Although this patch touches some of the code that will affect endian

This is very similar to bnx2x conversion, but simpler since no special

Using build_skb() reduces cache line misses in the driver, since we
use cache hot skb instead of cold ones. Number of in-flight sk_buff
structures is lower, they are more likely recycled in SLUB caches
while still hot.

ec012476af usb_storage: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()
The current implementation of set_freezable_with_signal() is buggy and
tricky to get right.  usb-storage is the only user and its use can be
avoided trivially.

All usb-storage wants is to be able to sleep with timeout and get
woken up if freezing() becomes true.  This can be trivially
implemented by doing interruptible wait w/ freezing() included in the
wait condition.  There's no reason to use set_freezable_with_signal().

Perform interruptible wait on freezing() instead of using
set_freezable_with_signal(), which is scheduled for removal.

being thawed, the freezer can see the existing FROZEN and consider the
tasks to be frozen but they can clear FROZEN without checking the new

96ee6d8539 freezer: fix set_freezable[_with_signal]() race
A kthread doing set_freezable*() may race with on-going PM freeze and
the freezer might think all tasks are frozen while the new freezable
kthread is merrily proceeding to execute code paths which aren't
supposed to be executing during PM freeze.

Reimplement set_freezable[_with_signal]() using __set_freezable() such
that freezable PF flags are modified under freezer_lock and
try_to_freeze() is called afterwards.  This eliminates race condition
against freezing.

a3201227f8 freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_FREEZE
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.

This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile.  A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.

This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze.  On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.

This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply.  As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.

* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task().  Replace the open
  coded tests with freezing().

* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
  try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path.  This is necessary as freezing()
  is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.

-v2: Oleg pointed out that re-freezing FROZEN cgroup could increment
     system_freezing_cnt.  Fixed.

22b4e111fa cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZE
TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test
whether any freezing condition is in effect.  Make the following
changes in preparation.

* Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it
  return bool.

* Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock
  instead of task_lock().  This makes the state dereferencing racy
  against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
  without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
  This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.

* freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the
  target state.

-v2: Oleg pointed out that freeze_change_state() was setting
     freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of
     CGROUP_FREEZING.  Fixed.

-v3: Matt pointed out that setting CGROUP_FROZEN used to always invoke
     try_to_freeze_cgroup() regardless of the current state.  Patch
     updated such that the actual freeze/thaw operations are always
     performed on invocation.  This shouldn't make any difference
     unless something is broken.

03afed8bc2 freezer: clean up freeze_processes() failure path
freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy.  Freezing is canceled
for workqueues and tasks which aren't frozen yet but frozen tasks are
left alone and should be thawed by the caller and of course some
callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it.

This patch updates __thaw_task() to handle cancelation correctly and
makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call
thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed
on failure.  Unnecessary [suspend_]thaw_processes() calls are removed
from kernel/power/hibernate.c, suspend.c and user.c.

While at it, restructure error checking if clause in suspend_prepare()
to be less weird.

85f1d47665 freezer: test freezable conditions while holding freezer_lock
try_to_freeze_tasks() and thaw_processes() use freezable() and

frozen() tests inside freezer_lock in freeze_task().

thaw_processes() can simply drop freezable() test as frozen() test in
__thaw_task() is enough.

6907483b4e freezer: make freezing indicate freeze condition in effect
Currently freezing (TIF_FREEZE) and frozen (PF_FROZEN) states are
interlocked - freezing is set to request freeze and when the task
actually freezes, it clears freezing and sets frozen.

This interlocking makes things more complex than necessary - freezing
doesn't mean there's freezing condition in effect and frozen doesn't
match the task actually entering and leaving frozen state (it's
cleared by the thawing task).

This patch makes freezing indicate that freeze condition is in effect.
A task enters and stays frozen if freezing.  This makes PF_FROZEN
manipulation done only by the task itself and prevents wakeup from
__thaw_task() leaking outside of refrigerator.

The only place which needs to tell freezing && !frozen is
try_to_freeze_task() to whine about tasks which don't enter frozen.
It's updated to test the condition explicitly.

With the change, frozen() state my linger after __thaw_task() until
the task wakes up and exits fridge.  This can trigger BUG_ON() in
update_if_frozen().  Work it around by testing freezing() && frozen()
instead of frozen().

-v2: Oleg pointed out missing re-check of freezing() when trying to
     clear FROZEN and possible spurious BUG_ON() trigger in
     update_if_frozen().  Both fixed.

0c9af09262 freezer: use dedicated lock instead of task_lock() + memory barrier
Freezer synchronization is needlessly complicated - it's by no means a
hot path and the priority is staying unintrusive and safe.  This patch
makes it simply use a dedicated lock instead of piggy-backing on
task_lock() and playing with memory barriers.

On the failure path of try_to_freeze_tasks(), locking is moved from it
to cancel_freezing().  This makes the frozen() test racy but the race
here is a non-issue as the warning is printed for tasks which failed
to enter frozen for 20 seconds and race on PF_FROZEN at the last
moment doesn't change anything.

This simplifies freezer implementation and eases further changes
including some race fixes.

Writeback and thinkpad_acpi have been using thaw_process() to prevent
deadlock between the freezer and kthread_stop(); unfortunately, this

refrigerator if necessary but is guaranteed to return if
kthread_stop() is invoked.  Both thaw_process() users are converted to

Note that this deadlock condition exists for many of freezable
kthreads.  They need to be converted to use the new should_stop or

	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	try_to_freeze();
	if (kthread_should_stop())
		break;
	schedule();

If kthread_stop() races with ->state restoration, the restoration can
restore ->state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after kthread_stop() sets it to
TASK_RUNNING but kthread_should_stop() may still see zero
->should_stop because there's no memory barrier between restoring
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and kthread_should_stop() test.

This isn't restricted to kthread_should_stop().  current->state is
often used in memory barrier based synchronization and silently
restoring it w/o mb breaks them.

Use set_current_state() instead.

4f795b25ea stmmac: mask mmc interrupts
We need to mask the MMC irq otherwise if we raise the mmc
interrupts that are not handled the driver loops in the
handler.
In fact, by default all mmc counters (only used for stats)
are managed in SW and registers are cleared on each READ.

37f07023d3 net: Change mii to ethtool advertisement function names
This patch implements advice by Ben Hutchings to change the mii side of
the function names to look more like the register whose values they
convert.  New LPA translation functions have been added as well.
