atmel_lcdfb: disable LCD and DMA engines when suspending
When suspending the system with atmel_lcdfb enabled, I sometimes see
this:
atmel_lcdfb atmel_lcdfb.0: FIFO underflow 0x10
Which can be explained by the fact that we're not stopping the LCD
controller and its DMA engine when suspending, we're just gating the
clocks to them.
There's another potential issue which may be harder to trigger but
much more nasty: If we gate the clocks at _just_ the right moment,
e.g. when the DMA engine is doing a bus transaction, we may cause the
DMA engine to violate the system bus protocol and cause a lockup.
Avoid these issues by shutting down the LCD controller before entering
suspend (and restarting it when resuming). This prevents the underrun
from happening in the first place, and prevents whatever nastiness is
happening when the bus clock stops in the middle of a DMA transfer.

If you are on ia64 and you modprobe xpc then modprobe -r xpc, you
immediately get a panic. xpc depends on xp which depends on gru for a

Currently, the GRU driver detects we are not on UV hardware and does no
initializing. It does not do the same check when unloading. As a result,
the gru driver attempts to tear down stuff that was not setup.
This is a simple two-line workaround to get us through this release. Once

from gru so the gru driver can properly fail to load when hardware is not

mm: mark the correct zone as full when scanning zonelists
The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when
scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is. The
zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be
scanned, not the current one. It was intended to be treated as an opaque
list.
When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the
zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full. As the
zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here;
if (NUMA_BUILD)
zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z);
This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref
cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full.
This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the
problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned
instead of the next one.

pxa2xx_spi: dma bugfixes
Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. The first bug is in all
versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel,
and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can
issue large DMA reads).
1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing,
but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode.
Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers.
2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode. A
test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA
or PIO mode. Worked around by rejecting only large transfers
with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers
larger than 8191 to use PIO mode. A rate limited warning is
issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode.
This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

pxa2xx_spi: chipselect bugfixes
Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. These bugs are in
all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16
flash.
1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early:
before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the
delay ineffective at holding chip select.
2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer
of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough).
3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the
chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended
meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the
next message.
Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays
and chip select de-assertions.
4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer,
and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3,
above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is
for a different chip. Fixed by dropping chip select regardless
of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message
or if the next message is for a different chip.

After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused
by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access.
Following part is the code in question:
HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff,
n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives,
including other HGST drives are not that strict, through.
>From the ATA specification:
(http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf)
8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors
This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number
of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall
be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh.
So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request
as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum
value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe.
The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do
that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and
the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe
this fix works reliably.
Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck
by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver.

It turns out that remaining can become negative due to alignment in

nla_for_each_attr() may access memory outside the received buffer.

[Bluetooth] Fix regression from using default link policy
To speed up the Simple Pairing connection setup, the support for the
default link policy has been enabled. This is in contrast to settings
the link policy on every connection setup. Using the default link policy
is the preferred way since there is no need to dynamically change it for
every connection.
For backward compatibility reason and to support old userspace the
HCISETLINKPOL ioctl has been switched over to using hci_request() to
issue the HCI command for setting the default link policy instead of
just storing it in the HCI device structure.
However the hci_request() can only be issued when the device is
brought up. If used on a device that is registered, but still down
it will timeout and fail. This is problematic since the command is
put on the TX queue and the Bluetooth core tries to submit it to
hardware that is not ready yet. The timeout for these requests is
10 seconds and this causes a significant regression when setting up
a new device.
The userspace can perfectly handle a failure of the HCISETLINKPOL
ioctl and will re-submit it later, but the 10 seconds delay causes
a problem. So in case hci_request() is called on a device that is
still down, just fail it with ENETDOWN to indicate what happens.

The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

ath9k: Assign seq# when mac80211 requests this
Use TX control flag IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ as a request to update
the seq# for the frames. This will likely require some further cleanup
to get seq# correctly for Beacons vs. other frames and also potentially
for multiple BSSes. Anyway, this is better than ending up sending out
most frames with seq# 0.
(This is a backport of patch w/ same title already in net-next-2.6.
It is verified to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11394
and it should be acceptable for -rc due to the driver being new
in 2.6.27.)

block: disable sysfs parts of the disk command filter
We still have life time issues with the sysfs command filter kobject,
so disable it for 2.6.27 release. We can revisit this and make it work
properly for 2.6.28, for 2.6.27 release it's too risky.

[ARM] OMAP: Fix MMC device data
OMAPs MMC device data was passing the wrong structure via the platform
device. Moreover, a missing function means that both sx1_defconfig
and omap_h2_1610_defconfig builds failed with
undefined reference to `omap_set_mmc_info'
errors. Fix this by updating the MMC support from the omapzoom tree.

Accesses to CR4 are intercepted even with Nested Paging enabled. But the code
does not check if the guest wants to do a global TLB flush. So this flush gets
lost. This patch adds the check and the flush to svm_set_cr4.

KVM: SVM: fix random segfaults with NPT enabled
This patch introduces a guest TLB flush on every NPF exit in KVM. This fixes
random segfaults and #UD exceptions in the guest seen under some workloads
(e.g. long running compile workloads or tbench). A kernbench run with and
without that fix showed that it has a slowdown lower than 0.5%

sparc64: Get rid of pci_controller_info.
It is just used as a parent to encapsulate two PBM objects.
But that layout is only really relevant and necessary for
psycho PCI controllers, which unlike all the others share
a single IOMMU instance between sibling PCI busses.
