Subject: mtd: nand: gpmi: Fix failure when a erased page has a bitflip at BBM
From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer(a)pengutronix.de>
[ Upstream commit fdf2e821052958a114618a95ab18a300d0b080cb ]
When erased subpages are read then the BCH decoder returns STATUS_ERASED
if they are all empty, or STATUS_UNCORRECTABLE if there are bitflips.
When there are bitflips, we have to set these bits again to show the
upper layers a completely erased page. When a bitflip happens in the
exact byte where the bad block marker is, then this byte is swapped
with another byte in block_mark_swapping(). The correction code then
detects a bitflip in another subpage and no longer corrects the bitflip
where it really happens.
Correct this behaviour by calling block_mark_swapping() after the
bitflips have been corrected.
In our case UBIFS failed with this bug because it expects erased
pages to be really empty:
UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scan: corrupt empty space at LEB 36:118735
UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scanned_corruption: corruption at LEB 36:118735
UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scanned_corruption: first 8192 bytes from LEB 36:118735
UBIFS error (pid 187): ubifs_scan: LEB 36 scanning failed

If the probing of the regulator is deferred, the memory allocated by

It should be freed before the next call to 'sun4i_mdio_probe()' which will

From: Brendan McGrath <redmcg(a)redmandi.dyndns.org>
[ Upstream commit 588753f1eb18978512b1c9b85fddb457d46f9033 ]
One example of when an ICMPv6 packet is required to be looped back is
when a host acts as both a Multicast Listener and a Multicast Router.
A Multicast Router will listen on address ff02::16 for MLDv2 messages.
Currently, MLDv2 messages originating from a Multicast Listener running
on the same host as the Multicast Router are not being delivered to the
Multicast Router. This is due to dst.input being assigned the default
value of dst_discard.
This results in the packet being looped back but discarded before being
delivered to the Multicast Router.
This patch sets dst.input to ip6_input to ensure a looped back packet
is delivered to the Multicast Router.

Subject: bnx2x: Improve reliability in case of nested PCI errors
From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" <gpiccoli(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit f7084059a9cb9e56a186e1677b1dcffd76c2cd24 ]
While in recovery process of PCI error (called EEH on PowerPC arch),
another PCI transaction could be corrupted causing a situation of
nested PCI errors. Also, this scenario could be reproduced with
error injection mechanisms (for debug purposes).
We observe that in case of nested PCI errors, bnx2x might attempt to
initialize its shmem and cause a kernel crash due to bad addresses
read from MCP. Multiple different stack traces were observed depending
on the point the second PCI error happens.
This patch avoids the crashes by:
* failing PCI recovery in case of nested errors (since multiple
PCI errors in a row are not expected to lead to a functional
adapter anyway), and by,
* preventing access to adapter FW when MCP is failed (we mark it as
failed when shmem cannot get initialized properly).

Subject: xen-netfront: enable device after manual module load
From: Eduardo Otubo <otubo(a)redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit b707fda2df4070785d0fa8a278aa13944c5f51f8 ]
When loading the module after unloading it, the network interface would
not be enabled and thus wouldn't have a backend counterpart and unable
to be used by the guest.
The guest would face errors like:
[root@guest ~]# ethtool -i eth0
Cannot get driver information: No such device
[root@guest ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
This patch initializes the state of the netfront device whenever it is
loaded manually, this state would communicate the netback to create its
device and establish the connection between them.
