Production GMA3600/3650 hardware turns out to be subtly different to the development platforms. This combined with a minor driver bug is causing the kernel to hang on these platforms. This patch does the following - turn down a couple of messages that were meant to be debug and are causing much confusion - ensure the hotplug interrupt is disabled on Cedartrail systems. - fix a bug where gtt roll mode called psbfb_sync, which tries to sync the 2D engine. On other devices it is harmless as the 2D engine is present but not in use when in gtt roll mode, on Cedartrail it causes a hang Without these changes 3.3-rc hangs on boot on Cedartrail based systems.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) TCP SACK processing can calculate an incorrect reordering value in some cases, fix from Neal Cardwell. 2) tcp_mark_head_lost() can split SKBs in situations where it should not, violating send queue invariants expected by other pieces of code and thus resulting (eventually) in corrupted retransmit state counters. Also from Neal Cardwell. 3) qla3xxx erroneously calls spin_lock_irqrestore() with constant hw_flags of zero. Fix from Santosh Nayak. 4) Fix NULL deref in rt2x00, from Gabor Juhos. 5) pch_gbe passes address of wrong typed object to pch_gbe_validate_option thus corrupting part of the value. From Dan Carpenter. 6) We must check the return value of nlmsg_parse() before trying to use the results. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Bridging code fails to check return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr() thus potentially leaving uninitialized garbage in the outgoing ipv6 header. From Ulrich Weber. 8) Due to rounding and a reversed operation on jiffies, bridge message ages can go backwards instead of forwards, thus breaking STP. Fixes from Joakim Tjernlund. 9) r8169 modifies Config* registers without properly holding the Config9346 lock, resulting in corrupted IP fragments on some chips. Fix from Francois Romieu. 10) NET_PACKET_ENGINE default wan't set properly during the network driver mega-move. Fix from Stephen Hemminger. 11) vmxnet3 uses TCP header size where it actually should use the UDP header size, fix from Shreyas Bhatewara. 12) Netfilter bridge module autoload is busted in the compat case, fix from Florian Westphal. 13) Wireless Key removal was not setting multicast bits correctly thus accidently killing the unicast key 0 and thus all traffic stops. Fix from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix endless retries of A-MPDU transmissions in brcm80211 driver. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (22 commits) qla3xxx: ethernet: Fix bogus interrupt state flag. bridge: check return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr() rtnetlink: fix rtnl_calcit() and rtnl_dump_ifinfo() bridge: message age needs to increase, not decrease. bridge: Adjust min age inc for HZ > 256 tcp: don't fragment SACKed skbs in tcp_mark_head_lost() r8169: corrupted IP fragments fix for large mtu. packetengines: fix config default vmxnet3: Fix transport header size enic: fix an endian bug in enic_probe() pch_gbe: memory corruption calling pch_gbe_validate_option() tg3: Fix tg3_get_stats64 for 5700 / 5701 devs tcp: fix false reordering signal in tcp_shifted_skb tcp: fix comment for tp->highest_sack netfilter: bridge: fix module autoload in compat case brcm80211: smac: only print block-ack timeout message at trace level brcm80211: smac: fix endless retry of A-MPDU transmissions mac80211: Fix a warning on changing to monitor mode from STA mac80211: zero initialize count field in ieee80211_tx_rate iwlwifi: fix key removal ...

All other callers already hold either ->mmap_sem (exclusive) or ->page_table_lock. And we need it because some page table flushing instanced do work explicitly with ge tables. See e.g. arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_hash32.c, flush_tlb_range() and flush_range() in there. The same goes for uml, with a lot more extensive playing with page tables. Almost all callers are actually fine - flush_tlb_range() may have no need to bother playing with page tables, but it can do so safely; again, this caller is the sole exception - everything else either has exclusive ->mmap_sem on the mm in question, or mm->page_table_lock is held.

Allow array field values out of range as per HID 1.11 specification, section 6.2.25: Rather than returning a single bit for each button in the group, an array returns an index in each field that corresponds to the pressed button (like keyboard scan codes). An out-of range value in and array field is considered no controls asserted. Apparently, "and" above is a typo and should be "an". This fixes at least Waltop tablet pen clicks - otherwise BTN_TOUCH is never released. The relevant part of Waltop tablet report descriptors is this: 0x09, 0x42, /* Usage (Tip Switch), */ 0x09, 0x44, /* Usage (Barrel Switch), */ 0x09, 0x46, /* Usage (Tablet Pick), */ 0x15, 0x01, /* Logical Minimum (1), */ 0x25, 0x03, /* Logical Maximum (3), */ 0x75, 0x04, /* Report Size (4), */ 0x95, 0x01, /* Report Count (1), */ 0x80, /* Input, */ This is a regression fix for commit b4b583d4 ("HID: be more strict when ignoring out-of-range fields").

It's only used inside fs/dcache.c, and we're going to play games with it for the word-at-a-time patches. This time we really don't even want to export it, because it really is an internal function to fs/dcache.c, and has been since it was introduced. Having it in that extremely hot header file (it's included in pretty much everything, thanks to <linux/fs.h>) is a disaster for testing different versions, and is utterly pointless. We really should have some kind of header file diet thing, where we figure out which parts of header files are really better off private and only result in more expensive compiles.

Even if cards supports 1.8V I/O voltage those should anyway be initialized at 3.3V I/O according to (e)MMC, SD and SDIO specs. Some eMMC and embedded SDIO devices are able to be initialized at 1.8V as well, but it is better to be safe. Do note that initialization in this context means that the card has been completely powered off, otherwise the card will remain at the last I/O voltage level that were negotitiated. Due to the above being taken care of the suspend/resume issues for UHS-I SD-cards has been fixed.

On i.MX53 we have to write a special SDHCI_CMD_ABORTCMD to the SDHCI_TRANSFER_MODE register during a MMC_STOP_TRANSMISSION command. This works for SD cards. However, with MMC cards the MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT command is used instead, but this needs the same handling. Fix MMC cards by testing for the MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT command aswell. Tested on a custom i.MX53 board with a Transcend MMC+ card and eMMC. The kernel started used MMC_SET_BLOCK_COUNT in 3.0, so this is a regression for these boards introduced in 3.0; it should go to 3.0/3.1/3.2-stable.

Guennadi Liakhovetski authored
A recent commit "mmc: core: Use delayed work in clock gating framework" (597dd9d7) introduced a default 200ms delay before clock gating actually takes place. This means that every time an MMC interface becomes idle it first stays on for 200ms before gating its clock. This leads to increased power consumption and is therefore a clear regression. This patch restores the original behaviour by setting the default delay to 0. Users prioritising throughput over power efficiency can still modify the delay via sysfs.

Neal Cardwell authored
In tcp_mark_head_lost() we should not attempt to fragment a SACKed skb to mark the first portion as lost. This is for two primary reasons: (1) tcp_shifted_skb() coalesces adjacent regions of SACKed skbs. When doing this, it preserves the sum of their packet counts in order to reflect the real-world dynamics on the wire. But given that skbs can have remainders that do not align to MSS boundaries, this packet count preservation means that for SACKed skbs there is not necessarily a direct linear relationship between tcp_skb_pcount(skb) and skb->len. Thus tcp_mark_head_lost()'s previous attempts to fragment off and mark as lost a prefix of length (packets - oldcnt)*mss from SACKed skbs were leading to occasional failures of the WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment() (which used to be a BUG_ON(); see the recent "crash in tcp_fragment" thread on netdev). (2) there is no real point in fragmenting off part of a SACKed skb and calling tcp_skb_mark_lost() on it, since tcp_skb_mark_lost() is a NOP for SACKed skbs.

The code in link_path_walk() that finds out the length and the hash of the next path component is some of the hottest code in the kernel. And I have a version of it that does things at the full width of the CPU wordsize at a time, but that means that we *really* want to split it up into a separate helper function. So this re-organizes the code a bit and splits the hashing part into a helper function called "hash_name()". It returns the length of the pathname component, while at the same time computing and writing the hash to the appropriate location. The code generation is slightly changed by this patch, but generally for the better - and the added abstraction actually makes the code easier to read too. And the new interface is well suited for replacing just the "hash_name()" function with alternative implementations. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

It did some odd things for unclear reasons. As this is one of the functions that gets changed when doing word-at-a-time compares, this is yet another of the "don't change any semantics, but clean things up so that subsequent patches don't get obscured by the cleanups".

.. and also use it in lookup_one_len() rather than open-coding it. There aren't any performance-critical users, so inlining it is silly. But it wouldn't matter if it wasn't for the fact that the word-at-a-time dentry name patches want to conditionally replace the function, and uninlining it sets the stage for that. So again, this is a preparatory patch that doesn't change any semantics, and only prepares for a much cleaner and testable word-at-a-time dentry name accessor patch.

These don't change any semantics, but they clean up the code a bit and mark some arguments appropriately 'const'.
