task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result
struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation
in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now.

layout based on Oleg's suggestion; single-linked list,
task->task_works points to the last element, forward pointer
from said last element points to head. I'd still prefer
much more regular scheme with two pointers in task_work,

get rid of the only user of ->data; this is _not_ the final variant - in the

at which point the separate allocation will be gone completely.

Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send
this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup
infrastructure.
This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread
to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can
put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent
with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data
is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx
is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the
default case.
It seems more correct to only update the field when the user
explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows
the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.

Host has different current capabilities at different voltages, we need
to record these settings seperately. The defined voltages are 1.8/3.0/3.3.
For other voltages, we do not touch current limit setting.
Before we set the current limit for the sd card, find out the host's
operating voltage first and then find out the current capabilities of
the host at that voltage to set the current limit.

Add a new flag of SDHCI_USING_RETUNING_TIMER to represent if the host
is using a retuning timer for the card inserted.
This flag is set when the host does tuning the first time for the card
and the host's retuning mode is 1. This flag is used afterwards whenever
needs to decide if the host is currently using a retuning timer.
This flag is cleared when the card is removed in sdhci_reinit.
The set/clear of the flag and the start/stop of the retuning timer is
associated with the card's init/remove time, so there is no need to
touch it when the host is to be removed as at that time the card should
have already been removed.

Currently only the capability_0 register can be set if
SDHCI_QUIRK_MISSING_CAPS is defined. This is a problem when
the capability_1 register also needs changing. Use the quirk
SDHCI_QUIRK_MISSING_CAPS to allow both registers to be set.
Redefining caps[1] is useful when the board design does not
support 1.8v vccq so UHS modes are not available. The code that
calls sdhci_add_host can then detect this condition and adjust
the caps so the UHS mode will not be attempted on UHS cards.

I've seen several attempts recently made to do quick failover of sctp transports
by reducing various retransmit timers and counters. While its possible to
implement a faster failover on multihomed sctp associations, its not
particularly robust, in that it can lead to unneeded retransmits, as well as
false connection failures due to intermittent latency on a network.
Instead, lets implement the new ietf quick failover draft found here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nishida-tsvwg-sctp-failover-05
This will let the sctp stack identify transports that have had a small number of
errors, and avoid using them quickly until their reliability can be
re-established. I've tested this out on two virt guests connected via multiple
isolated virt networks and believe its in compliance with the above draft and
works well.

Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are:
1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for
kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the
default for some distros. This is a first step, as it does not
help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case
is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline).
This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(),
placed here due to conflicts. Posted to LKML at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/22/381
Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as
they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes,

item being executed
kthread_worker provides minimalistic workqueue-like interface for
users which need a dedicated worker thread (e.g. for realtime
priority). It has basic queue, flush_work, flush_worker operations
which mostly match the workqueue counterparts; however, due to the way
flush_work() is implemented, it has a noticeable difference of not
allowing work items to be freed while being executed.
While the current users of kthread_worker are okay with the current
behavior, the restriction does impede some valid use cases. Also,
removing this difference isn't difficult and actually makes the code
easier to understand.
This patch reimplements flush_kthread_work() such that it uses a
flush_work item instead of queue/done sequence numbers.

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov:
"The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The
old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current
printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon
entering 'dmesg' command.
The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper
iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler.
A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant
of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6.
It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll
try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go:
- The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at
all. It is a regression
- The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else;
- If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your
setup), it hardly can make things worse."

It's not really needed.
We only grabbed a reference to the fib_info for the sake of fib_info
local metrics.
However, fib_info objects are freed using RCU, as are therefore their
private metrics (if any).
We would have triggered a route cache flush if we eliminated a
reference to a fib_info object in the routing tables.
Therefore, any existing cached routes will first check and see that
they have been invalidated before an errant reference to these
metric values would occur.

Caching input routes is slightly simpler than output routes, since we
don't need to be concerned with nexthop exceptions. (locally
destined, and routed packets, never trigger PMTU events or redirects
that will be processed by us).
However, we have to elide caching for the DIRECTSRC and non-zero itag
cases.

If we have an output route that lacks nexthop exceptions, we can cache
it in the FIB info nexthop.
Such routes will have DST_HOST cleared because such routes refer to a
family of destinations, rather than just one.
The sequence of the handling of exceptions during route lookup is
adjusted to make the logic work properly.
Before we allocate the route, we lookup the exception.
Then we know if we will cache this route or not, and therefore whether
DST_HOST should be set on the allocated route.
Then we use DST_HOST to key off whether we should store the resulting
route, during rt_set_nexthop(), in the FIB nexthop cache.
With help from Eric Dumazet.

In order to allow prefixed routes, we have to adjust how rt_gateway
is set and interpreted.
The new interpretation is:
1) rt_gateway == 0, destination is on-link, nexthop is iph->daddr
2) rt_gateway != 0, destination requires a nexthop gateway

inline helper, rt_nexthop(), as suggested by Joe Perches.

The ipv4 routing cache is non-deterministic, performance wise, and is
subject to reasonably easy to launch denial of service attacks.
The routing cache works great for well behaved traffic, and the world
was a much friendlier place when the tradeoffs that led to the routing
cache's design were considered.
What it boils down to is that the performance of the routing cache is
a product of the traffic patterns seen by a system rather than being a
product of the contents of the routing tables. The former of which is
controllable by external entitites.
Even for "well behaved" legitimate traffic, high volume sites can see
hit rates in the routing cache of only ~%10.
