In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically. But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative. The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE, increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr. It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush(). Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So, it could go down to negative value temporarily. Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper. A possible BUG_ON message is like the below. kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:517! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP EIP: 0060:[<c04824a4>] EFLAGS: 00010297 CPU: 3 EIP is at __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 EAX: ee8a8818 EBX: c08e77d4 ECX: e7c7ae40 EDX: c08e77ec ESI: 000081fe EDI: e7c7ae60 EBP: e7c7ae64 ESP: e7c7ae3c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Call Trace: [<c0482ad9>] free_unmap_vmap_area_noflush+0x69/0x70 [<c0482b02>] remove_vm_area+0x22/0x70 [<c0482c15>] __vunmap+0x45/0xe0 [<c04831ec>] vmalloc+0x2c/0x30 Code: 8d 59 e0 eb 04 66 90 89 cb 89 d0 e8 87 fe ff ff 8b 43 20 89 da 8d 48 e0 8d 43 20 3b 04 24 75 e7 fe 05 a8 a5 a3 c0 e9 78 ff ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 56 89 c6 b8 ac a5 a3 c0 31 EIP: [<c04824a4>] __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 SS:ESP 0068:e7c7ae3c [ See also http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126335856228090&w=2 ] Signed-off-by:

Resolves kernel.org bug 14914. Remove entry for 2770:915d (usb digital camera with mass storage support) from unusual_devs.h. The fix triggered by the entry causes the file system on the camera to be completely inaccessible (no partition table, the device is not mountable). The patch works, but let me clarify a few things about it. All the patch does is remove the entry for this device from the drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h, which is supposed to help with a problem with the device's reported size (I think). I'm pretty sure it was originally added for a reason, so I'm not sure removing it won't cause other problems to reappear. Also, I should note that this unusual_devs.h entry was present (and activating workarounds) in 2.6.29, but in that version everything works fine. Starting with 2.6.30, things no longer work.

After the device reset and re-configuration, the device and the xHCI host think they are using alternate setting 0 of all interfaces. However, the USB core keeps track of the old state, which may include non-zero alternate settings. It uses intf->cur_altsetting to keep the endpoint sysfs files for the old state across the reset. The bandwidth allocation functions need to know what the xHCI host thinks the current alternate settings are, so original patch set intf->cur_altsetting to the alternate setting 0. This caused duplicate endpoint files to be created. The solution is to not set intf->cur_altsetting before calling usb_set_interface() in usb_reset_and_verify_device(). Instead, we add a new flag to struct usb_interface to tell usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to use alternate setting 0 as the currently installed alternate setting. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1330) fixes a bug in khbud's handling of remote wakeups. When a device sends a remote-wakeup request, the parent hub (or the host controller driver, for directly attached devices) begins the resume sequence and notifies khubd when the sequence finishes. At this point the port's SUSPEND feature is automatically turned off. However the device needs an additional 10-ms resume-recovery time (TRSMRCY in the USB spec). Khubd does not wait for this delay if the SUSPEND feature is off, and as a result some devices fail to behave properly following a remote wakeup. This patch adds the missing delay to the remote-wakeup path. It also extends the resume-signalling delay used by ehci-hcd and uhci-hcd from 20 ms (the value in the spec) to 25 ms (the value we use for non-remote-wakeup resumes). The extra time appears to help some devices. Signed-off-by:

This patch (as1321) fixes a problem with EHCI and UHCI root-hub suspends: If the suspend occurs while a port is trying to resume, the resume doesn't finish and simply gets lost. When remote wakeup is enabled, this is undesirable behavior. The patch checks first to see if any port resumes are in progress, and if they are then it fails the root-hub suspend with -EBUSY.

This patch (as1320) fixes two problems related to interrupt-URB scheduling in ehci-hcd. URBs with an interval of 2 or 4 microframes aren't handled. For the time being, the patch reduces to interval to 1 uframe. URBs are constrained to have an interval no larger than 1024 frames by usb_submit_urb(). But some EHCI controllers allow use of a schedule as short as 256 frames; for these controllers we may have to decrease the interval to the actual schedule length. The second problem isn't very significant since few devices expose interrupt endpoints with an interval larger than 256 frames. But the first problem is critical; it will prevent the kernel from working with devices having interrupt intervals of 2 or 4 uframes. Signed-off-by:
