      locking/rtmutex: Implement lockless top-waiter wakeup · 45ab4eff
      Davidlohr Bueso authored
      Mark the task for later wakeup after the wait_lock has been released.
      This way, once the next task is awoken, it will have a better chance
      to of finding the wait_lock free when continuing executing in
      __rt_mutex_slowlock() when trying to acquire the rtmutex, calling
      try_to_take_rt_mutex(). Upon contended scenarios, other tasks attempting
      take the lock may acquire it first, right after the wait_lock is released,
      but (a) this can also occur with the current code, as it relies on the
      spinlock fairness, and (b) we are dealing with the top-waiter anyway,
      so it will always take the lock next.

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Various VTI tunnel (mark handling, PMTU) bug fixes from Alexander
          Duyck and Steffen Klassert.
      
       2) Revert ethtool PHY query change, it wasn't correct.  The PHY address
          selected by the driver running the PHY to MAC connection decides
          what PHY address GET ethtool operations return information from.
      
       3) Fix handling of sequence number bits for encryption IV generation in
          ESP driver, from Herbert Xu.
      
       4) UDP can return -EAGAIN when we hit a bad checksum on receive, even
          when there are other packets in the receive queue which is wrong.
          Just respect the error returned from the generic socket recv
          datagram helper.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
       5) Fix BNA driver firmware loading on big-endian systems, from Ivan
          Vecera.
      
       6) Fix regression in that we were inheriting the congestion control of
          the listening socket for new connections, the intended behavior
          always was to use the default in this case.  From Neal Cardwell.
      
       7) Fix NULL deref in brcmfmac driver, from Arend van Spriel.
      
       8) OTP parsing fix in iwlwifi from Liad Kaufman.

       2) The bit that normally means "Cached Virtually" on sun4v systems,
          actually changes meaning in M7 and later chips.  Fix from Khalid
          Aziz.
      
       3) One some PCI-E systems we need to probe different OF properties to
          fill in the PCI slot information properly, from Eric Snowberg.
