Quote from comment #17:
"The problem is the innocent looking moving of the tx processing to
 after the rx processing in the tasklet. Quoting from the changelog:
  This patch does it the same way, except that it also prioritize
  rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.

 This is causing an issue with us referencing already freed memory,
 because some skb's we transmit, we immediately receive back, such
 as those for reading the eeprom (*) and getting stats.

 What can happen because of the moving of the tx processing to after
 the rx processing is that when the tasklet first runs after doing a
 special skb tx (such as eeprom) we've already received the answer
 to it.

 Then the rx processing ends up calling p54_find_and_unlink_skb to
 find the matching tx skb for the just received special rx skb and
 frees the tx skb.

 Then after the processing of the rx skb answer, and thus freeing
 the tx skb, we go process the completed tx ring entires, and then
 dereference the free-ed skb, to see if it should free free-ed by
 p54p_check_tx_ring()."

93c0c8b4a5 ieee802154: Fix oops during ieee802154_sock_ioctl
Trying to run izlisten (from lowpan-tools tests) on a device that does not
exists I got the oops below. The problem is that we are using get_dev_by_name
without checking if we really get a device back. We don't in this case and
writing to dev->type generates this oops.

But the old code had a constant "1" and this resulted in spurious

tg3: Fix INTx fallback when MSI fails

MSI setup changes the value of irq_vec in struct tg3 *tp.
This attribute must be taken into account and restored before
we try to do a new request_irq for INTx fallback.

In powerpc, the original code was leading to an EINVAL return within
request_irq, because the driver was trying to use the disabled MSI

0c86980817 mac80211: Fix sta->last_tx_rate setting with no-op rate control devices
The sta->last_tx_rate is traditionally updated just before transmitting a
frame based on information from the rate control algorithm. However, for
hardware drivers with IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL this is not performed,
as the rate control algorithm is not executed, and because the used rate is
not known before the frame has actually been transmitted.

This causes atleast a fixed 1Mb/s to be reported to user space. A few other
instances of code also rely on this information.

Fix this by setting the sta->last_tx_rate in tx_status handling. There, look
for last rates entry set by the driver, and use that as value for
sta->last_tx_rate.

Our offset handling becomes even a little more hackish now. For some reason I

0x1000. Should be cleaner however.

d53cdbb94a ssb: do not read SPROM if it does not exist
Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause
hangs on some boxes.  At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that
don't have SPROMs at all.  When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts
to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box --
no console output, etc.

This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM
is present before attempting to read it.  This avoids those hard hangs
on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus.  The
SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box
will survive to test further patches. :-)

dd77ef924c xfs: more swap extent fixes for dynamic fork offsets
A new xfsqa test (226) with a prototype xfs_fsr change to try to
handle dynamic fork offsets better triggers an assertion failure
where the inode data fork is in btree format, yet there is room in
the inode for it to be in extent format. The two inodes look like:

before: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
before: ino 0x115 (temp),  num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56
after: ino 0x101 (target), num_extents 5, Max in-fork extents 6, broot size 40, fork offset 96
after: ino 0x115 (temp), num_extents 11, Max in-fork extents 3, broot size 40, fork offset 56

Basically the target inode ends up with 5 extents in btree format,
but it had space for 6 extents in extent format, so ends up
incorrect. Notably here the broot size is the same, and that is
where the kernel code is going wrong - the btree root will fit, so
it lets the swap go ahead.

The check should not allow the swap to take place if the number of
extents while in btree format is less than the number of extents
that can fit in the inode in extent format. Adding that check will
prevent this swap and corruption from occurring.

25239cee7e net: rtnetlink: decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families
Decouple rtnetlink address families from real address families in socket.h to
be able to add rtnetlink interfaces to code that is not a real address family
without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

This will be used to add support for multicast route dumping from all tables
as the proc interface can't be extended to support anything but the main table
without breaking compatibility.

This partialy undoes the patch to introduce independant families for routing
rules and converts ipmr routing rules to a new rtnetlink family. Similar to
that patch, values up to 127 are reserved for real address families, values
above that may be used arbitrarily.

df37bd156d initramfs: handle unrecognised decompressor when unpacking
The unpack routine fails to handle the decompress_method() returning
unrecognised decompressor (compress_name == NULL).  This results in the
routine looping eventually oopsing on an out of bounds memory access.

Note this bug is usually hidden, only triggering on trailing junk after
one or more correct compressed blocks.  The case of the compressed archive
being complete junk is (by accident?) caught by the if (state != Reset)
check because state is initialised to Start, but not updated due to the
decompressor not having been called.  Obviously if the junk is trailing a
correctly decompressed buffer, state == Reset from the previous call to
the decompressor.

453dc65931 VMware Balloon driver
This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver.  Ballooning is a
technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory
available to the guest (with guest cooperation).  In the overcommit
scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some
memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and
the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor.  Later hypervisor
may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and
instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.

We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity)
expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into
virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with
virtio.

There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the
right thing.  If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are
prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like
to get this driver upstream.

We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not
have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have
"upstream first" requirement.

The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on
VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it
will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional
risk in pulling the driver into mainline.  The driver will only activate
if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

b8af67e268 fs/block_dev.c: fix performance regression in O_DIRECT|O_SYNC writes to block devices
We are seeing a large regression in database performance on recent
kernels.  The database opens a block device with O_DIRECT|O_SYNC and a
number of threads write to different regions of the file at the same time.

A simple test case is below.  I haven't defined DEVICE since getting it
wrong will destroy your data :) On an 3 disk LVM with a 64k chunk size we
see about 17MB/sec and only a few threads in IO wait:

procs  -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------
 r  b     bi    bo   in   cs us sy id wa st
 0  3      0 16170  656 2259  0  0 86 14  0
 0  2      0 16704  695 2408  0  0 92  8  0
 0  2      0 17308  744 2653  0  0 86 14  0
 0  2      0 17933  759 2777  0  0 89 10  0

Most threads are blocking in vfs_fsync_range, which has:

        mutex_lock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);
        err = fop->fsync(file, dentry, datasync);
        if (!ret)
                ret = err;
        mutex_unlock(&mapping->host->i_mutex);

commit 148f948ba8 (vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode) offers
some explanation of what is going on:

    Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
    O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
    care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
    it before it returns.

Thanks Jan for such a good commit message!  As well as dropping i_mutex,
Christoph suggests we should remove the call to sync_blockdev():

> sync_blockdev is an overcomplicated alias for filemap_write_and_wait on
> the block device inode, which is exactly what we did just before calling
> into ->fsync

The patch below incorporates both suggestions. With it the testcase improves
from 17MB/s to 68M/sec:

procs  -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------
 r  b     bi    bo   in   cs us sy id wa st

31f2b0ebc0 rmap: anon_vma_prepare() can leak anon_vma_chain
If find_mergeable_anon_vma() succeeds but another thread installs
->anon_vma before we take ptl, then allocated == NULL but avc should be
freed.  Change the code to check avc != NULL to detect this case.

Also, a couple of whitespace changes to make the critical section more

ccdb40048b lib: fix the use of LZO to decompress initramfs images
This patch fixes 2 issues with the LZO decompressor:

- It doesn't handle the case where a block isn't compressed at all.  In
  this case, calling lzo1x_decompress_safe will fail, so we need to just
  use memcpy() instead (the upstream LZO code does something similar)

- Since commit 54291362d2 ("initramfs: add
  missing decompressor error check") , the decompressor return code is
  checked in the init/initramfs.c The LZO decompressor didn't return the
  expected value, causing the initramfs code to falsely believe a
  decompression error occured
