commit 9000f05c6d upstream.
Fix a SMT scheduler performance regression that is leading to a scenario
where SMT threads in one core are completely idle while both the SMT threads
in another core (on the same socket) are busy.
This is caused by this commit (with the problematic code highlighted)

On a SMT system, power of the HT logical cpu will be 589 and
the scheduler load imbalance (for scenarios like the one mentioned above)
can be approximately 1024 (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE). The above change of scaling
the weighted load with the power will result in "wl > imbalance" and
ultimately resulting in find_busiest_queue() return NULL, causing
load_balance() to think that the load is well balanced. But infact
one of the tasks can be moved to the idle core for optimal performance.
We don't need to use the weighted load (wl) scaled by the cpu power to
compare with imabalance. In that condition, we already know there is only a
single task "rq->nr_running == 1" and the comparison between imbalance,
wl is to make sure that we select the correct priority thread which matches
imbalance. So we really need to compare the imabalnce with the original
weighted load of the cpu and not the scaled load.
But in other conditions where we want the most hammered(busiest) cpu, we can
use scaled load to ensure that we consider the cpu power in addition to the
actual load on that cpu, so that we can move the load away from the
guy that is getting most hammered with respect to the actual capacity,
as compared with the rest of the cpu's in that busiest group.
Fix it.

commit a97f925a32 upstream.
Free the dm_io structure before calling bio_endio() instead of after it,
to ensure that the io_pool containing it is not referenced after it is
freed.
This partially fixes a problem described here
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2010-February/msg00109.html
thread 1:
bio_endio(bio, io_error);
/* scheduling happens */
thread 2:
close the device
remove the device
thread 1:
free_io(md, io);
Thread 2, when removing the device, sees non-empty md->io_pool (because the
io hasn't been freed by thread 1 yet) and may crash with BUG in mempool_free.
Thread 1 may also crash, when freeing into a nonexisting mempool.
To fix this we must make sure that bio_endio() is the last call and
the md structure is not accessed afterwards.
There is another bio_endio in process_barrier, but it is called from the thread
and the thread is destroyed prior to freeing the mempools, so this call is
not affected by the bug.
A similar bug exists with module unloads - the module may be unloaded
immediately after bio_endio - but that is more difficult to fix.

If no platform_data was givin to the device it's going to use it's default
platform data struct which has all fields initialized to zero. As a
result the driver is going to try to request gpio0 both as write protect
and card detect pin. Which of course will fail and makes the driver
unusable
Previously to the introduction of no_wprotect and no_detect the behavior
was to assume that if no platform data was given there is no write protect
or card detect pin. This patch restores that behavior.

USB: Move hcd free_dev call into usb_disconnect
I found a way to oops the kernel:
1. Open a USB device through devio.
2. Remove the hcd module in the host kernel.
3. Close the devio file descriptor.
The problem is that closing the file descriptor does usb_release_dev
as it is the last reference. usb_release_dev then tries to invoke
the hcd free_dev function (or rather dereferencing the hcd driver
struct). This causes an oops as the hcd driver has already been
unloaded so the struct is gone.
This patch tries to fix this by bringing the free_dev call earlier
and into usb_disconnect. I have verified that repeating the
above steps no longer crashes with this patch applied.

This occurs because an interrupt scans uhci->skelqh, which is
being freed. We do the right thing: disable the interrupts in the
device, and do not do any processing if the interrupt is shared
with other source, but it's possible that another CPU gets
delayed somewhere (e.g. loops) until we started freeing.
The agreed-upon solution is to wait for interrupts to play out
before proceeding. No other bareers are neceesary.
A backport of this patch was tested on a 2.6.18 based kernel.
Testing of 2.6.32-based kernels is under way, but it takes us
forever (months) to turn this around. So I think it's a good
patch and we should keep it.

Keep chip_data in create_irq_nr and destroy_irq.
When two drivers are setting up MSI-X at the same time via

at 0000000000000088
As you can see igb and ixgbe are both alternating on create_irq_nr()
via pci_enable_msix() in their probe function.
ixgbe: While looping through irq_desc_ptrs[] via create_irq_nr() ixgbe
choses irq_desc_ptrs[102] and exits the loop, drops vector_lock and
calls dynamic_irq_init. Then it sets irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data =
NULL via dynamic_irq_init().
igb: Grabs the vector_lock now and starts looping over irq_desc_ptrs[]
via create_irq_nr(). It gets to irq_desc_ptrs[102] and does this:
cfg_new = irq_desc_ptrs[102]->chip_data;
if (cfg_new->vector != 0)
continue;
This hits the NULL deref.
Another possible race exists via pci_disable_msix() in a driver or in
the number of error paths that call free_msi_irqs():
destroy_irq()
dynamic_irq_cleanup() which sets desc->chip_data = NULL
...race window...
desc->chip_data = cfg;
Remove the save and restore code for cfg in create_irq_nr() and
destroy_irq() and take the desc->lock when checking the irq_cfg.

commit 08fedfc903 upstream.
Studying the DSDTs of various thinkpads, it looks like bit 3 of the
argument to SBDC and SWAN is not "set radio to last state on resume".
Rather, it seems to be "if this bit is set, enable radio on resume,
otherwise disable it on resume".
So, the proper way to prepare the radios for S3 suspend is: disable
radio and clear bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to to resume with radio
disabled, and enable radio and set bit 3 on the SBDC/SWAN call to
resume with the radio enabled.
Also, for persistent devices, the rfkill core does not restore state,
so we really need to get the firmware to do the right thing.
We don't sync the radio state on suspend, instead we trust the BIOS to
not do anything weird if we never touched the radio state since boot.
Time will tell if that's a wise way of doing things...

Event 0x3006 is used to help power management of the ODD in the
UltraBay. The EC generates this event when the ODD eject button is
pressed (even if the bay is powered down).
Normally, Linux doesn't need this as we keep the SATA link powered
up (which wastes power). The EC powers up the bay by itself when the
ODD eject button is pressed, and the SATA PHY reports the hotplug.
However, we could also power that SATA link down (and for that matter,
also power down the Ultrabay) if the ODD is left idle for a while with
no disk inside, and use event 0x3006 to know when we need that SATA link
powered back up.
For now, just stop asking for more information when event 0x3006 is
seen, there is no point in pestering users about it anymore.

STAT_INITIALIZED.
In b43, a similar change has been in place (twice) in the
wireless_core_init() routine. Remove the duplicate and add similar
code to b43legacy.

commit 2ac2927a95 upstream.
The hardware needs to know what type of frames are being
sent in order to fill in various fields, for example the
timestamp in probe responses (before this patch, it was
always 0). Set it correctly when initializing the TX
descriptor.

commit 7bfbae10dc upstream.
While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS
frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals.
This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based
chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions.
This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively
disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets.

commit 5c0ba62fd4 upstream.
When selecting the tx fallback rate, rc.c used a separate variable
'nrix' for storing the next rate index, however it did not use that as
reference for further rate index lowering. Because of that, it ended up
reusing the same rate for multiple multi-rate retry stages, thus
decreasing delivery probability under changing link conditions.
This patch removes the separate (unnecessary) variable and fixes
fallback the way it was intended to work.
This should result in increased throughput and better link stability.
