335f8514f2 tty: Bring the usb tty port structure into more use
This allows us to clean stuff up, but is probably also going to cause
some app breakage with buggy apps as we now implement proper POSIX behaviour
for USB ports matching all the other ports. This does also mean other apps
that break on USB will now work properly.

1ec739be75 tty: Implement a drain delay in the tty port
We need this for devices that cannot flush and wait, but which do not order
data and modem events. Without it we will hang up before all the data
clears the hardware. Needed for the USB changes.

fcc8ac1825 tty: Add carrier processing on close to the tty_port core
Some drivers implement this internally, others miss it out. Push the
behaviour into the core code as that way everyone will do it consistently.

Update the dtr rts method to raise or lower depending upon flags. Having a
single method in this style fits most of the implementations more cleanly than
two funtions.

We need this in place before we tackle the USB side

b263c2c8bf Btrfs: fix extent_buffer leak during tree log replay
During tree log replay, we read in the tree log roots,
process them and then free them.  A recent change
takes an extra reference on the root node of the tree
when the root is read in, and stores that reference
in root->commit_root.

This reference was not being freed, leaving us with
one buffer pinned in ram for each subvol with
a tree log root after a crash.

729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

dc890c2dcd [ARM] 5544/1: Trust PrimeCell resource sizes
I found the PrimeCell/AMBA Bus drivers distrusting the resource
passed in as part of the struct amba_device abstraction. This
patch removes all hard coded resource sizes found in the PrimeCell
drivers and move the responsibility of this definition back to
the platform/board device definition, which already exist and
appear to be correct for all in-tree users of these drivers.
We do this using the resource_size() inline function which was
also replicated in the only driver using the resource size, so
that has been changed too. The KMI_SIZE was left in kmi.h in case
someone likes it. Test-compiled against Versatile and Integrator
defconfigs, seems to work but I don't posess these boards and
cannot test them.

5ef12d98a1 neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink request
The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from
the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply.
This also causes the transtion to FAILED state.

However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the
address is unavailable.  Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and
leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in
the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection.

This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if
INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.

b0fd271d5f block: add request clone interface (v2)
This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:

  - blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
		      struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
		      int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
		      void *data)
      * Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
        (bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
      * Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
        The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
        copied.

  - blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
      * Frees cloned bios from the clone request.

Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.

To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.

For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.

NOTE:
blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
request.  Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
request.

0bcfc5ef01 wimax/i2400m: use -EL3RST to indicate device reset instead of -ERESTARTSYS
When the i2400m device resets, the driver code will force some
functions to return a -ERESTARTSYS error code, which can is used by
the caller to determine which recovery actions to take.

However, in certain situations the only thing that can be done is to
bubble up said error code to user space, for handling.

However, -ERESTARSYS was a poor choice, as it is supposed to be used
by the kernel only.

As such, replace -ERESTARTSYS with -EL3RST; as well, in
i2400m_msg_to_dev(), when the device is in boot mode (following a
recent reset), return -EL3RST instead of -ENODEV (meaning the device
is in bootrom mode after a reset, not that the device was
disconnected, and thus, normal commands cannot be executed).

i2400m_dev_bootstrap()], __i2400m_dev_start() will retry a number of

The current SDIO code was working in polling mode for boot-mode
(firmware load) mode. This was causing issues on some hardware.

Moved all the RX code to use a unified IRQ handler that based on the
type of data the device is sending can discriminate and decide which
is the right destination.

As well, all the reads from the device are made to be at least the
block size (256); the driver will ignore the rest when not needed.

6e053d6c79 wimax/i2400m: don't reset device when bootrom init retries are exceeded
When i2400m_bootrom_init() fails to put the device into a state of
being ready to accept firmware, the driver was currently trying to
reset it if it failed to do so. This is not too useful; as part of
trying to put the device in the right state a few resets have already
been tried.

At this point, things are probably fried out and an extra reset might
do more harm than good (for example causing reseting of other
functions in the same composite device).

So it is left up to the callers to determine the error path to take
(at the end this is always i2400m_setup(), who depending on how many
retries are left, might give up on the device).

From a fix by Cindy H. Kao.

7308a0c239 wimax/i2400m: move boot time poke table out of common driver
This change moves the table of "pokes" performed on the device at boot
time to the bus specific portion of the driver.

Different models of the i2400m device supported by this driver require
different poke tables, thus having a single table that works for all
is impossible. For that, the table is moved to the bus-specific
driver, who can decide which table to use based on the specifics of
the device and point the generic driver to it.

ecddfd5ed7 wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count

The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.

To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

When the TX FIFO filled up and i2400m_tx_new() failed to allocate a
new TX message header, a missing check for said condition was causing a
kernel oops when trying to dereference a NULL i2400m->tx_msg pointer.

b4bd07e3b1 wimax/i2400m: don't reset device on i2400m_dev_shutdown()
i2400m_dev_shutdown() tried to reset the device to put it in a known
state before shutting down.

But that turned out to be pointless. We reach this case in two paths:

 1 - when the device resets, to clean up state
 2 - when the driver is unloaded, for the same

however, in both cases it is pointless; in (1) the device is already
reset, why do it again? in (2) we can't -- the USB stack, for example,
doesn't allow communicating with the device when the driver is being
unbound and if the device is disconnected, the device is gone already.

So just remove it. Leave the function as a placeholder for future
cleanups that will be done from data allocated by the driver during
device operation.

2971a5bac8 wimax/i2400m: fix panic due to missed corner cases on tail_room calculation
i2400m_tx_skip_tail() needs to handle the special case of being called
when the tail room that is left over in the FIFO is zero.

This happens when a TX message header was opened at the very end of
the FIFO (without payloads). The i2400m_tx_close() code already marked
said TX message (header) to be skipped and this function should be
doing nothing.

It is called anyway because it is part of a common "corner case" path
handling which takes care of more cases than only this one.

The tail room computation was also improved to take care of the case
when tx_in is at the end of the buffer boundary; tail_room has to be
modded (%) to the buffer size. To do that in a single well-documented
place, __i2400m_tx_tail_room() is introduced and used.

Treat i2400m->tx_in == 0 as a corner case and handle it accordingly.

c56affafdd wimax/i2400m: fix panic/warnings caused by missed check on empty TX message
In some situations, when a new TX message header is started, there
might be no space for data payloads. In this case the message is left
with zero payloads and the i2400m_tx_close() function has just to mark
it as "to skip". If it tries to go ahead it will overwrite things
because there is no space to add padding as defined by the
bus-specific layer. This can cause buffer overruns and in some stress
cases, panics.
