7564f67d5b V4L/DVB (11669): uvc: fix compile warning
The 2.6.30 kernel generates this warning:

uvc_driver.c:1729: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

I guess some new warning flag must have been turned on since this warning
didn't appear with older kernels (gcc version 4.3.1). It's also a bogus
warning, but since this code didn't comply to the coding standard anyway
I've modified it to 1) remove the warning and 2) conform to the coding
standard.

Some ioctls have structs that are a different size depending on what type
of buffer is being used.  If the buffer type leaves a field unused or has
padding space at the end, this space should be zeroed out.

The problems with S_FMT and REQBUFS were original identified and patched by
Marton Nemeth <nm127@freemail.hu>.

1175d6131f V4L/DVB (11661): v4l2-ioctl: Check buffer types using g_fmt instead of try_fmt
For a number of different ioctls, the v4l2-ioctl code checks that the
passed buffer type is supported by the driver.  It did this by checking
that the driver defined a method for the try_fmt handler for that buffer
type.  However, try_fmt is optional and a driver might not provide it even
though it does support that type.  So use g_fmt instead, since that isn't
optional.

This should fix a problem with VBI capture with saa7146.

If someone requests a format at fmt->index == (unsigned)-1 and the first
format in the array doesn't have the requested type then num will still be
-1 when it's compared to fmt->index and there will appear to be a match.

Restructure the loop so this can't happen.  It's simpler this way too.  The
unnecessary check for (unsigned)fmt->index < 0 found by Roel Kluin
<roel.kluin@gmail.com> is removed this way too.

Now urb buffers is not freed before suspend, so uvc_alloc_urb_buffers should
return packet counts allocated originally during uvc resume, instead of zero.

This version uses round down to return packet counts on Linus' suggestions,
or else may lead to buffer destructed if packet size is changed before
calling uvc_alloc_urb_buffers() in this kind of case.

9d34d1a20e bonding: fix panic if initialization fails
If module initialisation failed (e.g. because the bonding sysfs entry
cannot be created), kernel panics:
 IP: [<ffffffff8024910a>] destroy_workqueue+0x2d/0x146
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff808268c4>] bond_destructor+0x28/0x78

 [<ffffffff81567907>] bonding_init+0x83e/0x84a

Remove the calls to bond_work_cancel_all() and destroy_workqueue();
both are also called/scheduled via bond_free_all().

bond_destroy_sysfs is unecessary because the sysfs entry has
not been created in the error case.

This patch (as1238) adds proper reference counting for ftdi_sio's
private data structure.  Without it, the driver will free the
structure while it is still in use if the user unplugs the serial
device before closing the device file.

The patch also replaces a slightly dangerous
cancel_delayed_work/flush_scheduled_work pair with
cancel_delayed_work_sync, which is always safer.

e67c85626c Revert driver core: move platform_data into platform_device
This reverts commit 006f4571a1:

	This patch moves platform_data from struct device into
	struct platform_device, based on the two ideas:

	1. Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register,
	   which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter
	   of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from
	   platform_device;

	2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can
	   decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device.

	Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they
	can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we
	keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until
	all platform devices pass its platfrom data from
	platform_device->platform_data.

	All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome.

As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

This reverts commit ce21c7bcd7:
	We will remove platform_data field from struct device until
	all platform devices pass its specific data from platfom_device
	and all platform drivers use platform specific data passed by
	platform_device->platform_data. This kind of conversion will
	need a long time, for thousands of files is affected.

	To make the conversion easily, we allow platform specific data
	passed by struct device or struct platform_device and platform
	driver may use it from struct device or struct platform_device.

As we really don't want to do this at all.

8a0a9bd4db random: make get_random_int() more random
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.

And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.

Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.

I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.

c4647292fd md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
   rd2 -> dev-sda

indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.

These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after ->stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.

So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

5bf2959754 md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.

It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.

It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').

Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.

So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.

This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

dd71cf6b27 md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.
Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
   now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
   the range of "unsigned long".

So
 - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
   in there and in 'resync'
 - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
   remaining sectors.
 - use sector_div rather than normal division.
 - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
   + making it a power of 2 makes division easier
   + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
     speed over the entire run.  Now we average speed over the last 30
     seconds or so.
