c7aa8f44b4 USB: option: fix incorrect novatel entries
Unfortunately some of the hardware PID belonging to auto-install CDROM
(AICD) of Novatel modems found their way into the option module. This
causes the AICD to be treated as a modem in stead of a disk. Since the
modem ports do not appear until after the AICD is ejected, this
essentially disables the modem. After a couple of minutes the AICD
should auto-eject, but it is just too long a wait. The frequency of the
failure seems to depend on both the hardware and the linux distribution.

Here is a patch that fixes this up, and also adds a couple of new PID,
offering some explanations and removing some incomplete and unnecessary
comments.

793f03aa7b USB: rndis: section mismatch fix
This patch removes the following section mismatch warning,
by moving the function rndis_init() from .init.text to .text.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1aeca5a): Section mismatch in reference from the function rndis_bind_config() to the function .init.text:rndis_init()
The function rndis_bind_config() references
the function __init rndis_init().
This is often because rndis_bind_config lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of rndis_init is wrong.

08a3b3b1c2 USB: ehci-ppc-of: problems in unwind
The iounmap(ehci->ohci_hcctrl_reg); should be the first thing we do
because the ioremap() was the last thing we did.  Also if we hit any of
the goto statements in the original code then it would have led to a
NULL dereference of "ehci".  This bug was introduced in: 796bcae736

6eb68d6f3b tty: fix tty_line must not be equal to number of allocated tty pointers in tty driver
I found a bug "by chance" in drivers/char/tty_io.c

I mean "by chance" because I was just reading the code of the
tty_find_polling_driver() to make a new tty_find_by_name() function.

In tty_find_polling_driver() the driver actually test "tty_line <=
p->num" while num refers to the number of struct tty_struct pointers
allocated for the p->ttys (p is a tty_driver), and tty_line is scanned
in a tty name, which can be for example ttyS2. Then tty_line equals 2.
And if p->num is 2, we have only p->ttys[0] and p->ttys[1], but no
p->ttys[2].

This is actually unharmful, for tty_find_polling_driver() is used only
in drivers/serial/kgdboc.c, and there's a test over there to find a
console with a matching index, which will never happen.

This is still a bug anyway.

9fc2b2d0cf vt: Fix console corruption on driver hand-over.
After 02f0777a0d "vc_origin" is no
longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook
of the new console driver.

If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case
of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its
contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit()
on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the
subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage.

It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau
framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin"
points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init().

This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it
intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to
calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks
simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").

65e9b62d45 ipv6: add special mode accept_ra=2 to accept RA while configured as router
The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.

Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.

An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

9af2546508 xfs: Make fiemap work with sparse files
In xfs_vn_fiemap, we set bvm_count to fi_extent_max + 1 and want
to return fi_extent_max extents, but actually it won't work for
a sparse file. The reason is that in xfs_getbmap we will
calculate holes and set it in 'out', while out is malloced by
bmv_count(fi_extent_max+1) which didn't consider holes. So in the
worst case, if 'out' vector looks like
[hole, extent, hole, extent, hole, ... hole, extent, hole],
we will only return half of fi_extent_max extents.

This patch add a new parameter BMV_IF_NO_HOLES for bvm_iflags.
So with this flags, we don't use our 'out' in xfs_getbmap for
a hole. The solution is a bit ugly by just don't increasing
index of 'out' vector. I felt that it is not easy to skip it
at the very beginning since we have the complicated check and
some function like xfs_getbmapx_fix_eof_hole to adjust 'out'.

kernel structures holding project quota id are 32bit while parts
(on-disk) are 16bit variables which causes project quota member
files to be inaccessible for some operations (like mv/rm).

9bc08a45fb xfs: improve buffer cache hash scalability
When doing large parallel file creates on a 16p machines, large amounts of
time is being spent in _xfs_buf_find(). A system wide profile with perf top
shows this:

          1134740.00 19.3% _xfs_buf_find
           733142.00 12.5% __ticket_spin_lock

The problem is that the hash contains 45,000 buffers, and the hash table width
is only 256 buffers. That means we've got around 200 buffers per chain, and
searching it is quite expensive. The hash table size needs to increase.

Secondly, every time we do a lookup, we promote the buffer we find to the head
of the hash chain. This is causing cachelines to be dirtied and causes
invalidation of cachelines across all CPUs that may have walked the hash chain
recently. hence every walk of the hash chain is effectively a cold cache walk.
Remove the promotion to avoid this invalidation.

The results are:

          1045043.00 21.2% __ticket_spin_lock
           326184.00  6.6% _xfs_buf_find

A 70% drop in the CPU usage when looking up buffers. Unfortunately that does
not result in an increase in performance underthis workload as contention on
the inode_lock soaks up most of the reduction in CPU usage.

3d3be4333f gro: fix different skb headrooms
Packets entering GRO might have different headrooms, even for a given
flow (because of implementation details in drivers, like copybreak).
We cant force drivers to deliver packets with a fixed headroom.

1) fix skb_segment()

skb_segment() makes the false assumption headrooms of fragments are same
than the head. When CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used, this can give csum_start
errors, and crash later in skb_copy_and_csum_dev()

2) allocate a minimal skb for head of frag_list

skb_gro_receive() uses netdev_alloc_skb(headroom + skb_gro_offset(p)) to
allocate a fresh skb. This adds NET_SKB_PAD to a padding already
provided by netdevice, depending on various things, like copybreak.

Use alloc_skb() to allocate an exact padding, to reduce cache line
needs:
NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN
