96c1674397 ide-cd: fix REQ_QUIET tests in cdrom_decode_status
Original patch (dfa4411cc3) was buggy.
This is a more proper fix which introduces blk_rq_quiet() macro
alleviating the need for dumb, too short caching variables.

Thanks to Helge Deller and Bart for debugging this.

20418acd68 [CIFS] Remove older session setup implementation
Two years ago, when the session setup code in cifs was rewritten and moved
to fs/cifs/sess.c, we were asked to keep the old code for a release or so
(which could be reenabled at runtime) since it was such a large change and
because the asn (SPNEGO) and NTLMSSP code was not rewritten and needed to
be. This was useful to avoid regressions, but is long overdue to be removed.
Now that the Kerberos (asn/spnego) code is working in fs/cifs/sess.c,
and the NTLMSSP code moved (NTLMSSP blob setup be rewritten with the
next patch in this series) quite a bit of dead code from fs/cifs/connect.c
now can be removed.

This old code should have been removed last year, but the earlier krb5
patches did not move/remove the NTLMSSP code which we had asked to
be done first.  Since no one else volunteered, I am doing it now.

It is extremely important that we continue to examine the documentation
for this area, to make sure our code continues to be uptodate with
changes since Windows 2003.

My patch incorrectly assumed skb->sk was always valid, but for
"frag_listed" skbs we can only use skb->sk of their parent.

2f65dd475c x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:

       If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
       set or returned.

Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7).  A simple reproducer:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <sys/time.h>

  int main(void)
  {
      struct timezone tz;

      gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);

      return 0;
  }

See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

28e211700a xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock
xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap
structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap.  This has
been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also
shown up via lockdep.

So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures
into and then copy them out after dropping the locks.

A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we
can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way
around that.

def6b3ba56 xfs_file_last_byte() needs to acquire ilock

[<a000000100163160>] fput+0x40/0x60

The problem here is that xfs_file_last_byte() does not acquire the
inode lock and can therefore race with another thread that is modifying
the extext list.  While xfs_bmap_last_offset() is trying to lookup
what was the last extent some extents were merged and the extent list
shrunk so the index we lookup is now beyond the end of the extent list
and potentially in a freed buffer.

93af7aca44 mv643xx_eth: 64bit mib counter read fix
On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value.  This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.

Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

1319ebadf1 mv643xx_eth: OOM handling fixes
Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.

This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill.  This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.

While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

ce105a0823 pcnet32: Remove pointless memory barriers
These two memory barriers in performance-critical paths are not needed
on x86.  Even if some other architecture does buffer PCI I/O space
writes, the existing memory-mapped I/O barriers are unlikely to be what
is needed.

ec6995ddaa RDMA/cxgb3: Don't complete flushed send work requests twice
When the SQ is flushed, mark the flushed entries as not signaled so
the poll logic doesn't re-insert the CQ entry thinking its an out of
order completion.

The bug can cause the NFS/RDMA server to crash due to processing the
same completed work request twice.

c428c89201 mac80211: default to automatic power control
In "mac80211: correct wext transmit power handler"
I fixed the wext handler, but forgot to make the default of the
user_power_level -1 (aka "auto"), so that now the transmit power
is always set to 0, causing associations to time out and similar
problems since we're transmitting with very little power. Correct
this by correcting the default user_power_level to -1.

d4c4a9a1bc mac80211: fix modprobe deadlock by not calling wep_init under rtnl_lock
- ieee80211_wep_init(), which is called with rtnl_lock held, blocks in
   request_module() [waiting for modprobe to load a crypto module].

 - modprobe blocks in a call to flush_workqueue(), when it closes a TTY
   [presumably when it exits].

 - The workqueue item linkwatch_event() blocks on rtnl_lock.

There's no reason for wep_init() to be called with rtnl_lock held, so
just move it outside the critical section.

fe78a49c8a V4L/DVB (11652): au0828: fix kernel oops regression on USB disconnect.
A regression was introduced in hg changeset 33810c734a0d, which resulted in
a kernel panic whenever the device was disconnected from USB.  The call to
4l2_device_register() was overwriting the pointer for usb_set_intfdata(), so
when au0828_usb_disconnect() was called, the usb_get_intfdata() returned a
pointer to the v4l2_device instead of the au0828_dev structure.
