Steve Wise d1fbe04eee RDMA/cxgb3: Enforce required firmware
The cxgb3 NIC driver can handle more firmware versions than iw_cxgb3,
and since commit 8207befa ("cxgb3: untie strict FW matching") cxgb3
will load with firmware versions that iw_cxgb3 can't handle.  The FW
major number indicates a specific interface between the FW and
iw_cxgb3.  Thus if the major number of the running firmware does not
match the required version compiled into iw_cxgb3, then iw_cxgb3 must
not register that device.

Alan Cox c96f1732e2 [libata] Improve timeout handling
On a timeout call a device specific handler early in the recovery so that
we can complete and process successful commands which timed out due to IRQ
loss or the like rather more elegantly.

[Revised to exclude the timeout handling on a few devices that inherit from
 SFF but are not SFF enough to use the default timeout handler]

Vlad Yasevich 0f8d3c7ac3 ipv6: Allow ipv4 wildcard binds after ipv6 address binds
The IPv4 wildcard (0.0.0.0) address does not intersect
in any way with explicit IPv6 addresses.  These two should
be permitted, but the IPv4 conflict code checks the ipv6only
bit as part of the test.  Since binding to an explicit IPv6
address restricts the socket to only that IPv6 address, the
side-effect is that the socket behaves as v6-only.  By
explicitely setting ipv6only in this case, allows the 2 binds
to succeed.

Make libata more robust when parsing the multi_count

attempting to use dubious multi_count values ad infinitum.

Reset dev->multi_count to zero and reprobe it each time

Also ensure that the reported "maximum" value is valid
and is a power of two, and that the reported "count" value
is valid and also a power of two.  And that the "count"

Mark Lord 2b748a0a34 sata_mv: implement IRQ coalescing (v2)
Add IRQ coalescing to sata_mv (off by default).

This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups
in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of:

 a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or
 b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion.

For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count
and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally.  These may eventually
be supplemented with sysfs attributes, so that thresholds can be set
on-the-fly and on a per-chip (or even per-host_controller) basis.

Tejun Heo a5bfc4714b ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enable
There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable.  This is
automatically handled by pci.  Drop it.

This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during
boot.  However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and
the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix.
Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever
disables IRQ for the controller.  However, as this change has slight
possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Hugh Dickins 095160aee9 sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors
Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a
"sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next
crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up.  It's caught out by the way
powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting
a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer
(substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails).

The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in
that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch
over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed.

But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:-

It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying
page_mkwrite().

Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops
_before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops.

If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap
on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy:
provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.

Arjan van de Ven f520360d93 kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper().  Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.

This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.

This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.

[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]
