isdn: document Kernel CAPI driver interface

Create a file Documentation/isdn/INTERFACE.CAPI describing the
interface between the kernel CAPI subsystem and ISDN device drivers,
analogous to the existing Documentation/isdn/INTERFACE for the old
isdn4linux subsystem. Also add kerneldoc comments to the exported
functions in drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.c.

193f284d49 Btrfs: ratelimit IO error printks
Btrfs has printks for various IO errors, including bad checksums and
mismatches between what we expect the block headers to contain and what
we actually find on the disk.

Longer term we need a real reporting mechanism for this, but for now
printk is going to have to do.

d6397baee4 Btrfs: When shrinking, only update disk size on success
Previously, we updated a device's size prior to attempting a shrink
operation.  This patch moves the device resizing logic to only happen if
the shrink completes successfully.  In the process, it introduces a new
field to btrfs_device -- disk_total_bytes -- to track the on-disk size.

495dce123c ixgbe: Fix WoL functionality for 82599 KX4 devices
The current code writes the PME enabled bit in PCI config space which is
wrong.  This was needed for pre-release hardware, and was not removed from
the driver.  Also, we need to clear the WUS (wake up status) after we
resume.  Otherwise we can't wake for the same event again since it's still
asserted in the hardware.  Plus, the multicast lists were being written
improperly, causing multicast WoL to fail.

c80d471a47 Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro.
This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.

I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place.  I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

adc667e84f vlan: update vlan carrier state for admin up/down
Currently, the VLAN event handler does not adjust the VLAN
device's carrier state when the real device or the VLAN device is set
administratively up or down.

	The following patch adds a transfer of operating state from the
real device to the VLAN device when the real device is administratively
set up or down, and sets the carrier state up or down during init, open
and close of the VLAN device.

	This permits observers above the VLAN device that care about the
carrier state (bonding's link monitor, for example) to receive updates
for administrative changes by more closely mimicing the behavior of real
devices.

c4b5a61431 ext4: Do not try to validate extents on special files
The EXTENTS_FL flag should never be set on special files, but if it
is, don't bother trying to validate that the extents tree is valid,
since only files, directories, and non-fast symlinks will ever have an
extent data structure.  We perhaps should flag the filesystem as being
corrupted if we see a special file (named pipes, device nodes, Unix
domain sockets, etc.) with the EXTENTS_FL flag, but e2fsck doesn't
currently check this case, so we'll just ignore this for now, since
it's harmless.

Without this fix, a special device with the extents flag is flagged as
an error by the kernel, so it is impossible to access or delete the
inode, but e2fsck doesn't see it as a problem, leading to
confused/frustrated users.

0c8454f566 PM/Hibernate: Fix waiting for image device to appear on resume
Commit c751085943 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for
SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to
scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for
the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place.

Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which
is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet.  Also,
it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait
for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the
case.

Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of
software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it
doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

84baf74bf2 ROMFS: romfs_lookup() shouldn't be doing a partial name comparison
romfs_lookup() should be using a routine akin to strcmp() on the backing store,
rather than one akin to strncmp().  If it uses the latter, it's liable to match
/bin/shutdown when looking up /bin/sh.

a5422a5111 lib: find_last_bit.o needed by a module only, move it from lib to obj
Currently, although find_last_bit is EXPORTed, it is statically linked
with the kernel and is referenced only under CONFIG_SMP.

When CONFIG_SMP is undefined and find_last_bit is referenced only by
modules, linking fails with:

  ERROR: "find_last_bit" [fs/nfs/nfs.ko] undefined!

91ac033d83 CacheFiles: Fix the documentation to use the correct credential pointer names
Adjust the CacheFiles documentation to use the correct names of the credential
pointers in task_struct.

The documentation was using names from the old versions of the credentials
patches.

e5b89542ea virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacks
The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since
callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this
could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

a9e817425d ext4: Ignore i_file_acl_high unless EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT is present
Don't try to look at i_file_acl_high unless the INCOMPAT_64BIT feature
bit is set.  The field is normally zero, but older versions of e2fsck
didn't automatically check to make sure of this, so in the spirit of
"be liberal in what you accept", don't look at i_file_acl_high unless
we are using a 64-bit filesystem.

59bc5c758e Btrfs: fix deadlocks and stalls on dead root removal
After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through
snapshot removal.  This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by
COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to.

Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which
helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up
as the transaction is trying to close.

But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other
procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress.

We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction
commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph
and makes things slower in general.

This patch changes things to avoid the throttling while we sleep.

e980b50cda Btrfs: fix fallocate deadlock on inode extent lock
The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range
being fallocated, and then runs through insert_reserved_extent on each
extent as they are allocated.

The problem with this is that btrfs_drop_extents may decide to try
and take the same extent lock fallocate was already holding.  The solution
used here is to push down knowledge of the range that is already locked
going into btrfs_drop_extents.

It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.
