513a2396d8 iwmc3200wifi: fix NULL pointer dereference in iwm_if_free
The driver private data is now based on wiphy. So we should not
touch the private data after wiphy_free() is called. The patch
fixes the potential NULL pointer dereference by making the
iwm_wdev_free() the last one on the interface removal path.

591d2fb02e genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread
irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
nicely.

Add kerneldoc to irq_set_thread_affinity() while at it.

f1015c4477 jbd: fix race between write_metadata_buffer and get_write_access
The function journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in)
too early; this could potentially allow another thread to call get_write_access
on the buffer head, modify the data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data
to be written into the journal.  Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only
time this will actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system
crash or other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take
place.

155b735295 x86: Fix movq immediate operand constraints in uaccess_64.h
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h uses wrong asm operand constraint
("ir") for movq insn. Since movq sign-extends its immediate operand,
"er" constraint should be used instead.

Attached patch changes all uses of __put_user_asm in uaccess_64.h to use
"er" when "q" insn suffix is involved.

Patch was compile tested on x86_64 with defconfig.

254702568d specialix.c: convert nested spin_lock_irqsave to spin_lock
If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second
argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites
the value saved by the first call.  Indeed, the second call does not
need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple
spin_lock.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

netxen: fix deadlock on dev close

The tx ring accounting fix in commit cb2107be43
("netxen: fix tx ring accounting") introduced intermittent
deadlock when inteface is going down.

This was possibly combined effect of speculative tx pause,
calling netif_tx_lock instead of queue lock and unclean
synchronization with napi which could end up unmasking
interrupt.

02a6a2592e RDS/IB: Handle connections using RDS 3.0 wire protocol
The big differences between RDS 3.0 and 3.1 are protocol-level
flow control, and with 3.1 the header is in front of the data. The header
always ends up in the header buffer, and the data goes in the data page.

In 3.0 our "header" is a trailer, and will end up either in the data
page, the header buffer, or split across the two. Since 3.1 is backwards-
compatible with 3.0, we need to continue to support these cases. This
patch does that -- if using RDS 3.0 wire protocol, it will copy the header
from wherever it ended up into the header buffer.

b902e57352 ipv4: fib_trie: Use tnode_get_child_rcu() and node_parent_rcu() in lookups
While looking for other fib_trie problems reported by Pawel Staszewski
I noticed there are a few uses of tnode_get_child() and node_parent()
in lookups instead of their rcu versions.

be916cdebe ipv4: Fix inflate_threshold_root automatically
During large updates there could be triggered warnings like: "Fix
inflate_threshold_root. Now=25 size=11 bits" if inflate() of the root
node isn't finished in 10 loops. It should be much rarer now, after
changing the threshold from 15 to 25, and a temporary problem, so
this patch tries to handle it automatically using a fix variable to
increase by one inflate threshold for next root resizes (up to the 35
limit, max fix = 10). The fix variable is decreased when root's
inflate() finishes below 7 loops (even if some other, smaller table/
trie is updated -- for simplicity the fix variable is global for now).
