      freezer: implement and use kthread_freezable_should_stop() · 8a32c441
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent
deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this
is inherently racy - nothing prevents freezing from happening between
thaw_process() and kthread_stop().

This patch implements kthread_freezable_should_stop() which enters
refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if
kthread_stop() is invoked.  Both thaw_process() users are converted to
use the new function.

Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable
kthreads.  They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or
freezable workqueue.

Tested with synthetic test case.

      freezer: unexport refrigerator() and update try_to_freeze() slightly · a0acae0e
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
refrigerator.  Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.

* Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
  indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.

* Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
  __refrigerator() if freezing().

* Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().

* Update documentation accordingly.

* While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

      freezer: don't unnecessarily set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly · 3a7cbd50
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is
completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't
consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer
operations.

In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly.
Remove them and change the documentation to note that setting
PF_NOFREEZE directly isn't allowed.

-v2: Dropped change to twl4030-irq.c as it no longer uses PF_NOFREEZE.

      paride: fix potential information leak in pg_read() · a2c2a0e6
      由 Dan Carpenter 提交于 
      Smatch has a new check for Rosenberg type information leaks where structs
are copied to the user with uninitialized stack data in them.  i In this
case, the pg_write_hdr struct has a hole in it.

struct pg_write_hdr {
        char                       magic;                /*     0     1 */
        char                       func;                 /*     1     1 */
        /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
        int                        dlen;                 /*     4     4 */

      cciss: auto engage SCSI mid layer at driver load time · 0007a4c9
      由 Stephen M. Cameron 提交于 
      A long time ago, probably in 2002, one of the distros, or maybe more than
one, loaded block drivers prior to loading the SCSI mid layer.  This meant
that the cciss driver, being a block driver, could not engage the SCSI mid
layer at init time without panicking, and relied on being poked by a
userland program after the system was up (and the SCSI mid layer was
therefore present) to engage the SCSI mid layer.

This is no longer the case, and cciss can safely rely on the SCSI mid
layer being present at init time and engage the SCSI mid layer straight
away.  This means that users will see their tape drives and medium
changers at driver load time without need for a script in /etc/rc.d that
does this:

for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss*
do
	echo "engage scsi" > $x
done

However, if no tape drives or medium changers are detected, the SCSI mid
layer will not be engaged.  If a tape drive or medium change is later
hot-added to the system it will then be necessary to use the above script
or similar for the device(s) to be acceesible.
