421e02f0e9 igb: add IGB_DCA instead of selecting INTEL_IOATDMA
Add a bool IGB_DCA defined to y if IGB and DCA are enabled, but IGB isn't y while DCA=m.  And thus remove the need to select INTEL_IOATDMA when IGB is enabled, so that non-x86 architectures can build the igb driver.
Based on work/patch from Brice Goglin <brice@myri.com>

c54106bb38 igb: fix tx data corruption with transition to L0s on 82575
The 82575 has an issue in which the DMA will go out of sync if the link
partner goes into an L0s state.  To prevent this we set the pci-e link
partner capability bits to disable the L0s transition on the hw.

6d329af996 cxgb3: Fix kernel crash caused by uninitialized l2t_entry.arpq
Commit 147e70e6 ("cxgb3: Use SKB list interfaces instead of home-grown
implementation.") causes a crash in t3_l2t_send_slow() when an iWARP
connection request is received.  This is because the new l2t_entry.arpq
skb queue is never initialized, and therefore trying to add an skb to
it causes a NULL dereference.  With the old code there was no need to
initialize the queues because the l2t_entry structures were zeroed,
and the code used NULL to mean empty.

Fix this by adding __skb_queue_head_init() when all the l2t_entry
structures get allocated.

febde37119 hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizing
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal
window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console.
The function stores the new window size and schedules a function
that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to
user space (SIGWINCH).
Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep,
the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll()
or khvcd.

This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer.
A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

3feebbb549 hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the
hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios:

1. hvc_console_print()
	If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever.
	I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages.

2. khvcd may loop:
	The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still
	buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the
	khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately).

	However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for
	MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()).
	The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write
	data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is
	set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

It's a fairly basic RTC, with a wake-capable alarm.

Note that many of the pre-release Overo boards now in circulation can't

chip into "secure" mode.  (As in "secure yourself against tampering".)
This isn't an issue on other OMAP3 boards now supported in mainline,
such as Beagle and Labrador.

a30d46c042 mfd: twl4030 IRQ handling update
- Move it into a separate file; clean and streamline it
 - Restructure the init code for reuse during secondary dispatch
 - Support both levels (primary, secondary) of IRQ dispatch
 - Use a workqueue for irq mask/unmask and trigger configuration

Code for two subchips currently share that secondary handler code.
One is the power subchip; its IRQs are now handled by this core,
courtesy of this patch.  The other is the GPIO module, which will
be supported through a later patch.

There are also minor changes to the header file, mostly related
to GPIO support; nothing yet in mainline cares about those.  A
few references to OMAP-specific symbols are disabled; when they
can all be removed, the TWL4030 support ceases being OMAP-specific.

393b47ef23 dm crypt: fix async split
When writing io, dm-crypt has to allocate a new cloned bio
and encrypt the data into newly-allocated pages attached to this bio.
In rare cases, because of hw restrictions (e.g. physical segment limit)
or memory pressure, sometimes more than one cloned bio has to be used,
each processing a different fragment of the original.

Currently there is one waitqueue which waits for one fragment to finish
and continues processing the next fragment.

But when using asynchronous crypto this doesn't work, because several
fragments may be processed asynchronously or in parallel and there is
only one crypt context that cannot be shared between the bio fragments.
The result may be corruption of the data contained in the encrypted bio.

The patch fixes this by allocating new dm_crypt_io structs (with new
crypto contexts) and running them independently.

The fragments contains a pointer to the base dm_crypt_io struct to
handle reference counting, so the base one is properly deallocated
after all the fragments are finished.

In a low memory situation, this only uses one additional object from the
mempool.  If the mempool is empty, the next allocation simple waits for
previous fragments to complete.

7c5f78b9d7 dm snapshot: fix primary_pe race
Fix a race condition with primary_pe ref_count handling.

put_pending_exception runs under dm_snapshot->lock, it does atomic_dec_and_test
on primary_pe->ref_count, and later does atomic_read primary_pe->ref_count.

__origin_write does atomic_dec_and_test on primary_pe->ref_count without holding
dm_snapshot->lock.

This opens the following race condition:
Assume two CPUs, CPU1 is executing put_pending_exception (and holding
dm_snapshot->lock). CPU2 is executing __origin_write in parallel.
primary_pe->ref_count == 2.

CPU1:
if (primary_pe && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count))
	origin_bios = bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios);
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 1. Doesn't load origin_bios

CPU2:
if (first && atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count)) {
	flush_bios(bio_list_get(&primary_pe->origin_bios));
	free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
	/* If we got here, pe_queue is necessarily empty. */
	return r;
}
... decrements primary_pe->ref_count to 0, submits pending bios, frees
primary_pe.

CPU1:
if (!primary_pe || primary_pe != pe)
	free_pending_exception(pe);
... this has no effect.
if (primary_pe && !atomic_read(&primary_pe->ref_count))
	free_pending_exception(primary_pe);
... sees ref_count == 0 (written by CPU 2), does double free !!

This bug can happen only if someone is simultaneously writing to both the
origin and the snapshot.

If someone is writing only to the origin, __origin_write will submit kcopyd
request after it decrements primary_pe->ref_count (so it can't happen that the
finished copy races with primary_pe->ref_count decrementation).

If someone is writing only to the snapshot, __origin_write isn't invoked at all
and the race can't happen.

The race happens when someone writes to the snapshot --- this creates
pending_exception with primary_pe == NULL and starts copying. Then, someone
writes to the same chunk in the snapshot, and __origin_write races with
termination of already submitted request in pending_complete (that calls
put_pending_exception).

This race may be reason for bugs:
  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11636
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465825

The patch fixes the code to make sure that:
1. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns false, the process
must no longer dereference primary_pe (because someone else may free it under
us).
2. If atomic_dec_and_test(&primary_pe->ref_count) returns true, the process
is responsible for freeing primary_pe.

tries to improve the performance by modifying the behaviour
of kcopyd, so that it pushes back an I/O job to the head of
the job queue instead of the tail as process_jobs() currently
does when it has to wait for free pages. This way, write
requests aren't shuffled to cause extra seeks.

I tested the patch against 2.6.27-rc5 and got the following results.
The test is a dd command writing to snapshot origin followed by fsync
to the file just created/updated.  A couple of filesystem benchmarks
gave me similar results in case of sequential writes, while random
writes didn't suffer much.

dd if=/dev/zero of=<somewhere on snapshot origin> bs=4096 count=...
   [conv=notrunc when updating]

1) linux 2.6.27-rc5 without the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)
                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         511.46   610.72    11.81
create,dd+fsync     7.10     6.77     8.13
update,dd         431.63   917.41    12.75
update,dd+fsync     7.79     7.43     8.12

compared with write throughput to LV without any snapshots,
all dd+fsync and 1000 MiB writes perform very poorly.

                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         555.03   608.98   123.29
create,dd+fsync   114.27    72.78    76.65
update,dd         152.34  1267.27   124.04
update,dd+fsync   130.56    77.81    77.84

2) linux 2.6.27-rc5 with the patch, write to snapshot origin,
average throughput (MB/s)

                     10M     100M    1000M
create,dd         537.06   589.44    46.21
create,dd+fsync    31.63    29.19    29.23
update,dd         487.59   897.65    37.76
update,dd+fsync    34.12    30.07    26.85

Although still not on par with plain LV performance -
cannot be avoided because it's copy on write anyway -
this simple patch successfully improves throughtput
of dd+fsync while not affecting the rest.

3007703db8 V4L/DVB (9333): cx88: Not all boards that requires cx88-mpeg has frontends
The multifrontend changes on cx88 assumed that all boards that use cx88-mpeg
supports DVB. This is not true. There also a few analog-only boards based on
Blackboard design that also uses cx88-mpeg. For those boards, there's no need
to allocate dvb frontends.

This patch fixes videobuf allocation for those devices.

8a522c916d V4L/DVB (9331): Remove unused inode parameter from video_ioctl2
inode is never used on video_ioctl2. Remove it and rename the function to
__video_ioctl2. This allows its usage directly as a callback at
fops.unlocked_ioctl.

Since we still need a callback with inode to be used with fops.ioctl,
this patch adds video_ioctl2() that is just a call to __video_ioctl2().

Also, this patch adds some comments about video_ioctl2 and __video_ioctl2
usage at v4l2-ioctl.h.
