Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down. This happens
when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port. However,
IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group
succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port. The result
is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an active IB port
to support it.
If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might
not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
functionality will be damaged. The fix checks the state of the IB
port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().

The definition of nes_netdev_ops has initializations of a local function

Module edac_core.ko uses call_rcu() callbacks in edac_device.c, edac_mc.c
and edac_pci.c.
They all use a wait_for_completion() scheme, but this scheme it not 100%
safe on multiple CPUs. See the _rcu_barrier() implementation which
explains why extra precausion is needed.
The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls
rcu_barrier(). A maintainer needs to look at removing the
wait_for_completion code.

Add support for the Freescale MPC83xx memory controller to the existing
driver for the Freescale MPC85xx memory controller. The only difference
between the two processors are in the CS_BNDS register parsing code, which
has been changed so it will work on both processors.
The L2 cache controller does not exist on the MPC83xx, but the OF
subsystem will not use the driver if the device is not present in the OF
device tree.
I had to change the nr_pages calculation to make the math work out. I
checked it on my board and did the math by hand for a 64GB 85xx using 64K
pages. In both cases, nr_pages * PAGE_SIZE comes out to the correct
value.

The periodic interrupt from drivers/char/hpet.c does not work correctly,
both when using the periodic capability of the hardware and while
emulating the periodic interrupt (when hardware does not support periodic
mode).
With timers capable of periodic interrupts, the comparator field is first
set with the period value followed by set of hidden accumulator, which has
the side effect of overwriting the comparator value. This results in
wrong periodicity for the interrupts. For, periodic interrupts to work,
following steps are necessary, in that order.
* Set config with Tn_VAL_SET_CNF bit
* Write to hidden accumulator, the value written is the time when the
first interrupt should be generated
* Write compartor with period interval for subsequent interrupts
(http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf )
When emulating periodic timer with timers not capable of periodic
interrupt, driver is adding the period to counter value instead of
comparator value, which causes slow drift when using this emulation.
Also, driver seems to add hpetp->hp_delta both while setting up periodic
interrupt and while emulating periodic interrupts with timers not capable
of doing periodic interrupts. This hp_delta will result in slower than
expected interrupt rate and should not be used while setting the interval.

It happens because the new INPUT_WINBOND_CIR driver relies on new-leds
infrastructure - but does not select it in drivers/input/misc/Kconfig.
But it selects LEDS_CLASS, which confuses a number of other drivers into
thinking that all the leds infrastructure is in place.
Fix this by selecting NEW_LEDS as well, like similar drivers do.
Eventually, this whole leds infrastructure complexity should be
cleaned up, it's been going on for years.

Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and
provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls
__hvc_resize().
The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize()
function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock
itself.
According to naming rules, the unlocked version is renamed and
prefixed with "__".
References to unlocked function calls in hvc back-ends has been updated.

Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output
queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early.
It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure,
but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other
drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons).
For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux
network API.

The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old
xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit
path).
The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(),
reset on every xmit. Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the
transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer
fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken.
So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices
send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring
which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet(). This was a benchmark win.
Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a
host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit
packet (slowing the guest down further). Attempting mitigation in the
host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional
pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it
wrong.
In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage
of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there.
Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and
no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY. Note that the current
QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal,
but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that.
Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified
the other end, for a slight optimization.

This effectively reverts 99ffc696d10b28580fe93441d627cf290ac4484c
"virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY".
The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is
questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the
tasklet in the next patch.
If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on
removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't
generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times.
After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan()
generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following
patches take advantage of this.

When power is applied to the ltc4245 chip it sometimes reports spurious
faults, which are exposed as alarms in the hwmon output. Clear the fault
register when the driver is installed to clear the alarms.

When power is applied to the ltc4215 chip it sometimes reports spurious
faults. The faults are not yet exposed via sysfs, however it may be useful
for userspace to read the fault register directly with the i2cget command.
Clear the fault register when the driver is installed so userspace doesn't
have to worry about spurious fault indications.

Following patch adds support for mobile Penryn CPUs. Intel documents this
poorly. I asked the Coretemp author for some help. This is totally untested and
may not work. Please test!
