29e350944f splice: add SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag
It doesn't make the splice itself necessarily nonblocking (because the
actual file descriptors that are spliced from/to may block unless they
have the O_NONBLOCK flag set), but it makes the splice pipe operations
nonblocking.

856d08ec46 [PATCH] powerpc: iSeries needs slb_initialize to be called
Since the powerpc 64k pages patch went in, systems that have SLBs
(like Power4 iSeries) needed to have slb_initialize called to set up
some variables for the SLB miss handler.  This was not being called
on the boot processor on iSeries, so on single cpu iSeries machines,
we would get apparent memory curruption as soon as we entered user mode.

This patch fixes that by calling slb_initialize on the boot cpu if the
processor has an SLB.

34422fed65 [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: misc lparcfg fixes
This fixes several problems with the lparcfg code.  In case
someone gets a sense of deja-vu, part of this was submitted last Sep, I
thought the changes went in, but either got backed out, or just got
lost.

First, change the local_buffer declaration to be unsigned char *.  We
had a bad-math problem in a 2.4 tree which was built with a
"-fsigned-char" parm.  I dont believe we ever build with that parm
now-a-days, but to be safe, I'd prefer the declaration be explicit.

Second, fix a bad math calculation for splpar_strlen.

Third, on the rtas_call for get-system-parameter, pass in
RTAS_DATA_BUF_SIZE for the rtas_data_buf size, instead of letting random
data determine the size.   Until recently, we've had a sufficiently
large 'random data' value get passed in, so the function just happens to
have worked OK.   Now it's getting passed a '0', which causes the
rtas_call to return success, but no data shows up in the buffer.
(oops!).   This was found by the LTC test org.

This is in a branch of code that only gets run on SPLPAR systems.
Tested on power5 Lpar.

e695633e21 [IPSEC]: Kill unused decap state argument
This patch removes the decap_state argument from the xfrm input hook.
Previously this function allowed the input hook to share state with
the post_input hook.  The latter has since been removed.

The only purpose for it now is to check the encap type.  However, it
is easier and better to move the encap type check to the generic
xfrm_rcv function.  This allows us to get rid of the decap state
argument altogether.

6f25f3986a [SPARC64]: Make tsb_sync() mm comparison more precise.
switch_mm() changes the mm state and does a tsb_context_switch()
first, then we do the cpu register state switch which changes
current_thread_info() and current().

So it's safer to check the PGD physical address stored in the
trap block (which will be updated by the tsb_context_switch() in
switch_mm()) than current->active_mm.

Technically we should never run here in between those two
updates, because interrupts are disabled during the entire
context switch operation.  But some day we might like to leave
interrupts enabled during the context switch and this change
allows that to happen without any surprises.

e9917a000f [CIFS] Incorrect signature sent on SMB Read
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147

For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request.  The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled  cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.

This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.

Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).

Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

108b42b4b9 [PATCH] Document Linux's memory barriers [try #7]
The attached patch documents the Linux kernel's memory barriers.

I've updated it from the comments I've been given.

The per-arch notes sections are gone because it's clear that there are so many
exceptions, that it's not worth having them.

I've added a list of references to other documents.

I've tried to get rid of the concept of memory accesses appearing on the bus;
what matters is apparent behaviour with respect to other observers in the
system.

Interrupts barrier effects are now considered to be non-existent. They may be
there, but you may not rely on them.

I've added a couple of definition sections at the top of the document: one to
specify the minimum execution model that may be assumed, the other to specify
what this document refers to by the term "memory".

I've made greater mention of the use of mmiowb().

I've adjusted the way in which caches are described, and described the fun
that can be had with cache coherence maintenance being unordered and data
dependency not being necessarily implicit.

I've described (smp_)read_barrier_depends().

I've rearranged the order of the sections, so that memory barriers are
discussed in abstract first, and then described the memory barrier facilities
available on Linux, before going on to more real-world discussions and examples.

I've added information about the lack of memory barriering effects with atomic
ops and bitops.

I've added information about control dependencies.

I've added more diagrams to illustrate caching interactions between CPUs.

4286229868 [PATCH] wrong error path in dup_fd() leading to oopses in RCU
Wrong error path in dup_fd() - it should return NULL on error,
not an address of already freed memory :/

Triggered by OpenVZ stress test suite.

What is interesting is that it was causing different oopses in RCU like
below:
Call Trace:

a58e00e7da [PATCH] Decrease number of pointer derefs in jsm_tty.c
Decrease the number of pointer derefs in drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_tty.c

Benefits of the patch:
 - Fewer pointer dereferences should make the code slightly faster.
 - Size of generated code is smaller
 - Improved readability
