29b1432816 Revert "sparc: correct section of current_pc()"
This reverts commit 8dd9453737.

This fixes a boot failure reported by Robert Reif.

The code above the section change expects to fallthrough, so
we can't make such a section change here.

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.

43e61711d4 Don't ask twice about not including staging drivers
The "Exclude staging drivers" question is there so that we don't build
staging drivers for allyesconfig or allnoconfig settings, but it's very
irritating when you've already said "no" to staging drivers earlier.

There is absolutely no point in declining twice - once you've declined
the staging drivers, you're done.

So make the second question depend on the first question having been
answered in the affirmative.

b726e923ea Fix nfsd truncation of readdir results
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.

Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.

It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read.  Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset.  That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir.  After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.

So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0.  The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.

Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

6209344f5a net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC.  This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.

This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called.  This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.

Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves.  Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

058e3739f6 clarify usage expectations for cnt32_to_63()
Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already.  It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order.  On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

3ae7e2e229 ALSA: hdsp: check for iobox and upload firmware during ioctl
currently, the error message when trying to run hdspmixer or hdspconf
if the breakout box is not connected is somehow misleading, since it
asks the user to upload the firmware.

this patch adds a test, whether the breakout box is connected and
tries to upload the firmware in the case, that it is not present, e.g.
because of power failures of the breakout box.

c5d712433f Fix __pfn_to_page(pfn) for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its
argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may
be a result of a funtion call having side effects.

For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the
result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call.  This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

52c642f33b sched: fine-tune SD_SIBLING_INIT
fine-tune the HT sched-domains parameters as well.

On a HT capable box, this increases lat_ctx performance from 23.87
usecs to 1.49 usecs:

 # before

 $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2

   "size=0k ovr=1.89
    2 23.87

 # after

 $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2

   "size=0k ovr=1.84
     2 1.49

1480098470 sched: fine-tune SD_MC_INIT
Tune SD_MC_INIT the same way as SD_CPU_INIT:
unset SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE, and set SD_WAKE_BALANCE.

This improves vmark by 5%:

23712a9c28 ext4: add checksum calculation when clearing UNINIT flag in ext4_new_inode
When initializing an uninitialized block group in ext4_new_inode(),
its block group checksum must be re-calculated.  This fixes a race
when several threads try to allocate a new inode in an UNINIT'd group.

There is some question whether we need to be initializing the block
bitmap in ext4_new_inode() at all, but for now, if we are going to
init the block group, let's eliminate the race.

ed9b3e3379 ext4: Mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate after prepare_write
We need to make sure we mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate
so that block_write_full_page write them correctly.

This fixes mmap corruptions that can occur in low memory situations.
