a9fde26078 [VLAN]: Tag vlan_group_device with net device, not ifindex.
Currently vlan group is searched using one key - the ifindex.
We'll have to lookup the vlan_group by two keys - ifindex and
net. Turning the vlan_group lookup key to struct net_device
pointer will make this process easier.

Besides, this will eliminate one more place in the networking,
that assumes that indexes are unique in the kernel.

335e92e8a5 vfs: fix possible deadlock in ext2, ext3, ext4 when using xattrs
mb_cache_entry_alloc() was allocating cache entries with GFP_KERNEL.  But
filesystems are calling this function while holding xattr_sem so possible
recursion into the fs violates locking ordering of xattr_sem and transaction
start / i_mutex for ext2-4.  Change mb_cache_entry_alloc() so that filesystems
can specify desired gfp mask and use GFP_NOFS from all of them.

4ac58469f1 ssb: Fix usage of struct device used for DMAing
This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64.
We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA
operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new
struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always
point to the right device for DMAing.

Without this patch b43 and b44 drivers won't work on complex-DMA
architectures, that for example need dev->archdata for DMA operations.

c50f68c8ae [LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified
NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails.

The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the
allocator.  It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer
'this_nid'.

It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start',
and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory
assosciated with 'nid' ends.

This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just
about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might
not be working yet.

This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also
it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted
"careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c

If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers,
it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

0f389ec630 slub: No need for per node slab counters if !SLUB_DEBUG
The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API.
If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this
data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs
if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a
potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance
benefit to embedded systems.

SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which
is on by default).

Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab()
if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

dd13b01036 [NETFILTER]: nf_nat: kill helper and seq_adjust hooks
Connection tracking helpers (specifically FTP) need to be called
before NAT sequence numbers adjustments are performed to be able
to compare them against previously seen ones. We've introduced
two new hooks around 2.6.11 to maintain this ordering when NAT
modules were changed to get called from conntrack helpers directly.

The cost of netfilter hooks is quite high and sequence number
adjustments are only rarely needed however. Add a RCU-protected
sequence number adjustment function pointer and call it from
IPv4 conntrack after calling the helper.

666953df35 [NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER/MANGLE/RAW tables for real
Commit 9335f047fe aka
"[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW"
added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but
ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback,
per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions.

netns is taken in case of
	PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device,
	POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device,
	FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns.
		   This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged.

Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users
(overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar
changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

544451a1a3 pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocol
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit.  We currently use an unsigned
char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol.  This patch changes that to
an unsigned int.

Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in
isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS
interfaces use a one-byte device node number.

But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have.  Large HP
Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char
number" to wrap around.  This causes errors like this:

This patch increases the limit to fix this PNPACPI problem.  It should not
have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still
enforced in the backends.

d10d89ec78 Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macro
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully
be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the
low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big
honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros.

I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding
to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his
prettier syntax that uses vararg macros).  Thus the previous two commits
that actually implement it.

54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

4738c1db15 [SKFILTER]: Add SKF_ADF_NLATTR instruction
SKF_ADF_NLATTR searches for a netlink attribute, which avoids manually
parsing and walking attributes. It takes the offset at which to start
searching in the 'A' register and the attribute type in the 'X' register
and returns the offset in the 'A' register. When the attribute is not
found it returns zero.

A top-level attribute can be located using a filter like this
(example for nfnetlink, using struct nfgenmsg):

	...
	{
		/* A = offset of first attribute */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg)
	},
	{
		/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO */
		.code	= BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= CTA_PROTOINFO,
	},
	{
		/* A = netlink attribute offset */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
		.k	= SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
	},
	{
		/* Exit if not found */
		.code   = BPF_JMP | BPF_JEQ | BPF_K,
		.k	= 0,
		.jt	= <error>
	},
	...

A nested attribute below the CTA_PROTOINFO attribute would then
be parsed like this:

	...
	{
		/* A += sizeof(struct nlattr) */
		.code	= BPF_ALU | BPF_ADD | BPF_K,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlattr),
	},
	{
		/* X = CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP */
		.code	= BPF_LDX | BPF_IMM,
		.k	= CTA_PROTOINFO_TCP,
	},
	{
		/* A = netlink attribute offset */
		.code	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_ABS,
		.k	= SKF_AD_OFF + SKF_AD_NLATTR
	},
	...

The data of an attribute can be loaded into 'A' like this:

	...
	{
		/* X = A (attribute offset) */
		.code	= BPF_MISC | BPF_TAX,
	},
	{
		/* A = skb->data[X + k] */
		.code 	= BPF_LD | BPF_B | BPF_IND,
		.k	= sizeof(struct nlattr),
	},
	...

d625a29ba6 ssb: Add support for block-I/O
This adds support for block based I/O to SSB.
This is needed in order to efficiently support PIO data
transfers to the card.
The block-I/O support is only compiled, if it's selected by the
weird driver that needs it. So there's no overhead for sane devices.
