virtio-pci: make reset operation safer
virtio-mmio: Correct the name of the guest features selector
virtio: add HAS_IOMEM dependency to MMIO platform bus driver -
virtio pci device reset actually just does an I/O
write, which in PCI is really posted, that is it
can complete on CPU before the device has received it.Further, interrupts might have been pending on
another CPU, so device callback might get invoked after reset.This conflicts with how drivers use reset, which is typically:
reset
unregister
a callback running after reset completed can race with
unregister, potentially leading to use after free bugs.Fix by flushing out the write, and flushing pending interrupts.
This assumes that device is never reset from
its vq/config callbacks, or in parallel with being
added/removed, document this assumption.Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Count of selector voltage is required for regulator_set_voltage
to work via set_voltage_sel. VDD1/2 currently have it as zero,
so regulator_set_voltage won't work for VDD1/2.
Update count (n_voltages) for VDD1/2.Output Voltage = (step value * 12.5 mV + 562.5 mV) * gain
With above expr, number of voltages that can be selected is
step value count * gain countconstant for gain count will be called VDD1_2_NUM_VOLT_COARSE
existing constant for step value count is VDD1_2_NUM_VOLTS,
use VDD1_2_NUM_VOLT_FINE instead to make clear that step value
is not the only component in deciding selectable voltage countSigned-off-by: Afzal Mohammed

This reverts commit dc9372808412edbc653a675a526c2ee6c0c14a91.
As requested by Ben Herrenschmidt:
"This breaks some powerpc platforms at least. The practice of having
a node provide an explicit "interrupt-parent" property pointing to
itself is an old trick that we've used in the past to allow a
device-node to have interrupts routed to different controllers.In that case, the node also contains an interrupt-map, so the node is
its own parent, the interrupt resolution hits the map, which then can
route each individual interrupt to a different parent."Grant says:
"Ah, nuts, yes that is broken then. Yes, please revert the commit and
Rob & I will come up with a better solution.Rob, I think it can be done by explicitly checking for np ==
desc->interrupt_parent in of_irq_init() instead of relying on
of_irq_find_parent() returning NULL."Requested-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

This adds a new optional chunk to the CS ioctl that specifies optional flags
to the CS parser. Why this is useful is explained below. Note that some regs
no longer need the NOP relocation packet if this feature is enabled.
Tested on r300g and r600g with this flag disabled and enabled.Assume there are two contexts sharing the same mipmapped tiled texture.
One context wants to render into the first mipmap and the other one
wants to render into the last mipmap. As you probably know, the hardware
has a MACRO_SWITCH feature, which turns off macro tiling for small mipmaps,
but that only applies to samplers.
(at least on r300-r500, though later hardware likely behaves the same)So we want to just re-set the tiling flags before rendering (writing
packets), right? ... No. The contexts run in parallel, so they may
set the tiling flags simultaneously and then fire their command streams
also simultaneously. The last one setting the flags wins, the other one
loses.Another problem is when one context wants to render into the first and
the last mipmap in one CS. Impossible. It must flush before changing
tiling flags and do the rendering into the smaller mipmaps in another CS.Yet another problem is that writing copy_blit in userspace would be a mess
involving re-setting tiling flags to please the kernel, and causing races
with other contexts at the same time.The only way out of this is to send tiling flags with each CS, ideally
with each relocation. But we already do that through the registers.
So let's just use what we have in the registers.Signed-off-by: Marek Olšák

Fix for ftdi_set_termios() glitching output
ftdi_set_termios() is constantly setting the baud rate, data bits and parity
unnecessarily on every call, . When called while characters are being
transmitted can cause the FTDI chip to corrupt the serial port bit stream
output by stalling the output half a bit during the output of a character.
Simple fix by skipping this setting if the baud rate/data bits/parity are
unchanged.Signed-off-by: Andrew Worsley

----I had a brief run with strace on the getty and it was doing ioctl()s on
each call but it didn't look relavant to the problem. I think the issue is
that XON/XOFF flow control was being implmented via hardware - for the ixoff
to allow the user to use XON/XOFF to control output. Unfortunately it would
send 3 Control URBs updating all of the settings after each piece of inputI am trying to work around the issue of gmail messing with the tab/spacing
by submitting via SMTP via gmail which I believe should fix the issue.The patch is against v3.2-rc2 and compiles - but no additional testing in
this kernel has been done.Thanks
