Many regulators support a bypass mode where they simply switch their input supply to the output. This is mainly used in low power retention states where power consumption is extremely low so higher voltage or less clean supplies can be used. Support this by providing ops for the drivers and a consumer API which allows the device to be put into bypass mode if all consumers enable it and the machine enables permission for this. This is not supported as a mode since the existing modes are rarely used due to fuzzy definition and mostly redundant with modern hardware which is able to respond promptly to load changes.

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b1452 ("time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs") was causing problems with X.org because it caused timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid. Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

The new omap4 cpuidle implementation currently requires ARCH_NEEDS_CPU_IDLE_COUPLED, which only works on SMP. This patch makes it possible to build a non-SMP kernel for that platform. This is not normally desired for end-users but can be useful for testing. Without this patch, building rand-0y2jSKT results in: drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c: In function 'cpuidle_coupled_poke': drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c:317:3: error: implicit declaration of function '__smp_call_function_single' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] It's not clear if this patch is the best solution for the problem at hand. I have made sure that we can now build the kernel in all configurations, but that does not mean it will actually work on an OMAP44xx.

Very broadly speaking this patch expands the concept. This patch introduces compact_checklock_irqsave() to check if a lock is contended or the process needs to be scheduled. If either condition is true then async compaction is aborted and the caller is informed. The page allocator will fail a THP allocation if compaction failed due to contention. This patch also introduces compact_trylock_irqsave() which will acquire the lock only if it is not contended and the process does not need to schedule.

If a packet is emitted on one socket in one group of fanout sockets, it is transmitted again. It is thus read again on one of the sockets of the fanout group. This result in a loop for software which generate packets when receiving one. This retransmission is not the intended behavior: a fanout group must behave like a single socket. The packet should not be transmitted on a socket if it originates from a socket belonging to the same fanout group. This patch fixes the issue by changing the transmission check to take fanout group info account.

Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t (which is something larger then the year 2262). Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are injected via adjtimex. So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t. Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

This patch: - changes the SIP address parsing function to enforce square brackets when required, and accept them when not required but present, as recommended by RFC 5118. - adds a new SDP address parsing function that never accepts square brackets since SDP doesn't use them. With these changes, the SIP helper correctly parses all test messages from RFC 5118 (Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Torture Test Messages for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)).

The EETI touchscreen asserts its IRQ line as soon as it has data in its internal buffers. The line is automatically deasserted once all data has been read via I2C. Hence, the driver has to monitor the GPIO line and cannot simply rely on the interrupt handler reception. In the current implementation of the driver, irq_to_gpio() is used to determine the GPIO number from the i2c_client's IRQ value. As irq_to_gpio() is not available on all platforms, this patch changes this and makes the driver ignore the passed in IRQ. Instead, a GPIO is added to the platform_data struct and gpio_to_irq is used to derive the IRQ from that GPIO. If this fails, bail out. The driver is only able to work in environments where the touchscreen GPIO can be mapped to an IRQ. Without this patch, building raumfeld_defconfig results in: drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c: In function 'eeti_ts_irq_active': drivers/input/touchscreen/eeti_ts.c:65:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_to_gpio' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] Signed-off-by: NDaniel Mack <zonque@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (v3.2+) Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Cc: Sven Neumann <s.neumann@raumfeld.com> Cc: linux-input@vger.kernel.org Cc: Haojian Zhuang <haojian.zhuang@gmail.com>

The first idea of the CAN FD implementation started with a new struct canfd_frame to be used for both CAN FD frames and legacy CAN frames. The now mainlined implementation supports both CAN frame types simultaneously and distinguishes them only by their required sizes: CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU. Only the struct canfd_frame contains a flags element which is needed for the additional CAN FD information. As CAN FD implicitly means that the 'Extened Data Length' mode is enabled the formerly defined CANFD_EDL bit became redundant and also confusing as an unset bit would be an error and would always need to be tested. This patch removes the obsolete CANFD_EDL bit and clarifies the documentation for the use of struct canfd_frame and the CAN FD relevant flags.

After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in memory, we never flushed it out to disk). This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this confused state, either.

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors, discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks at all. Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257. However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request; 128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left, and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also take into account the discard_alignment. At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the current code.

A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.
