      libata: improve phantom device detection · 6a6b97d3
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently libata uses four methods to detect device presence.
      
      1. PHY status if available.
      2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes)
      3. device signature after reset
      4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine
      
      Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there
      have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary
      delay during probe.  In both cases, PHY status wasn't available.  In
      one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which
      didn't qualify as #4.  The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4,
      it still caused failure.
      
      In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these
      cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY
      failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.

      9p: restrict RDMA usage · 4ff429e6
      Randy Dunlap authored
      linux-next:
      
      Make 9p's RDMA option depend on INET since it uses Infiniband rdma_*
      functions and that code depends on INET.  Otherwise 9p can try to
      use symbols which don't exist.

      I used an if/endif block so that the menu items would remain
      presented together.
      
      Also correct an article adjective.

      [S390] fix s390x_newuname · d2f019fe
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      The uname system call for 64 bit compares current->personality without
      masking the upper 16 bits. If e.g. READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is set the result
      of a uname system call will always be s390x even if the process uses
      the s390 personality.
