Current documentation over use case for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
only acknowledges functions which are "an internal implementation
issue, and not really an interface". In practice these days
though we have some maintainers taking on preferences to require
all new functionality go in with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
A maintainer asking developers to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
for new functionality tends to be a well accepted and understood
position that maintainers can take and typically requires the
maintainers educating contributing developers on their own
positions and requirements.
Developers who submit code to maintainers not familiar with
these preferences as optional for new functionality need explicit
guidence though as existing documentation does not acknowledge
this as a valid possibility. Without this being documented some
maintainers are reluctant to accept new functionality with
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
This extends the use case documentation for EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
to acknowledge acceptance for new functionality.

Also specify how upstream commit ids should be referenced in patches

While trying to test a Cinterion GSM/GPS/3G module I had reconfigured
the USB interface by mistake and therefore needed to run a different
USB driver than CDC-ACM. It turned out that I need the "usbserial" driver.
This file is an official description how to use it:
Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt
But it is outdated. The parameters vendor= and product= have been
superseded by a /sys interface.
Here was the solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175499
insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x####
becomes (first #### is vendor, second is product)
modprobe usbserial
echo #### #### >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id
This patch changes the documentation file to describe the modern variant.
Please note that the old one still works (if compiled as module).

The estimate of necessary transaction credits in ext4_flex_group_add()
is too pessimistic. It reserves credit for sb, resize inode, and resize
inode dindirect block for each group added in a flex group although they
are always the same block and thus it is enough to account them only
once. Also the number of modified GDT block is overestimated since we
fit EXT4_DESC_PER_BLOCK(sb) descriptors in one block.
Make the estimation more precise. That reduces number of requested
credits enough that we can grow 20 MB filesystem (which has 1 MB
journal, 79 reserved GDT blocks, and flex group size 16 by default).

Currently it is possible to lose whole file system block worth of data
when we hit the specific interaction with unwritten and delayed extents
in status extent tree.
The problem is that when we insert delayed extent into extent status
tree the only way to get rid of it is when we write out delayed buffer.
However there is a limitation in the extent status tree implementation
so that when inserting unwritten extent should there be even a single
delayed block the whole unwritten extent would be marked as delayed.
At this point, there is no way to get rid of the delayed extents,
because there are no delayed buffers to write out. So when a we write
into said unwritten extent we will convert it to written, but it still
remains delayed.
When we try to write into that block later ext4_da_map_blocks() will set
the buffer new and delayed and map it to invalid block which causes
the rest of the block to be zeroed loosing already written data.
For now we can fix this by simply not allowing to set delayed status on
written extent in the extent status tree. Also add WARN_ON() to make
sure that we notice if this happens in the future.
This problem can be easily reproduced by running the following xfs_io.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 4096 2048" \
-c "falloc 0 131072" \
-c "pwrite -S 0xbb 65536 2048" \
-c "fsync" /mnt/test/fff
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xdd 67584 2048" /mnt/test/fff
This can be theoretically also reproduced by at random by running fsx,
but it's not very reliable, though on machines with bigger page size
(like ppc) this can be seen more often (especially xfstest generic/127)

aligned to 4 byte boundaries anyway. Filenames can also be padded to

Patches 7cba160ad "powernv/cpuidle: Redesign idle states management"
and 77b54e9f2 "powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus"
use non-volatile condition registers (cr2, cr3 and cr4) early in the system
reset interrupt handler (system_reset_pSeries()) before it has been determined
if state loss has occurred. If state loss has not occurred, control returns via
the power7_wakeup_noloss() path which does not restore those condition
registers, leaving them corrupted.
Fix this by restoring the condition registers in the power7_wakeup_noloss()
case.
This is apparent when running a KVM guest on hardware that does not
support winkle or sleep and the guest makes use of secondary threads. In
practice this means Power7 machines, though some early unreleased Power8
machines may also be susceptible.
The secondary CPUs are taken off line before the guest is started and
they call pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self(). This checks support for sleep
states (in this case there is no support) and power7_nap() is called.
When the CPU is woken, power7_nap() returns and because the CPU is
still off line, the main while loop executes again. The sleep states
support test is executed again, but because the tested values cannot
have changed, the compiler has optimized the test away and instead we
rely on the result of the first test, which has been left in cr3
and/or cr4. With the result overwritten, the wrong branch is taken and
power7_winkle() is called on a CPU that does not support it, leading
to it stalling.

Fixes: 77b54e9f21 ("powernv/powerpc: Add winkle support for offline cpus")

Commit 1c509148b ("powerpc/eeh: Do probe on pci_dn") probes EEH
devices in early stage, which is reasonable to pSeries platform.
However, it's wrong for PowerNV platform because the PE# isn't
determined until the resources (IO and MMIO) are assigned to
PE in hotplug case. So we have to delay probing EEH devices
for PowerNV platform until the PE# is assigned.

When asserting reset in pcibios_set_pcie_reset_state(), the PE
is enforced to (hardware) frozen state in order to drop unexpected
PCI transactions (except PCI config read/write) automatically by
hardware during reset, which would cause recursive EEH error.
However, the (software) frozen state EEH_PE_ISOLATED is missed.
When users get 0xFF from PCI config or MMIO read, EEH_PE_ISOLATED
is set in PE state retrival backend. Unfortunately, nobody (the
reset handler or the EEH recovery functinality in host) will clear
EEH_PE_ISOLATED when the PE has been passed through to guest.
The patch sets and clears EEH_PE_ISOLATED properly during reset
in function pcibios_set_pcie_reset_state() to fix the issue.

The incorrect ordering of operations during cpu dlpar add results in invalid
affinity for the cpu being added. The ibm,associativity property in the
device tree is populated with all zeroes for the added cpu which results in
invalid affinity mappings and all cpus appear to belong to node 0.
This occurs because rtas configure-connector is called prior to making the
rtas set-indicator calls. Phyp does not assign affinity information
for a cpu until the rtas set-indicator calls are made to set the isolation
and allocation state.
Correct the order of operations to make the rtas set-indicator
calls (done in dlpar_acquire_drc) before calling rtas configure-connector.

the recent commits in the clockevents_notify() removal series
that put a call to a function which had to be executed with
disabled interrupts into a code path running with enabled
interrupts (Rafael J Wysocki).
- Fix for a build problem in ACPICA (with GCC 4.5) introduced by one
of the recent ACPICA tools commits that added a duplicate typedef
to one of the ACPICA's header files by mistake (Olaf Hering).
- Fix for a regression in the ACPI SBS (Smart Battery Subsystem)
driver introduced during the 3.18 development cycle causing the
smart battery manager to be marked as not present when it should
be marked as present (Chris Bainbridge).

One nice fix is Peter's patch to make the old good SB Audigy PCI to
work with 32bit DMA instead of 31bit. This allows the MIDI synth
running on modern machines again. Along with it, a few fixes for
emu10k1 have merged.
In ASoC side, there is one fix in the common code, but it's just
trivial additions of static inline functions for CONFIG_PM=n. The rest
are various device-specific small fixes.
Last but not least, a few HD-audio fixes are included, as usual, too.

RGMII-ID uses an internal delay within the transmitter or receiver. This
feature is phy specific. The rest of the communication is normal RGMII.

'PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII'.

When system is out of memory, refilling of RX buffers fails while
the driver continue to pass the received packets to the kernel stack.
At some point, when all RX buffers deplete, driver may fall into a
sleep, and not recover when memory for new RX buffers is once again
availible. This is because hardware does not have valid descriptors,
so no interrupt will be generated for the driver to return to work
in napi context. Fix it by schedule the napi poll function from
stats_task delayed workqueue, as long as the allocations fail.

While testing this driver with DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK
enabled did not produce any traces, it would be more prudent in the
case of tx_clean_lock to use spin_[un]lock_bh, since this lock is
manipulated in both the process and softirq contexts.
This patch was tested for functionality and regressions with netperf
and DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled.
