10) Multiple ipv6 fragmentation headers in one packet is illegal and
such packets should be dropped, from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
11) When TCP sockets are "repaired" as part of checkpoint/restart, the
timestamp field of SKBs need to be refreshed otherwise RTOs can be
wildly off. From Andrey Vagin.
12) Fix memcpy args (uses 'address of pointer' instead of 'pointer') in
hostp driver. From Dan Carpenter.
13) nl80211hdr_put() doesn't return an ERR_PTR, but some code believes
it does. From Dan Carpenter.
14) Fix regression in wireless SME disconnects, from Johannes Berg.

Binding ACPI handle to SCSI device has several drawbacks, namely:
1 During ATA device initialization time, ACPI handle will be needed
while SCSI devices are not created yet. So each time ACPI handle is
needed, instead of retrieving the handle by ACPI_HANDLE macro,
a namespace scan is performed to find the handle for the corresponding
ATA device. This is inefficient, and also expose a restriction on
calling path not holding any lock.
2 The binding to SCSI device tree makes code complex, while at the same
time doesn't bring us any benefit. All ACPI handlings are still done
in ATA module, not in SCSI.
Rework the ATA ACPI binding code to bind ACPI handle to ATA transport
devices(ATA port and ATA device). The binding needs to be done only once,
since the ATA transport devices do not go away with hotplug. And due to
this, the flush_work call in hotplug handler for ATA bay is no longer
needed.
Tested on an Intel test platform for binding and runtime power off for
ODD(ZPODD) and hard disk; on an ASUS S400C for binding and normal boot
and S3, where its SATA port node has _SDD and _GTF control methods when
configured as an AHCI controller and its PATA device node has _GTF
control method when configured as an IDE controller. SATA PMP binding
and ATA hotplug is not tested.

Commit f792685006274a850e6cc0ea9ade275ccdfc90bc ("math64: New
div64_u64_rem helper") implemented div64_u64 in terms of div64_u64_rem.
But div64_u64_rem was removed because it slowed down div64_u64 (and
there were no other users of div64_u64_rem).
Device Mapper's I/O statistics support has a need for div64_u64_rem;
reintroduce this helper as a separate method that doesn't slow down
div64_u64, especially on 32-bit systems.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-next
ASoC: Updates for v3.12
- DAPM is now mandatory for CODEC drivers in order to avoid the repeated
regressions in the special cases for non-DAPM CODECs and make it
easier to integrate with other components on boards. All existing
drivers have had some level of DAPM support added.
- A lot of cleanups in DAPM plus support for maintaining controls in a
specific state while a DAPM widget all contributed by Lars-Peter Clausen.
- Core helpers for bitbanged AC'97 reset from Markus Pargmann.
- New drivers and support for Analog Devices ADAU1702 and ADAU1401(a),
Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4554, Atmel AT91ASM9x5 and WM8904 based
machines, Freescale S/PDIF and SSI AC'97, Renesas R-Car SoCs, Samsung
Exynos5420 SoCs, Texas Instruments PCM1681 and PCM1792A and Wolfson
Microelectronics WM8997.
- Support for building drivers that can support it cross-platform for
compile test.

This follows what has already been done for the DeviceTree helpers. Move
the ACPI helpers from drivers/acpi/acpi_i2c.c to the I2C core and update
documentation accordingly.
This also solves a problem reported by Jerry Snitselaar that we can't build
the ACPI I2C helpers as a module.

I2C of helpers used to live in of_i2c.c but experience (from SPI) shows
that it is much cleaner to have this in the core. This also removes a
circular dependency between the helpers and the core, and so we can
finally register child nodes in the core instead of doing this manually
in each driver. So, fix the drivers and documentation, too.

Add support to pass the config type like GROUP or PIN when using
the utils or generic pin configuration APIs. This will make the
APIs more generic.
Added additional inline APIs such that it can be use directly as
callback for the pinctrl_ops.
Changes from V1:
- Remove separate implementation for pins and group for
pinctrl_utils_dt_free_map and improve this function
to support both i.e. PINS and GROUPs.

The problem here is that the dma_xfer() functions in
drivers/ata/pata_arasan_cf.c and drivers/mtd/nand/fsmc_nand.c expect
dma_submit_error() to return an error code so they return 1 when they
intended to return a negative.
So far as I can tell, none of the ->tx_submit() functions ever do
return error codes so this patch should have no effect in the current
code.
I also changed it from a define to an inline.

IP sends device configuration (see inet_fill_link_af) as an array

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.
The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.
In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774
So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that. Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

Based on a patch by Jon Mason (see URL below).
All users of pcie_bus_configure_settings() pass arguments of the form
"bus, bus->self->pcie_mpss". The "mpss" argument is redundant since we
can easily look it up internally. In addition, all callers check
"bus->self" for NULL, which we can also do internally.
This patch simplifies the interface and the callers. No functional change.

This patch adds wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout(), which is a
straight-forward descendant of wait_event_interruptible_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq().
The zfcp driver used to call wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
in combination with some intricate and error-prone locking. Using
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() as a replacement
nicely cleans up that locking.
This rework removes a situation that resulted in a locking imbalance
in zfcp_qdio_sbal_get():
BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: events/1/0xffffff00/10
last function: zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline+0x0/0xa0 [zfcp]
It was introduced by commit c2af7545aaff3495d9bf9a7608c52f0af86fb194
"[SCSI] zfcp: Do not wait for SBALs on stopped queue", which had a new
code path related to ZFCP_STATUS_ADAPTER_QDIOUP that took an early exit
without a required lock being held. The problem occured when a
special, non-SCSI I/O request was being submitted in process context,
when the adapter's queues had been torn down. In this case the bug
surfaced when the Fibre Channel port connection for a well-known address
was closed during a concurrent adapter shut-down procedure, which is a
rare constellation.
This patch also fixes these warnings from the sparse tool (make C=1):
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:224:12: warning: context imbalance in
'zfcp_qdio_sbal_check' - wrong count at exit
drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_qdio.c:244:5: warning: context imbalance in
'zfcp_qdio_sbal_get' - unexpected unlock
Last but not least, we get rid of that crappy lock-unlock-lock
sequence at the beginning of the critical section.
It is okay to call zfcp_erp_adapter_reopen() with req_q_lock held.

fix the previous patch some mistake below:
1. DT in slave node, use "spi-tx-nbits = <1/2/4>" in place of using
"spi-tx-dual, spi-tx-quad" directly, same to rx. So correct the
previous way to get the property in @of_register_spi_devices().
2. Change the value of transfer bit macro(SPI_NBITS_SINGLE, SPI_NBITS_DUAL
SPI_NBITS_QUAD) to 0x01, 0x02 and 0x04 to match the actual wires.
3. Add the following check
(1)keep the tx_nbits and rx_nbits in spi_transfer is not beyond the
single, dual and quad.
(2)keep tx_nbits and rx_nbits are contained by @spi_device->mode
example: if @spi_device->mode = DUAL, then tx/rx_nbits can not be set
to QUAD(SPI_NBITS_QUAD)
(3)if "@spi_device->mode & SPI_3WIRE", then tx/rx_nbits should be in
single(SPI_NBITS_SINGLE)

Haswell GT3e has the unique feature of supporting Write-Through cacheing
of objects within the eLLC/LLC. The purpose of this is to enable the display
plane to remain coherent whilst objects lie resident in the eLLC/LLC - so
that we, in theory, get the best of both worlds, perfect display and fast
access.
However, we still need to be careful as the CPU does not see the WT when
accessing the cache. In particular, this means that we need to flush the
cache lines after writing to an object through the CPU, and on
transitioning from a cached state to WT.
v2: Actually do the clflush on transition to WT, nagging by Ville.
v3: Flush the CPU cache after writes into WT objects.
v4: Rease onto LLC updates and report WT as "uncached" for
get_cache_level_ioctl to remain symmetric with set_cache_level_ioctl.

There's a small problem with sk-filters on tun devices. Consider
an application doing this sequence of steps:
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
ioctl(fd, TUNATTACHFILTER, &my_filter);
ioctl(fd, TUNSETPERSIST, 1);
close(fd);
At that point the tun0 will remain in the system and will keep in
mind that there should be a socket filter at address '&my_filter'.
If after that we do
fd = open("/dev/net/tun");
ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, { .ifr_name = "tun0" });
we most likely receive the -EFAULT error, since tun_attach() would
try to connect the filter back. But (!) if we provide a filter at
address &my_filter, then tun0 will be created and the "new" filter
would be attached, but application may not know about that.
This may create certain problems to anyone using tun-s, but it's
critical problem for c/r -- if we meet a persistent tun device
with a filter in mind, we will not be able to attach to it to dump
its state (flags, owner, address, vnethdr size, etc.).
The proposal is to allow to attach to tun device (with TUNSETIFF)
w/o attaching the filter to the tun-file's socket. After this
attach app may e.g clean the device by dropping the filter, it
doesn't want to have one, or (in case of c/r) get information
about the device with tun ioctls.

Tun devices cannot be created with ifidex user wants, but it's
required by checkpoint-restore project.
Long time ago such ability was implemented for rtnl_ops-based
interface for creating links (9c7dafbf net: Allow to create links
with given ifindex), but the only API for creating and managing
tuntap devices is ioctl-based and is evolving with adding new ones
(cde8b15f tuntap: add ioctl to attach or detach a file form tuntap
device).
Following that trend, here's how a new ioctl that sets the ifindex
for device, that _will_ be created by TUNSETIFF ioctl looks like.
So those who want a tuntap device with the ifindex N, should open
the tun device, call ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFINDEX, &N), then call TUNSETIFF.
If the index N is busy, then the register_netdev will find this out
and the ioctl would be failed with -EBUSY.
If setifindex is not called, then it will be generated as before.
