96c87607ac rfkill: introduce RFKILL_STATE_MAX
While it is interesting to not add last-enum-markers because it allows gcc
to warn us of switch() statements missing a valid state, we really should
be handling memory corruption on a rfkill state with default clauses,
anyway.

So add RFKILL_STATE_MAX and use it where applicable.  It makes for safer
code in the long run.

77fba13ccc rfkill: add __must_check annotations
rfkill is not a small, mere detail in wireless support.  Once it starts
supporting rfkill and users start counting on that support, a wireless
device is at risk of operating in dangerous conditions should rfkill
support fail to properly activate.

Therefore, add the required __must_check annotations on some key functions
of the rfkill API, for which the wireless drivers absolutely MUST handle
the failure mode safely in order to avoid a potentially dangerous situation
where the wireless transmitter is left enabled when the user don't want it
to.

9961920199 rfkill: add default global states (v2)
Add a second set of global states, "rfkill_default_states", to track the
state that will be used when the first rfkill class of a given type is
registered, and also to save "undo" information when rfkill_epo is called.

Add a new exported function, rfkill_set_default(), which can be used by
platform drivers to restore radio state saved by the platform across
reboots or shutdown.

Also, fix rfkill_epo to properly update rfkill_states, but still preserve a
copy of the state so that we can undo the effect of rfkill_epo later if we
want to.  Add rfkill_restore_states() to restore rfkill_states from the
copy.

02589f6051 rfkill: detect bogus double-registering (v2)
Detect and abort with -EEXIST if rfkill_register is called twice on the
same rfkill struct.  And WARN_ON(it) for good measure.

While at it, flag when we are adding the first switch of a type, we will

06b16ae531 libertas_tf: main.c, data paths and mac80211 handlers
This patch contains most of the libertastf driver, just lacking command helper
functions and usb specific functions. Currently, monitor, managed, ap and mesh
interfaces are supported. Even though this driver supports the same hardware as
the "libertas" driver, it uses a different (thin) firmware, that makes it
suitable for a mac80211 driver.

63266a6535 ath5k: rates cleanup
cleanup the rates structures used by ath5k. instead of separate driver and
mac80211 rate structures we now setup a static ieee80211_rate array and use it
directly. no conversion between two different rate structures has to be done
any more. a lot of unused and confusing junk was deleted.

renamed ath5k_getchannels into ath5k_setup_bands because this is what it does.
rewrote it to copy the bitrates correctly for each band. this is necessary for
running different hardware with the same driver (e.g. 5211 and 5212 based
cards).

add special handling of rates for AR5211 chipsets: it uses different rate codes
for CCK rates (which are actually like the other chips but with a 0xF mask).

setup a hardware code to rate index reverse mapping table for getting the rate
index of received frames.

the rates for control frames which have to be set in
ath5k_hw_write_rate_duration are now in one single array.

This happens because I2C probing code (drivers/of/of_i2c.c) is specifying

14bac5acfd mm: xip/ext2 fix block allocation race
XIP can call into get_xip_mem concurrently with the same file,offset with
create=1.  This usually maps down to get_block, which expects the page
lock to prevent such a situation.  This causes ext2 to explode for one
reason or another.

Serialise those calls for the moment.  For common usages today, I suspect
get_xip_mem rarely is called to create new blocks.  In future as XIP
technologies evolve we might need to look at which operations require
scalability, and rework the locking to suit.

538f8ea6c8 mm: xip fix fault vs sparse page invalidate race
XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.

What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version.  Ie.  data corruption.

Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.

479db0bf40 mm: dirty page tracking race fix
There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
be accounted for.

clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.

page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
write protects the pte if it was dirty.  It uses page_check_address to
find the pte.  That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
not present.  Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
be dirty.

For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
before setting it to the desired value.  There may also be other code in
core mm or in arch which do similar things.

The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
loss of dirty page accounting accuracy.  XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
lead to data corruption.

Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
page_check_address.

It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
try_to_unmap.

2d70b68d42 fix setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) thread iterator breakage
When user calls sys_setpriority(PRIO_PGRP ...) on a NPTL style multi-LWP
process, only the task leader of the process is affected, all other
sibling LWP threads didn't receive the setting.  The problem was that the
iterator used in sys_setpriority() only iteartes over one task for each
process, ignoring all other sibling thread.

Introduce a new macro do_each_pid_thread / while_each_pid_thread to walk
each thread of a process.  Convert 4 call sites in {set/get}priority and
ioprio_{set/get}.
