bd46cb6cf1 be2net: Fix to avoid a crash seen on PPC with LRO and Jumbo frames.
While testing the driver on PPC, we ran into a crash with LRO, Jumbo frames.
With CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES configured (a default in PPC), MAX_SKB_FRAGS drops to 3 and we were crossing the array limits on skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[].
Now we coalesce the frags from the same physical page into one slot in
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] and go to the next index when the frag is from

different physical page.

This patch is against the net-2.6 tree.

94e5d714f6 integrity: add ima_counts_put (updated)
This patch fixes an imbalance message as reported by J.R. Okajima.
The IMA file counters are incremented in ima_path_check. If the
actual open fails, such as ETXTBSY, decrement the counters to
prevent unnecessary imbalance messages.

Set attrs and nr_counters if no event is selected and !null_run.

Setting of attrs should depend on number of counters,
so we need to memcpy only for sizeof(default_attrs)

Also set nr_counters as ARRAY_SIZE(default_attrs) in place of
hardcoded value.

ef50f7ac7e KVM: s390: Allow stfle instruction in the guest
2.6.31-rc introduced an architecture level set checker based on facility
bits. e.g. if the kernel is compiled to run only on z9, several facility
bits are checked very early and the kernel refuses to boot if a z9 specific
facility is missing.
Until now kvm on s390 did not implement the store facility extended (STFLE)
instruction. A 2.6.31-rc kernel that was compiled for z9 or higher did not
boot in kvm. This patch implements stfle.

This patch should go in before 2.6.31.

70ec3bb8ea mtd: Use BLOCK_NIL consistently in NFTL/INFTL
Use BLOCK_NIL consistently rather than sometimes 0xffff and sometimes
BLOCK_NIL.

The semantic patch that finds this issue is below
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/).  On the other hand, the changes
were made by hand, in part because drivers/mtd/inftlcore.c contains dead
code that causes spatch to ignore a relevant function.  Specifically, the
function INFTL_findwriteunit contains a do-while loop, but always takes a
return that leaves the loop on the first iteration.

ff780cd8f2 gro: Flush GRO packets in napi_disable_pending path
When NAPI is disabled while we're in net_rx_action, we end up
calling __napi_complete without flushing GRO packets.  This is
a bug as it would cause the GRO packets to linger, of course it
also literally BUGs to catch error like this :)

This patch changes it to napi_complete, with the obligatory IRQ
reenabling.  This should be safe because we've only just disabled
IRQs and it does not materially affect the test conditions in
between.

1ab18486e4 kbuild: deb-pkg ship changelog
In the series for 2.6.31 it was noticed to ship the copyright,
but the generated changelog got lost somehow.

As bonus the generated linux-image deb packages are Lenny lintian clean.

857eceebd2 Add new __init_task_data macro to be used in arch init_task.c files.
This patch is preparation for replacing most ".data.init_task" in the
kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed
without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".data.foo".

39a449d96a asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h
We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
is quite confusing.  We should switch the macro in the linker script to
INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch).  Since
the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.

However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
.data.init_task section.  So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.

I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

d2af12aead Add new macros for page-aligned data and bss sections.
This patch is preparation for replacing most uses of
".bss.page_aligned" and ".data.page_aligned" in the kernel with

to touch a lot of the kernel.

73f1d9391a asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: Fix up RW_DATA_SECTION definition.
RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,
while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted
in the comments.

There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

4a27096bbe mac80211: Use rcu_barrier() on unload.
The mac80211 module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier()
on module unload.

The rcu_barrier() is placed in mech.c ieee80211_stop_mesh() which is
invoked from ieee80211_stop() in case vif.type == NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT.

75de874f5c sunrpc: Use rcu_barrier() on unload.
The sunrpc module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier() on
module unload.

Have not verified that the possibility for new call_rcu() callbacks
has been disabled.  As a hint for checking, the functions calling
call_rcu() (unx_destroy_cred and generic_destroy_cred) are
registered as crdestroy function pointer in struct rpc_credops.

473c22d759 bridge: Use rcu_barrier() instead of syncronize_net() on unload.
When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must
use rcu_barrier().  This module uses syncronize_net() which is not
enough to be sure that all callback has been completed.

The decnet module unloading as been disabled with a '#if 0' statement,
because it have had issues.

We add a rcu_barrier() anyhow for correctness.

The maintainer (Chrissie Caulfield) will look into the unload issue
when time permits.

9c72ebef5a ide-cd: handle fragmented packet commands gracefully
There are some devices in the wild that clear the DRQ bit during the
last word of a packet command and therefore could use a "second chance"
for that last word of data to be xferred instead of simply failing the
request. Do that by attempting to suck in those last bytes in PIO mode.

In addition, the ATA_ERR bit has to be cleared for we cannot be sure the
data is valid otherwise.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13399 for details.
