iwlwifi: SCD_INT_MSK is obsolete - don't update it
The scheduler can issue an interrupt when moving the read
pointer. To get this interrupt, the driver needs to
configure what queue can issue an interrupt when its read
pointer moves in the scheduler: this is the SCD_INT_MSK.
The driver also needs to enable the interrupt in
CSR_INT_MASK (bit CSR_INT_BIT_SCD).
Since we don't enable the scheduler interrupt in
CSR_INT_MASK, there is no point in requesting an interrupt
from the scheduler: it will be masked anyway. So don't
configure the scheduler to issue interrupts at all.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.
Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.
Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

tty: Revert the tty locking series, it needs more work
This reverts the tty layer change to use per-tty locking, because it's
not correct yet, and fixing it will require some more deep surgery.
The main revert is d29f3ef39be4 ("tty_lock: Localise the lock"), but
there are several smaller commits that built upon it, they also get
reverted here. The list of reverted commits is:

at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add

cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled
When NetLabel is not enabled, e.g. CONFIG_NETLABEL=n, and the system
receives a CIPSO tagged packet it is dropped (cipso_v4_validate()

behavior, however, in the case where we are simply forwarding the
traffic, e.g. acting as a network bridge, this becomes a problem.
This patch fixes the forwarding problem by providing the basic CIPSO
validation code directly in ip_options_compile() without the need for
the NetLabel or CIPSO code. The new validation code can not perform
any of the CIPSO option label/value verification that
cipso_v4_validate() does, but it can verify the basic CIPSO option
format.
The behavior when NetLabel is enabled is unchanged.
