Jiri Benc 2c1bd26035 [PATCH] orinoco: fix BAP0 offset error after several days of operation
After several days of operation of Netgear MA311 card, the card becomes
to seek improperly and needs reset. This patch tries to reset the card
when this situation occurs.

Mar  9 06:45:16 berkeley kernel: wlan0: Error -5 writing packet to BAP
Mar  9 06:45:16 berkeley kernel: hermes @ f992a000: BAP0 offset error: reg=0x4044 id=0x128 offset=0x44
Mar  9 06:45:16 berkeley kernel: wlan0: Error -5 writing packet to BAP
Mar  9 06:45:16 berkeley kernel: hermes @ f992a000: BAP0 offset error: reg=0x4044 id=0x128 offset=0x44
(etc.)

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=154773

Pavel Roskin 8d5be08826 [PATCH] orinoco: don't use any padding for Tx frames
hermes_bap_pwrite() supports odd-sized packets now.   There is no

odd-sized packets now.  This removes all reasons to pad the Tx data.

With the TPM 1.2 Specification, each command is classified as short, medium or
long and the chip tells you the maximum amount of time for a response to each
class of command.  This patch provides and array of the classifications and a
function to determine how long the response should be waited for.  Also, it
uses that information in the command processing to determine how long to poll
for.  The function is exported so the 1.2 driver can use the functionality to
determine how long to wait for a DataAvailable interrupt if interrupts are
being used.

Kylene Jo Hall 3c2f606a09 [PATCH] tpm: spacing cleanups
The following patch set contains numerous changes to the base tpm driver
(tpm.c) to support the next generation of TPM chips.  The changes include new
sysfs files because of more relevant data being available, a function to
access the timeout and duration values for the chip, and changes to make use
of those duration values.  Duration in the TPM specification is defined as the
maximum amount of time the chip could take to return the results.  Commands
are in one of three categories short, medium and long.  Also included are
cleanups of how the commands for the sysfs files are composed to reduce a
bunch of redundant arrays.

This patch:

Fix minor spacing issues.

1) which both use bus-unlocked operations.

The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an
iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large
contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.

Andi Kleen ddbe3eec59 [PATCH] x86_64: Pass -32 to the assembler when compiling the 32bit vsyscall pages
This quietens warnings and actually fixes a bug.  The unwind tables would
come out wrong without -32, causing pthread cancellation during them to
crash in the gcc runtime.

The problem seems to only happen with newer binutils (it doesn't happen
with 2.16.91.0.2 but happens wit 2.16.91.0.5)

Thanks to David Altobelli <david.altobelli@hp.com> and Brian Baker
<Brian.B@hp.com> for test case and initial analysis.

Lee Schermerhorn 304dbdb7a4 [PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.

In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op.  Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing.  In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out.  However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false.  This will abort all subsequent
migrations.

This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path.  We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages.  This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.

I think this is safe.  If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

Can be verified with memtoy and the shmem-mbind-test script, both
available at:  http://free.linux.hp.com/~lts/Tools/

Andy Whitcroft 3b5fd59fdd [PATCH] x86_64: sparsemem does not need node_mem_map
Seems we are trying to init the node_mem_map when we don't need to, for
example when SPARSEMEM is enabled.  This causes the error below during
compilation.  Use CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP to gate allocation and init.

  arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c: In function `setup_node_zones':
  arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c:191: error: structure has no member
                                                  named `node_mem_map'
