commit 4c663cfc52 upstream.
Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses. However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed. If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.
Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true. This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").
Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915. One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics. I very much like this."

commit 0720a06a75 upstream.
The utf8s_to_utf16s conversion routine needs to be improved. Unlike
its utf16s_to_utf8s sibling, it doesn't accept arguments specifying
the maximum length of the output buffer or the endianness of its
16-bit output.
This patch (as1501) adds the two missing arguments, and adjusts the
only two places in the kernel where the function is called. A
follow-on patch will add a third caller that does utilize the new
capabilities.
The two conversion routines are still annoyingly inconsistent in the
way they handle invalid byte combinations. But that's a subject for a
different patch.

Some host controllers will not operate without a hardware
timeout that is limited in value. However large discards
require large timeouts, so there needs to be a way to
specify the maximum discard size.
A host controller driver may now specify the maximum discard
timeout possible so that max_discard_sectors can be calculated.
However, for eMMC when the High Capacity Erase Group Size
is not in use, the timeout calculation depends on clock
rate which may change. For that case Preferred Erase Size
is used instead.

mmc: core: add non-blocking mmc request function
Previously there has only been one function mmc_wait_for_req()
to start and wait for a request. This patch adds:
* mmc_start_req() - starts a request wihtout waiting
If there is on ongoing request wait for completion
of that request and start the new one and return.
Does not wait for the new command to complete.
This patch also adds new function members in struct mmc_host_ops
only called from core.c:
* pre_req - asks the host driver to prepare for the next job
* post_req - asks the host driver to clean up after a completed job
The intention is to use pre_req() and post_req() to do cache maintenance
while a request is active. pre_req() can be called while a request is
active to minimize latency to start next job. post_req() can be used after
the next job is started to clean up the request. This will minimize the
host driver request end latency. post_req() is typically used before
ending the block request and handing over the buffer to the block layer.
Add a host-private member in mmc_data to be used by pre_req to mark the
data. The host driver will then check this mark to see if the data is
prepared or not.
