70d5098a4b mtd: mtdblock: call mtd_sync() only if opened for write
Because it is useless to call it if the device is opened in R/O mode, and also
harmful: on CFI NOR flash it may block for long time waiting for erase
operations to complete is another partition with a R/W file-system on this
chip.

Artem Bityutskiy: write commit message, amend the patch to match the latest
tree (we use mtd_sync(), not mtd->sync() nowadays).

2ff5e1532d mtd: pmc551: fix signedness bug in init_pmc551()
Since "length" is a u32, the error handling below didn't work when
fixup_pmc551() returns -ENODEV.

	if ((length = fixup_pmc551(PCI_Device)) <= 0)

This patch changes both the type of "length" and the return type of
fixup_pmc551() to int.

30ec5a2cb1 mtd: cfi: AMD/Fujitsu compatibles: add panic write support
This allows the mtdoops driver to work on flash chips using the
AMD/Fujitsu compatible command set.

As the code comments note, the locks used throughout the normal code
paths in the driver are ignored, so that the chance of writing out the
kernel's last messages are maximized.

3948659e30 xfs: Account log unmount transaction correctly
There have been a few reports of this warning appearing recently:

XFS (dm-4): xlog_space_left: head behind tail
 tail_cycle = 129, tail_bytes = 20163072
 GH   cycle = 129, GH   bytes = 20162880

The common cause appears to be lots of freeze and unfreeze cycles,
and the output from the warnings indicates that we are leaking
around 8 bytes of log space per freeze/unfreeze cycle.

When we freeze the filesystem, we write an unmount record and that
uses xlog_write directly - a special type of transaction,
effectively. What it doesn't do, however, is correctly account for
the log space it uses. The unmount record writes an 8 byte structure
with a special magic number into the log, and the space this
consumes is not accounted for in the log ticket tracking the
operation. Hence we leak 8 bytes every unmount record that is
written.

5132ba8f2b xfs: don't cache inodes read through bulkstat
When we read inodes via bulkstat, we generally only read them once
and then throw them away - they never get used again. If we retain
them in cache, then it simply causes the working set of inodes and
other cached items to be reclaimed just so the inode cache can grow.

Avoid this problem by marking inodes read by bulkstat not to be
cached and check this flag in .drop_inode to determine whether the
inode should be added to the VFS LRU or not. If the inode lookup
hits an already cached inode, then don't set the flag. If the inode
lookup hits an inode marked with no cache flag, remove the flag and
allow it to be cached once the current reference goes away.

Inodes marked as not cached will get cleaned up by the background
inode reclaim or via memory pressure, so they will still generate
some short term cache pressure. They will, however, be reclaimed
much sooner and in preference to cache hot inodes.

f7c79f30cb Btrfs: adjust the write_lock_level as we unlock
btrfs_search_slot sometimes needs write locks on high levels of
the tree.  It remembers the highest level that needs a write lock
and will use that for all future searches through the tree in a given

But, very often we'll just cow the top level or the level below and we
won't really need write locks on the root again after that.  This patch
changes things to adjust the write lock requirement as it unlocks
levels.

0b32f4bbb4 Btrfs: ensure an entire eb is written at once
This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers.  Previously we could exit
writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had
to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently.
Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers,
this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb
and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree.  Thanks,

7f3bd6c9cb setlocalversion: Use "grep -q" instead of piping output to "read dummy"
In some circumstances (eg when running a build in an emacs shell
buffer), I get a spew of messages like

    grep: writing output: Broken pipe

from setlocalversion, because the "read" subshell apparently exits as
soon as it reads one line and gives EPIPE to grep.  It's not clear to
me why this way of writing the check was used instead of just using
grep -q to suppress output, but unless there is some deep reason I
don't know, this way looks cleaner to me anyway, and gets rid of the
ugly message spew.

(I double checked at http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/utilities/grep.html
and "grep -q" is specified in POSIX / SuS, so hopefully even people
cross-compiling the kernel on some bizarre host OS can't complain
about this change)

necessary just sitting around in memory.  So instead of evicting these pages, we
could end up evicting things we actually care about.  Thus we have
free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks.  This will
make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as
possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be
released by releasepage.  Thanks,

atomic_inc_not_zero on the exists->refs and if it is zero just do
synchronize_rcu() and try again.  We won't have to worry about new allocators

727011e07c Btrfs: allow metadata blocks larger than the page size
A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than
the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the
page cache handling.  This fixes the code to properly support
large metadata blocks again.

Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger
metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels
can't mount it.

This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves.
You get a single block size for all tree blocks.

f2791d733a PM / Runtime: don't forget to wake up waitqueue on failure
This patch (as1535) fixes a bug in the runtime PM core.  When a
runtime suspend attempt completes, whether successfully or not, the
device's power.wait_queue is supposed to be signalled.  But this
doesn't happen in the failure pathway of rpm_suspend() when another
autosuspend attempt is rescheduled.  As a result, a task can get stuck
indefinitely on the wait queue (I have seen this happen in testing).

The patch fixes the problem by moving the wake_up_all() call up near
the start of the failure code.

e31be363df x86, efi: Fix .text section overlapping image header for EFI_STUB
This change modifes the PE .text section to start after
the first sector of the kernel image.

The header may be modified by the UEFI secure boot signing,
so it is not appropriate for it to be included in one of the
image sections. Since the sections are part of the secure
boot hash, this modification to the .text section contents
would invalidate the secure boot signed hash.

Note: UEFI secure boot does hash the image header, but
fields that are changed by the signing process are excluded
from the hash calculation.  This exclusion process is only
handled for the image header, and not image sections.

Luckily, we can still easily boot without the first sector
by initializing a few fields in arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c.

No relocations are required during the PE/COFF loading phase

The .reloc section header must exist to make sure the image

41101a3302 i2c-algo-bit: Don't resched on clock stretching
Clock stretching is not supposed to last long, so asking to be
rescheduled while waiting for the clock line to be released by a slave
makes little sense. Odds are that the clock line will long have been

get an SMBus timeout because of this.

So just busy-wait in that case. This also participates in the effort

b5447ff92b ath9k: fix a memory leak in ath_rx_tasklet()
commit 0d95521ea7 (ath9k: use split rx buffers to get rid of order-1 skb
allocations) added in memory leak in error path.

sc->rx.frag should be cleared after the pskb_expand_head() call, or else
we jump to requeue_drop_frag and leak an skb.

195ca3b122 ath9k: reduce listen time period
When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

66266b3ab4 cfg80211: allow CFG80211_SIGNAL_TYPE_UNSPEC in station_info
The station_info struct had demanded dBm signal values, but the
cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting
"unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was
completely unaware of them.  Resolve this by formally allowing the
"unspecified" units while making nl80211 ignore them.

e92109be7a iwlegacy: fix BSSID setting
Current commit 0775f9f90c
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3)
 wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out

2ee0a07028 ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold
Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

883a649b73 iwlegacy: do not nulify il->vif on reset
This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do
not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion
with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap().

Additionally this should address also
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface
at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.
