      HID: wiimote: fix FF deadlock · f50f9aab
      David Herrmann authored 
      

The input core has an internal spinlock that is acquired during event
injection via input_event() and friends but also held during FF callbacks.
That means, there is no way to share a lock between event-injection and FF
handling. Unfortunately, this is what is required for wiimote state
tracking and what we do with state.lock and input->lock.

This deadlock can be triggered when using continuous data reporting and FF
on a wiimote device at the same time. I takes me at least 30m of
stress-testing to trigger it but users reported considerably shorter
times (http://bpaste.net/show/132504/) when using some gaming-console
emulators.

The real problem is that we have two copies of internal state, one in the
wiimote objects and the other in the input device. As the input-lock is
not supposed to be accessed from outside of input-core, we have no other
chance than offloading FF handling into a worker. This actually works
pretty nice and also allows to implictly merge fast rumble changes into a
single request.

Due to the 3-layered workers (rumble+queue+l2cap) this might reduce FF
responsiveness. Initial tests were fine so lets fix the race first and if
it turns out to be too slow we can always handle FF out-of-band and skip
the queue-worker.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target fixes queued up for v3.12-rc4 code.

  The highlights include:

   - Make vhost/scsi tag percpu_ida_alloc() use GFP_ATOMIC
   - Allow sess_cmd_map allocation failure fallback to use vzalloc
   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE se_cmd->data_length bug with FILEIO backends
   - Fixes for COMPARE_AND_WRITE callback recursive failure OOPs + non
     zero scsi_status bug
   - Make iscsi-target do acknowledgement tag release from RX context
   - Setup iscsi-target with extra (cmdsn_depth / 2) percpu_ida tags

  Also included is a iscsi-target patch CC'ed for v3.10+ that avoids
  legacy wait_for_task=true release during fast-past StatSN
  acknowledgement, and two other SRP target related patches that address
  long-standing issues that are CC'ed for v3.3+.

  Extra thanks to Thomas Glanzmann for his testing feedback with
  COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY VAAI logic"

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
  iscsi-target; Allow an extra tag_num / 2 number of percpu_ida tags
  iscsi-target: Perform release of acknowledged tags from RX context
  iscsi-target: Only perform wait_for_tasks when performing shutdown

  target: Fix recursive COMPARE_AND_WRITE callback failure
  target: Reset data_length for COMPARE_AND_WRITE to NoLB * block_size
  ib_srpt: always set response for task management
  target: Fall back to vzalloc upon ->sess_cmd_map kzalloc failure
  vhost/scsi: Use GFP_ATOMIC with percpu_ida_alloc for obtaining tag
  ib_srpt: Destroy cm_id before destroying QP.
  target: Fix xop->dbl assignment in target_xcopy_parse_segdesc_02
