      firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated · f30e6d3e
      Stefan Richter authored
      We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
      streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e
      "firewire: ohci: avoid separate DMA mapping for small AT payloads".
      
      (Besides, the slab-allocated buffers that firewire-core, firewire-sbp2,
      and firedtv used to provide for 8-byte write and lock requests were
      still not fully portable since they crossed cacheline boundaries or
      shared a cacheline with unrelated CPU-accessed data.  snd-firewire-lib
      got this aspect right by using an extra kmalloc/ kfree just for the
      8-byte transaction buffer.)
      
      This change replaces kmalloc'ed lock transaction scratch buffers in
      firewire-core, firedtv, and snd-firewire-lib by local stack allocations.
      Perhaps the most notable result of the change is simpler locking because
      there is no need to serialize usages of preallocated per-device buffers
      anymore.  Also, allocations and deallocations are simpler.

      vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in upward expansion · 42c36f63
      Hugh Dickins authored
      Commit a626ca6a ("vm: fix vm_pgoff wrap in stack expansion") fixed
      the case of an expanding mapping causing vm_pgoff wrapping when you had
      downward stack expansion.  But there was another case where IA64 and
      PA-RISC expand mappings: upward expansion.
      
      This fixes that case too.
