  • In order to prevent a O(n) search of the filesystem to link up its uio
    node with its target configuration, TCMU needs to know the minor number
    that UIO assigned. Expose the definition of this struct so TCMU can
    access this field.

  • This reverts commit ddb09754e6c7239e302c7b675df9bbd415f8de5d.

    Linus objected to this originally, I can see why it might be needed, but
    given that no one spoke up defending this patch, I'm going to revert it.

    If you have hardware that requires this change, please speak up in the
    future and defend the patch.

  • the vma range size is always page size aligned in mmap, while the
    real io space range may not be page aligned, thus leading to range
    check failure in the uio_mmap_physical().

    for example, in a case of io range size "mem->size == 1KB", and we
    have (vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start) == 4KB, due to "len" is aligned
    to page size in do_mmap_pgoff().

    now fix this issue by align mem->size to page size in the check.

  • When platform_get_irq() is failed after "priv" allocated,
    it need to free "priv". But the label of bad0 doesn't try
    to free about "priv". So this patch changes that lable to "bad1".
    But "bad1" has pm_runtime_disable() call, this function should
    be called when uio_register_device() is failed. So it is moved
    into handling error for uio_register_device().

  • Commit e6789cd3dfb553077606ccafeb05e0043f072481 (uio: Simplify uio error
    path by using devres functions) converted uio to use devm_request_irq().
    This introduced a change in behaviour since the IRQ is associated with
    the parent device instead of the created UIO device. The IRQ will remain
    active after uio_unregister_device() is called, and some drivers will
    crash because of this. The patch fixes this.

  • In commit 7314e613d5ff ("Fix a few incorrectly checked
    [io_]remap_pfn_range() calls") the uio driver started more properly
    checking the passed-in user mapping arguments against the size of the
    actual uio driver data.

    That in turn exposed that some driver authors apparently didn't realize
    that mmap can only work on a page granularity, and had tried to use it
    with smaller mappings, with the new size check catching that out.

    So since it's not just the user mmap() arguments that can be confused,
    make the uio mmap code also verify that the uio driver has the memory
    allocated at page boundaries in order for mmap to work. If the device
    memory isn't properly aligned, we return

    [ENODEV]
    The fildes argument refers to a file whose type is not supported by mmap().

    as per the open group documentation on mmap.

  • Most architectures define virt_to_page() as a macro that casts its
    argument such that an argument of type unsigned long will be accepted
    without complaint. However, the proper type is void *, and passing
    unsigned long results in a warning on MIPS.

    Compile-tested only.

  • Nico Golde reports a few straggling uses of [io_]remap_pfn_range() that
    really should use the vm_iomap_memory() helper. This trivially converts
    two of them to the helper, and comments about why the third one really
    needs to continue to use remap_pfn_range(), and adds the missing size
    check.

  • The patch "UIO: fix uio_pdrv_genirq with device tree but no interrupt"
    (sha1: e3a3c3a205554e564751cd9c0276b2af813d7a92)
    add support to use this driver with no interrupts.
    uio_pdrv_genirq also supports device-tree binding
    which is not available in uio_pdrv.

    That's why this uio_pdrv driver can be just removed.

  • In a SMP case there was a race condition issue between
    uio_pdrv_genirq_irqcontrol() running on one CPU and irq handler on
    another CPU. Fix it by spin_locking shared resources access inside irq
    handler. Also:
    - Change disable_irq to disable_irq_nosync to avoid deadlock, because
    disable_irq waits for the completion of the irq handler;
    - Change atomic bit-manipulation routines to their non-atomic
    counterparts as we already are guarding the code by spinlock.
