14ee6742b1 dsa: fix skb->pkt_type when mac address of slave interface differs
When a dsa slave interface has a mac address that differs from that
of the master interface, eth_type_trans() won't explicitly set
skb->pkt_type back to PACKET_HOST -- we need to do this ourselves
before calling eth_type_trans().

5cd33db212 net: fix setting of skb->tail in skb_recycle_check()
Since skb_reset_tail_pointer() reads skb->data, we need to set
skb->data before calling skb_reset_tail_pointer().  This was causing
spurious skb_over_panic()s from skb_put() being called on a recycled
skb that had its skb->tail set to beyond where it should have been.

4143c5cb36 ring-buffer: prevent infinite looping on time stamping
Impact: removal of unnecessary looping

The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code
from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it
detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again.

The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace.
The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between
this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time,
and cause an infinite loop.

Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will
produce a warning and disable the ring buffer.

The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform
some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself).

Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry.
If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before
the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will
be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the
interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so
one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is
still preserved in the buffer.

With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt
made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply
make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or
tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop.

bf5e6519b8 ftrace: disable tracing on resize
Impact: fix for bug on resize

This patch addresses the bug found here:

 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996

When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of
the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally. If tracing
is performed while the resize occurs, then the buffer can be corrupted.

This patch disables all ftrace buffer modifications before a resize
takes place.

commit fb02fbc14d (NOHZ: restart tick

While the patch is correct it does not take into account that spurious

Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups

The tick idle check which is called from irq_enter() was run before
the call to __irq_enter() which did not set the in_interrupt() bits in
preempt_count. That way the raise of a softirq woke up softirqd for
nothing as the softirq was handled on return from interrupt.

Call __irq_enter() before calling into the tick idle check code.

I asked some people for help and I was told that it wasn't really

reason, make CONFIG_NUMA depend on BROKEN instead of EXPERIMENTAL on

ec5d7657f7 powerpc: Repair device bindings documentation
Commit d0fc2eaaf4 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor

booting-without-of.txt into separate files.  Having them all in one file
was a frequent source of merge conflicts.

However, in the next merge, 49997d7515, there
was another conflict.  Some of the bindings removed from
booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in
dts-bindings were kept as well.

This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board
FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

80bcaf3469 ocfs2/xattr: Proper hash collision handle in bucket division
In ocfs2/xattr, we must make sure the xattrs which have the same hash value
exist in the same bucket so that the search schema can work. But in the old
implementation, when we want to extend a bucket, we just move half number of
xattrs to the new bucket. This works in most cases, but if we are lucky
enough we will move 2 xattrs into 2 different buckets. This means that an
xattr from the previous bucket cannot be found anymore. This patch fix this
problem by finding the right position during extending the bucket and extend
an empty bucket if needed.

In ocfs2_page_mkwrite, we return -EINVAL when we found the page mapping

exit. The reason is that during race writeable mmap, we will do
unmap_mapping_range in ocfs2_data_downconvert_worker. The good thing is
that if we reuturn 0 in page_mkwrite, VFS will retry fault and then
call page_mkwrite again, so it is safe to return 0 here.

89d77a1eb6 x86: HPET: read from HPET_Tn_CMP() not HPET_T0_CMP
In hpet_next_event() we check that the value we just wrote to
HPET_Tn_CMP(timer) has reached the chip. Currently, we're checking that
the value we wrote to HPET_Tn_CMP(timer) is in HPET_T0_CMP, which, if
timer is anything other than timer 0, is likely to fail.

1de5b08546 x86: HPET: convert WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE
It is possible to flood the console with call traces if the WARN_ON
condition is true because of the frequency with which this function is
called.

8a8bc22332 libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.

 43a49cbdf3
 e013e13bf6
 2fca5ccf97

Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.

The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands.  Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made.  I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.

So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.
