Two legit bug fixes, and one killing an interface that is no longer in use. - A patch from Jan, making the annoying partition ioctl warning a bit less annoying, by restricting it to !CAP_SYS_RAWIO only. - Three bug fixes for drbd from Lars Ellenberg. - A fix for an old regression for umem, it hasn't really worked since the plugging scheme was changed in 3.0. - A few fixes from Tejun. - A splice fix from Eric Dumazet, fixing an issue with pipe resizing." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: scsi: Silence unnecessary warnings about ioctl to partition block: Drop dead function blk_abort_queue() block: Mitigate lock unbalance caused by lock switching block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue umem: fix up unplugging splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses drbd: fix null pointer dereference with on-congestion policy when diskless drbd: fix list corruption by failing but already aborted reads drbd: fix access of unallocated pages and kernel panic xen/blkfront: Add WARN to deal with misbehaving backends. blkcg: drop local variable @q from blkg_destroy() mtip32xx: Create debugfs entries for troubleshooting mtip32xx: Remove 'registers' and 'flags' from sysfs blkcg: fix blkg_alloc() failure path block: blkcg_policy_cfq shouldn't be used if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block: fix return value on cfq_init() failure mtip32xx: Remove version.h header file inclusion xen/blkback: Copy id field when doing BLKIF_DISCARD.

Yes, the changes seem a bit big this late in the cycle, but I've been beating on them for a while now, and Stephen has even optimized it a bit, so all looks good to me. The other change in here is a Documentation update for the stable kernel rules describing how some distro patches should be backported, to hopefully drive a bit more response from the distros to the stable kernel releases.

To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a driver for BCM8706 and BCM8727 devices. These are a 10Gig PHYs which use MII_ADDR_C45 addressing. They are always 10G full duplex, so there is no autonegotiation. All we do is report link state and send interrupts when it changes. If the PHY has a device tree of_node associated with it, the "broadcom,c45-reg-init" property is used to supply register initialization values when config_init() is called.

"ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c22" and "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45" are used to indicate a PHY uses the corresponding protocol. If a PHY is "compatible" with "ethernet-phy-ieee802.3-c45", we indicate this so that get_phy_device() can properly probe the device. If get_phy_device() fails, it was probably due to failing the probe of the PHY identifier registers. Since we have the device tree telling us the PHY exists, go ahead and add it anyhow with a phy_id of zero. There may be a driver match based on the "compatible" property.

Plus, it had to wait a little for the ack of a devicetree maintainer since the bindings were not trivial enough for me to pass through. So, given that, I hope there is still something like the "new driver rule", so we could have the driver in 3.5 and people can start using it. That would make merging support for some boards easier for 3.6 since the dependency on this driver is gone then." * 'i2c-embedded/for-current' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/wsa/linux: i2c: Add generic I2C multiplexer using pinctrl API

In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with some changes to the existing backends." Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code changing a line next to the new frontswap entry. This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE users.

Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867: "Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on xtime_lock. Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition, this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on many-core systems." Problems: - Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized. - Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick being synchronized. - SGI reports the same for their large systems. - Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal, but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention. - 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention disappeared virtually completely.

* | | | | | ipv4: Add interface option to enable routing of 127.0.0.0/8Thomas Graf2012-06-121-0/+5

This is a sane default but renders a huge address space practically unuseable. The RFC states that no address within the 127/8 block should ever appear on any network anywhere but it does not forbid the use of such addresses outside of the loopback device in particular. For example to address a pool of virtual guests behind a load balancer. This patch adds a new interface option 'route_localnet' enabling routing of the 127/8 address block and processing of ARP requests on a specific interface. Note that for the feature to work, the default local route covering 127/8 dev lo needs to be removed. Example: $ sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.route_localnet=1 $ ip route del 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table local $ ip addr add 127.1.0.1/16 dev eth0 $ ip route flush cache V2: Fix invalid check to auto flush cache (thanks davem) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
