e8405f0f61 pcmcia: move Vpp setup to struct pcmcia_device
Some drivers prefer to explicitly set Vpp. Instead of passing the
voltage inside config_req_t, store it in struct pcmcia_device.

fb49fa533f pcmcia: split up modify_configuration() into two fixup functions
pcmcia_modify_configuration() was only used by two drivers to fix up
one issue each: setting the Vpp to a different value, and reducing
the IO width to 8 bit. Introduce two explicitly named functions
handling these things, and remove one further typedef.

cdb138080b pcmcia: do not use win_req_t when calling pcmcia_request_window()
Instead of win_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[2,3,4,5] for up to four iomem
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_window(), the windows found there
are reserved and may be used until pcmcia_release_window() is called.

62bdb288bf MN10300: Handle missing sys_cacheflush() when caching disabled
When caching is disabled on the MN10300 arch, the sys_cacheflush()
function is removed by conditional stuff in the makefiles, but is still
referred to by the syscall table.

Provide a null version that just returns 0 when caching is disabled (or
-EINVAL if the arguments are silly).

fad16e7a7f ahci: fix module refcount breakage introduced by libahci split
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.

stable: only applicable to 2.6.35.

fff2017354 hwmon (coretemp): Fix build breakage if SMP is undefined
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.

01db403cf9 tcp: Fix >4GB writes on 64-bit.
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'.

252a52aa4f Fix pktcdvd ioctl dev_minor range check
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").

0b20406cda net/9p: Mount only matching virtio channels
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.

Thus it is necessary to check both string lengths against each other in
case of a successful partial string match.

387a856287 de2104x: fix ethtool
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.

b3de7559af tcp: fix TSO FACK loss marking in tcp_mark_head_lost
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.

3fd6c88ef8 3c59x: fix regression from patch "Add ethtool WOL support"
This patch (commit 690a1f2002) added a
new call site for acpi_set_WOL() without checking that the function is
actually suitable to be called via

 vortex_set_wol+0xcd/0xe0 [3c59x]
 dev_ethtool+0xa5a/0xb70
 dev_ioctl+0x2e0/0x4b0
 T.961+0x49/0x50
 sock_ioctl+0x47/0x290
 do_vfs_ioctl+0x7f/0x340
 sys_ioctl+0x80/0xa0
 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

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.

bec658ff31 RDMA/cxgb3: Turn off RX coalescing for iWARP connections
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.

2de59fea8b ARM: 6411/1: vexpress: set RAM latencies to 1 cycle for PL310 on ct-ca9x4 tile
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.

00740c5854 amd64_edac: Fix driver module removal
f4347553b3 removed the edac polling
mechanism in favor of using a notifier chain for conveying MCE
information to edac. However, the module removal path didn't test
whether the driver had setup the polling function workqueue at all and
the rmmod process was hanging in the kernel at try_to_del_timer_sync()
in the cancel_delayed_work() path, trying to cancel an uninitialized
work struct.

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

c9e2fbd909 x86: Avoid 'constant_test_bit()' misoptimization due to cast to non-volatile
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.

2cc6d2bf3d ipv6: add a missing unregister_pernet_subsys call
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.

bc68580d41 s390: use free_netdev(netdev) instead of kfree()
Freeing netdev without free_netdev() leads to net, tx leaks.
I might lead to dereferencing freed pointer.
