commit 6513a81e93 upstream.
While chasing a bug report involving a OS/2 server, I noticed the server sets
pSMBr->CountHigh to a incorrect value even in case of normal writes. This
results in 'nbytes' being computed wrongly and triggers a kernel BUG at
mm/filemap.c.
void iov_iter_advance(struct iov_iter *i, size_t bytes)
{
BUG_ON(i->count < bytes); <--- BUG here
Why the server is setting 'CountHigh' is not clear but only does so after
writing 64k bytes. Though this looks like the server bug, the client side
crash may not be acceptable.
The workaround is to mask off high 16 bits if the number of bytes written as
returned by the server is greater than the bytes requested by the client as
suggested by Jeff Layton.

commit 68b0ddb289 upstream.
Crucial said,
Thank you for contacting us. We know that with our M225 line of SSDs
you sometimes need to disable NCQ (native command queuing) to avoid
just the type of errors you're seeing. Our recommendation for the
M225 is to add libata.force=noncq to your Linux kernel boot options,
under the kernel ATA library option.
I have sent your feedback to the engineers working on the C300, and
asked them to please pass it on to the firmware team. I have been
notified that they are in the process of testing and finalizing a
new firmware version, that you can expect to see released around the
end of April. We’ll keep you posted as to when it will be available
for download.
So, turn off NCQ on the drive w/ the current firmware revision.

commit 322a1356be upstream.
Some new models need to disable wireless hotplug.
For the moment, we don't know excactly what models need that,
except 1005HA.
Users will be able to use that param as a workaround.

commit da8ba01deb upstream.
The EeePC 4G ("701") implements CFVS, but it is not supported by the
pre-installed OS, and the original option to change it in the BIOS
setup screen was removed in later versions. Judging by the lack of
"Super Hybrid Engine" on Asus product pages, this applies to all "701"
models (4G/4G Surf/2G Surf).
So Asus made a deliberate decision not to support it on this model.
We have several reports that using it can cause the system to hang [1].
That said, it does not happen all the time. Some users do not
experience it at all (and apparently wish to continue "right-clocking").
Check for the EeePC 701 using DMI. If met, then disable writes to the
"cpufv" sysfs attribute and log an explanatory message.
Add a "cpufv_disabled" attribute which allow users to override this
policy. Writing to this attribute will log a second message.
The sysfs attribute is more useful than a module option, because it
makes it easier for userspace scripts to provide consistent behaviour
(according to user configuration), regardless of whether the kernel
includes this change.

commit b525c06cdb upstream.
Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the
video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org.
Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not
provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through
X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
can access any sort of video output control state.
This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any
non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to
hard-crash some ThinkPads.

commit d89a727aff upstream.
Before we register the input device, sync the input layer EV_SW state
through a call to input_report_switch(), to avoid issuing a gratuitous
event for the initial state of these switches.
This fixes some annoyances caused by the interaction with rfkill and
EV_SW SW_RFKILL_ALL events.

commit a71ce8c6c9 updated ext3_statfs()
to update the on-disk superblock counters, but modified this buffer
directly without any journaling of the change. This is one of the
accesses that was causing the crc errors in journal replay as seen in
kernel.org bugzilla #14354.
The modifications were originally to keep the sb "more" in sync,
so that a readonly fsck of the device didn't flag this as an
error (as often), but apparently e2fsprogs deals with this differently
now, anyway.
Based on Ted's patch for ext4, which was in turn based on my
work on that bug and another preliminary patch...

commit 18fa000ae4 upstream
svm_vcpu_reset() was not properly resetting the contents of the guest-visible
cr0 register, causing the following issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525699
Without resetting cr0 properly, the vcpu was running the SIPI bootstrap routine
with paging enabled, making the vcpu get a pagefault exception while trying to
run it.
Instead of setting vmcb->save.cr0 directly, the new code just resets
kvm->arch.cr0 and calls kvm_set_cr0(). The bits that were set/cleared on
vmcb->save.cr0 (PG, WP, !CD, !NW) will be set properly by svm_set_cr0().
kvm_set_cr0() is used instead of calling svm_set_cr0() directly to make sure
kvm_mmu_reset_context() is called to reset the mmu to nonpaging mode.
