058ddee562 [ARM] Fix SMP booting with non-zero PHYS_OFFSET
The existing code tries to get the pmd for the temporary page table
by doing:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

Since we have a two level page table, pmd_offset() is a no-op, so
this just has a casting effect from a pgd to a pmd - the address
argument is unused.  So this can't work.

Normally, we'd do:

	pgd = pgd_offset(&init_mm, PHYS_OFFSET);
	...
	pmd = pmd_offset(pgd, PHYS_OFFSET);

to get the pmd you want.  However, pgd_offset() takes the mm_struct,
not the (unattached) pgd we just allocated.  So, instead use:

        pgd = pgd_alloc(&init_mm);
        pmd = pmd_offset(pgd + pgd_index(PHYS_OFFSET), PHYS_OFFSET);

cd55ef5a10 IB/mad: Test ib_create_send_mad() return with IS_ERR(), not == NULL
In case of error, the function ib_create_send_mad() returns an ERR
pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer.  So testing the return
value for error should be done with IS_ERR, not by comparing with
NULL.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is
as follows:

(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@correct_null_test@
expression x,E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = ib_create_send_mad(...)
<... when != x = E
if (
(
- x@p2 != NULL
+ ! IS_ERR ( x )
|
- x@p2 == NULL
+ IS_ERR( x )
)
 )
S1
else S2
...>
? x = E;
// </smpl>

Current code limits the max message size to 2K for UD QPs, while MTU

28111eb2f5 [Bluetooth] Add parameters to control BNEP header compression
The Bluetooth qualification for PAN demands testing with BNEP header
compression disabled. This is actually pretty stupid and the Linux
implementation outsmarts the test system since it compresses whenever
possible. So to pass qualification two need parameters have been added
to control the compression of source and destination headers.

bba8116586 PCI: make pci_register_driver() a macro
alpha:

CC [M]  drivers/usb/gadget/u_ether.o
In file included from include/asm/dma-mapping.h:7,
                 from include/linux/dma-mapping.h:52,
                 from include/linux/dmaengine.h:29,
                 from include/linux/skbuff.h:29,
                 from include/linux/if_ether.h:114,
                 from include/linux/etherdevice.h:27,
                 from drivers/usb/gadget/u_ether.c:29:
include/linux/pci.h: In function 'pci_register_driver':
include/linux/pci.h:673: error: 'KBUILD_MODNAME' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/pci.h:673: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/linux/pci.h:673: error: for each function it appears in.)

Sam says:

The problem is that u_ether.o is used by two modules so when we build it
KBUILD_MODNAME is not defined because kbuild does not know what value to
use.

And in pci.h we have the following inline:

static inline int __must_check pci_register_driver(struct pci_driver *driver)
{
        return __pci_register_driver(driver, THIS_MODULE, KBUILD_MODNAME);
}

And alpha uses dma-mapping.h to nullify a number of functions that seem to
require something from pci.h.

Making it a macro fixes this particular problem.  However, the underlying issue
of a file using KBUILD_MODNAME and being shared between multiple modules is
*not* addressed.  I guess the answer there is "don't do that".

e32f85f7b9 mac80211: fix use of skb->cb for mesh forwarding
Now we deal with mesh forwarding before the 802.11->802.3 conversion, thus
eliminating a few unnecessary steps. The next hop lookup is called from
ieee80211_master_start_xmit() instead of subif_start_xmit(). Until the next hop
is found, RA in the frame will be all zeroes for frames originating from the
device. For forwarded frames, RA will contain the TA of the received frame,
which will be necessary to send a path error if a next hop is not found.

eda0c003d1 p54: Fix for TX sequence number problem
Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

e6fce5b916 pktgen: multiqueue etc.
Sofar far pktgen have had a restriction to only use one device per kernel 
thread. With the new multiqueue architecture this is no longer adequate.

The patch below is an effort to remove this by in pktgen configuration 
adding a tag to  the device name a la eth0@0 etc. The tag is used for 
usual device config just as before. Also a new flag is introduced to mirror 
queue_map with sending threads smp_processor_id() QUEUE_MAP_CPU.

An example: We use 4 CPU's to send to one 10g interface (eth0)
 and we use the new tagging to send a mix of packet sizes, 64, 576 and
 1500 bytes. Also we use TX queues according to smp_processor_id()

db018a5f49 bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfs
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs
of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a
sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves)
the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a
lockup or a crash.  This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on
the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module
ib_ipoib is unloaded)

This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay
unaffected.

f0c76d6177 bonding: refactor mii monitor
Refactor mii monitor.  As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.

	This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase.  The commit phase
is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
only called when inspection finds something to change.
