Consistently check errors using the usual method used in the kernel
for much of its history.  For instance:

int gpmc_cs_set_timings(int cs, const struct gpmc_timings *t)
{
	int div;
	div = gpmc_calc_divider(t->sync_clk);
	if (div < 0)
		return div;
static int gpmc_set_async_mode(int cs, struct gpmc_timings *t)
{
...
	return gpmc_cs_set_timings(cs, t);

.....
	ret = gpmc_set_async_mode(gpmc_onenand_data->cs, &t);
	if (IS_ERR_VALUE(ret))
		return ret;

So, gpmc_cs_set_timings() thinks any negative return value is an error,
but where we check that in higher levels, only a limited range are
errors...

There is only _one_ use of IS_ERR_VALUE() in arch/arm which is really
appropriate, and that is in arch/arm/include/asm/syscall.h:

static inline long syscall_get_error(struct task_struct *task,
				     struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	unsigned long error = regs->ARM_r0;
	return IS_ERR_VALUE(error) ? error : 0;
}

because this function really does have to differentiate between error
return values and addresses which look like negative numbers (eg, from
mmap()).

So, here's a patch to remove them from OMAP, except for the above.

omap_hwmod_lookup() only returns NULL on error, never an error pointer.
Checking the returned pointer using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() is needless
overhead.  Use a simple !ptr check instead.

OMAP devices (oh->od) always have a valid platform device attached (see
omap_device_alloc()) so there's no point validating the platform device
pointer (we will have already oopsed long before if this is not the
case here.)

Lastly, oh->od is only ever NULL or a valid omap device pointer - 'oh'
comes from the statically declared hwmod tables, and the pointer is
only filled in by omap_device_alloc() at a point where the omap device
pointer must be valid.

pwrdm_can_ever_lose_context() is only ever called from the OMAP GPIO
code, and only with a pointer returned from omap_hwmod_get_pwrdm().
omap_hwmod_get_pwrdm() only ever returns NULL on error, so using
IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to validate the passed pointer is silly.  Use a
simpler !ptr check instead.

Debugfs functions return NULL when they fail, or an error pointer
when not configured.  The intention behind the error pointer is that
it appears as a valid pointer to the caller, and so the caller
continues inspite of debugfs not being available.

Debugfs failure should only ever be checked with (!ptr) and not the
IS_ERR*() functions.

soc_device_register() never returns NULL, it only ever returns an

Commit c060f943 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.

However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.

This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.

In the meantime, commit c060f943 has been marked for stable, so this
fix needs to be back-ported to the stable kernels that backported the
commit to use the right alignment.

 "In VDR I use an ioctl() call with FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS on a
  device (using stb0899).  After this call I check 'errno' for
  EOPNOTSUPP to determine whether this device supports this call.  This
  used to work just fine, until a few months ago I noticed that my
  devices using stb0899 didn't display their signal quality in VDR's OSD
  any more.  After further investigation I found that
  ioctl(FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS) no longer returns EOPNOTSUPP, but
  rather ENOTTY.  And since I stop getting the signal quality in case
  any unknown errno value appears, this broke my signal quality query
  function."

Petr says: "
 I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
 mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
 xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
 entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "

Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:

"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.

Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
the driver explicitly disables wakeup.  Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug.  A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.

This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list.  This is safe even if the device never
had PME# enabled.

This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter

This config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is
almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel
summit, remove it.

We walk through the bind address list and try to get the best source
address for a given destination. However, currently, we take the
'continue' path of the loop when an entry is invalid (!laddr->valid)
*and* the entry state does not equal SCTP_ADDR_SRC (laddr->state !=
SCTP_ADDR_SRC).

Thus, still, invalid entries with SCTP_ADDR_SRC might not 'continue'
as well as valid entries with SCTP_ADDR_{NEW, SRC, DEL}, with a possible
false baddr and matchlen as a result, causing in worst case dst route
to be false or possibly NULL.

This test should actually be a '||' instead of '&&'. But lets fix it
and make this a bit easier to read by having the condition the same way
as similarly done in sctp_v4_get_dst.

An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate.
This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node
of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible
will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address.

This problem was added in 785ea114
("batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper functions").

When interrupts are disabled, an RX condition can occur but
it is not reported when enabling interrupts again. We need to check
RSR and use napi_reschedule() if condition is met.

it is reported that code hit DMA-API errors on 3.8-rc6+,
(see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908436, and
     https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908550)

this patch just adds error handler for
    pci_map_single and skb_frag_dma_map.

A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads
/proc/kcore:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000
 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110
 [...]

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370
  [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0
  [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130
  [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0
  [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.

The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD.  If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.

This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.

Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.
