16ec470012 9p: fix put_data error handling
Abhishek Kulkarni pointed out an inconsistency in the way
errors are returned from p9_put_data.  On deeper exploration it
seems the error handling for this path was completely wrong.
This patch adds checks for allocation problems and propagates
errors correctly.

62aa528e02 9p: use an IS_ERR test rather than a NULL test
In case of error, the function p9_client_walk returns an ERR pointer, but
never returns a NULL pointer.  So a NULL test that comes after an IS_ERR
test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

206ca50de7 9p-trans_fd: fix and clean up module init/exit paths
trans_fd leaked p9_mux_wq on module unload.  Fix it.  While at it,
collapse p9_mux_global_init() into p9_trans_fd_init().  It's easier to
follow this way and the global poll_tasks array is about to removed
anyway.

ec3c68f232 9p-trans_fd: don't do fs segment mangling in p9_fd_poll()
p9_fd_poll() is never called with user pointers and f_op->poll()
doesn't expect its arguments to be from userland.  There's no need to
set kernel ds before calling f_op->poll() from p9_fd_poll().  Remove
it.

7dc5d24be0 9p-trans_fd: fix trans_fd::p9_conn_destroy()
p9_conn_destroy() first kills all current requests by calling
p9_conn_cancel(), then waits for the request list to be cleared by
waiting on p9_conn->equeue.  After that, polling is stopped and the
trans is destroyed.  This sequence has a few problems.

* Read and write works were never cancelled and the p9_conn can be
  destroyed while the works are running as r/w works remove requests
  from the list and dereference the p9_conn from them.

* The list emptiness wait using p9_conn->equeue wouldn't trigger
  because p9_conn_cancel() always clears all the lists and the only
  way the wait can be triggered is to have another task to issue a
  request between the slim window between p9_conn_cancel() and the
  wait, which isn't safe under the current implementation with or
  without the wait.

This patch fixes the problem by first stopping poll, which can
schedule r/w works, first and cancle r/w works which guarantees that
r/w works are not and will not run from that point and then calling
p9_conn_cancel() and do the rest of destruction.

72029fe85d 9p: implement proper trans module refcounting and unregistration
9p trans modules aren't refcounted nor were they unregistered
properly.  Fix it.

* Add 9p_trans_module->owner and reference the module on each trans
  instance creation and put it on destruction.

* Protect v9fs_trans_list with a spinlock.  This isn't strictly
  necessary as the list is manipulated only during module loading /
  unloading but it's a good idea to make the API safe.

* Unregister trans modules when the corresponding module is being
  unloaded.

* While at it, kill unnecessary EXPORT_SYMBOL on p9_trans_fd_init().

lockdep.

73d4393d1d avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call convention
On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System
calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register
instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called
through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack.

This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32
architecture.  Tested with uClibc snapshot.

The #ifdef surrounding the code adding the mmc controller had a typo,
causing it to be compiled even when mmc was supposed to be disabled.

9744197c3d md: Don't wait UNINTERRUPTIBLE for other resync to finish
When two md arrays share some block device (e.g each uses different
partitions on the one device), a resync of one array will wait for
the resync on the other to finish.

This can be a long time and as it currently waits TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE,
the softlockup code notices and complains.

So use TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead and make sure to flush signals
before calling schedule.

e7272403d2 e100: Use pci_pme_active to clear PME_Status and disable PME#
Currently e100 uses pci_enable_wake() to clear pending wake-up events
and disable PME# during intitialization, but that function is not
suitable for this purpose, because it immediately returns error code
if device_may_wakeup() returns false for given device.

Make e100 use pci_pme_active(), which carries out exactly the
required operations, instead.

78566fecbb e1000: prevent corruption of EEPROM/NVM
Andrey reports e1000 corruption, and that a patch in vmware's ESX fixed
it.

The EEPROM corruption is triggered by concurrent access of the EEPROM
read/write. Putting a lock around it solve the problem.
