      Remove myself as cpufreq maintainer.
      x86 driver changes can go through the regular x86/ACPI trees.

      cpufreq core changes are rare these days, and can just go to lkml/direct.

      seqlock: add 'raw_seqcount_begin()' function · 4f988f15
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The normal read_seqcount_begin() function will wait for any current
      writers to exit their critical region by looping until the sequence
      count is even.
      
      That "wait for sequence count to stabilize" is the right thing to do if
      the read-locker will just retry the whole operation on contention: no
      point in doing a potentially expensive reader sequence if we know at the
      beginning that we'll just end up re-doing it all.
      
      HOWEVER.  Some users don't actually retry the operation, but instead
      will abort and do the operation with proper locking.  So the sequence
      count case may be the optimistic quick case, but in the presense of
      writers you may want to do full locking in order to guarantee forward
      progress.  The prime example of this would be the RCU name lookup.
      
      And in that case, you may well be better off without the "retry early",
      and are in a rush to instead get to the failure handling.  Thus this
      "raw" interface that just returns the sequence number without testing it
      - it just forces the low bit to zero so that read_seqcount_retry() will
      always fail such a "active concurrent writer" scenario.

      Fix __read_seqcount_begin() to use ACCESS_ONCE for sequence value read · 2f624278
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We really need to use a ACCESS_ONCE() on the sequence value read in
      __read_seqcount_begin(), because otherwise the compiler might end up
      reloading the value in between the test and the return of it.  As a
      result, it might end up returning an odd value (which means that a write
      is in progress).
      
      If the reader is then fast enough that that odd value is still the
      current one when the read_seqcount_retry() is done, we might end up with
      a "successful" read sequence, even despite the concurrent write being
      active.
      
      In practice this probably never really happens - there just isn't
      anything else going on around the read of the sequence count, and the
      common case is that we end up having a read barrier immediately
      afterwards.
      
      So the code sequence in which gcc might decide to reaload from memory is
      small, and there's no reason to believe it would ever actually do the
      reload.  But if the compiler ever were to decide to do so, it would be
      incredibly annoying to debug.  Let's just make sure.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Jana Saout confirmed that this fixes the page faults he saw.
      
      His problem was triggered by ocfs2 and autofs symlink lookups, where the
      symlink allocation was at the end of a page.  But the deeper reason
      seems to be the use of Xen-PV, which is what then causes him to have all
      these unmapped pages, which is what then makes it a problem when the
      unaligned word-at-a-time code fetches data past the end of a page.

      md/bitmap: fix calculation of 'chunks' - missing shift. · b16b1b6c
      NeilBrown authored
      commit 61a0d80c "md/bitmap: discard CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT macro"
      replaced CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO() by the same text that was
      replacing CHUNK_BLOCK_SHIFT() - which is clearly wrong.
      
      The result is that 'chunks' is often too small by 1,
      which can sometimes result in a crash (not sure how).
      
      So use the correct replacement, and get rid of CHUNK_BLOCK_RATIO
      which is no longe used.

      fs/cifs: fix parsing of dfs referrals · d8f2799b
      Stefan Metzmacher authored
      The problem was that the first referral was parsed more than once
      and so the caller tried the same referrals multiple times.
      
      The problem was introduced partly by commit
      066ce689,
      where 'ref += le16_to_cpu(ref->Size);' got lost,
      but that was also wrong...
