07a389feef spi: spi_device memory should be released instead of device.
The memory for dev variable is allocated as a part of
spi_device structure memory which the dev belongs to.
Thus when the memory is released the right pointer is used.

8ec130a017 spi: release device claimed by bus_find_device_by_name
In success case the function bus_find_device_by_name calls
get_device. In our context put_device should be called to

Smatch found a potential null dereference in gpio_setup_irq().  The

4b83c330b4 powerpc/numa: Add form 1 NUMA affinity
Firmware changed the way it represents memory and cpu affinity on POWER7.
Unfortunately the old method now caps the topology to work around issues
with legacy operating systems. For Linux to get the correct topology we
need to use the new form 1 affinity information.

We set the form 1 field in the client architecture, and if we see "1" in the
ibm,associativity-form property firmware supports form 1 affinity and
we should look at the first field in the ibm,associativity-reference-points
array. If not we use the second field as we always have.

83f6a740b4 bridge: multicast port group RCU fix
The recently introduced bridge mulitcast port group list was only
partially using RCU correctly. It was missing rcu_dereference()

eb4fd8cd35 net/usb: add sierra_net.c driver
Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().

The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).

This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.

This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.

Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

This patch is an alternative to similar patch provided by Joe Perches.

Substitute DPRINTK macro for e_<level> that uses netdev_<level> and dev_<level>
similar to e1000e.
- Convert printk to pr_<level> where applicable.
- Use common #define pr_fmt for the driver.
- Use dev_<level> for displaying text in parts of the driver where the interface
  name is not assigned (like e1000_param.c).
- Better align test with the new macros.

03449cd9ea keys: the request_key() syscall should link an existing key to the dest keyring
The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.

This can be tested by:

	ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
	keyctl request2 user debug:a a
	keyctl request user debug:a $ring
	keyctl list $ring

If it says:

	keyring is empty

then it didn't work.  If it shows something like:

	1 key in keyring:
	1070462727: --alswrv     0     0 user: debug:a

then it did.

request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.

If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.

Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.

If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

a2cb9aeb3c gpio: fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug
Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002

He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()).  As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.

This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

ba8b06e67e NFS: Ensure that nfs_wb_page() waits for Pg_writeback to clear
Neil Brown reports that he is seeing the BUG_ON(ret == 0) trigger in
nfs_page_async_flush. According to the trace in
     https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599628
the problem appears to be due to nfs_wb_page() not waiting for the
PG_writeback flag to clear.

There is a ditto problem in nfs_wb_page_cancel()

c377411f24 net: sk_add_backlog() take rmem_alloc into account
Current socket backlog limit is not enough to really stop DDOS attacks,
because user thread spend many time to process a full backlog each
round, and user might crazy spin on socket lock.

We should add backlog size and receive_queue size (aka rmem_alloc) to
pace writers, and let user run without being slow down too much.

Introduce a sk_rcvqueues_full() helper, to avoid taking socket lock in
stress situations.

Under huge stress from a multiqueue/RPS enabled NIC, a single flow udp
receiver can now process ~200.000 pps (instead of ~100 pps before the
patch) on a 8 core machine.

6e7676c1a7 net: batch skb dequeueing from softnet input_pkt_queue
batch skb dequeueing from softnet input_pkt_queue to reduce potential lock
contention when RPS is enabled.

Note: in the worst case, the number of packets in a softnet_data may
be double of netdev_max_backlog.

c58dc01bab net: Make RFS socket operations not be inet specific.
Idea from Eric Dumazet.

As for placement inside of struct sock, I tried to choose a place
that otherwise has a 32-bit hole on 64-bit systems.
