commit 822bfa51ce44f2c63c300fdb76dc99c4d5a5ca9f upstream.

"nframes" comes from the user and "nframes * CD_FRAMESIZE_RAW" can wrap
on 32 bit systems.  That would have been ok if we used the same wrapped
value for the copy, but we use a shifted value.  We should just use the
checked version of copy_to_user() because it's not going to make a
difference to the speed.

commit c1c1a3d012fe5e82a9a025fb4b5a4f8ee67a53f6 upstream.

By hwmon sysfs interface convention, setting pwm_enable to zero sets a fan
to full speed.  In the f75375s driver, this need be done by enabling
manual fan control, plus duty mode for the F875387 chip, and then setting
the maximum duty cycle.  Fix a bug where the two necessary register writes
were swapped, effectively discarding the setting to full-speed.

<title>imon: don't wedge hardware after early callbacks</title>

commit 8791d63af0cf113725ae4cb8cba9492814c59a93 upstream.

This patch is just a minor update to one titled "imon: Input from ffdc
device type ignored" from Corinna Vinschen. An earlier patch to prevent
an oops when we got early callbacks also has the nasty side-effect of
wedging imon hardware, as we don't acknowledge the urb. Rework the check
slightly here to bypass processing the packet, as the driver isn't yet
fully initialized, but still acknowlege the urb and submit a new rx_urb.
Do this for both interfaces -- irrelevant for ffdc hardware, but
relevant for newer hardware, though newer hardware doesn't spew the
constant stream of data as soon as the hardware is initialized like the
older ffdc devices, so they'd be less likely to trigger this anyway...

Tested with both an ffdc device and an 0042 device.

commit a7762b10c12a70c5dbf2253142764b728ac88c3a upstream.

In the case of hotplug enabled devices (PCMCIA/PCIeC) the removal of the
hardware can cause an infinite loop in the common sja1000 isr.

Use the already retrieved status register to indicate a possible hardware
removal and double check by reading the mode register in sja1000_is_absent.

<title>davinci_emac: Do not free all rx dma descriptors during init</title>

commit 5d69703263d588dbb03f4e57091afd8942d96e6d upstream.

This patch fixes a regression that was introduced by

commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
davinci_emac: Add Carrier Link OK check in Davinci RX Handler

Said commit adds a check whether the carrier link is ok. If the link is
not ok, the skb is freed and no new dma descriptor added to the rx dma
channel. This causes trouble during initialization when the carrier
status has not yet been updated. If a lot of packets are received while
netif_carrier_ok returns false, all dma descriptors are freed and the
rx dma transfer is stopped.

The bug occurs when the board is connected to a network with lots of
traffic and the ifconfig down/up is done, e.g., when reconfiguring
the interface with DHCP.

The bug can be reproduced by flood pinging the davinci board while doing
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
on the board.

After that, the rx path stops working and the overrun value reported
by ifconfig is counting up.

This patch reverts commit 0a5f38467765ee15478db90d81e40c269c8dda20
and instead issues warnings only if cpdma_chan_submit returns -ENOMEM.

commit fea6d607e154cf96ab22254ccb48addfd43d4cb5 upstream.

This patch (as1520) fixes a bug in the SCSI layer's power management
implementation.

LUN scanning can be carried out asynchronously in do_scan_async(), and
sd uses an asynchronous thread for the time-consuming parts of disk
probing in sd_probe_async().  Currently nothing coordinates these
async threads with system sleep transitions; they can and do attempt
to continue scanning/probing SCSI devices even after the host adapter
has been suspended.  As one might expect, the outcome is not ideal.

This is what the "prepare" stage of system suspend was created for.
After the prepare callback has been called for a host, target, or
device, drivers are not allowed to register any children underneath
them.  Currently the SCSI prepare callback is not implemented; this
patch rectifies that omission.

For SCSI hosts, the prepare routine calls scsi_complete_async_scans()
to wait until async scanning is finished.  It might be slightly more
efficient to wait only until the host in question has been scanned,
but there's currently no way to do that.  Besides, during a sleep
transition we will ultimately have to wait until all the host scanning
has finished anyway.

For SCSI devices, the prepare routine calls async_synchronize_full()
to wait until sd probing is finished.  The routine does nothing for
SCSI targets, because asynchronous target scanning is done only as
part of host scanning.

commit 267a6ad4aefaafbde607804c60945bcf97f91c1b upstream.

In do_scan_async(), calling scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) may reference
freed shost, and cause Posison overwitten warning.
Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just
when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called
in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the
refcount of shost-&gt;shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects),
at this point, if references shost again, system will show following
warning msg.

To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost,
put it just before scsi_host_put() in function
scsi_finish_async_scan().

commit 267a6ad4aefaafbde607804c60945bcf97f91c1b upstream.

In do_scan_async(), calling scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) may reference
freed shost, and cause Posison overwitten warning.
Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just
when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called
in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the
refcount of shost-&gt;shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects),
at this point, if references shost again, system will show following
warning msg.

To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost,
put it just before scsi_host_put() in function
scsi_finish_async_scan().

<title>ath9k: stop on rates with idx -1 in ath9k rate control's .tx_status</title>

commit 2504a6423b9ab4c36df78227055995644de19edb upstream.

Rate control algorithms are supposed to stop processing when they
encounter a rate with the index -1.  Checking for rate-&gt;count not being
zero is not enough.

Allowing a rate with negative index leads to memory corruption in
ath_debug_stat_rc().

One consequence of the bug is discussed at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768639
