functions for external storage of seq in/out lengths,
i.e., for 32-bit lengths.
These type-dependent functions automatically determine whether to
store the length internally (embedded in the command header word) or
externally (after the address pointer), based on size of the type
given.

init_desc, by always ORing with 1 for the descriptor header inclusion
into the descriptor length, and init_sh_desc_pdb, by always specifying
the descriptor length modification for the PDB via options, would not
allow for odd length PDBs to be embedded in the constructed descriptor
length. Fix this by simply changing the OR to an addition.
also round-up pdb_bytes to the next SEC command unit size, to
allow for, e.g., optional packet header bytes that aren't a
multiple of CAAM_CMD_SZ.

is currently duplicated in each module (camellia-x86_64, twofish-x86_64-3way,

It has been observed that sometimes the crypto allocation code
will get stuck for 60 seconds or multiples thereof. This is
usually caused by an algorithm failing to pass the self-test.
If an algorithm fails to be constructed, we will immediately notify
all larval waiters. However, if it succeeds in construction, but
then fails the self-test, we won't notify anyone at all.
This patch fixes this by merging the notification in the case
where the algorithm fails to be constructed with that of the
the case where it pases the self-test. This way regardless of
what happens, we'll give the larval waiters an answer.

This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Serpent block
cipher. The implementation is very similar to the sse2 implementation and
processes eight blocks in parallel. Because of the new non-destructive three
operand syntax all move-instructions can be removed and therefore a little
performance increase is provided.
Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Twofish block
cipher. The implementation processes eight blocks in parallel (two 4 block
chunk AVX operations). The table-lookups are done in general-purpose registers.
For small blocksizes the 3way-parallel functions from the twofish-x86_64-3way
module are called. A good performance increase is provided for blocksizes
greater or equal to 128B.
Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
a7f638f999ff ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
for userspace").
Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

This reverts commit 9e612a008fa7fe493a473454def56aa321479495.
It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently
not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using
the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware.
That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common
denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the
default EDID and pretty much anything supports).
I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least
check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume
there's something on the VGA connector.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 bug fixes from Theodore Ts'o:
"This update contains two bug fixes, both destined for the stable tree.
Perhaps the most important is one which fixes ext4 when used with file
systems originally formatted for use with ext3, but then later
converted to take advantage of ext4."
* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
ext4: don't set i_flags in EXT4_IOC_SETFLAGS
ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bg

Pull powerpc fixes from Paul Mackerras:
"Two small fixes for powerpc:
- a fix for a regression since 3.2 that causes 4-second (or longer)
pauses
- a fix for a potential oops when loading kernel modules on 32-bit
embedded systems."
* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc:

Pull UBI/UBIFS fixes from Artem Bityutskiy:
"Fix UBI and UBIFS - they refuse to work without debugfs. This was
broken by the 3.5-rc1 UBI/UBIFS changes when we removed the debugging
Kconfig switches.
Also, correct locking in 'ubi_wl_flush()' - it was extended to support
flushing a specific LEB in 3.5-rc1, and the locking was sub-optimal."
* tag 'upstream-3.5-rc2' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs:
UBI: correct ubi_wl_flush locking
UBIFS: fix debugfs-less systems support
UBI: fix debugfs-less systems support

This reverts commit 7732a557b1342c6e6966efb5f07effcf99f56167 (and commit
3f50fff4dace23d3cfeb195d5cd4ee813cee68b7, which was a follow-up
cleanup).
We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce
using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of
locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex
locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of
the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing
directory entries around.
Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected
directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert
aims to basically get us back to a known older state.
Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at
http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
and in particular a long post from Neil:
http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown>
It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from
other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave
constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a
new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but
reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right
thing regardless.
