cb58160e72 RDMA/iwcm: Reject the connection when the cm_id is destroyed
If the cm_id of a connect request is destroyed prior to the ULP
accepting or rejecting the connection, then the provider never cleans
up the connection.  The iwcm should explicitly reject these
connections if the cm_id is destroyed.

172e082a91 sched: Re-tune the scheduler latency defaults to decrease worst-case latencies
Reduce the latency target from 20 msecs to 5 msecs.

Why? Larger latencies increase spread, which is good for scaling,
but bad for worst case latency.

We still have the ilog(nr_cpus) rule to scale up on bigger

2bba22c50b sched: Turn off child_runs_first
Set child_runs_first default to off.

It hurts 'optimal' make -j<NR_CPUS> workloads as make jobs
get preempted by child tasks, reducing parallelism.

Note, this patch might make existing races in user
applications more prominent than before - so breakages
might be bisected to this commit.

Child-runs-first is broken on SMP to begin with, and we
already had it off briefly in v2.6.23 so most of the
offenders ought to be fixed. Would be nice not to revert
this commit but fix those apps finally ...

7135a71b19 aoe: allocate unused request_queue for sysfs
Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an
incorrectly initialised request_queue object:

  [ 2645.959090] kobject '<NULL>' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add
		an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong.

  [ 2645.959161] [<ffffffffa01673c4>] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe]

The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in
code that does not sleep.

Bruno bisected this regression down to

  cd43e26f07

  block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs

"This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for
 everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a
 non-NULL queue->request_fn."

Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942

Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been
an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and
must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was
always buggy in this respect (Jens).

3e5cd1f257 dmi: extend dmi_get_year() to dmi_get_date()
There are cases where full date information is required instead of
just the year.  Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
it to dmi_get_date().

As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
avoid upsetting existing users.

The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy].  Year, month
and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
[1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
returned as zero.

The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
other dummy functions behave.

02c24fa877 dmi: fix date handling in dmi_get_year()
Year parsing in dmi_get_year() had the following two bugs.

* "00" is treated as invalid instead of 2000 because zero return from
  simple_strtoul() is treated as error.

* "0N" where N >= 8 is treated as invalid of 200N because the leading
  0 is considered to specify octal.

bd30add88c libata: unbreak TPM filtering by reorganizing ata_scsi_pass_thru()
ata_scsi_pass_thru() was checking for input sanity and disallowed
commands while initializaing qc from scmd.  TPM filtering was added
right after protocol check at which point tf wasn't initialized
properly.  This means that TPM filtering has never really worked.

This patch fixes the bug by reorganizing ata_scsi_pass_thru() such
that qc is fully initialized before checking for invalid conditions
which is way less error prone.

Discovered while Thilo-Alexander Ginkel was trying debug patches for
bko#13416.

72fee3823d sata_sis: convert to slave_link
During introduction of slave_link, sata_sis slipped through the crack
and left with ad-hoc merged SCR access.  As SCR status was shared for
both the master and slave devices, when only one of the device is
online, libata EH would think both are online but would only get valid
device signature for the actually present one, which in turn trigger
the probing safety net mechanism and make EH retry causing large delay
during boot.  This patch converts sata_sis to slave_link mechanism.

This bug was reported by TAXI in bko#14075.

e6890f6f3d i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM state
Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs)
when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when
suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops
turned out to be

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084
	IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915]

and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after
having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do

  i915_gem_idle() ->
    i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ->
      i915_gem_cleanup_hws() ->
        dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL;

but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to
access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference.

And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt,
and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is
simply a silently hung machine.

Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than
after. Fixes

cdc65fbe18 ASoC: au1x: PSC-AC97 bugfixes
This patch fixes the following bugs:

- only reprogram bitdepth if it has changed since last call to hw_params.
- add locking inside ac97_read/write functions:
  When reprogramming sample depth, the ac97 unit has to be disabled,
  which should not be done in the middle of codec register accesses.

- retry timed-out codec register accesses.

- wait for status bits to set/clear when starting/stopping various
  functional blocks; very important after reenabling AC97 unit else
  sound may be distorted (e.g. high-pitch noise in 1kHz sine wave).

- clear fifos before/after starting/stopping RX/TX.

- longer timeouts waiting for PSC/AC97 ready after cold reset
  with certain codecs this can take ridiculous amounts of time.

Run-tested on various Au1200 platforms with various codecs.

30b3710105 kmemleak: add clear command support
In an ideal world your kmemleak output will be small, when its
not (usually during initial bootup) you can use the clear command
to ingore previously reported and unreferenced kmemleak objects. We
do this by painting all currently reported unreferenced objects grey.
We paint them grey instead of black to allow future scans on the same
objects as such objects could still potentially reference newly
allocated objects in the future.

To test a critical section on demand with a clean
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak you can do:

echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
        test your kernel or modules
echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

Then as usual to get your report with:

cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

179a8100e1 kmemleak: Do no create the clean-up thread during kmemleak_disable()
The kmemleak_disable() function could be called from various contexts
including IRQ. It creates a clean-up thread but the kthread_create()
function has restrictions on which contexts it can be called from,
mainly because of the kthread_create_lock. The patch changes the
kmemleak clean-up thread to a workqueue.

Added the debug proc file to see or change the snd_pcm_hardware fields
to emulate.  The parameters can be changed by writing to a proc file like:

    # echo periods_min 4 > /proc/asound/card1/dummy_pcm

b5d9d734a5 sched: Ensure that a child can't gain time over it's parent after fork()
A fork/exec load is usually "pass the baton", so the child
should never be placed behind the parent.  With START_DEBIT we
make room for the new task, but with child_runs_first, that
room comes out of the _parent's_ hide. There's nothing to say
that the parent wasn't ahead of min_vruntime at fork() time,
which means that the "baton carrier", who is essentially the
parent in drag, can gain time and increase scheduling latencies
for waiters.

With NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS + START_DEBIT + child_runs_first
enabled, we essentially pass the sleeper fairness off to the
child, which is fine, but if we don't base placement on the
parent's updated vruntime, we can end up compounding latency
woes if the child itself then does fork/exec.  The debit
incurred at fork doesn't hurt the parent who is then going to
sleep and maybe exit, but the child who acquires the error
harms all comers.

This improves latencies of make -j<n> kernel build workloads.
