bfb743740e [SCSI] tgt: move tsk_mgmt_response callback to transport class
This moves tsk_mgmt_response callback in struct scsi_host_template to
struct scsi_transport_template since struct scsi_transport_template is
more suitable for the task management stuff.

62fe88261b [SCSI] srp_transport: add target driver support
This adds minimum target driver support:

- srp_rport_{add,del} calls scsi_tgt_it_nexus_{create,destroy} for
target drivers.

- add a callback to notify target drivers of the nexus operation
results to srp_function_template.

2c47f9efbe [SCSI] tgt: add I_T nexus support
tgt uses scsi_host as I_T nexus. This works for ibmvstgt because it
creates one scsi_host for one initiator. However, other target drivers
don't work like that.

This adds I_T nexus support, which enable one scsi_host to handle
multiple initiators. New scsi_tgt_it_nexus_create/destroy functions
are expected be called transport classes. For example, ibmvstgt
creates an initiator remote port, then the srp transport calls
tgt_it_nexus_create. tgt doesn't manages I_T nexus, instead it tells
tgtd, user-space daemon, to create a new I_T nexus.

On the receiving the response from tgtd, tgt calls
shost->transportt->it_nexus_response. transports should notify a
lld. The srp transport uses it_nexus_response callback in
srp_function_template to do that.

7f353bf29e [NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bonding
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the
bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum
flags and SG/TSO.

For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set.  If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.

The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.

In fact, the same code can be used for both.  So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both
bonding and bridging.

In the process I've made small adjustments such as only
setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device
supports it.

d3f7eae182 i386: Use global flag to disable broken local apic timer on AMD CPUs.
The Averatec 2370 and some other Turion laptop BIOS seems to program the
ENABLE_C1E MSR inconsistently between cores. This confuses the lapic
use heuristics because when C1E is enabled anywhere it seems to affect
the complete chip.

Use a global flag instead of a per cpu flag to handle this.
If any CPU has C1E enabled disabled lapic use.

Thanks to Cal Peake for debugging.

ab144f5ec6 i386: Make patching more robust, fix paravirt issue
Commit 19d36ccdc3 "x86: Fix alternatives
and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" uses code which is
being patched for patching.

In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it
calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions
with nop_out().  nop_out calls text_poke() which calls
lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val):
that call site is one of the places we patch.

If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only
need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself.
This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to
marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it
does now.  It also means all patching goes through text_poke(), which
is known to be safe (apply_alternatives is also changed to make a
single patch).

Without this there is a handful of functions that are referenced in here

73c59afc65 finish i386 and x86-64 sysdata conversion
This patch finishes the i386 and x86-64 ->sysdata conversion and hopefully
also fixes Riku's and Andy's observed bugs.  It is based on Yinghai Lu's
and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes:

- introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of
  pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will
  allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus().
- always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this
  sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things
  (e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default
  struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated
  pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly
  changing the default structure is too high.
- this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is
  always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards
  to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node'
  parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node
  when it becomes known).

The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ,
VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64.  Unfortunately none of my
machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor.

Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen?
Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?

42fd552e86 fix serial buffer memory leak
Patch c5c34d4862 (tty: flush flip buffer on
ldisc input queue flush) introduces a race condition which can lead to memory
leaks.

The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being
pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc().

flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline
receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both
tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it
restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the
buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a
new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost
forever without being released.

(Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting
the bug)

- Use tty->flags bits for the flush status.

- Wait for the flag to clear again before returning

- Fix the doc error noted

- Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending

8f2ea1fd3f [POWERPC] Fix initialization and usage of dma_mask
powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to
break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example.

First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree
doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of
set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the
one passed in as an argument.

This fixes these problems.

a4ac01c36e sched: fix bug in balance_tasks()
There are two problems with balance_tasks() and how it used:

1. The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old
move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the
active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the
possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either.
  These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated
with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong).

2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same
this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or
there is a risk of moving too much load.  E.g. if the highest priority
task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt
class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the
new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class
initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the
original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being
held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place.
  This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and
excessive load being moved.

The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to
best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference
parameter to the various functions involved.

load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is
only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set.  This should
preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks
around the available CPUs while improving system performance when
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.

4301065920 sched: simplify move_tasks()
The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct
capabilities:

1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run
queue to another; and
2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to
another.

The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance()
and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of
move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no
notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken.

The second capability is used in exactly one place,
active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as
before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure.

This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the
smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one
function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would
have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old
move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()).  However, the new modular
design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted
and this patch addresses that solution by:

1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by
active_load_balance(); and
2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a
specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.

One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task()
or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance()
moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the
amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer
from the argument list.  This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and
slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of
sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations.

Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible
but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair()
so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted).

NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even
small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.

501092929c acpi-cpufreq: Fix some x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver issues
This patch addresses some issues in x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver:

1.  Current memory allocation for acpi_perf_data is actually open-coded
   alloc_percpu().  The patch defines and handles acpi_perf_data as percpu
   data.  The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this
   change.

2. Won't load driver in acpi_cpufreq_early_init() failure case.

3. Add __init for acpi_cpufreq_early_init().

5e11934d13 NFS: Fix put_nfs_open_context
We need to grab the inode->i_lock atomically with the last reference put in
order to remove the open context that is being freed from the
nfsi->open_files list.

Fix by converting the kref to a standard atomic counter and then using
atomic_dec_and_lock()...

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for pointing out the problem.
