33c87f0af6 mlx4_core: Allow protocol drivers to find corresponding interfaces
Add a mechanism for mlx4 protocol drivers to get a pointer to other
drivers's device objects.  For this, an exported function,
mlx4_get_protocol_dev() is added, which allows a driver to get some
other driver's device based on the protocol that the driver
implements.  Two protocols are added: MLX4_PROTOCOL_IB and
MLX4_PROTOCOL_EN.

This will be used in mlx4 IBoE support so that mlx4_ib can find the
corresponding mlx4_en netdev.

3c86aa70bf RDMA/cm: Add RDMA CM support for IBoE devices
Add support for IBoE device binding and IP --> GID resolution.  Path
resolving and multicast joining are implemented within cma.c by
filling in the responses and running callbacks in the CMA work queue.

IP --> GID resolution always yields IPv6 link local addresses; remote
GIDs are derived from the destination MAC address of the remote port.
Multicast GIDs are always mapped to multicast MACs as is done in IPv6.
(IPv4 multicast is enabled by translating IPv4 multicast addresses to
IPv6 multicast as described in
<http://www.mail-archive.com/ipng@sunroof.eng.sun.com/msg02134.html>.)

Some helper functions are added to ib_addr.h.

a3f5adaf49 IB/core: Add link layer property to ports
This patch allows ports to have different link layers:
IB_LINK_LAYER_INFINIBAND or IB_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET.  This is required
for adding IBoE (InfiniBand-over-Ethernet, aka RoCE) support.  For
devices that do not provide an implementation for querying the link
layer property of a port, we return a default value based on the
transport: RMA_TRANSPORT_IB nodes will return IB_LINK_LAYER_INFINIBAND
and RDMA_TRANSPORT_IWARP nodes will return IB_LINK_LAYER_ETHERNET.

4c894f47bb x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug
This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

710224fa27 arm: fix "arm: fix pci_set_consistent_dma_mask for dmabounce devices"
This fixes the regression caused by the commit 6fee48cd33
("dma-mapping: arm: use generic pci_set_dma_mask and
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask").

ARM needs to clip the dma coherent mask for dmabounce devices. This
restores the old trick.

Note that strictly speaking, the DMA API doesn't allow architectures to do
such but I'm not sure it's worth adding the new API to set the dma mask
that allows architectures to clip it.

01f83d6984 tcp: Prevent overzealous packetization by SWS logic.
If peer uses tiny MSS (say, 75 bytes) and similarly tiny advertised
window, the SWS logic will packetize to half the MSS unnecessarily.

This causes problems with some embedded devices.

However for large MSS devices we do want to half-MSS packetize
otherwise we never get enough packets into the pipe for things
like fast retransmit and recovery to work.

Be careful also to handle the case where MSS > window, otherwise
we'll never send until the probe timer.

c41d68a513 compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()
compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

aa45484031 mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake
Ordinarily watermark checks are based on the vmstat NR_FREE_PAGES as it is
cheaper than scanning a number of lists.  To avoid synchronization
overhead, counter deltas are maintained on a per-cpu basis and drained
both periodically and when the delta is above a threshold.  On large CPU
systems, the difference between the estimated and real value of
NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high.  If NR_FREE_PAGES is much higher than
number of real free page in buddy, the VM can allocate pages below min
watermark, at worst reducing the real number of pages to zero.  Even if
the OOM killer kills some victim for freeing memory, it may not free
memory if the exit path requires a new page resulting in livelock.

This patch introduces a zone_page_state_snapshot() function (courtesy of
Christoph) that takes a slightly more accurate view of an arbitrary vmstat
counter.  It is used to read NR_FREE_PAGES while kswapd is awake to avoid
the watermark being accidentally broken.  The estimate is not perfect and
may result in cache line bounces but is expected to be lighter than the
IPI calls necessary to continually drain the per-cpu counters while kswapd
is awake.

3399446632 swap: discard while swapping only if SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD
Tests with recent firmware on Intel X25-M 80GB and OCZ Vertex 60GB SSDs
show a shift since I last tested in December: in part because of firmware
updates, in part because of the necessary move from barriers to awaiting
completion at the block layer.  While discard at swapon still shows as
slightly beneficial on both, discarding 1MB swap cluster when allocating
is now disadvanteous: adds 25% overhead on Intel, adds 230% on OCZ (YMMV).

Surrender: discard as presently implemented is more hindrance than help
for swap; but might prove useful on other devices, or with improvements.
So continue to do the discard at swapon, but make discard while swapping
conditional on a SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys_swapon() (which has been using
only the lower 16 bits of int flags).

We can add a --discard or -d to swapon(8), and a "discard" to swap in
/etc/fstab: matching the mount option for btrfs, ext4, fat, gfs2, nilfs2.

910321ea81 swap: revert special hibernation allocation
Please revert 2.6.36-rc commit d2997b1042
"hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation".  It complicated matters by
adding a second swap allocation path, just for hibernation; without in any
way fixing the issue that it was intended to address - page reclaim after
fixing the hibernation image might free swap from a page already imaged as
swapcache, letting its swap be reallocated to store a different page of
the image: resulting in data corruption if the imaged page were freed as
clean then swapped back in.  Pages freed to si->swap_map were still in
danger of being reallocated by the alternative allocation path.

I guess it inadvertently fixed slow SSD swap allocation for hibernation,
as reported by Nigel Cunningham: by missing out the discards that occur on
the usual swap allocation path; but that was unintentional, and needs a
separate fix.

c956126c13 gpio: doc updates
There's been some recent confusion about error checking GPIO numbers.
briefly, it should be handled mostly during setup, when gpio_request() is
called, and NEVER by expectig gpio_is_valid to report more than
never-usable GPIO numbers.

5affb60772 gpio: sx150x: correct and refine reset-on-probe behavior
Replace the arbitrary software-reset call from the device-probe
method, because:

- It is defective.  To work correctly, it should be two byte writes,
  not a single word write.  As it stands, it does nothing.

- Some devices with sx150x expanders installed have their NRESET pins
  ganged on the same line, so resetting one causes the others to reset -
  not a nice thing to do arbitrarily!

- The probe, usually taking place at boot, implies a recent hard-reset,
  so a software reset at this point is just a waste of energy anyway.

Therefore, make it optional, defaulting to off, as this will match the
common case of probing at powerup and also matches the current broken
no-op behavior.

4969c1192d mm: fix swapin race condition
The pte_same check is reliable only if the swap entry remains pinned (by
the page lock on swapcache).  We've also to ensure the swapcache isn't
removed before we take the lock as try_to_free_swap won't care about the
page pin.

One of the possible impacts of this patch is that a KSM-shared page can
point to the anon_vma of another process, which could exit before the page
is freed.

This can leave a page with a pointer to a recycled anon_vma object, or
worse, a pointer to something that is no longer an anon_vma.

31583bb0cf cgroups: fix API thinko
Add cgroup_attach_task_all()

The existing cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() API is called by a thread to
attach another thread to all of its cgroups; this is unsuitable for cases
where a privileged task wants to attach itself to the cgroups of a less
privileged one, since the call must be made from the context of the target
task.

This patch adds a more generic cgroup_attach_task_all() API that allows
both the source task and to-be-moved task to be specified.
cgroup_attach_task_current_cg() becomes a specialization of the more
generic new function.

f3c65b2870 mmc: avoid getting CID on SDIO-only cards
The introduction of support for SD combo cards breaks the initialization
of all CSR SDIO chips.  The GO_IDLE (CMD0) in mmc_sd_get_cid() causes CSR
chips to be reset (this is non-standard behavior).

When initializing an SDIO card check for a combo card by using the memory
present bit in the R4 response to IO_SEND_OP_COND (CMD5).  This avoids the
call to mmc_sd_get_cid() on an SDIO-only card.

a73f8844e1 lglock: make lg_lock_global() actually lock globally
lg_lock_global() currently only acquires spinlocks for online CPUs, but
it's meant to lock all possible CPUs.  Lglock-protected resources may be
associated with removed CPUs - and, indeed, that could happen with the
per-superblock open files lists.

At Nick's suggestion, change for_each_online_cpu() to
for_each_possible_cpu() to protect accesses to those resources.

d530148ae8 dquot: do full inode dirty in allocating space
Alex Shi found a regression when doing ffsb test. The test has several threads,
and each thread creates a small file, write to it and then delete it. ffsb
reports about 20% regression and Alex bisected it to 43d2932d88. The test
will call __mark_inode_dirty 3 times. without this commit, we only take
inode_lock one time, while with it, we take the lock 3 times with flags (
I_DIRTY_SYNC,I_DIRTY_PAGES,I_DIRTY). Perf shows the lock contention increased
too much. Below proposed patch fixes it.

fs is allocating blocks, which usually means file writes and the inode
will be dirtied soon. We fully dirty the inode to reduce some inode_lock
contention in several calls of __mark_inode_dirty.

719f835853 udp: add rehash on connect()
commit 30fff923 introduced in linux-2.6.33 (udp: bind() optimisation)
added a secondary hash on UDP, hashed on (local addr, local port).

Problem is that following sequence :

fd = socket(...)
connect(fd, &remote, ...)

not only selects remote end point (address and port), but also sets
local address, while UDP stack stored in secondary hash table the socket
while its local address was INADDR_ANY (or ipv6 equivalent)

Sequence is :
 - autobind() : choose a random local port, insert socket in hash tables
              [while local address is INADDR_ANY]
 - connect() : set remote address and port, change local address to IP
              given by a route lookup.

When an incoming UDP frame comes, if more than 10 sockets are found in
primary hash table, we switch to secondary table, and fail to find
socket because its local address changed.

One solution to this problem is to rehash datagram socket if needed.

We add a new rehash(struct socket *) method in "struct proto", and
implement this method for UDP v4 & v6, using a common helper.

This rehashing only takes care of secondary hash table, since primary
hash (based on local port only) is not changed.

6523ce1525 ipvs: fix active FTP
- Do not create expectation when forwarding the PORT
  command to avoid blocking the connection. The problem is that
  nf_conntrack_ftp.c:help() tries to create the same expectation later in
  POST_ROUTING and drops the packet with "dropping packet" message after
  failure in nf_ct_expect_related.

- Change ip_vs_update_conntrack to alter the conntrack
  for related connections from real server. If we do not alter the reply in
  this direction the next packet from client sent to vport 20 comes as NEW
  connection. We alter it but may be some collision happens for both
  conntracks and the second conntrack gets destroyed immediately. The
  connection stucks too.
