[PATCH] arm64: dts: ls208x: remove Freescale Erratum A008585 from LS2088A.

by Pankaj Bansal

Freescale Erratum A008585 affects A57 core cluster used in LS2085rev1. However this problem has been fixed in A72 core cluster used in LS2088. Therefore remove the erratum from LS2088A. Keeping it only in LS2085.

So remove __stack_chk_guard_setup() and initialize __stack_chk_guard at compile time. Original code comes from ARM but also used for MIPS and SH, so fix them together. Without this fix, compressed booting of these archs will fail because stack checking is enabled by default (>=4.16).

[PATCH 2/2] bcache: don't attach backing with duplicate UUID

by Michael Lyle

This can happen e.g. during disk cloning. This is an incomplete fix: it does not catch duplicate UUIDs earlier when things are still unattached. It does not unregister the device. Further changes to cope better with this are planned but conflict with Coly's ongoing improvements to handling device errors. In the meantime, one can manually stop the device after this has happened. Attempts to attach a duplicate device result in: [ 136.372404] loop: module loaded [ 136.424461] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device loop0 [ 136.424464] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Tried to attach loop0 but duplicate UUID already attached My test procedure is: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=imgfile bs=1024 count=262144 losetup -f imgfile Signed-off-by: Michael Lyle <mlyle(a)lyle.org> Reviewed-by: Tang Junhui <tang.junhui(a)zte.com.cn> Cc: <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> --- drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c index 9c141a8aaacc..5cace6892958 100644 --- a/drivers/md/bcache/super.c +++ b/drivers/md/bcache/super.c @@ -963,6 +963,7 @@ int bch_cached_dev_attach(struct cached_dev *dc, struct cache_set *c, uint32_t rtime = cpu_to_le32(get_seconds()); struct uuid_entry *u; char buf[BDEVNAME_SIZE]; + struct cached_dev *exist_dc, *t; bdevname(dc->bdev, buf); @@ -987,6 +988,16 @@ int bch_cached_dev_attach(struct cached_dev *dc, struct cache_set *c, return -EINVAL; } + /* Check whether already attached */ + list_for_each_entry_safe(exist_dc, t, &c->cached_devs, list) { + if (!memcmp(dc->sb.uuid, exist_dc->sb.uuid, 16)) { + pr_err("Tried to attach %s but duplicate UUID already attached", + buf); + + return -EINVAL; + } + } + u = uuid_find(c, dc->sb.uuid); if (u && -- 2.14.1
