bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally
submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.
Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

scheduler is initialized.)
[AVR32] Fix wrong pt_regs in critical exception handler
It's not like it really matters at this point since the system is
dying anyway, but handle_critical pushes too few registers on the
stack so the register dump, which makes the register dump look a bit
strange. This patch fixes it.
The current implementation of copy_to_user_page() gives "vaddr" to the
cache instruction when trying to sync the icache with the dcache. If
vaddr does not exist in the TLB, the CPU will silently abort the
operation, which may result in the caches staying out of sync.
To fix this, pass the "dst" parameter to flush_icache_range() instead
-- we know this is valid because we just wrote to it.
[AVR32] Follow the rules when dealing with the OCD system
The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are
illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly,
it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which
can lead to "undefined behaviour".
It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have
observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs,
including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not
right with the existing code.
The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit
Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in
Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single
step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction.
The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing
its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care
about the trapped context, only the one that came before.)
This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code,
including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB
miss handler.
Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename
__mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively.
The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are
entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD
registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit
numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins,
etc.)
Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
_START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.
We really need to check TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK before returning to
userspace. The existing code does not necessarily do this.
Define the work masks as a bitwise OR of the respective flags instead
of a hardcoded hex value to make it easier to spot errors like this in
the future.

Switch to usual scheme:

* every de_get does +1
* every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1
* once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.
This elegantly fixes at least two following races (both observed) without

1) PDE leak
remove_proc_entry de_put

Also, remove broken usage of ->deleted from reiserfs: if sget() succeeds,
module is already pinned and remove_proc_entry() can't happen => nobody
can mark PDE deleted.

jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c
Before we start committing a transaction, we call
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back
buffers.
If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some
buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction
because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some
assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :).
We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a
transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as
everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a
subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end
of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction
can get to T_FINISHED state.
Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary -
checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a
transaction must be already committed to be processed or from
__journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus
transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something
changes in future...

Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table
register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g. when kmalloc()
returns NULL or when sysctl check fails.
I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for
the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the
unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument.
This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're
dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight
possibility of an OOPS.
Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does
not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and
failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module
loading (in most of the cases).
So I think, that we can just have this check in unregister_sysctl_table

spi: spi_bfin: change handling of communication parameters
Fix SPI driver to work with SPI flash ST M25P16 on bf548
Currently the SPI driver enables the SPI controller and sets the SPI baud
register for each SPI transfer. But they should never be changed within a SPI
message session, in which several SPI transfers are pumped.
This patch moves SPI setting to the begining of a message session, and
never disables SPI controller until an error occurs.

spi: spi_bfin uses platform device resources
Update spi driver to support multi-ports by using platform resources; tested
on STAMP537+SPI_MMC, other boards need more testing. Plus other minor
updates.

spi: spi_bfin cleanups, error handling
Cleanup and error handling
- add error handling in SPI bus driver with selecting clients
- use proper defines to access Blackfin MMRs
- remove useless SSYNCs
- cleaner use of portmux calls
