      nfs41_callback_svc does most of its work while in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE,
      which is just wrong. Fix that by finishing the wait immediately if we've
      found that the list has something on it.
      
      Also, we don't expect this kthread to accept signals, so we should be
      using a TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleep instead. That however, opens us up
      hung task warnings from the watchdog, so have the schedule_timeout
      wake up every 60s if there's no callback activity.

      sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power... · 1f766656
      Len Brown authored
      sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance
      
      commit b253149b upstream.
      
      In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop:
      
        69fb3676 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param")
      
      The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently
      happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT
      loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle
      invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop.
      
      But two machines reported problems:
      
       1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only.
          MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance.
          But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and
          so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever.
      
       2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used,
          but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used.
          This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI,
          that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS
          where the BIOS was validated.
      
             https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770
      
      So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring
      the mwait_idle() loop.  However, we don't bother restoring
      the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add
      no value.
      
      Maintainer notes:
      
        For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676
        for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in
        context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly

      compal-laptop: Check return value of power_supply_register · 6f35715c
      Krzysztof Kozlowski authored
      commit 1915a718 upstream.
      
      The return value of power_supply_register() call was not checked and
      even on error probe() function returned 0. If registering failed then
      during unbind the driver tried to unregister power supply which was not
      actually registered.
      
      This could lead to memory corruption because power_supply_unregister()
      unconditionally cleans up given power supply.
      
      Fix this by checking return status of power_supply_register() call. In
      case of failure, clean up sysfs entries and fail the probe.

      RCU pathwalk breakage when running into a symlink overmounting something · b1aaebf1
      Al Viro authored
      commit 3cab989a upstream.
      
      Calling unlazy_walk() in walk_component() and do_last() when we find
      a symlink that needs to be followed doesn't acquire a reference to vfsmount.
      That's fine when the symlink is on the same vfsmount as the parent directory
      (which is almost always the case), but it's not always true - one _can_
      manage to bind a symlink on top of something.  And in such cases we end up
      with excessive mntput().

      drm/i915: cope with large i2c transfers · 345c304f
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      commit 9535c475 upstream.
      
      The hardware, according to the specs, is limited to 256 byte transfers,
      and current driver has no protections in case users attempt to do larger
      transfers. The code will just stomp over status register and mayhem
      ensues.
      
      Let's split larger transfers into digestable chunks. Doing this allows
      Atmel MXT driver on Pixel 1 function properly (it hasn't since commit
      9d8dc3e5 "Input: atmel_mxt_ts -
      implement T44 message handling" which tries to consume multiple
      touchscreen/touchpad reports in a single transaction).
