Right now, if _BQC returns a value we don't understand we immediately
invalidate it. Change this behaviour so we only invalidate it if it
continues to give an invalid answer after we've already set a brightness.

Due to lack of time, space, motivation, hardware and probably expertise,
I have reluctantly decided to orphan the DECnet code in the kernel.
Judging by the deafening silence on the linux-decnet mailing list I
suspect it's either not being used anyway, or the few people that are
using it are happy with their older kernels.

Most laptops have keys that are intended to toggle all device state, not
just wifi. These are currently generally mapped to KEY_WLAN. As a result,
rfkill will only kill or enable wifi in response to the key press. This
confuses users and can make it difficult for them to enable bluetooth
and wwan devices.
This patch adds a new keycode, KEY_RFKILL. It indicates that the system
should toggle the state of all rfkillable devices.

633aae2 "Input: i8042 - switch to using dev_pm_ops" removed handling
for PMSG_THAW, since we do not need to do anything during freeze and
thus it was thougt that thaw is not needed as well. However, there is
a period when interrupts are kept off, and if key happens to be pressed
during that time KBC becomes jammed. To avoid the jam we simply need
to poll KBC once during thaw.

We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing
for acpi=disabled. e5b8fc6ac158f65598f58dba2c0d52ba3b412f52
This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist.
acpi=ht is a really ugly hack,
but restore it for those that still use it.

Previous code did associate fence to bo before the fence was emited
and it also didn't lock protected access to ttm sync_obj member.
Both of this flaw leads to possible race between different code
path. This patch fix this by associating fence only once the fence
is emitted and properly lock protect access to sync_obj member of
ttm.

There is 3 different distinct states for an indirect buffer (IB) :
1- free with no fence
2- free with a fence
3- non free (fence doesn't matter)
Previous code mixed case 2 & 3 in a single one leading to possible
catastrophique failure. This patch rework the handling and properly
separate each case. So when you get ib we set the ib as non free and
fence status doesn't matter. Fence become active (ie has a meaning
for the ib code) once the ib is scheduled or free. This patch also
get rid of the alloc bitmap as it was overkill, we know go through
IB pool list like in a ring buffer as the oldest IB is the first
one the will be free.

When controlling an industrial radio modem it can be necessary to
manipulate the handshake lines in order to control the radio modem's
transmitter, from userspace.
The transmitter should not be turned off before all characters have been
transmitted. serial8250_tx_empty() was reporting that all characters were
transmitted before they actually were.
===
Discovered in parallel with more testing and analysis by Kees Schoenmakers
as follows:
I ran into an NetMos 9835 serial pci board which behaves a little
different than the standard. This type of expansion board is very common.
"Standard" 8250 compatible devices clear the 'UART_LST_TEMT" bit together
with the "UART_LSR_THRE" bit when writing data to the device.
The NetMos device does it slightly different
I believe that the TEMT bit is coupled to the shift register. The problem
is that after writing data to the device and very quickly after that one
does call serial8250_tx_empty, it returns the wrong information.
My patch makes the test more robust (and solves the problem) and it does
not affect the already correct devices.
Alan:
We may yet need to quirk this but now we know which chips we have a
way to do that should we find this breaks some other 8250 clone with
dodgy THRE.

There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from
sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes
on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the
backing store attributes. Resulting in overly restrictive
permissions on sysfs files.
The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes
when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

With CONFIG_USB_ULPI=y, CONFIG_USB<=m, CONFIG_PCI=n and
CONFIG_USB_OTG_UTILS=n, which is the default used for mx31moboard,
the build for all mx3 platforms fails because drivers/usb/otg/ulpi.c
where otg_ulpi_create is defined is not compiled.
Build error:
arch/arm/mach-mx3/built-in.o: In function `mxc_board_init':

kzmarm11.c:(.init.text+0x1020): undefined reference to `otg_ulpi_create'
This isn't a strong dependency as drivers/usb/otg/ulpi.c doesn't
use functions defined in drivers/usb/otg/otg.o and is only needed
to get ulpi.o linked into the kernel image.

After kfifo rework it's no longer possible to reliably know if kfifo is
usable, since after kfifo_free(), kfifo_initialized() would still return
true. The correct behaviour is needed for at least FHCI USB driver.
This patch fixes the issue by resetting the kfifo to zero values (the
same approach is used in kfifo_alloc() if allocation failed).

I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the
'struct async *as' in the error paths.
I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The
caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the
caller should be the one to free it too.
Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets
freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

This patch fixes the problem that system may stall if target's ->map_rq
returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE in map_request().
E.g. stall happens on 1 CPU box when a dm-mpath device with queue_if_no_path
bounces between all-paths-down and paths-up on I/O load.
When target's ->map_rq returns DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE, map_request() requeues
the request and returns to dm_request_fn(). Then, dm_request_fn()
doesn't exit the I/O dispatching loop and continues processing
the requeued request again.
This map and requeue loop can be done with interrupt disabled,
so 1 CPU system can be stalled if this situation happens.
For example, commands below can stall my 1 CPU box within 1 minute or so:
# dmsetup table mp
mp: 0 2097152 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 service-time 0 1 2 8:144 1 1
# while true; do dd if=/dev/mapper/mp of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100; done &
# while true; do \
> dmsetup message mp 0 "fail_path 8:144" \
> dmsetup suspend --noflush mp \
> dmsetup resume mp \
> dmsetup message mp 0 "reinstate_path 8:144" \
> done
To fix the problem above, this patch changes dm_request_fn() to exit
the I/O dispatching loop once if a request is requeued in map_request().

Analysis
When recovery process of a region failed, dm_rh_recovery_end() function
changes the state of the region from RM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC.
When recovery_complete() is executed between dm_rh_update_states() and
dm_writes() in do_mirror(), bios are processed with the region state,
DM_RH_NOSYNC. However, the region data is freed without checking its
pending count when dm_rh_update_states() is called next time.
When bios are finished by mirror_end_io(), __rh_lookup() in dm_rh_dec()
returns NULL even though a valid return value are expected.
Solution
Remove the state change of the recovery failed region from DM_RH_RECOVERING
to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end(). We can remove the state change
because:
- If the region data has been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a new region data is created with the state of DM_RH_NOSYNC, and
bios are processed according to the DM_RH_NOSYNC state.
- If the region data has not been released by dm_rh_update_states(),
a state of the region is DM_RH_RECOVERING and bios are put in the
delayed_bio list.
The flag change from DM_RH_RECOVERING to DM_RH_NOSYNC in dm_rh_recovery_end()
was added in the following commit:

If the mirror log fails when the handle_errors option was not selected
and there is no remaining valid mirror leg, writes return success even
though they weren't actually written to any device. This patch
completes them with EIO instead.
This code path is taken:
do_writes:
bio_list_merge(&ms->failures, &sync);
do_failures:
if (!get_valid_mirror(ms)) (false)
else if (errors_handled(ms)) (false)
else bio_endio(bio, 0);
The logic in do_failures is based on presuming that the write was already
tried: if it succeeded at least on one leg (without handle_errors) it
is reported as success.

This patch fixes two bugs that revolve around the miscalculation and
misuse of the variable 'overhead_size'. 'overhead_size' is the size of
the various header structures used during communication.
The first bug is the use of 'sizeof' with the pointer of a structure
instead of the structure itself - resulting in the wrong size being
computed. This is then used in a check to see if the payload
(data_size) would be to large for the preallocated structure. Since the
bug produces a smaller value for the overhead, it was possible for the
structure to be breached. (Although the current users of the code do
not currently send enough data to trigger this bug.)
The second bug is that the 'overhead_size' value is used to compute how
much of the preallocated space should be cleared before populating it
with fresh data. This should have simply been 'sizeof(struct cn_msg)'
not overhead_size. The fact that 'overhead_size' was computed
incorrectly made this problem "less bad" - leaving only a pointer's
worth of space at the end uncleared. Thus, this bug was never producing
a bad result, but still needs to be fixed - especially now that the
value is computed correctly.
