This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.
[arnd: do not add the BKL to those file systems that already
don't use it elsewhere]

libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and
sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split,
the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers
not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always
unloadable even while they're being actively used.
Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for
each low level ahci driver.

Commit e40cc4bdfd introduced
a build breakage if CONFIG_SMP is undefined. This commit
fixes the problem.
This fix is only a workaround. For a real fix, cpu_sibling_mask() should
be defined in UP include code, eg in linux/smp.h, and asm/smp.h should not be
included directly. This fix is currently not possible because asm/smp.h defines
cpu_sibling_mask() unconditionally and is included directly from many source
files.

x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603
tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write
zero bytes, for example.
There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It
wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return
value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and
thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger
false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.

The PKT_CTRL_CMD_STATUS device ioctl retrieves a pointer to a
pktcdvd_device from the global pkt_devs array. The index into this
array is provided directly by the user and is a signed integer, so the
comparison to ensure that it falls within the bounds of this array will
fail when provided with a negative index.
This can be used to read arbitrary kernel memory or cause a crash due to
an invalid pointer dereference. This can be exploited by users with
permission to open /dev/pktcdvd/control (on many distributions, this is
readable by group "cdrom").

p9_virtio_create will only compare the the channel's tag characters
against the device name till the end of the channel's tag but not till
the end of the device name. This means that if a user defines channels
with the tags foo and foobar then he would mount foo when he requested
foonot and may mount foo when he requested foobar.

When the interface is up, using ethtool breaks it because:
a) link is put down but media_timer interval is not shortened to NO_LINK
b) rxtx is stopped but not restarted
Also manual 10baseT-HD (and probably FD too - untested) mode does not work -
the link is forced up, packets are transmitted but nothing is received.
Changing CSR14 value to match documentation (not disabling link check) fixes this.

When TCP uses FACK algorithm to mark lost packets in
tcp_mark_head_lost(), if the number of packets in the (TSO) skb is
greater than the number of packets that should be marked lost, TCP
incorrectly exits the loop and marks no packets lost in the skb. This
underestimates tp->lost_out and affects the recovery/retransmission.
This patch fargments the skb and marks the correct amount of packets
lost.

i.e. outside of code paths run when the device is not yet enabled or
already disabled. In particular, putting the device into D3hot is a
pretty bad idea when it was already brought up.
Furthermore, all prior callers of the function made sure they're
actually dealing with a PCI device, while the newly added one didn't.
In the same spirit, the .get_wol handler shouldn't indicate support
for WOL for non-PCI devices.

The HW by default has RX coalescing on. For iWARP connections, this
causes a 100ms delay in connection establishement due to the ingress
MPA Start message being stalled in HW. So explicitly turn RX
coalescing off when setting up iWARP connections.
This was causing very bad performance for NP64 gather operations using
Open MPI, due to the way it sets up connections on larger jobs.

The PL310 on the ct-ca9x4 tile for the Versatile Express does not need
to add additional latency when accessing its cache RAMs. Unfortunately,
the boot monitor sets this up for an 8-cycle delay on reads and writes,
resulting in greatly reduced memory performance when the L2 cache is
enabled.
This patch sets the L2 RAM latencies to the correct value of 1 cycle
on the ct-ca9x4 tile before enabling the L2 cache.

whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and

work struct.
Fix that by adding a balancing check to the workqueue removal path.

While debugging bit_spin_lock() hang, it was tracked down to gcc-4.4
misoptimization of non-inlined constant_test_bit() due to non-volatile
addr when 'const volatile unsigned long *addr' cast to 'unsigned long *'
with subsequent unconditional jump to pause (and not to the test) leading
to hang.
Compiling with gcc-4.3 or disabling CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING yields inlined
constant_test_bit() and correct jump, thus working around the kernel bug.
Other arches than asm-x86 may implement this slightly differently;
2.6.29 mitigates the misoptimization by changing the function prototype
(commit c4295fbb60) but probably fixing the issue
itself is better.

Clean up a missing exit path in the ipv6 module init routines. In
addrconf_init we call ipv6_addr_label_init which calls register_pernet_subsys
for the ipv6_addr_label_ops structure. But if module loading fails, or if the
ipv6 module is removed, there is no corresponding unregister_pernet_subsys call,
which leaves a now-bogus address on the pernet_list, leading to oopses in
subsequent registrations. This patch cleans up both the failed load path and
the unload path. Tested by myself with good results.
