free_queue(). However the check in
scsi_request_fn() is imperfect as it only signals that
we _might start_ aborting commands, not that we've actually
aborted some.
So move the printk inside the scsi_kill_request function,
this will also give us a hint about which commands are aborted.

<title>aacraid: controller hangs if kernel uses non-default ASPM policy</title>

commit cf16123c9c8e346ed1dd171295a678d77648d7f8 upstream.

Aacraid controller can hang on some nodes if kernel uses non-default
(powersave) ASPM policy.  Controller hangs shortly after successful load and
hardware detection. Scsi error handler detects this hang and tries to restart
hardware but it does not help.

Initially it was noticed on RHEL6-based openVZ kernel after backporting
aacraid driver from mainline (RHEL6 kernel with original driver works well)
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2043

This issue happens because default ASPM policy was changed in Red Hat
kernels. Therefore guys from Red Hat have noticed this problem long time ago:
on Fedora 12
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540478
on Fedora 14
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679385

In RHEL6 kernel this issue was fixed, ASPM was disabled in aacraid driver. In
kernel changelog I've found that seems it was done by Matthew Garrett: -
[scsi] aacraid: Disable ASPM by default (Matthew Garrett) [599735]

However seems this patch was not submitted to mainline. I've reproduced this
issue on vanilla 3.1.0 kernel booted with "pcie_aspm.policy=powersave" option,
So I believe it makes sense to do it now.

circumstances, so:]

In RHEL6 kernel this issue was fixed, ASPM was disabled in aacraid driver. In
kernel changelog I've found that seems it was done by Matthew Garrett: -
[scsi] aacraid: Disable ASPM by default (Matthew Garrett) [599735]

However seems this patch was not submitted to mainline. I've reproduced this
issue on vanilla 3.1.0 kernel booted with "pcie_aspm.policy=powersave" option,
So I believe it makes sense to do it now.

[mjg: Checking the Windows drivers indicates that they disable ASPM under all
circumstances, so:]
