i2c/eeprom: Fall back to SMBus read word transactions
When I2C block reads are not supported by the underlying adapter, use
SMBus read word transactions instead of consecutive byte reads.
Reasons for this change are:
* The consecutive byte read approach is not safe on multi-master buses.
* While consecutive byte reads have less overhead if you only count the
bytes on the bus, it takes more than twice as many transactions as
with SMBus read word transactions, and each transaction has a cost:
taking and releasing the adapter mutex, and for polling drivers,
waiting for the transaction to complete.
This change yields a significant performance boost at HZ=250 with
EEPROMs on an Intel 82801 bus (basically twice as fast.)
SMBus read word transactions are widely supported so I don't expect
compatibility issues.

i2c: Let bus drivers add SPD to their class
Let general purpose I2C/SMBus bus drivers add SPD to their class. Once
this is done, we will be able to tell the eeprom driver to only probe
for SPD EEPROMs and similar on these buses.
Note that I took a conservative approach here, adding I2C_CLASS_SPD to
many drivers that have no idea whether they can host SPD EEPROMs or not.
This is to make sure that the eeprom driver doesn't stop probing buses
where SPD EEPROMs or equivalent live.
So, bus driver maintainers and users should feel free to remove the SPD
class from drivers those buses never have SPD EEPROMs or they don't
want the eeprom driver to bind to them. Likewise, feel free to add the
SPD class to any bus driver I might have missed.

Commit f18f982ab ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
described below:
/*
* Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
* and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
* code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
* which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
*/
The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
for !CPUSETS case.
With f18f982ab, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
CPUSETS code:
Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
__migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
"offline" when this function is called).
try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
-> oops.

This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating

Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.
It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

the xoff state is not cleared. We're stuck.
Normally xoff state is cleared when netdev is brought up. But

c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...
Kernel Bugzilla #11063 points out that on some architectures (e.g. x86_32)
exec'ing an ELF without a PT_GNU_STACK program header should default to an
executable stack; but this got broken by the unlimited argv feature because
stack vma is now created before the right personality has been established:
so breaking old binaries using nested function trampolines.
Therefore re-evaluate VM_STACK_FLAGS in setup_arg_pages, where stack
vm_flags used to be set, before the mprotect_fixup. Checking through
our existing VM_flags, none would have changed since insert_vm_struct:
so this seems safer than finding a way through the personality labyrinth.

Fix PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU
PREEMPT_RCU without HOTPLUG_CPU is broken. The rcu_online_cpu is called
to initially populate rcu_cpu_online_map with all online CPUs when the
hotplug event handler is installed, and also to populate the map with
CPUs as they come online. The former case is meant to happen with and
without HOTPLUG_CPU, but without HOTPLUG_CPU, the rcu_offline_cpu
function is no-oped -- while it still gets called, it does not set the
rcu CPU map.
With a blank RCU CPU map, grace periods get to tick by completely
oblivious to active RCU read side critical sections. This results in
free-before-grace bugs.
Fix is obvious once the problem is known. (Also, change __devinit to
__cpuinit so the function gets thrown away on !HOTPLUG_CPU kernels).

ocfs2: Fix flags in ocfs2_file_lock
The stack-glue merge changed the way we use flags in dlmglue in that we now
use the fs/dlm equivalents. Unfortunately, a merge error left the new flock
code only partially updated. This took a while to show up though, because
the lock level constants are actually identical between o2dlm and fs/dlm.
The *_CONVERT and *_NOQUEUE flags have different values though, which is
eventually causing a crash in flags_to_o2dlm().
Add ioremap_default(), which gives a sane mapping without worrying about
type conflicts.
Use it in /dev/mem read in place of ioremap(), as with ioremap(),
any mapping of the region (other than UC_MINUS) will cause a conflict
and failure of /dev/mem read.
I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one
may end up looping endlessly.
Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is
called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push
a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly.

netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp: fix endless loop
When a conntrack entry is destroyed in process context and destruction
is interrupted by packet processing and the packet is an attempt to
reopen a closed connection, TCP conntrack tries to kill the old entry
itself and returns NF_REPEAT to pass the packet through the hook
again. This may lead to an endless loop: TCP conntrack repeatedly
finds the old entry, but can not kill it itself since destruction
is already in progress, but destruction in process context can not
complete since TCP conntrack is keeping the CPU busy.
Drop the packet in TCP conntrack if we can't kill the connection
ourselves to avoid this.

If a mesh or ad-hoc interface is brought up and later it is replaced
by managed interface, the managed interface will keep transmitting
the beacons that were configured for the former interface. This patch
fixes that behaviour.
