2430af8b7f bonding: 802.3ad - fix agg_device_up
The slave member of struct aggregator does not necessarily point
to a slave which is part of the aggregator. It points to the
slave structure containing the aggregator structure, while
completely different slaves (or no slaves at all) may be part of
the aggregator.

The agg_device_up() function wrongly uses agg->slave to find the state
of the aggregator.  Use agg->lag_ports->slave instead. The bug has
been introduced by commit 4cd6fe1c64
("bonding: fix link down handling in 802.3ad mode").

8825537521 net: tun: convert to hw_features
This changes offload setting behaviour to what I think is correct:
 - offloads set via ethtool mean what admin wants to use (by default
   he wants 'em all)
 - offloads set via ioctl() mean what userspace is expecting to get
   (this limits which admin wishes are granted)
 - TUN_NOCHECKSUM is ignored, as it might cause broken packets when
   forwarded (ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY means that checksum
   was verified, not that it can be ignored)

If TUN_NOCHECKSUM is implemented, it should set skb->csum_* and
skb->ip_summed (= CHECKSUM_PARTIAL) for known protocols and let others
be verified by kernel when necessary.

TUN_NOCHECKSUM handling was introduced by commit
f43798c276:

9ff4cfb3fc [S390] kvm-390: Let kernel exit SIE instruction on work
From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

This patch fixes the sie exit on interrupts. The low level
interrupt handler returns to the PSW address in pt_regs and not
to the PSW address in the lowcore.
Without this fix a cpu bound guest might never leave guest state
since the host interrupt handler would blindly return to the
SIE instruction, even on need_resched and friends.

e35c76cd47 [S390] pfault: fix token handling
f6649a7e "[S390] cleanup lowcore access from external interrupts" changed
handling of external interrupts. Instead of letting the external interrupt
handlers accessing the per cpu lowcore the entry code of the kernel reads
already all fields that are necessary and passes them to the handlers.
The pfault interrupt handler was incorrectly converted. It tries to
dereference a value which used to be a pointer to a lowcore field. After
the conversion however it is not anymore the pointer to the field but its
content. So instead of a dereference only a cast is needed to get the
task pointer that caused the pfault.

Fixes a NULL pointer dereference and a subsequent kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address (null)

bffbbd2df4 [S390] qdio: reset error states immediately
The qdio hardware may surpress further interrupts as long as a SBAL is in
the error state. That can lead to unnotified data in the SBALs following
the error state. To prevent this behaviour change the SBAL[s] in error
state immediately to another program owned state so interrupts are again
received for further traffic on the device.

65f8da4759 [S390] dasd: fix race between open and offline
The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
has already been freed.
To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.

f42ab08529 GFS2: Optimise glock lru and end of life inodes
The GLF_LRU flag introduced in the previous patch can be
used to check if a glock is on the lru list when a new
holder is queued and if so remove it, without having first
to get the lru_lock.

The main purpose of this patch however is to optimise the
glocks left over when an inode at end of life is being
evicted. Previously such glocks were left with the GLF_LFLUSH
flag set, so that when reclaimed, each one required a log flush.
This patch resets the GLF_LFLUSH flag when there is nothing
left to flush thus preventing later log flushes as glocks are
reused or demoted.

In order to do this, we need to keep track of the number of
revokes which are outstanding, and also to clear the GLF_LFLUSH
bit after a log commit when only revokes have been processed.

627c10b7e4 GFS2: Improve tracing support (adds two flags)
This adds support for two new flags. One keeps track of whether
the glock is on the LRU list or not. The other isn't really a
flag as such, but an indication of whether the glock has an
attached object or not. This indication is reported without
any locking, which is ok since we do not dereference the object
pointer but merely report whether it is NULL or not.

Also, this fixes one place where a tracepoint was missing, which
was at the point we remove deallocated blocks from the journal.

29687a2ac8 GFS2: Alter point of entry to glock lru list for glocks with an address_space
Rather than allowing the glocks to be scheduled for possible
reclaim as soon as they have exited the journal, this patch
delays their entry to the list until the glocks in question
are no longer in use.

This means that we will rely on the vm for writeback of all
dirty data and metadata from now on. When glocks are added
to the lru list they should be freeable much faster since all
the I/O required to free them should have already been completed.

This should lead to much better I/O patterns under low memory
conditions.

b68a70c496 powerpc: Replace open coded instruction patching with patch_instruction/patch_branch
There are a few places we patch instructions without using
patch_instruction and patch_branch, probably because they
predated it. Fix it.

f5be2dc0bd powerpc/nohash: Allocate stale_map[cpu] on CPU_UP_PREPARE not CPU_ONLINE
Currently we allocate the stale_map for a cpu when it comes online,
this leaves open a small window where a process can be scheduled
on the cpu before the stale_map is allocated. Instead allocate
the stale_map at CPU_UP_PREPARE time, that way it will be always
available before tasks start running.

It is possible the cpu fails to come up, in which case we should free
the stale_map, so add a CPU_UP_CANCELED case to do that.

de30097476 powerpc/smp: smp_ops->kick_cpu() should be able to fail
When we start a cpu we use smp_ops->kick_cpu(), which currently
returns void, it should be able to fail. Convert it to return
int, and update all uses.

Convert all the current error cases to return -ENOENT, which is
what would eventually be returned by __cpu_up() currently when
it doesn't detect the cpu as coming up in time.

6c5b59b913 powerpc/boot: Add an ePAPR compliant boot wrapper
This is a first cut at making bootwrapper code which will
produce a zImage compliant with the requirements set down
by ePAPR.

This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree
blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on
to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a
relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image
requirements.

For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will
generate warnings if some of the ePAPR entry condition
guarantees are not met.

6975a783d7 powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper as a relocatable ET_DYN
This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow
building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent
executable.  This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output
file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will
process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address.

This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format
must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to
produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image).

Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.

ee7a2aa3d3 powerpc/mm: Fix slice state initialization for Book3E
On Book3E, MMU_NO_CONTEXT != 0, but the slice_mm_new_context()
macro assumes that it is.  This means that the map of the
page sizes for each slice is always initialized to zeroes
(which happens to be 4k pages), rather than to the correct
default base page size value - which might be 64k.

This patch corrects the problem.

fee68723cf md: Cleanup after raid45->raid0 takeover
Problem:
After raid4->raid0 takeover operation, another takeover operation
(e.g raid0->raid10) results "kernel oops".
Root cause:
Variables 'degraded' in mddev structure is not cleared
on raid45->raid0 takeover.

This patch reset this variable.

3b71bd9337 md: Fix dev_sectors on takeover from raid0 to raid4/5
A raid0 array doesn't set 'dev_sectors' as each device might
contribute a different number of sectors.
So when converting to a RAID4 or RAID5 we need to set dev_sectors
as they need the number.
We have already verified that in fact all devices do contribute
the same number of sectors, so use that number.
