commit 0720a06a7518c9d0c0125bd5d1f3b6264c55c3dd upstream.

The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved.  Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.

This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called.  A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.

The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations.  But that's a subject for a
different patch.

<content type='text'>
commit b1a6650406875b9097a032eed89af50682fe1160 upstream.

When loopdev is built as module and we pass an invalid parameter,
loop_init() will return directly without deregister misc device, which
will cause an oops when insert loop module next time because we left some
garbage in the misc device list.

Test case:
sudo modprobe loop max_part=1024
(failed due to invalid parameter)
sudo modprobe loop
(oops)

Clean up nicely to avoid such oops.

commit 5370019dc2d2c2ff90e95d181468071362934f3a upstream.

bd_mutex and lo_ctl_mutex can be held in different order.

Path #1:

blkdev_open
 blkdev_get
  __blkdev_get (hold bd_mutex)
   lo_open (hold lo_ctl_mutex)

Path #2:

blkdev_ioctl
 lo_ioctl (hold lo_ctl_mutex)
  lo_set_capacity (hold bd_mutex)

Lockdep does not report it, because path #2 actually holds a subclass of
lo_ctl_mutex.  This subclass seems creep into the code by mistake.  The
patch author actually just mentioned it in the changelog, see commit
f028f3b2 ("loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()"), also see:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=123806169129727&amp;w=2

Path #2 hold bd_mutex to call bd_set_size(), I've protected it
with i_mutex in a previous patch, so drop bd_mutex at this site.

<title>xen-netfront: delay gARP until backend switches to Connected</title>

<id>urn:sha1:29db446a5e94c63403210afc28b7dc0a101562e3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 08e34eb14fe4cfd934b5c169a7682a969457c4ea upstream.

After a guest is live migrated, the xen-netfront driver emits a gratuitous
ARP message, so that networking hardware on the target host's subnet can
take notice, and public routing to the guest is re-established. However,
if the packet appears on the backend interface before the backend is added
to the target host's bridge, the packet is lost, and the migrated guest's
peers become unable to talk to the guest.

A sufficient two-parts condition to prevent the above is:

(1) ensure that the backend only moves to Connected xenbus state after its
hotplug scripts completed, ie. the netback interface got added to the
bridge; and

(2) ensure the frontend only queues the gARP when it sees the backend move
to Connected.

These two together provide complete ordering. Sub-condition (1) is already
satisfied by commit f942dc2552b8 in Linus' tree, based on commit
6b0b80ca7165 from [1].

In general, the full condition is sufficient, not necessary, because,
according to [2], live migration has been working for a long time without
satisfying sub-condition (2). However, after 6b0b80ca7165 was backported
to the RHEL-5 host to ensure (1), (2) still proved necessary in the RHEL-6
guest. This patch intends to provide (2) for upstream.

The Reviewed-by line comes from [3].

commit d3b9d7a9051d7024a93c76a84b2f84b3b66ad6d5 upstream.

A USB 3.0 device can transition to the Inactive state if a U1 or U2 exit
transition fails.  The current code in hub_events simply issues a warm
reset, but does not call any pre-reset or post-reset driver methods (or
unbind/rebind drivers without them).  Therefore the drivers won't know
their device has just been reset.

hub_events should instead call usb_reset_device.  This means
hub_port_reset now needs to figure out whether it should issue a warm
reset or a hot reset.

Remove the FIXME note about needing disconnect() for a NOTATTACHED
device.  This patch fixes that.

<title>USB: Rip out recursive call on warm port reset.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:52cbf32ab420a8c4a43a9d5db2fb5ce917cd3205</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a24a6078754f28528bc91e7e7b3e6ae86bd936d8 upstream.

When a hot reset fails on a USB 3.0 port, the current port reset code
recursively calls hub_port_reset inside hub_port_wait_reset.  This isn't
ideal, since we should avoid recursive calls in the kernel, and it also
doesn't allow us to issue multiple warm resets on reset failures.

Rip out the recursive call.  Instead, add code to hub_port_reset to
issue a warm reset if the hot reset fails, and try multiple warm resets
before giving up on the port.

In hub_port_wait_reset, remove the recursive call and re-indent.  The
code is basically the same, except:

1. It bails out early if the port has transitioned to Inactive or
Compliance Mode after the reset completed.

2. It doesn't consider a connect status change to be a failed reset.  If
multiple warm resets needed to be issued, the connect status may have
changed, so we need to ignore that and look at the port link state
instead.  hub_port_reset will now do that.

3. It unconditionally sets udev-&gt;speed on all types of successful
resets.  The old recursive code would set the port speed when the second
hub_port_reset returned.

The old code did not handle connected devices needing a warm reset well.
There were only two situations that the old code handled correctly: an
empty port needing a warm reset, and a hot reset that migrated to a warm
reset.

When an empty port needed a warm reset, hub_port_reset was called with
the warm variable set.  The code in hub_port_finish_reset would skip
telling the USB core and the xHC host that the device was reset, because
otherwise that would result in a NULL pointer dereference.

When a USB 3.0 device reset migrated to a warm reset, the recursive call
made the call stack look like this:

hub_port_reset(warm = false)
        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = false)
                hub_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_wait_port_reset(warm = true)
                        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = true)
                        (return up the call stack to the first wait)

        hub_port_finish_reset(warm = false)

The old code didn't want to notify the USB core or the xHC host of device reset
twice, so it only did it in the second call to hub_port_finish_reset,
when warm was set to false.  This was necessary because
before patch two ("USB: Ignore xHCI Reset Device status."), the USB core
would pay attention to the xHC Reset Device command error status, and
the second call would always fail.

Now that we no longer have the recursive call, and warm can change from
false to true in hub_port_reset, we need to have hub_port_finish_reset
unconditionally notify the USB core and the xHC of the device reset.

In hub_port_finish_reset, unconditionally clear the connect status
change (CSC) bit for USB 3.0 hubs when the port reset is done.  If we
had to issue multiple warm resets for a device, that bit may have been
set if the device went into SS.Inactive and then was successfully warm
reset.

commit 2d4fa940f99663c82ba55b2244638833b388e4e2 upstream.

The next patch will refactor the hub port code to rip out the recursive
call to hub_port_reset on a failed hot reset.  In preparation for that,
make sure all code paths can deal with being called with a NULL udev.
The usb_device will not be valid if warm reset was issued because a port
transitioned to the Inactive or Compliance Mode on a device connect.

This patch should have no effect on current behavior.

<content type='text'>
commit 0fe51aa5eee51db7c7ecd201d42a977ad79c58b6 upstream.

The EHCI host controller needs to prevent EHCI initialization when the
UHCI or OHCI companion controller is in the middle of a port reset.  It
uses ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem to do this.  USB 3.0 hubs can't be under
an EHCI host controller, so it makes no sense to down the semaphore for
USB 3.0 hubs.  It also makes the warm port reset code more complex.

Don't down ehci_cf_port_reset_rwsem for USB 3.0 hubs.
