b48d4425b6 PCI: add ID-based ordering enable/disable support
Add support to allow drivers to enable/disable ID-based ordering.  Where
supported, ID-based ordering can significantly improve the latency of
individual requests by preventing them from queueing up behind unrelated
traffic.

2e711c04db PM: Remove sysdev suspend, resume and shutdown operations
Since suspend, resume and shutdown operations in struct sysdev_class
and struct sysdev_driver are not used any more, remove them.  Also
drop sysdev_suspend(), sysdev_resume() and sysdev_shutdown() used
for executing those operations and modify all of their users
accordingly.  This reduces kernel code size quite a bit and reduces
its complexity.

79f460ca49 mac80211: add support for HW scheduled scan
Implement support for HW scheduled scan.  The mac80211 code doesn't perform
scheduled scans itself, but calls the driver to start and stop scheduled
scans.

This patch also creates a trace event class to be used by drv_hw_scan
and the new drv_sched_scan_start and drv_sched_stop functions, in
order to avoid duplicate code.

807f8a8c30 cfg80211/nl80211: add support for scheduled scans
Implement new functionality for scheduled scan offload.  With this feature we
can scan automatically at certain intervals.

The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on
desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily.

Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN
commands to the nl80211 interface.  When results are available they are
reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events.  The userspace is
informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a
NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by
the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

b130e5cec9 nl80211: Introduce NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AMPE
Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace.

Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an
authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace
and hand them over to the kernel.  From that point the mesh stack would
take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management).

These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange
in userspace.  The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on
successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

In case of pre v2.1 devices authentication request will return
success immediately if the link key already exists without any
authentication process.

That means, it's not possible to re-authenticate the link if you
already have combination key and for instance want to re-authenticate
to get the high security (use 16 digit pin).

Therefore, it's necessary to check security requirements on auth

b42fc3cbc3 KVM: Fix off by one in kvm_for_each_vcpu iteration
This patch avoids gcc issuing the following warning when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1:
warning: array subscript is above array bounds

kvm_for_each_vcpu currently checks to see if the index for the vcpu is
valid /after/ loading it. We don't run into problems because the address
is still inside the enclosing struct kvm and we never deference or write
to it, so this isn't a security issue.

The warning occurs when KVM_MAX_VCPUS=1 because the increment portion of
the loop will *always* cause the loop to load an invalid location since
++idx will always be > 0.

This patch moves the load so that the check occurs before the load and
we don't run into the compiler warning.

1abf781454 OMAP: DSS2: Taal: Implement ULPS functionality
ULPS is a low power state where the DSI lanes are kept at ground. This
patch implements ULPS by having a DSI bus inactivity timer which
triggers the entry to ULPS. ULPS exit will happen automatically when the
driver needs to do something on the DSI lanes.

The ulps_timeout is configurable from board file or via sysfs.
Additionally another sysfs file, "ulps", can be used to check the
current ULPS state, or to manually enter or exit ULPS.

22d6d67626 OMAP: DSS2: DSI: add parameter to enter ulps on disable
Add parameter to omapdss_dsi_display_disable() which the panel driver
can use to tell if the DSI lanes should be put to ULPS before disabling
the interface.

This can be used to skip ULPS entry in cases where the panel doesn't
care about ULPS state, for example when the panel will be reset, or when
the display interface will be enabled again right after the disable.

This will speed up the operation considerably in cases where entering
ULPS would fail with timeout, and the panel driver isn't even interested
in entering ULPS.

2a89dc1533 OMAP: DSS2: DSI: add option to leave DSI lanes powered on
The DSI pins are powered by VDDS_DSI. If VDDS_DSI is off, the DSI pins
are floating even if they are pinmuxed to, say, safe mode and there's a
pull down/up.

This patch gives the panel drivers an option to leave the VDDS_DSI power
enabled while the DSS itself is turned off. This can be used to keep the
DSI lanes in a valid state while DSS is off, if the DSI pins are muxed
for pull down (not done in this patch).

There will be a slight power consumption increase (~100 uA?) when the
VDDS_DSI is left on, but because this option is used when the panel is
left on, the regulator consumption is negligible compared to panel power
consumption.

When the panel is fully turned off the VDDS_DSI is also turned off.

As an added bonus this will give us faster start up time when starting
up the DSS and the regulator is already enabled.

43a4dea4c9 xfrm: Assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry
As it is, we assign the outer modes output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. This leads to two problems on interfamily
scenarios. We might insert ipv4 packets into ip6_fragment when called
from xfrm6_output. The system crashes if we try to fragment an ipv4
packet with ip6_fragment. This issue was introduced with git commit
ad0081e4 (ipv6: Fragment locally generated tunnel-mode IPSec6 packets
as needed). The second issue is, that we might insert ipv4 packets in
netfilter6 and vice versa on interfamily scenarios.

With this patch we assign the inner mode output function to the dst entry
when we create the xfrm bundle. So xfrm4_output/xfrm6_output from the inner
mode is used and the right fragmentation and netfilter functions are called.
We switch then to outer mode with the output_finish functions.

6b4e306aa3 ns: proc files for namespace naming policy.
Create files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ to allow controlling the
namespaces of a process.

This addresses three specific problems that can make namespaces hard to
work with.
- Namespaces require a dedicated process to pin them in memory.
- It is not possible to use a namespace unless you are the child
  of the original creator.
- Namespaces don't have names that userspace can use to talk about
  them.

The namespace files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ can be opened and the
file descriptor can be used to talk about a specific namespace, and
to keep the specified namespace alive.

A namespace can be kept alive by either holding the file descriptor
open or bind mounting the file someplace else.  aka:
mount --bind /proc/self/ns/net /some/filesystem/path
mount --bind /proc/self/fd/<N> /some/filesystem/path

This allows namespaces to be named with userspace policy.

It requires additional support to make use of these filedescriptors
and that will be comming in the following patches.

1b9ba00017 usb: gadget: composite: Allow function drivers to pause control transfers
Some USB function drivers (e.g. f_mass_storage.c) need to delay or defer the
data/status stages of standard control requests like SET_CONFIGURATION or
SET_INTERFACE till they are done with their bookkeeping and are actually ready
for accepting new commands to their interface.

They can now achieve this functionality by returning USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS
in their setup handlers (e.g. set_alt()). The composite framework will then
defer completion of the control transfer by not completing the data/status stages.

This ensures that the host does not send new packets to the interface till the
function driver is ready to take them.

When the function driver that requested for USB_GADGET_DELAYED_STATUS is done
with its bookkeeping, it should signal the composite framework to continue with
the data/status stages of the control transfer. It can do so by invoking
the new API usb_composite_setup_continue(). This is where the control transfer's
data/status stages are completed and host can initiate new transfers.

The DELAYED_STATUS mechanism is currently only supported if the expected data phase
is 0 bytes (i.e. w_length == 0). Since SET_CONFIGURATION and SET_INTERFACE are the

105e53f863 firewire: sbp2: parallelize login, reconnect, logout
The struct sbp2_logical_unit.work items can all be executed in parallel
but are not reentrant.  Furthermore, reconnect or re-login work must be
executed in a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.

Hence replace the old single-threaded firewire-sbp2 workqueue by a
concurrency-managed but non-reentrant workqueue with rescuer.
firewire-core already maintains one, hence use this one.

In earlier versions of this change, I observed occasional failures of
parallel INQUIRY to an Initio INIC-2430 FireWire 800 to dual IDE bridge.
More testing indicates that parallel INQUIRY is not actually a problem,
but too quick successions of logout and login + INQUIRY, e.g. a quick
sequence of cable plugout and plugin, can result in failed INQUIRY.
This does not seem to be something that should or could be addressed by
serialization.

Another dual-LU device to which I currently have access to, an
OXUF924DSB FireWire 800 to dual SATA bridge with firmware from MacPower,
has been successfully tested with this too.

This change is beneficial to environments with two or more FireWire
storage devices, especially if they are located on the same bus.
Management tasks that should be performed as soon and as quickly as
possible, especially reconnect, are no longer held up by tasks on other
devices that may take a long time, especially login with INQUIRY and sd
or sr driver probe.

13882a82ee firewire: optimize iso queueing by setting wake only after the last packet
When queueing iso packets, the run time is dominated by the two
MMIO accesses that set the DMA context's wake bit.  Because most
drivers submit packets in batches, we can save much time by
removing all but the last wakeup.

The internal kernel API is changed to require a call to
fw_iso_context_queue_flush() after a batch of queued packets.
The user space API does not change, so one call to
FW_CDEV_IOC_QUEUE_ISO must specify multiple packets to take
advantage of this optimization.

In my measurements, this patch reduces the time needed to queue
fifty skip packets from userspace to one sixth on a 2.5 GHz CPU,
or to one third at 800 MHz.

f30e6d3e41 firewire: octlet AT payloads can be stack-allocated
We do not need slab allocations anymore in order to satisfy
streaming DMA mapping constraints, thanks to commit da28947e7e
"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.
