The hfi1 driver registers a mmu_notifier callback when /dev/hfi1_* is
opened, and unregisters it when the device is closed. The driver
incorrectly assumes that the close will always happen from the same
context as the open. In particular, closes due to SIGKILL or OOM killer
activity may happen from a different context. In these cases, the wrong
mm is passed to mmu_notifier_unregister(), which causes improper reference
counting for the victim mm, and eventual memory corruption.
Preserve the mm for all open file descriptors and use this mm rather than
current->mm for memory operations for the lifetime of that fd. Note: this
patch leaves 1 use of current->mm in place. This use is removed in a
follow on patch because other functional changes were required prior to
that use being removed.
If registration fails, there is no reason to keep the handler object
around. Free the handler object rather than add it to the list to
prevent any mmu_notifier operations, including unregister, when
registration fails.

The user SDMA in-use claim bit is in the structure that gets zeroed out
once the claim is made. Move the request in-use flag into its own bit
array and use that for atomic claims. This cleans up the claim code and

The driver pads non-double word multiple message sizes but it doesn't
account for this padding when the packet length is calculated. Also, the
data length is miscalculated for message sizes less than 4 bytes due to
the bit representation in LRH. And there's a check for non-double word
multiple message sizes that prevents these messages from being sent.
This patch fixes length miscalculations and enables the functionality to
send non-double word multiple message sizes.

Checking the return value of the memory allocation call in
init_pervl_scs() was missed. Recently the kmalloc() was changed to
kzalloc() which identified the problem.
While fixing this issue 2 other bugs were noticed. First, the array
being allocated is accessed in the nomem path which can be reached before
it is allocated. Second, kernel_send_context was not released on error.
Fix both of these by creating a more common memory unwind label structure.

Commit e93762bbf681 ("w1: masters: omap_hdq: add support for 1-wire
mode") added a statement to clear the hdq_irqstatus flags in
hdq_read_byte().
If the hdq reading process is scheduled slowly or interrupts are
disabled for a while the hardware read activity might already be
finished on entry of hdq_read_byte(). And hdq_isr() already has set the
hdq_irqstatus to 0x6 (can be seen in debug mode) denoting that both, the
TXCOMPLETE and RXCOMPLETE interrupts occurred in parallel.
This means there is no need to wait and the hdq_read_byte() can just
read the byte from the hdq controller.
By resetting hdq_irqstatus to 0 the read process is forced to be always
waiting again (because the if statement always succeeds) but the
hardware will not issue another RXCOMPLETE interrupt. This results in a
false timeout.
After such a situation the hdq bus hangs.

Since commit 3cab1e711297 ("lib/vsprintf: refactor duplicate code

Add channelized messaging driver to support native RapidIO messaging
exchange between multiple senders/recipients on devices that use kernel
RapidIO subsystem services.
This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org
Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Prodrive
Technologies, Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT. Additional input was
received from other members of RapidIO.org.
The objective was to create a character mode driver interface which
exposes messaging capabilities of RapidIO endpoint devices (mports)
directly to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and
varied RapidIO implementations to interoperate.
This char mode device driver allows user-space applications to setup
messaging communication channels using single shared RapidIO messaging
mailbox.
By default this driver uses RapidIO MBOX_1 (MBOX_0 is reserved for use by
RIONET Ethernet emulation driver).

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large
firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this
firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the
entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided
to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware
twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the
firmware into the final resting place.
This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have
to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a
request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware
be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the
intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the
firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires
that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the
firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the
firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime.
For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from
the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from
0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus
the vmalloc pressure is reduced.
This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org:
https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5

Some low memory systems with complex peripherals cannot afford to have
the relatively large firmware images taking up valuable memory during
suspend and resume. Change the internal implementation of
firmware_class to disallow caching based on a configurable option. In
the near future, variants of request_firmware will take advantage of
this feature.

This design creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because
we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. This patch sets
adds support to the request firmware API to load the firmware directly
into a pre-allocated buffer, skipping the intermediate copying step and
alleviating memory pressure during firmware loading. The drawback is
that we can't use the firmware caching feature because the memory for
the firmware cache is not managed by the firmware layer.
This patch (of 3):
We use similar structured code to read and write the kmapped firmware
pages. The only difference is read copies from the kmap region and
write copies to it. Consolidate this into one function to reduce
duplication.

They pretty much disable PSR in some cases where the panel reports a
setup time that would cause issues, like you seem to have"
* tag 'drm-psr-fixes-for-v4.8' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux:

When we removed the procfs dir on error or if the driver is
unbound, the two variables acpi_lid_dir and acpi_button_dir
