Fix merge between commit 3adadc08cc1e ("net ax25: Reorder ax25_exit to
remove races") and commit 0ca7a4c87d27 ("net ax25: Simplify and
cleanup the ax25 sysctl handling")
The former moved around the sysctl register/unregister calls, the
later simply removed them.
With help from Stephen Rothwell.

Name them in a "backward compatible" manner, i.e. reuse or not
are still 1 and 0 respectively. The reuse value of 2 means that
the socket with it will forcibly reuse everyone else's port.

Commit 18a4d0a22ed6 ("[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process
medium access commands") introduced a bug in which we would attempt to
dereference the scsi driver even when the device had no ULD attached.
Ensure that a driver is registered and make the driver accessor function
more resilient to errors during device discovery.

Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
"The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
merge things.
I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back
and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.
Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().
This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

The ipr driver added some memory barriers in order to ensure
a PowerPC sync instruction was executed prior to sending a
command to the adapter to ensure the command block was
coherent with respect to the PCI bus's view of memory.
However, some time ago, the powerpc architecture writel
macros were changed to include the sync since most drivers
don't properly handle this. So remove these memory barriers
since they are not needed and result in executing twice
as many sync instructions, which has a significant performance
penalty.

For the latest ipr SAS adapters, target id's are a completely
logical construct that are managed in the ipr driver. This fixes
an issue that can arise if a device is deleted via sysfs. If
a new device is then physically added, it will use the previous
device's target id. If the host is then rescanned, the device
that had been deleted, since it is using the same target id as
the new device is using, will never be found, resulting in
a missing device. Fix this by only freeing the target id
only if the resource is actually gone.

The rtnl_lock is primarily used to serialize networking
driver changes as well as to ensure that a networking driver
is not removed when making changes to it. fcoe also uses
the rtnl_lock to protect the fcoe hostlist.
fcoe_create holds the rtnl_lock over the entirity of the
routine including a the call to fcoe_ctlr_link_up.
This causes the below deadlock because fcoe_ctlr_link_up
acquires the fcoe_ctlr ctlr_mutex and this deadlocks with
a libfcoe thread that acquires the fcoe_ctlr ctlr_mutex and
then the rtnl_lock (to update a MAC address).
This patch drops the rtnl_lock before calling
fcoe_ctlr_link_up and therefore the deadlock is prevented.

There is potentially lots of contention for the rx_list_lock. On a cpu that is
receiving lots of fcoe traffic, the softirq context has to add and release the
lock for every frame it receives, as does the receiving per-cpu thread. We can
reduce this contention somewhat by altering the per-cpu threads loop such that
when traffic is detected on the fcoe_rx_list, we splice it to a temporary list.
In this way, we can process multiple skbs while only having to acquire and
release the fcoe_rx_list lock once.

Some switch implementations (eg., HP virtual connect FlexFabric) send two MAC
descriptors in FIP FLOGI response, with first MAC descriptor (granted_mac) used
as FPMA, and the second one (fcoe_mac) used as destination address for
sending/receiving FCoE packets. fip_mac continues to be used for FIP traffic.
This patch introduces fcoe_mac in fcoe_fcf structure. For regular switches,
both fcoe_mac and fip_mac will be the same. For the switches that send
additional MAC descriptor, fcoe_mac is updated.

commit 859b7b649ab58ee5cbfb761491317d5b315c1b0f introduced the ability to call
fcoe_recv_frame in softirq context. While this is beneficial to performance,
its not safe to do, as it breaks the serialization of access to the lport
structure (i.e. when an fcoe interface is being torn down, theres no way to
serialize the teardown effort with the completion of receieve operations
occuring in softirq context. As a result, lport (and other) data structures can
be read and modified in parallel leading to corruption. Most notable is the
vport list, which is protected by a mutex, that will cause a panic if a softirq
receive while said mutex is locked. Additionaly, the ema_list, discussed here:
http://lists.open-fcoe.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/011947.html
Can be corrupted if a list traversal occurs in softirq context at the same time
as a list delete in process context. And generally the lport state variables
will not be stable, and may lead to unpredictable results.
The most direct fix is to remove the bits from the above commit that allowed
fcoe_recv_frame to be called in softirq context. We just force all frames to be
handled by the per-cpu rx threads. This will allow the fcoe_if_destroy's use of
fcoe_percpu_clean to function properly, ensuring that no frames are being
received while the lport is being torn down.

Pull ARM platform updates from Russell King:
"This covers platform stuff for platforms I have a direct interest in
(iow, I have the hardware). Essentially:
- as we no longer support any other Acorn platforms other than RiscPC
anymore, we can collect all that code into mach-rpc.
- convert Acorn expansion card stuff to use IRQ allocation functions,
and get rid of NO_IRQ from there.
- cleanups to the ebsa110 platform to move some private stuff out of
its header files.
- large amount of SA11x0 updates:
- conversion of private DMA implementation to DMA engine support
(this actually gives us greater flexibility in drivers over the old
API.)
- re-worked ucb1x00 updates - convert to genirq, remove sa11x0
dependencies, fix various minor issues
- move platform specific sa11x0 framebuffer data into platform files
in arch/arm instead of keeping this in the driver itself
- update sa11x0 IrDA driver for DMA engine, and allow it to use DMA
for SIR transmissions as well as FIR
- rework sa1111 support for genirq, and irq allocation
- fix sa1111 IRQ support so it works again
- use sparse IRQ support
After this, I have one more pull request remaining from my current
set, which I think is going to be the most problematical as it
generates 8 conflicts."
Fixed up the trivial conflict in arch/arm/mach-rpc/Makefile as per
Russell.

This makes vio_register_driver() get the module owner & name at compile
time like PCI drivers do, and adds a name pointer directly in struct
vio_driver to avoid having to explicitly initialize the embedded
struct device.

Add LBPRZ support to scsi_debug; i.e. read zeros for
unmapped blocks.
Rather than checking for unmapped blocks at
read time, this just zeroes them on the backing store
at unmap time so it behaves the same way.
This also adds a module parameter to disable it.
lbprz, "unmapped blocks return 0 on read (def=1)"

If a ping or host event were to occur when memory is low
we do not want to use GFP_KERNEL, because the paths
sending them cannot block for data to be written. These
paths might be needed to recover write paths. Use GFP_NOIO
instead.

Casting pointer from native data type to other type is
endian-sensitive.
"iocmd->offset" is 64 bit but we use only first 32 bit.
It works in little-endian system but in big-endian system
it will break.

The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes
a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI
returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup
software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives.
Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl,
this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return
immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag
is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform
writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only
applies to writing EOFs.
This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using
the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag.
Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options"
attribute.
The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well
as the problems that can occur from using it.
