      be2net: dma_sync each RX frag before passing it to the stack · e50287be
      Sathya Perla authored
      The driver currently maps a page for DMA, divides the page into multiple
      frags and posts them to the HW. It un-maps the page after data is received
      on all the frags of the page. This scheme doesn't work when bounce buffers
      are used for DMA (swiotlb=force kernel param).
      
      This patch fixes this problem by calling dma_sync_single_for_cpu() for each
      frag (excepting the last one) so that the data is copied from the bounce
      buffers. The page is un-mapped only when DMA finishes on the last frag of
      the page.
      (Thanks Ben H. for suggesting the dma_sync API!)
      
      This patch also renames the "last_page_user" field of be_rx_page_info{}
      struct to "last_frag" to improve readability of the fixed code.

      ====================
      this series contains a header file proposal for MPLS labels. These
      labels do not seem to be properly defined in the kernel so far. We are
      developing a wired/wireless 802.21/MPLS switch and need to check the
      MPLS labels to use the traffic control info for transmissions over
      802.11 networks.
      
      Changes to third version:
      
       * rename mpls_label_stack to mpls_label (thanks Neil)
       * fix over-indendented closing brac (thanks Sergei)
       * add Johannes' Ack

      20) The macvlan driver regresses in that it propagates lower device
          offload support disables into itself, causing severe slowdowns when

          macvlan devices to deal with this and the regression is gone.  From

      mm: page_alloc: exempt GFP_THISNODE allocations from zone fairness · 27329369
      Johannes Weiner authored
      Jan Stancek reports manual page migration encountering allocation
      failures after some pages when there is still plenty of memory free, and
      bisected the problem down to commit 81c0a2bb ("mm: page_alloc: fair
      zone allocator policy").
      
      The problem is that GFP_THISNODE obeys the zone fairness allocation
      batches on one hand, but doesn't reset them and wake kswapd on the other
      hand.  After a few of those allocations, the batches are exhausted and
      the allocations fail.
      
      Fixing this means either having GFP_THISNODE wake up kswapd, or
      GFP_THISNODE not participating in zone fairness at all.  The latter
      seems safer as an acute bugfix, we can clean up later.

      Liu Ping Fan authored
      When doing some numa tests on powerpc, I triggered an oops bug.  I find
      it is caused by using page->_last_cpupid.  It should be initialized as
      "-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK", but not "-1".  Otherwise, in task_numa_fault(),
      we will miss the checking (last_cpupid == (-1 & LAST_CPUPID_MASK)).  And
      finally cause an oops bug in task_numa_group(), since the online cpu is
      less than possible cpu.  This happen with CONFIG_SPARSE_VMEMMAP disabled

      rapidio/tsi721: fix tasklet termination in dma channel release · 04379dff
      Alexandre Bounine authored
      This patch is a modification of the patch originally proposed by
      Xiaotian Feng <xtfeng@gmail.com>: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/5/413
      This new version disables DMA channel interrupts and ensures that the
      tasklet wil not be scheduled again before calling tasklet_kill().
      
      Unfortunately the updated patch was not released at that time due to
      planned rework of Tsi721 mport driver to use threaded interrupts (which
      has yet to happen).  Recently the issue was reported again:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/19/762.
      
      Description from the original Xiaotian's patch:
      
       "Some drivers use tasklet_disable in device remove/release process,
        tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return.  If the tasklet is
        not handled yet under some softirq pressure, the tasklet will be
        placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to be excuted.  This
        might lead to a heavy loaded ksoftirqd, wakeup with pending_softirq,
        but tasklet is disabled.  tasklet_kill should be used in this case."
      
      This patch is applicable to kernel versions starting from v3.5.

      hfsplus: fix remount issue · bd2c0035
      Vyacheslav Dubeyko authored
      Current implementation of HFS+ driver has small issue with remount
      option.  Namely, for example, you are unable to remount from RO mode
      into RW mode by means of command "mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0
      /mnt/hfsplus".  Trying to execute sequence of commands results in an
      error message:
      
        mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus
        mount -o remount,ro /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus
        mount -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus
      
        mount: you must specify the filesystem type
      
        mount -t hfsplus -o remount,rw /dev/loop0 /mnt/hfsplus
      
        mount: /mnt/hfsplus not mounted or bad option
      
      The reason of such issue is failure of mount syscall:
      
        mount("/dev/loop0", "/mnt/hfsplus", 0x2282a60, MS_MGC_VAL|MS_REMOUNT, NULL) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
      
      Namely, hfsplus_parse_options_remount() method receives empty "input"
      argument and return false in such case.  As a result, hfsplus_remount()
      returns -EINVAL error code.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by means of return true for the case of empty
      "input" argument in hfsplus_parse_options_remount() method.

      sh-allmodconfig now fails with:
      
          include/linux/omap-dma.h:171:8: error: expected identifier before numeric constant
          make[4]: *** [drivers/mmc/host/omap_hsmmc.o] Error 1
      
      This happens because SuperH #defines "CCR", which is one of the enum
      values in include/linux/omap-dma.h.  There's a similar issue with "CCR2"
      on sh2a.
      
      As "CCR" and "CCR2" are too generic names for global #defines, prefix
      them with "SH_" to fix this.

      ocfs2: fix quota file corruption · 15c34a76
      Jan Kara authored
      Global quota files are accessed from different nodes.  Thus we cannot
      cache offset of quota structure in the quota file after we drop our node
      reference count to it because after that moment quota structure may be
      freed and reallocated elsewhere by a different node resulting in
      corruption of quota file.
      
      Fix the problem by clearing dq_off when we are releasing dquot structure.
      We also remove the DB_READ_B handling because it is useless -
      DQ_ACTIVE_B is set iff DQ_READ_B is set.

      drivers/rtc/rtc-s3c.c: fix incorrect way of save/restore of S3C2410_TICNT for TYPE_S3C64XX · 40d2d968
      Vikas Sajjan authored
      On exynos5250, exynos5420 and exynos5260 it was observed that, after 1
      cycle of S2R, the rtc-tick occurs at a very fast rate as compared to the
      rtc-tick occuring before S2R.
      
      This patch fixes the above issue by correcting the wrong way of
      save/restore of S3C2410_TICNT for TYPE_S3C64XX.

      kallsyms: fix absolute addresses for kASLR · 0f55159d
      Andy Honig authored
      Currently symbols that are absolute addresses are incorrectly displayed
      in /proc/kallsyms if the kernel is loaded with kASLR.
      
      The problem was that the scripts/kallsyms.c file which generates the
      array of symbol names and addresses uses an relocatable value for all
      symbols, even absolute symbols.  This patch fixes that.
      
      Several kallsyms output in different boot states for comparison:
      
        $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.nokaslr
        0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start
        0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end
        ffffffff810001c8 T _stext
        $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr1

      scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix flags for initramfs LZ4 compression · 5ec384d4
      Daniel M. Weeks authored
      LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now
      used by the reference implementation of LZ4.  Until the in-kernel method
      is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to
      the compressor is necessary.  Without this flag the kernel-generated,
      LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk.
      
      Kyungsik said:
      
      : It seems that lz4 supports legacy format with the same option as lz4c
      : does.  Just looking at the first few bytes of lz4 compressed image, we can
