f3c5c1bfd4 netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant
Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.

This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
allocated for two entries into the traverser.

arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
anyhow.

b5e5a37e36 HID: add HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV_FORCE and HID_QUIRK_NO_IGNORE
Add two quirks to make it possible for usbhid module options to
override whether a device is ignored (HID_QUIRK_NO_IGNORE) and
whether to connect a hiddev device (HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV_FORCE).

Passing HID_QUIRK_NO_IGNORE for your device means that it will
not be ignored by the HID layer, even if present in a blacklist.

HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV_FORCE will force the creation of a hiddev for that
device, making it accessible from user-space.

Tested with an Apple IR Receiver, switching it from using appleir
to using lirc's macmini driver.

bc293d62b2 rcu: Make RCU lockdep check the lockdep_recursion variable
The lockdep facility temporarily disables lockdep checking by
incrementing the current->lockdep_recursion variable.  Such
disabling happens in NMIs and in other situations where lockdep
might expect to recurse on itself.

This patch therefore checks current->lockdep_recursion, disabling RCU
lockdep splats when this variable is non-zero.  In addition, this patch
removes the "likely()", as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

c36a2a6de5 drm/i915: fix tiling limits for i915 class hw v2
Current code is definitely crap: Largest pitch allowed spills into
the TILING_Y bit of the fence registers ... :(

I've rewritten the limits check under the assumption that 3rd gen hw
has a 3d pitch limit of 8kb (like 2nd gen). This is supported by an
otherwise totally misleading XXX comment.

This bug mostly resulted in tiling-corrupted pixmaps because the kernel
allowed too wide buffers to be tiled. Bug brought to the light by the
xf86-video-intel 2.11 release because that unconditionally enabled
tiling for pixmaps, relying on the kernel to check things. Tiling for
the framebuffer was not affected because the ddx does some additional
checks there ensure the buffer is within hw-limits.

v2: Instead of computing the value that would be written into the
hw fence registers and then checking the limits simply check whether
the stride is above the 8kb limit. To better document the hw, add
some WARN_ONs in i915_write_fence_reg like I've done for the i830
case (using the right limits).

22dd82a3f5 agp/intel: split out gmch/gtt probe, part 1
This is essentially the last piece of code that's tying intel-gtt.c
to intel-agp.c. Extract the probe code into it's own function so that
it can be moved to intel-gtt.c.

This requires some slight changes in the ordering of device probe function.
This patch just implements that for better bisectability in case this
introduces bugs.

The biggest change is that the gmch/gtt code doesn't execute a pci
resource fixup anymore. I've dug around in historical git trees, and
this change is to support the agp port on an old HP server with the

8f4695ed1c drm/i915: Attempt to fix watermark setup on 85x (v2)
IS_MOBILE() catches 85x, so we'd always try to use the 9xx FIFO sizing;
since there's an explicit 85x version, this seems wrong.

v2: Handle 830m correctly too.

fc6055a5ba net: Introduce skb_orphan_try()
Transmitted skb might be attached to a socket and a destructor, for
memory accounting purposes.

Traditionally, this destructor is called at tx completion time, when skb
is freed.

When tx completion is performed by another cpu than the sender, this
forces some cache lines to change ownership. XPS was an attempt to give
tx completion to initial cpu.

David idea is to call destructor right before giving skb to device (call
to ndo_start_xmit()). Because device queues are usually small, orphaning
skb before tx completion is not a big deal. Some drivers already do
this, we could do it in upper level.

There is one known exception to this early orphaning, called tx
timestamping. It needs to keep a reference to socket until device can
give a hardware or software timestamp.

This patch adds a skb_orphan_try() helper, to centralize all exceptions
to early orphaning in one spot, and use it in dev_hard_start_xmit().

"tbench 16" results on a Nehalem machine (2 X5570  @ 2.93GHz)
before: Throughput 4428.9 MB/sec 16 procs
after: Throughput 4448.14 MB/sec 16 procs

UDP should get even better results, its destructor being more complex,
since SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE is not set (four atomic ops instead of one)

9958da0501 net: remove time limit in process_backlog()
- There is no point to enforce a time limit in process_backlog(), since
other napi instances dont follow same rule. We can exit after only one
packet processed...
The normal quota of 64 packets per napi instance should be the norm, and
net_rx_action() already has its own time limit.
Note : /proc/net/core/dev_weight can be used to tune this 64 default
value.

- Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED for softnet_data definition.

b91ecb0027 gigaset: include cleanup cleanup
Commit 5a0e3ad causes slab.h to be included twice in many of the
Gigaset driver's source files, first via the common include file
gigaset.h and then a second time directly. Drop the spares, and
use the opportunity to clean up a few more similar cases.

Impact: cleanup, no functional change
