Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd: Restore cached manual clock settings during resume
If the SCLK limits have been set before S3 they will not
be restored. The limits are however cached in the driver and so
they can be restored by running a commit sequence during resume.

LANE0_1_STATUS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Reading DPCD registers has side-effects in general. In particular
accessing registers outside of the link training register range
(0x102-0x106, 0x202-0x207, 0x200c-0x200f, 0x2216) is explicitly

3.6.7.4 128b/132b DP Link Layer LTTPR Link Training Mandates
Based on my tests, accessing the DPCD_REV register during the link
training of an UHBR TBT DP tunnel sink leads to link training failures.
Solve the above by using the DP_LANE0_1_STATUS (0x202) register for the
DPCD register access quirk.

The driver uses "whole" fps in all its calculations (e.g. in
load_per_instance()). Those calculation expect an fps bigger than 1, and
not big enough to overflow.
Clamp the value if the user provides a param that will result in an invalid
fps.

In as102_usb driver, the following race condition occurs:
```
CPU0 CPU1
as102_usb_probe()
kzalloc(); // alloc as102_dev_t
....
usb_register_dev();
open("/path/to/dev"); // open as102 dev
....
usb_deregister_dev();
....
kfree(); // free as102_dev_t
....
close(fd);
as102_release() // UAF!!
as102_usb_release()
kfree(); // DFB!!
```
When a USB character device registered with usb_register_dev() is later
unregistered (via usb_deregister_dev() or disconnect), the device node is
removed so new open() calls fail. However, file descriptors that are
already open do not go away immediately: they remain valid until the last
reference is dropped and the driver's .release() is invoked.
In as102, as102_usb_probe() calls usb_register_dev() and then, on an
error path, does usb_deregister_dev() and frees as102_dev_t right away.
If userspace raced a successful open() before the deregistration, that
open FD will later hit as102_release() --> as102_usb_release() and access
or free as102_dev_t again, occur a race to use-after-free and
double-free vuln.
The fix is to never kfree(as102_dev_t) directly once usb_register_dev()
has succeeded. After deregistration, defer freeing memory to .release().
In other words, let release() perform the last kfree when the final open
FD is closed.

In hackrf driver, the following race condition occurs:
```
CPU0 CPU1
hackrf_probe()
kzalloc(); // alloc hackrf_dev
....
v4l2_device_register();
....
open("/path/to/dev"); // open hackrf dev
....
v4l2_device_unregister();

v4l2_ioctl();
video_is_registered() // UAF!!
....
close(fd);
v4l2_release() // UAF!!
hackrf_video_release()
kfree(); // DFB!!
```
When a V4L2 or video device is unregistered, the device node is removed so
new open() calls are blocked.
However, file descriptors that are already open-and any in-flight I/O-do
not terminate immediately; they remain valid until the last reference is
dropped and the driver's release() is invoked.
Therefore, freeing device memory on the error path after hackrf_probe()
has registered dev it will lead to a race to use-after-free vuln, since
those already-open handles haven't been released yet.
And since release() free memory too, race to use-after-free and
double-free vuln occur.
To prevent this, if device is registered from probe(), it should be
modified to free memory only through release() rather than calling
kfree() directly.

Please backport commit 8604f633f5937 ("scsi: core: Fix command
pass through retry regression") to linux-6.12.y. The patch fixes
a performance regression for many SCSI devices. Without the fix,
SCSI layer needlessly retries pass through commands that completed
successfully.
Thank you!
Igor
Since commit
commit f16d9fb6cf03 ("power: supply: bq27xxx: Retrieve again when busy")
the console log of some devices with hdq but no bq27000 battery
(like the Pandaboard) is flooded with messages like:
[ 34.247833] power_supply bq27000-battery: driver failed to report 'status' property: -1
as soon as user-space is finding a /sys entry and trying to read the
"status" property.
It turns out that the offending commit changes the logic to now return the
value of cache.flags if it is <0. This is likely under the assumption that
it is an error number. In normal errors from bq27xxx_read() this is indeed
the case.
But there is special code to detect if no bq27000 is installed or accessible
through hdq/1wire and wants to report this. In that case, the cache.flags
are set (historically) to constant -1 which did make reading properties
return -ENODEV. So everything appeared to be fine before the return value was
fixed. Now the -1 is returned as -ENOPERM instead of -ENODEV, triggering the
error condition in power_supply_format_property() which then floods the
console log.
So we change the detection of missing bq27000 battery to simply set
cache.flags = -ENODEV
instead of -1.
