This is provoked when the ASoC front end is open along with its backend,
(which causes the backend to have a runtime assigned to it) and then the
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_INFO is requested for the (visible) backend device.

Resolve this by ensuring that ASoC internal backend devices are not
visible to userspace, just as the commentry for snd_pcm_new_internal()
says it should be.

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel.  The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.

In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.

Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some mac...

AD1984A codec has a couple of pins with EAPD controls, and the generic
codec driver tries to turn each of them on/off depending on the pin
active state.  However, Thinkpads seem to use EAPD of the speaker pin
as a master EAPD for controlling the mute of all outputs, including
the headphone.  This results in the dead headphone output via the
headphone plugging because it mutes the speaker and turns off EAPD.

The fix is to simply add spec->gen.keep_on_eapd flag.

[This is a regression fix on 3.12 where we moved the AD codec parser
 to the generic parser.  3.11 and earlier didn't show this problem
 because still static quirks have been used.]

The generic parser has a support of vmaster hook, but this is
initialized only in the init callback with the check of the presence
of the corresponding kctl.  However, since kctl is NULL at the very
first init callback that is called before build_controls callback, the
vmaster hook sync is skipped there.  Eventually this leads to the
uninitialized state depending on the hook implementation.

This patch adds a simple workaround, just calling the sync function
explicitly at build_controls callback.

This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast()
write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission
bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and
passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl().

However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace
PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not*
for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case.

This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on
KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost
endpoints + LUNs.

  nfsd regression since delayed fput()

The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.

Commit 2febcdf8

 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:

   We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.

This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.

We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.

This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
this point in the cycle I really don't care.

This issue was first pointed out by Jiaxing Wang several months ago, but no
further comments:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/29/41



As we know pread() does not change f_pos, so after pread(), file->f_pos
and m->read_pos become different. And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos
if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to
m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the
following program produces the problem:

    char str1[32] = { 0 };
    char str2[32] = { 0 };
    int poffset = 10;
    int count = 20;

    /*open any seq file*/
    int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY);

    pread(fd, str1, count, poffset);
    printf("pread:%s\n", str1);

    /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/
    lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET);

    /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/
    read(fd, str2, count);
    printf("read:%s\n", str2);

out put:
pread:
 ck_netbios_ns 12665
read:
 nf_conntrack_netbios

/proc/modules:
nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000
nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000

So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.

  mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name

  There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device.
  Instead use the provided by the platform_device.

The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device.
However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions
using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed.

Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert
the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'.

While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening
ever again.
