3c4cec6527 ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not possible
This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount
more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit
bbae8bcc49 if they configure a kernel to default
to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for
the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they
don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by
kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount
the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them
to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :).

6d41807614 ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED
The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not
completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a
default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered.  Despite the fact that old
description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of
the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy'
default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the
whole story.

This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3
developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs
of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

d34843d0c4 GFS2: Add "-o errors=panic|withdraw" mount options
This patch adds "-o errors=panic" and "-o errors=withdraw" to the
gfs2 mount options.  The "errors=withdraw" option is today's
current behaviour, meaning to withdraw from the file system if a
non-serious gfs2 error occurs.  The new "errors=panic" option
tells gfs2 to force a kernel panic if a non-serious gfs2 file
system error occurs.  This may be useful, for example, where
fabric-level fencing is used that has no way to reboot (such as
fence_scsi).

5eecfde615 NFS: Handle a zero-length auth flavor list
Some releases of Linux rpc.mountd (nfs-utils 1.1.4 and later) return an
empty auth flavor list if no sec= was specified for the export.  This is
notably broken server behavior.

The new auth flavor list checking added in a recent commit rejects this
case.  The OpenSolaris client does too.

The broken mountd implementation is already widely deployed.  To avoid
a behavioral regression, the kernel's mount client skips flavor checking
(ie reverts to the pre-2.6.32 behavior) if mountd returns an empty
flavor list.

4871953c0e drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API
callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel
instability.

The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from
getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

A functions set:
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()

B functions set:
local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore()
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()
spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()

6ff9c2e7fa E100: fix interaction with swiotlb on X86.
E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them
with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is
accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when
a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was
received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use
of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100
chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data
directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API
would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data
into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers.

This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API,
allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking
other architectures).

d8e180dcd5 bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting file
When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to
the account file.  In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting
processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log.

SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs.
So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because
someone enabled process accounting.

For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should
be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting,
because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting
information logged.

70bdbd3d1a ALSA: ali5451: fix timeout handling in snd_ali_{codecs,timer}_ready()
Modify loops in such way that the register value is checked also after
the timeout condition, just in case the heavy interrupt load etc. caused
the thread to sleep for the time period exceeding the timeout value.

While at it remove an extra ALI_STIMER read from snd_ali_stimer_ready().

637952ca68 [S390] set preferred console based on conmode
setup_arch() unconditionally sets the preferred console to ttyS.
This breaks the use of 3270 devices as the console. Provide a new
function to set the default preferred console for s390. The preferred
console depends on the conmode parameter that is used to switch
between 3270 and 3215 terminal/console mode.

cf05b824db [S390] drivers/s390: put NULL test before dereference
If the NULL test on block is needed, it should be before the dereference of
the base field.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
