26a5d3cc0b netfilter: ipset: fix hash size checking in kernel
The hash size must fit both into u32 (jhash) and the max value of
size_t. The missing checking could lead to kernel crash, bug reported
by Seblu.

c27b46e7f1 mISDN: Implement MISDN_CTRL_RX_OFF for more drivers
MISDN_CTRL_RX_OFF is a meachanism to discard RX data in the driver if
the data is not needed by the application. It can be used when playing

c142786c62 KVM: MMU: Don't use RCU for lockless shadow walking
Using RCU for lockless shadow walking can increase the amount of memory
in use by the system, since RCU grace periods are unpredictable.  We also
have an unconditional write to a shared variable (reader_counter), which
isn't good for scaling.

Replace that with a scheme similar to x86's get_user_pages_fast(): disable
interrupts during lockless shadow walk to force the freer
(kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page()) to wait for the TLB flush IPI to find the
processor with interrupts enabled.

We also add a new vcpu->mode, READING_SHADOW_PAGE_TABLES, to prevent
kvm_flush_remote_tlbs() from avoiding the IPI.

1894a253db ramoops: Move to fs/pstore/ram.c
Since ramoops was converted to pstore, it has nothing to do with character
devices nowadays. Instead, today it is just a RAM backend for pstore.

The patch just moves things around. There are a few changes were needed
because of the move:

1. Kconfig and Makefiles fixups, of course.

2. In pstore/ram.c we have to play a bit with MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, this
   is needed to keep user experience the same as with ramoops driver
   (i.e. so that ramoops.foo kernel command line arguments would still
   work).

fd2cbd4dfa jbd: Write journal superblock with WRITE_FUA after checkpointing
If journal superblock is written only in disk's caches and other transaction
starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log, it can happen
blocks of a new transaction reach the disk before journal superblock. When
power failure happens in such case, subsequent journal replay would still try
to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

3a3bfb61e6 net: Add net_ratelimited_function and net_<level>_ratelimited macros
__ratelimit() can be considered an inverted bool test because
it returns true when not ratelimited.  Several tests in the
kernel tree use this __ratelimit() function incorrectly.

No net_ratelimit uses are incorrect currently though.

Most uses of net_ratelimit are to log something via printk or
pr_<level>.

In order to minimize the uses of net_ratelimit, and to start
standardizing the code style used for __ratelimit() and net_ratelimit(),
add a net_ratelimited_function() macro and net_<level>_ratelimited()
logging macros similar to pr_<level>_ratelimited that use the global
net_ratelimit instead of a static per call site "struct ratelimit_state".

5b6e9bcdeb usbnet: fix skb traversing races during unlink(v2)
Commit 4231d47e6fe69f061f96c98c30eaf9fb4c14b96d(net/usbnet: avoid
recursive locking in usbnet_stop()) fixes the recursive locking
problem by releasing the skb queue lock before unlink, but may
cause skb traversing races:
	- after URB is unlinked and the queue lock is released,
	the refered skb and skb->next may be moved to done queue,
	even be released
	- in skb_queue_walk_safe, the next skb is still obtained
	by next pointer of the last skb
	- so maybe trigger oops or other problems

This patch extends the usage of entry->state to describe 'start_unlink'
state, so always holding the queue(rx/tx) lock to change the state if
the referd skb is in rx or tx queue because we need to know if the
refered urb has been started unlinking in unlink_urbs.

The other part of this patch is based on Huajun's patch:
always traverse from head of the tx/rx queue to get skb which is
to be unlinked but not been started unlinking.

38b5faf4b1 mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers
This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem.
This includes:

(1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and
swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them
to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h
just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static

(2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct.  Frontswap_map
points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates
whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages
counts how many pages are in frontswap.

(3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that
frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".

Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted
by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk.

c3ba969815 mm: frontswap: add frontswap header file
Frontswap is the alter ego of cleancache, the "yang" to cleancache's
"yin"... and more precisely frontswap is the provider of anonymous
pages to transcendent memory to nicely complement cleancache's providing
of clean pagecache pages to transcendent memory.  For optimal use
of transcendent memory, both are necessary... because a kernel
under memory pressure first reclaims clean pagecache pages and,
when under more memory pressure, starts swapping anonymous pages.

Frontswap and cleancache (which was merged at 3.0) are the "frontends"
and the only necessary changes to the core kernel for transcendent memory;
all other supporting code -- the "backends" -- is implemented as drivers.
See the LWN.net article "Transcendent memory in a nutshell" for a detailed
overview of frontswap and related kernel parts:

Frontswap code was first posted publicly in January 2009 and on LKML in
May 2009, and has remained functionally stable for nearly three years now.
It is barely invasive, touching only the swap subsystem and adds less
than 100 lines of code to existing swap subsystem code files.
It has improved syntactically substantially between V1 and this posting
of V14, thanks to the review of a few kernel developers, and has adapted
easily to at least one major swap subsystem change.  As of 3.4, there are
three in-tree users of frontswap patiently waiting for this patchset and
for CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to be enabled: zcache (staging driver merged at
2.6.39), Xen tmem (merged at 3.0 and 3.1) and RAMster (staging driver
merged at 3.4).  In addition, a RFC has been posted for a KVM backend.
The frontswap patchset has been in linux-next since next-110603.  Earlier
versions of frontswap already ship in the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
and SuSE SLES.

This patch, 1of4, provides the header file for the core code for frontswap
that interfaces between the hooks in the swap subsystem and a frontswap
backend via frontswap_ops.

4d82a1debb lockdep: fix oops in processing workqueue
Under memory load, on x86_64, with lockdep enabled, the workqueue's
process_one_work() has been seen to oops in __lock_acquire(), barfing
on a 0xffffffff00000000 pointer in the lockdep_map's class_cache[].

Because it's permissible to free a work_struct from its callout function,
the map used is an onstack copy of the map given in the work_struct: and
that copy is made without any locking.

Surprisingly, gcc (4.5.1 in Hugh's case) uses "rep movsl" rather than
"rep movsq" for that structure copy: which might race with a workqueue
user's wait_on_work() doing lock_map_acquire() on the source of the
copy, putting a pointer into the class_cache[], but only in time for
the top half of that pointer to be copied to the destination map.

Boom when process_one_work() subsequently does lock_map_acquire()
on its onstack copy of the lockdep_map.

Fix this, and a similar instance in call_timer_fn(), with a
lockdep_copy_map() function which additionally NULLs the class_cache[].

Note: this oops was actually seen on 3.4-next, where flush_work() newly
does the racing lock_map_acquire(); but Tejun points out that 3.4 and
earlier are already vulnerable to the same through wait_on_work().

* Patch orginally from Peter.  Hugh modified it a bit and wrote the
  description.

b404aef72f KEYS: Don't check for NULL key pointer in key_validate()
Don't bother checking for NULL key pointer in key_validate() as all of the
places that call it will crash anyway if the relevant key pointer is NULL by
the time they call key_validate().  Therefore, the checking must be done prior
to calling here.

Whilst we're at it, simplify the key_validate() function a bit and mark its
argument const.

05c69d298c block: fix buffer overflow when printing partition UUIDs
6d1d8050b4 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"
added part_unpack_uuid() which assumes that the passed in buffer has
enough space for sprintfing "%pU" - 37 characters including '\0'.

Unfortunately, b5af921ec0 "init: add support for root devices
specified by partition UUID" supplied 33 bytes buffer to the function
leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.

  Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack corrupted in: ffffffff81b14c7e

Increase the buffer size, remove the dangerous part_unpack_uuid() and
use snprintf() directly from printk_all_partitions().

b9cde0a8be stmmac: add mixed burst for DMA
In mixed burst (MB) mode, the AHB master always initiates
the bursts with fixed-size when the DMA requests transfers
of size less than or equal to 16 beats.
This patch adds the MB support and the flag that can be
passed from the platform to select it.
MB mode can also give some benefits in terms of performances
on some platforms.
