42651f1582 x86: fix trimming e820 with MTRR holes.
converting MTRR layout from continous to discrete, some time could run out of
MTRRs. So add gran_sizek to prevent that by dumpping small RAM piece less than
gran_sizek.

previous trimming only can handle highest_pfn from mtrr to end_pfn from e820.
when have more than 4g RAM installed, there will be holes below 4g. so need to
check ram below 4g is coverred well.

need to be applied after

95ffa2438d x86: mtrr cleanup for converting continuous to discrete layout, v8
some BIOS like to use continus MTRR layout, and X driver can not add
WB entries for graphical cards when 4g or more RAM installed.

the patch will change MTRR to discrete.

mtrr_chunk_size= could be used to have smaller continuous block to hold holes.
default is 256m, could be set according to size of graphics card memory.

mtrr_gran_size= could be used to send smallest mtrr block to avoid run out of MTRRs

v2: fix -1 for UC checking
v3: default to disable, and need use enable_mtrr_cleanup to enable this feature
    skip the var state change warning.
    remove next_basek in range_to_mtrr()
v4: correct warning mask.
v5: CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER
v6: fix 1g, 2g, 512 aligment with extra hole
v7: gran_sizek to prevent running out of MTRRs.
v8: fix hole_basek caculation caused when removing next_basek
    gran_sizek using when basek is 0.

need to apply

0dbfafa5fc x86: move i386 memory setup code to e820_32.c
The x86_64 code has centralized the memory setup code in
e820_64.c. This patch copies that approach to i386:

- early_param("mem", ...) parsing is moved from
setup_32.c to e820_32.c.

- setup_memory_map() and finish_e820_parsing() are
factored out from setup_arch(), and declarations
are added to e820_32.h.

- print_memory_map() is made static and removed from
e820_32.h.

- user_defined_memmap is marked as __initdata.

5132861a7a disable most mode changes on non-unix/non-cifsacl mounts
CIFS currently allows you to change the mode of an inode on a share that
doesn't have unix extensions enabled, and isn't using cifsacl. The inode
in this case *only* has its mode changed in memory on the client. This
is problematic since it can change any time the inode is purged from the
cache.

This patch makes cifs_setattr silently ignore most mode changes when
unix extensions and cifsacl support are not enabled, and when the share
is not mounted with the "dynperm" option. The exceptions are:

When a mode change would remove all write access to an inode we turn on
the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server and remove all write bits from the
inode's mode in memory.

When a mode change would add a write bit to an inode that previously had
them all turned off, it turns off the ATTR_READONLY bit on the server,
and resets the mode back to what it would normally be (generally, the
file_mode or dir_mode of the share).

25d5cb4b03 spi: remove some spidev oops-on-rmmod paths
Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the
underlying device is removed (e.g.  spi_master rmmod), open file
descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that
device.  On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior
<bigeasy@tglx.de> ...

This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI
messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev.  (It also fixes an
issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or
received.)

There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).

5c02b57578 cgroups: remove node_ prefix_from ns subsystem
This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api.

The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently
only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named
"node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.)

The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy
cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared -
something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more
complete container/namespace support in order to be useful.  I suspect the
only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on
containers@lists.linux-foundation.org.  And in fact it would only be
noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is
generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for
the process in question.

Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I
guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather
than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.
