      Pull ext4 regression fixes from Ted Ts'o:
       "This fixes a scalability problem reported by Andi Kleen and Tim Chen;
        they were quite secretive about the precise nature of their workload,
        but they later admitted that it only showed up when they were using a
        large sparse file, so the amount of data I/O that was needed was close
        to zero.
      
        I'm not sure how realistic this is and it's only a regression if you
        consider changes made since 2.6.39 to be a "regression" vis-a-vis the
        policy regarding post-merge window bug fixes, but Linus agreed it was
        worth fixing, so I'm including it in this pull request.
      
        This also fixes the journalled quota mount options, which I
        accidentally broke while I was cleaning up the mount option handling."

       "A bunch of endianness fixes and a couple of nfsd error value fixes.
      
        Speaking of endianness stuff, I'm rather tempted to slap
      
      	ccflags-y += -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__
      
        in fs/Makefile, if not making it default for the entire tree; nfsd
        regressions I've caught make one hell of a pile and we'd obviously
        benefit from having that kind of stuff caught earlier..."

      Pull virtio fixes from Michael S. Tsirkin:
       "Here are some virtio fixes for 3.4: a test build fix, a patch by Ren
        fixing naming for systems with a massive number of virtio blk devices,
        and balloon fixes for powerpc by David Gibson.
      
        There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming:
        some people wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the
        block core.  But there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always
        deduplicate later.  Added comments in the hope that this will stop
        people from copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers."

      PCI: Retry BARs restoration for Type 0 headers only · a6cb9ee7
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Some shortcomings introduced into pci_restore_state() by commit
      26f41062 ("PCI: check for pci bar restore completion and retry")
      have been fixed by recent commit ebfc5b80 ("PCI: Fix regression in
      pci_restore_state(), v3"), but that commit treats all PCI devices as
      those with Type 0 configuration headers.
      
      That is not entirely correct, because Type 1 and Type 2 headers have
      different layouts.  In particular, the area occupied by BARs in Type 0
      config headers contains the secondary status register in Type 1 ones and
      it doesn't make sense to retry the restoration of that register even if
      the value read back from it after a write is not the same as the written
      one (it very well may be different).
      
      For this reason, make pci_restore_state() only retry the restoration
      of BARs for Type 0 config headers.  This effectively makes it behave
      as before commit 26f41062 for all header types except for Type 0.

      ia64: fix futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() · c76f39bd
      Luck, Tony authored
      Michel Lespinasse cleaned up the futex calling conventions in commit
      37a9d912 ("futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API").
      
      But the ia64 implementation was subtly broken.  Gcc does not know that
      register "r8" will be updated by the fault handler if the cmpxchg
      instruction takes an exception.  So it feels safe in letting the
      initialization of r8 slide to after the cmpxchg.  Result: we always
      return 0 whether the user address faulted or not.
      
      Fix by moving the initialization of r8 into the __asm__ code so gcc
      won't move it.
