Now that each codec will have its own module, it is possible
for the user to load one codec while another one is running.

So cmd_mutex would be a safe addition to probe_codec().

deadff1665 ALSA: hda: track CIRB/CORB command/response states for each codec
Recently we hit a bug in our dev board, whose HDMI codec#3 may emit
redundant/spurious responses, which were then taken as responses to
command for another onboard Realtek codec#2, and mess up both codecs.

Extend the azx_rb.cmds and azx_rb.res to array and track each codec's
commands/responses separately. This helps keep good codec safe from
broken ones.

449aad3e25 md: Use revalidate_disk to effect changes in size of device.
As revalidate_disk calls check_disk_size_change, it will cause
any capacity change of a gendisk to be propagated to the blockdev
inode.  So use that instead of mucking about with locks and
i_size_write.

Also add a call to revalidate_disk in do_md_run and a few other places
where the gendisk capacity is changed.

64bd660b51 md: allow raid5_quiesce to work properly when reshape is happening.
The ->quiesce method is not supposed to stop resync/recovery/reshape,
just normal IO.
But in raid5 we don't have a way to know which stripes are being
used for normal IO and which for resync etc, so we need to wait for
all stripes to be idle to be sure that all writes have completed.

However reshape keeps at least some stripe busy for an extended period
of time, so a call to raid5_quiesce can block for several seconds
needlessly.
So arrange for reshape etc to pause briefly while raid5_quiesce is
trying to quiesce the array so that the active_stripes count can
drop to zero.

70471dafe3 md: Handle growth of v1.x metadata correctly.
The v1.x metadata does not have a fixed size and can grow
when devices are added.
If it grows enough to require an extra sector of storage,
we need to update the 'sb_size' to match.

Without this, md can write out an incomplete superblock with a
bad checksum, which will be rejected when trying to re-assemble
the array.

3a981b03f3 md: when a level change reduces the number of devices, remove the excess.
When an array is changed from RAID6 to RAID5, fewer drives are
needed.  So any device that is made superfluous by the level
conversion must be marked as not-active.
For the RAID6->RAID5 conversion, this will be a drive which only
has 'Q' blocks on it.

ac5e7113e7 md: Push down data integrity code to personalities.
This patch replaces md_integrity_check() by two new public functions:
md_integrity_register() and md_integrity_add_rdev() which are both
personality-independent.

md_integrity_register() is called from the ->run and ->hot_remove
methods of all personalities that support data integrity.  The
function iterates over the component devices of the array and
determines if all active devices are integrity capable and if their
profiles match. If this is the case, the common profile is registered
for the mddev via blk_integrity_register().

The second new function, md_integrity_add_rdev() is called from the
->hot_add_disk methods, i.e. whenever a new device is being added
to a raid array. If the new device does not support data integrity,
or has a profile different from the one already registered, data
integrity for the mddev is disabled.

For raid0 and linear, only the call to md_integrity_register() from
the ->run method is necessary.

79896cf42f Make pci_claim_resource() use request_resource() rather than insert_resource()
This function has traditionally used "insert_resource()", because before
commit cebd78a8c5 ("Fix pci_claim_resource") it used to just insert the
resource into whatever root resource tree that was indicated by
"pcibios_select_root()".

So there Matthew fixed it to actually look up the proper parent
resource, which means that now it's actively wrong to then traverse the
resource tree any more: we already know exactly where the new resource
should go.

And when we then did commit a76117dfd6 ("x86: Use pci_claim_resource"),
which changed the x86 PCI code from the open-coded

	pr = pci_find_parent_resource(dev, r);
	if (!pr || request_resource(pr, r) < 0) {

to using

	if (pci_claim_resource(dev, idx) < 0) {

that "insert_resource()" now suddenly became a problem, and causes a
regression covered by

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13891

which this fixes.

63097b3ad8 pcnet32: VLB support fixes
VLB support has been broken since at least 2004-2005 period as some
changes introduced back then assumed that ->pci_dev is always valid,
lets try to fix it:

- remove duplicated SET_NETDEV_DEV() call

- call SET_NETDEV_DEV() only for PCI devices

- check for ->pci_dev validity in pcnet32_open()

[ Alternatively we may consider removing VLB support but there would not
  be much gain in it since an extra driver code needed for VLB support is
  minimal and quite simple. ]

a53a8b5682 ppp: fix lost fragments in ppp_mp_explode() (resubmit)
This patch fixes the corner cases where the sum of MTU of the free
channels (adjusted for fragmentation overheads) is less than the MTU
of PPP link.  There are at least 3 situations where this case might
arise:

- some of the channels are busy

- the multilink session is running in a degraded state (i.e. with less
than its full complement of active channels)

- by design, where multilink protocol is being used to artificially
increase the effective link MTU of a single link.

Without this patch, at most 1 fragment is ever sent per free channel
for a given PPP frame and any remaining part of the PPP frame that
does not fit into those fragments is silently discarded.

This patch restores the original behaviour which was broken by commit
9c705260fe 'ppp:ppp_mp_explode()
redesign'.  Once all 'free' channels have been given a fragment, an
additional fragment is queued to each available channel in turn, as many
times as necessary, until the entire PPP frame has been consumed.

7334546a52 eeepc-laptop: fix hot-unplug on resume
OOPS on resume when the wireless adaptor is disabled during suspend was
introduced by "eeepc-laptop: read rfkill soft-blocked state on resume".

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Process s2disk
Tainted: G W
IP: klist_put

Call trace:
? klist_del
? device_del
? device_unregister
? pci_stop_dev
? pci_stop_bus
? pci_remove_device
? eeepc_rfkill_hotplug [eeepc_laptop]
? eeepc_hotk_resume [eeepc_laptop]
? acpi_device_resume
? device_resume
? hibernation_snapshot

It appears the PCI device is removed twice.  The eeepc_rfkill_hotplug()
call from the resume handler is racing against the call from the ACPI
notifier callback.  The ACPI notification is triggered by the resume
handler when it refreshes the value of CM_ASL_WLAN.

The fix is to serialize hotplug calls using a workqueue.

07903af152 sched: Fix race in cpupri introduced by cpumask_var changes
Background:

Several race conditions in the scheduler have cropped up
recently, which Steven and I have tracked down using ftrace.
The most recent one turns out to be a race in how the scheduler
determines a suitable migration target for RT tasks, introduced
recently with commit:

    commit 68e74568fb
    Date:   Tue Nov 25 02:35:13 2008 +1030

        sched: convert struct cpupri_vec cpumask_var_t.

The original design of cpupri allowed lockless readers to
quickly determine a best-estimate target.  Races between the
pri_active bitmap and the vec->mask were handled in the
original code because we would detect and return "0" when this
occured.  The design was predicated on the *effective*
atomicity (*) of caching the result of cpus_and() between the
cpus_allowed and the vec->mask.

Commit 68e74568 changed the behavior such that vec->mask is
accessed multiple times.  This introduces a subtle race, the
result of which means we can have a result that returns "1",
but with an empty bitmap.

*) yes, we know cpus_and() is not a locked operator across the
   entire composite array, but it is implicitly atomic on a
   per-word basis which is all the design required to work.

Implementation:

Rather than forgoing the lockless design, or reverting to a
stack-based cpumask_t, we simply check for when the race has
been encountered and continue processing in the event that the
race is hit.  This renders the removal race as if the priority
bit had been atomically cleared as well, and allows the
algorithm to execute correctly.

e414314cce sched: Fix latencytop and sleep profiling vs group scheduling
The latencytop and sleep accounting code assumes that any
scheduler entity represents a task, this is not so.
