813e0c46c9 GFS2: Fix "truncate in progress" hang
Following on from the recent clean up of gfs2_quotad, this patch moves
the processing of "truncate in progress" inodes from the glock workqueue
into gfs2_quotad. This fixes a hang due to the "truncate in progress"
processing requiring glocks in order to complete.

It might seem odd to use gfs2_quotad for this particular item, but
we have to use a pre-existing thread since creating a thread implies
a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation which is not allowed from the glock
workqueue context. Of the existing threads, gfs2_logd and gfs2_recoverd
may deadlock if used for this operation. gfs2_scand and gfs2_glockd are
both scheduled for removal at some (hopefully not too distant) future
point. That leaves only gfs2_quotad whose workload is generally fairly
light and is easily adapted for this extra task.

Also, as a result of this change, it opens the way for a future patch to
make the reading of the inode's information asynchronous with respect to
the glock workqueue, which is another improvement that has been on the list
for some time now.

37b2c8377c GFS2: Clean up & move gfs2_quotad
This patch is a clean up of gfs2_quotad prior to giving it an
extra job to do in addition to the current portfolio of updating
the quota and statfs information from time to time.

As a result it has been moved into quota.c allowing one of the
functions it calls to be made static. Also the clean up allows
the two existing functions to have separate timeouts and also
to coexist with its future role of dealing with the "truncate in
progress" inode flag.

The (pointless) setting of gfs2_quotad_secs is removed since we
arrange to only wake up quotad when one of the two timers expires.

In addition the struct gfs2_quota_data is moved into a slab cache,
mainly for easier debugging. It should also be possible to use
a shrinker in the future, rather than the current scheme of scanning
the quota data entries from time to time.

fa75cedc3d GFS2: Add more detail to debugfs glock dumps
Although the glock dumps print quite a lot of information about
the glocks themselves, there are more things which can be
usefully added to the dump realting to the objects themselves.

This patch adds a few more fields to the inode and resource
group lines, which should be useful for debugging.

383f01fbf4 GFS2: Banish struct gfs2_dinode_host
The final field in gfs2_dinode_host was the i_flags field. Thats
renamed to i_diskflags in order to avoid confusion with the existing

to avoid creating a "hole".

e9079cce20 GFS2: Support for FIEMAP ioctl
This patch implements the FIEMAP ioctl for GFS2. We can use the generic
code (aside from a lock order issue, solved as per Ted Tso's suggestion)
for which I've introduced a new variant of the generic function. We also
have one exception to deal with, namely stuffed files, so we do that
"by hand", setting all the required flags.

This has been tested with a modified (I could only find an old version) of
Eric's test program, and appears to work correctly.

This patch does not currently support FIEMAP of xattrs, but the plan is to add
that feature at some future point.

ddebc973c5 dccp: Lockless integration of CCID congestion-control plugins
Based on Arnaldo's earlier patch, this patch integrates the standardised
CCID congestion control plugins (CCID-2 and CCID-3) of DCCP with dccp.ko:

 * enables a faster connection path by eliminating the need to always go 
   through the CCID registration lock;

 * updates the implementation to use only a single array whose size equals
   the number of configured CCIDs instead of the maximum (256);

 * since the CCIDs are now fixed array elements, synchronization is no
   longer needed, simplifying use and implementation.

CCID-2 is suggested as minimum for a basic DCCP implementation (RFC 4340, 10);
CCID-3 is a standards-track CCID supported by RFC 4342 and RFC 5348.

22604c8668 net: Fix for initial link state in 2.6.28
From: Michael Marineau <mike@marineau.org>

Commit b47300168e "Do not fire linkwatch
events until the device is registered." was made as a workaround for
drivers that call netif_carrier_off before registering the device.
Unfortunately this causes these drivers to incorrectly report their
link status as IF_OPER_UNKNOWN which can falsely set the IFF_RUNNING
flag when the interface is first brought up. This issues was
previously pointed out[1] but was dismissed saying that IFF_RUNNING is
not related to the link status. From my digging IFF_RUNNING, as
reported to userspace, is based on the link state. It is set based on
__LINK_STATE_START and IF_OPER_UP or IF_OPER_UNKNOWN. See [2], [3],
and [4]. (Whether or not the kernel has IFF_RUNNING set in flags is
not reported to user space so it may well be independent of the link,
I don't know if and when it may get set.)

The end result depends slightly depending on the driver. The the two I
tested were e1000e and b44. With e1000e if the system is booted
without a network cable attached the interface will falsely report
RUNNING when it is brought up causing NetworkManager to attempt to
start it and eventually time out. With b44 when the system is booted
with a network cable attached and brought up with dhcpcd it will time
out the first time.

The attached patch that will still set the operstate variable
correctly to IF_OPER_UP/DOWN/etc when linkwatch_fire_event is called
but then return rather than skipping the linkwatch_fire_event call
entirely as the previous fix did. (sorry it isn't inline, I don't have
a patch friendly email client at the moment)

5d38a079ce gro: Add page frag support
This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags)
in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list.

It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers
to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating
an skb.  This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's
lro_receive_frags interface.

The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with
or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed
there.

The merging itself is rather simple.  We store any new frag entries
after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first
new entry can be merged with the last existing entry.  Making this
check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can
produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation.

If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a
single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.

077f849de4 firmware: convert tg3 driver to request_firmware()
Firmware blob looks like this...
        u8 firmware_major
        u8 firmware_minor
        u8 firmware_fix
        u8 pad
        __be32 start_address
        __be32 length (total, including BSS sections to be zeroed)
        data... (in __be32 words, which is native for the firmware)

949b42544a firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware()
We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.

We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
take a few dozen bytes in between).

14deae4156 ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.

The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up.  If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.

IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).

So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.

473321fc37 MAINTAINERS: update sparc maintainer
Reflect the current situation where David Miller
is the sparc maintainer.

I have tried to contact Bill on following adresses:

    wli@holomorphy.com
    wlirwin@us.ibm.com

with no success and Bill has not been active on the
sparclinux mailing list for a long time.

As sparc and sparc64 are unified I unified the two entries
in the MAINTAINERS file too.

83c86984bf sparc: unify ipcbuf.h
The ony difference is the size of the mode.
sparc has extra padding to compensate for this.

9e01892c42 module: convert to stop_machine_create/destroy.
The module code relies on a non-failing stop_machine call. So we create
the kstop threads in advance and with that make sure the call won't fail.
