mei: cancel stall timers in mei_reset

2013-09-26T20:56:53Z

Unset init_clients_timer and amthif_stall_timers in mei_reset in order to cancel timer ticking and hence avoid recursive reset calls. Cc: # 3.9+ Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: bus: stop wait for read during cl state transition

2013-09-26T20:56:53Z

Bus layer omitted check for client state transition while waiting for read completion The client state transition may occur for example as result of firmware initiated reset Add mei_cl_is_transitioning wrapper to reduce the code repetition.: Cc: # 3.9+ Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: make me client counters less error prone

2013-09-26T20:56:53Z

1. u8 counters are prone to hard to detect overflow: make them unsigned long to match bit_ functions argument type 2. don't check me_clients_num for negativity, it is unsigned. 3. init all the me client counters from one place Cc: # 3.9+ Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Remove GENERIC_HARDIRQ config option

2013-09-13T13:09:52Z

After the last architecture switched to generic hard irqs the config options HAVE_GENERIC_HARDIRQS & GENERIC_HARDIRQS and the related code for !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

drivers: misc: ti-st: fix potential race if st_kim_start fails

2013-08-30T19:08:04Z

If st_kim_start() fails registered protocols should be removed. This is done by calling st_reg_complete(), which as comment states is called with spin lock held. But in st_register() when st_kim_start fails it is called without holding spin lock, creating possibility of concurrent access to st_gdata data members. Hold spin lock while calling st_reg_complete if st_kim_start() fails. Signed-off-by: Oleksandr Kozaruk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

misc: vmw_balloon: Remove braces to fix build for clang.

Based on a patch from: PaX Team in a mailing list message at: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120507/142707.html Clang chokes on the notation "inl (%dx)" but works for "inl %dx"; GNU as accepts both forms.
