      USB: serial: Enforce USB driver and USB serial driver match · 954c3f8a
      Bjørn Mork authored 
      We need to make sure that the USB serial driver we find
matches the USB driver whose probe we are currently
executing. Otherwise we will end up with USB serial
devices bound to the correct serial driver but wrong
USB driver.

An example of such cross-probing, where the usbserial_generic
USB driver has found the sierra serial driver:

So we end up with a mismatch between the USB driver and the
USB serial driver.  The reason for the above is simple: The
USB driver probe will succeed if *any* registered serial
driver matches, and will use that serial driver for all
serial driver functions.

This makes ref counting go wrong. We count the USB driver
as used, but not the USB serial driver.  This may result
in Oops'es as demonstrated by Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com>:

Fix by only evaluating serial drivers pointing back to the
USB driver we are currently probing.  This still allows two
or more drivers to match the same device, running their
serial driver probes to sort out which one to use.

      USB: add NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b6128 · c2fb8a3f
      Alan Stern authored 
      This patch (as1558) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers.  Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.

After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state.  Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.

The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep.  Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.

A similar patch has already been applied as commit
151b6128 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers).  The patch supersedes that one and reverts
it.  There are two differences:

	The old patch added the flag at the USB level; this patch
	adds it at the PCI level.

	The old patch applied to all chipsets with the same vendor,
	subsystem vendor, and product IDs; this patch makes an
	exception for a known-good system (based on DMI information).

      dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata · cc8394d8
      Joe Thornber authored 
      This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb

     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

      dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init · 35991652
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

      dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg · f220fd4e
      Mike Christie authored 
      If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.

If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.

 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we

 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel

 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.

The main revert is d29f3ef3 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

  fde86d31 - tty: add lockdep annotations
  8f6576ad - tty: fix ldisc lock inversion trace
  d3ca8b64 - pty: Fix lock inversion
  b1d679af - tty: drop the pty lock during hangup

  fd11b42e - cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  d29f3ef3 - tty_lock: Localise the lock

The revert had a trivial conflict in the 68360serial.c staging driver
that got removed in the meantime.

      Merge 'for-linus' branches from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/{vfs,signal} · 233e562e
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro.

The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc
actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc
had an explicit override to "unsigned short".  Al didn't notice, and
made both of them be the unsigned short.

The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume()
code, and leaving an extra parenthesis.
