Kdump kernels leave MSI-X interrupts (as setup by the crashed kernel)
enabled. However, kdump only enables one CPU in the new environment,
thus causing tg3 to abort MSI-X setup. When the driver attempts to
enable INTA or MSI interrupt modes on a kdump kernel, interrupt
delivery fails.
This patch attempts to workaround the problem by forcing the driver
to enable a single MSI-X interrupt. In such a configuration, the
device's multivector interrupt mode must be disabled.

The logic to split up the list of datapaths into multiple Netlink messages
was simply wrong, causing the list to be terminated after the first part.
Only about the first 50 datapaths would be dumped. This fixes the
problem.

In commit 4ce3c183fca (snmp: 64bit ipstats_mib for all arches), I forgot
to change the /proc/net/dev_snmp6/xxx output for IP counters.
percpu array is 64bit per counter but the folding still used the 'long'
variant, and output garbage on 32bit arches.

skb_checksum_help() has never done anything useful with skbs that
require segmentation. Setting skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE makes
them invalid and provokes a later WARNing in skb_gso_segment().
Passing such an skb to skb_checksum_help() indicates a bug, so we
should warn about it immediately. Move the warning from
skb_gso_segment() into a shared function, and add gso_type and
gso_size to it.

Alexandre Oliva <oliva@lsd.ic.unicamp.br> says:
"It's an issue brought about by GCC 4.7's partial-inlining, that ends up
splitting the udelay function just at the wrong spot, in such a way that
some sanity checks for constants fails, and we end up calling
bad_udelay.
This patch fixes the problem. Feel free to push it upstream if it makes

The brcmsmac driver isn't a PCI driver any more, it's a bcma one. The
PCI device has been resumed by the PCI driver (the generic PCI layer,
really), we should be resuming just our own driver state.

We may leak the 'fwd_skb' we skb_copy() in ieee80211_rx_h_mesh_fwding() if
we take the 'else' branch in the 'if' statement just below. If we take
that branch we'll end up returning from the function and since we've not
assigned 'fwd_skb' to anything at that point, we leak it when the variable
goes out of scope.
The simple fix seems to be to just kfree_skb(fwd_skb); just before we
return. That is what this patch does.

Documentation states that the KeyMiss flag is only valid if RxFrameOK is
unset, however empirical evidence has shown that this is false.
When KeyMiss is set (and RxFrameOK is 1), the hardware passes a valid frame
which has not been decrypted. The driver then falsely marks the frame
as decrypted, and when using CCMP this corrupts the rx CCMP PN, leading
to connection hangs.

This clears the currently mapped core when suspending, to force
re-mapping after resume. Without that we were touching default core

When userspace attempts to authorize a station
that is already authorized, nothing happens as
you'd expect. Similarly, when it unauthorizes
a station that is associated, nothing happens.
However, when it unauthorizes a station that
isn't even associated yet, we erroneously try
to move the station to associated. This seems
to happen occasionally as a result of a race
when wpa_supplicant attempts to unauthorize
the port in managed mode. Particularly with my
new patches to keep stations, it can then move
a station into ASSOCIATED state before we have
really associated, which is really confusing.
I introduced this bug in
"mac80211: refactor station state transitions"

Same devices can generate interrupt without properly setting bit in
INT_SOURCE_CSR register (spurious interrupt), what will cause IRQ line
will be disabled by interrupts controller driver.
We discovered that clearing INT_MASK_CSR stops such behaviour. We
previously first read that register, and then clear all know interrupt
sources bits and do not touch reserved bits. After this patch, we write
to all register content (I believe writing to reserved bits on that
register will not cause any problems, I tested that on my rt2800pci
device).
This fix very bad performance problem, practically making device
unusable (since worked without interrupts), reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658451
We previously tried to workaround that issue in commit
4ba7d9997869d25bd223dea7536fc1ce9fab3b3b "rt2800pci: handle spurious
interrupts", but it was reverted in commit
82e5fc2a34fa9ffea38f00c4066b7e600a0ca5e6
as thing, that will prevent to detect real spurious interrupts.

This is basically just a cleanup. Large positive numbers get counted as
negative but then get implicitly cast to positive again for the checks
that matter.
This does make a small difference in ipw_handle_promiscuous_rx() when we
test "if (unlikely((len + IPW_RX_FRAME_SIZE) > skb_tailroom(rxb->skb)))"
It should return there, but we don't return until a couple lines later
when we test "if (len > IPW_RX_BUF_SIZE - sizeof(struct ipw_rt_hdr)) {".
The difference is that in the second test the sizeof() means that there
is an implied cast to unsigned.

Although only used currently for tcp sockets, this function

Commit 475f1b52645a29936b9df1d8fcd45f7e56bd4a9f moved the
declaration of sock_update_clone() to inside sock.c, but
this only fixes the problem when CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM

This patch partially reverts:
3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support
that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle.
After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef,
that initially added the preliminary infrastructure.
I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach
that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups.
Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x
development cycle that resolve the existing issues while
providing a neat solution.
Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in
user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know
FOSS project (to my knowledge).

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).
This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.
The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.
- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.
So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.
The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.
However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.
This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.
