e94236cde4 drm/tegra: dsi: Add ganged mode support
Implement ganged mode support for the Tegra DSI driver. The DSI host
controller to gang up with is specified via a phandle in the device tree
and the resolved DSI host controller used for the programming of the
ganged-mode registers.

a7a3324a60 ASoC: davinci-mcasp: Add overrun/underrun event handling
An underrun (playback) event occurs when the serializer transfer
data from the XRBUF buffer to the XRSR shift register, but the
XRBUF hasn't been filled. Similarly, the overrun (capture) event
occurs when data from the XRSR shift register is transferred to
the XRBUF but it hasn't been read yet.

These events are handled as XRUN events that cause the pcm to stop.
The stream has to be explicitly restarted by the userspace which
ensures that after stopping/starting McASP the data transfer is
aligned with DMA. The other possibility was to internally stop and
start McASP without DMA even knowing about it.

d92c0da71a IB/srp: Add multichannel support
Improve performance by using multiple RDMA/RC channels per SCSI
host for communication with an SRP target. About the
implementation:
- Introduce a loop over all channels in the code that uses
  target->ch.
- Set the SRP_MULTICHAN_MULTI flag during login for the creation
  of the second and subsequent channels.
- RDMA completion vectors are chosen such that RDMA completion
  interrupts are handled by the CPU socket that submitted the I/O
  request. As one can see in this patch it has been assumed if a
  system contains n CPU sockets and m RDMA completion vectors
  have been assigned to an RDMA HCA that IRQ affinity has been
  configured such that completion vectors [i*m/n..(i+1)*m/n) are
  bound to CPU socket i with 0 <= i < n.
- Modify srp_free_ch_ib() and srp_free_req_data() such that it
  becomes safe to invoke these functions after the corresponding
  allocation function failed.
- Add a ch_count sysfs attribute per target port.

c8b09f6fb6 scsi: don't set tagging state from scsi_adjust_queue_depth
Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
handle the queue depth.  For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
untagged commands in the driver.

Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling
->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
->simple_tags except for one worke anyway.  The one other case looks
broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.

Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type,
and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.

Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure
that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

2ecb204d07 scsi: always assign block layer tags if enabled
Allow a driver to ask for block layer tags by setting .use_blk_tags in the
host template, in which case it will always see a valid value in
request->tag, similar to the behavior when using blk-mq.  This means even
SCSI "untagged" commands will now have a tag, which is especially useful
when using a host-wide tag map.

125c99bc8b scsi: add new scsi-command flag for tagged commands
Currently scsi piggy backs on the block layer to define the concept
of a tagged command.  But we want to be able to have block-level host-wide
tags assigned even for untagged commands like the initial INQUIRY, so add
a new SCSI-level flag for commands that are tagged at the scsi level, so
that even commands without that set can have tags assigned to them.  Note
that this alredy is the case for the blk-mq code path, and this just lets
the old path catch up with it.

We also set this flag based upon sdev->simple_tags instead of the block
queue flag, so that it is entirely independent of the block layer tagging,
and thus always correct even if a driver doesn't use block level tagging
yet.

Also remove the old blk_rq_tagged; it was only used by SCSI drivers, and
removing it forces them to look for the proper replacement.

the cpufreq core as the scaling driver for CPUs implementing
HWP. In HWP mode intel_pstate provides three functions reporting
frequency to the cpufreq core, support for the set_policy() interface
from the core and maintaining the intel_pstate sysfs interface in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate.  User preferences expressed via

ba7a46f16d net: Convert LIMIT_NETDEBUG to net_dbg_ratelimited
Use the more common dynamic_debug capable net_dbg_ratelimited
and remove the LIMIT_NETDEBUG macro.

All messages are still ratelimited.

Some KERN_<LEVEL> uses are changed to KERN_DEBUG.

This may have some negative impact on messages that were
emitted at KERN_INFO that are not not enabled at all unless
DEBUG is defined or dynamic_debug is enabled.  Even so,
these messages are now _not_ emitted by default.

This also eliminates the use of the net_msg_warn sysctl
"/proc/sys/net/core/warnings".  For backward compatibility,
the sysctl is not removed, but it has no function.  The extern
declaration of net_msg_warn is removed from sock.h and made
static in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c

Miscellanea:

o Update the sysctl documentation
o Remove the embedded uses of pr_fmt
o Coalesce format fragments
o Realign arguments

Before, if the user wanted sequential IO to be promoted to the cache
they'd have to set sequential_threshold to some nebulous large value.

Now, the user may easily disable sequential IO detection (and sequential
IO's implicit bypass of the cache) by setting sequential_threshold to 0.

b155aa0e5a dm cache policy mq: tweak algorithm that decides when to promote a block
Rather than maintaining a separate promote_threshold variable that we
periodically update we now use the hit count of the oldest clean
block.  Also add a fudge factor to discourage demoting dirty blocks.

With some tests this has a sizeable difference, because the old code
was too eager to demote blocks.  For example, device-mapper-test-suite's
git_extract_cache_quick test goes from taking 190 seconds, to 142
(linear on spindle takes 250).
