When hiddev_disconnect() runs with chardev open, it will proceed with usbhid_close(). When userspace in parallel runs the hiddev_release(), it sees !hiddev->exists (as it has been already set so by hiddev_disconnect()) and kfrees hiddev while hiddev_disconnect() hasn't finished yet. Serialize the access to hiddev->exists and hiddev->open by existancelock. Reported-by:

I've got a Tivo Slide bluetooth remote/dongle, which uses a fair number of hid usages that aren't currently mapped in hid-input.c. I'd initially written additions to hid-input.c with just this device in mind, including some bits that were specific to the device. This go around, I'm looking at adding/correcting as many generic HID usages from the HID Usage Tables, version 1.12, as I can -- which also serves to enable all but four of the buttons on the Tivo Slide remote[*]. Outside of fixing the obviously incorrect mapping of 0xc 0x45 from KEY_RADIO to KEY_RIGHT, and making use of the new KEY_IMAGES (just added in 2.6.39-rc4) for AL Image Browser instead of KEY_MEDIA, these are purely additions, and thus should have no negative impact on any already functional HID devices. Most of the added mappings seemed to be perfectly logical to me, but there were a few that were mapped on more of an "I think this makes the most sense" basis. [*] I'll handle the last four tivo buttons via an hid-tivo.c follow-up. CC: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> CC: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by:

startup_profile and actual_profile didn't work as expected. Also as the actual profile is persistent, the distinction between the two was ambiguous, so both use the same code now and startup_profile has been deprecated. Also the event is now propagated through chardev. The userland tool has been updated to support this change. Signed-off-by:

After that commit, pci_hotplug_io_size is changed to additional_io_size from minium size. So it will not go through resource_size(res) != 0 path, and will not be reset. The root cause is: pci_bridge_check_ranges will set RESOURCE_IO flag for pci bridge, and later if children do not need IO resource. those bridge resources will not need to be allocated. but flags is still there. that will confuse the the pci_enable_bridges later. related code: static void assign_requested_resources_sorted(struct resource_list *head, struct resource_list_x *fail_head) { struct resource *res; struct resource_list *list; int idx; for (list = head->next; list; list = list->next) { res = list->res; idx = res - &list->dev->resource[0]; if (resource_size(res) && pci_assign_resource(list->dev, idx)) { ... reset_resource(res); } } } At last, We have to clear the flags in pbus_size_mem/io when requested size == 0 and !add_head. becasue this case it will not go through adjust_resources_sorted(). Just make size1 = size0 when !add_head. it will make flags get cleared. At the same time when requested size == 0, add_size != 0, will still have in head and add_list. because we do not clear the flags for it. After this, we will get right result: pci 0000:c0:03.0: PCI bridge to [bus c4-c9] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [io disabled] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xf0000000-0xf00fffff] pci 0000:c0:03.0: bridge window [mem 0xfc180000000-0xfc197ffffff 64bit pref] pci 0000:c0:03.0: enabling bus mastering pci 0000:c0:03.0: setting latency timer to 64 pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: setting latency timer to 64 pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: irq 160 for MSI/MSI-X pcieport 0000:c0:03.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt pci 0000:c4:00.0: Signaling PME through PCIe PME interrupt pcie_pme 0000:c0:03.0:pcie01: service driver pcie_pme loaded aer 0000:c0:03.0:pcie02: service driver aer loaded pciehp 0000:c0:03.0:pcie04: Hotplug Controller: v3: more simple fix. also fix one typo in pbus_size_mem Signed-off-by:

During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO gets out of sync with netdev->features. This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding setup and is hitting many VMware users. Simplified call sequence: 1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true. 2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled, so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features. 3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though netdev->features shows it's disabled. Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too. The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal in net-next, see commit a0d2730c "net: vmxnet3: convert to hw_features". Patch applies to 2.6.37 / 2.6.38 and 2.6.39-rc6. Please CC: comments. Signed-off-by:

FS_COW_FL and FS_NOCOW_FL were newly introduced to control per file COW in btrfs, but FS_NOCOW_FL is sufficient. The fact is we don't have corresponding BTRFS_INODE_COW flag. COW is default, and FS_NOCOW_FL can be used to switch off COW for a single file. If we mount btrfs with nodatacow, a newly created file will be set with the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. So to turn on COW for it, we can just clear the FS_NOCOW_FL flag. Signed-off-by:

Hugh Dickins authored
Shame on me! Commit b1dea800 "tmpfs: fix race between umount and writepage" fixed the advertized race, but introduced another: as even its comment makes clear, we cannot safely rely on a peek at list_empty() while holding no lock - until info->swapped is set, shmem_unuse_inode() may delete any formerly-swapped inode from the shmem_swaplist, which in this case would leave a swap area impossible to swapoff. Although I don't relish taking the mutex every time, I don't care much for the alternatives either; and at least the peek at list_empty() in shmem_evict_inode() (a hotter path since most inodes would never have been swapped) remains safe, because we already truncated the whole file.

This moves the if (num_registered_fb == FB_MAX) return -ENXIO; check _AFTER_ the call to do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() as this would (now in a safe way) allow a native driver to replace the conflicting one even if all slots in registered_fb[] are taken. This also prevents unregistering a framebuffer that is no longer registered (vga16f will unregister at module unload time even if the frame buffer had been unregistered earlier due to being found conflicting).

When a register_framebuffer() call results in us removing old conflicting framebuffers, the new registration_lock doesn't protect that situation. And we can't just add the same locking to the function, because these functions call each other: register_framebuffer() calls remove_conflicting_framebuffers, which in turn calls unregister_framebuffer for any conflicting entry. In order to fix it, this just creates wrapper functions around all three functions and makes the versions that actually do the work be called "do_xxx()", leaving just the wrapper that gets the lock and calls the worker function. So the rule becomes simply that "do_xxxx()" has to be called with the lock held, and now do_register_framebuffer() can just call do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(), and that in turn can call _do_unregister_framebuffer(), and there is no deadlock, and we can hold the registration lock over the whole sequence, fixing the races. It also makes error cases simpler, and fixes one situation where we would return from unregister_framebuffer() without releasing the lock, pointed out by Bruno Prémont. Tested-by:
