Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "The first part of the media updates for Kernel 3.7.

  This series contain:

   - A major tree renaming patch series: now, drivers are organized
     internally by their used bus, instead of by V4L2 and/or DVB API,
     providing a cleaner driver location for hybrid drivers that
     implement both APIs, and allowing to cleanup the Kconfig items and
     make them more intuitive for the end user;

   - Media Kernel developers are typically very lazy with their duties
     of keeping the MAINTAINERS entries for their drivers updated.  As
     now the tree is more organized, we're doing an effort to add/update
     those entries for the drivers that aren't currently orphan;

   - Several DVB USB drivers got moved to a new DVB USB v2 core; the new
     core fixes several bugs (as the existing one that got bitroted).
     Now, suspend/resume finally started to work fine (at least with
     some devices - we should expect more work with regards to it);

   - added multistream support for DVB-T2, and unified the API for
     DVB-S2 and ISDB-S.  Backward binary support is preserved;

   - as usual, a few new drivers, some V4L2 core improvements and lots
     of drivers improvements and fixes.

  There are some points to notice on this series:

   1) you should expect a trivial merge conflict on your tree, with the
      removal of Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt: this series
      would be adding two additional entries there.  I opted to not
      rebase it due to this recent change;

   2) With regards to the PCTV 520e udev-related breakage, I opted to
      fix it in a way that the patches can be backported to 3.5 even
      without your firmware fix patch.  This way, Greg doesn't need to
      rush backporting your patch (as there are still the firmware cache
      and firmware path customization issues to be addressed there).

      I'll send later a patch (likely after the end of the merge window)
      reverting the rest of the DRX-K async firmware request, fully
      restoring its original behaviour to allow media drivers to
      initialize everything serialized as before for 3.7 and upper.

   3) I'm planning to work on this weekend to test the DMABUF patches
      for V4L2.  The patches are on my queue for several Kernel cycles,
      but, up to now, there is/was no way to test the series locally.

      I have some concerns about this particular changeset with regards
      to security issues, and with regards to the replacement of the old
      VIDIOC_OVERLAY ioctl's that is broken on modern systems, due to
      GPU drivers change.  The Overlay API allows direct PCI2PCI
      transfers from a media capture card into the GPU framebuffer, but
      its API is crappy.  Also, the only existing X11 driver that
      implements it requires a XV extension that is not available
      anymore on modern drivers.  The DMABUF can do the same thing, but
      with it is promising to be a properly-designed API.  If I can
      successfully test this series and be happy with it, I should be
      asking you to pull them next week."

Pull UAPI disintegration fixes from David Howells:
 "There are three main parts:

 (1) I found I needed some more fixups in the wake of testing Arm64
     (some asm/unistd.h files had weird guards that caused problems -
     mostly in arches for which I don't have a compiler) and some
     __KERNEL__ splitting needed to take place in Arm64.

 (2) I found that c6x was missing some __KERNEL__ guards in its
     asm/signal.h.  Mark Salter pointed me at a tree with a patch to
     remove that file entirely and use the asm-generic variant instead.

 (3) Lastly, m68k turned out to have a header installation problem due
     to it lacking a kvm_para.h file.

     The conditional installation bits for linux/kvm_para.h, linux/kvm.h
     and linux/a.out.h weren't very well specified - and didn't work if
     an arch didn't have the asm/ version of that file, but there *was*
     an asm-generic/ version.

     It seems the "ifneq $((wildcard ...),)" for each of those three
     headers in include/kernel/Kbuild is invoked twice during header
     installation, and the second time it matches on the just installed
     asm-generic/kvm_para.h file and thus incorrectly installs
     linux/kvm_para.h as well.

     Most arches actually have an asm/kvm_para.h, so this wasn't
     detectable in those."

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:

  Features:
   * Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
     on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions).  PV
     console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
  Bug-fixes:
   * Fix compile linux-next fallout.
   * Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.

  The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
  ARMv7 platforms.

  The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
  as much as possible.  That means use as little as possible of PV
  operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
  (network, block, console, etc).  This is similar to how PVHVM guests
  operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
  for QEMU.  The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
  drivers and infrastructure.

  Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:

    http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions

  and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
  overall architecture:

Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in
__reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case
that the recursive calls are too deep.  Convert the recursive calls to an
iterative loop to avoid the problem.

Tested on a machine containing 135 regions.  The kernel no longer panicked
with stack overflow.

Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict,
embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive

Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the
default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on
usable AoE addresses.  Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made
the old limitations too confining.

These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default,
removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses.

The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the
aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space
counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a
mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a
special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot)
address to identify a particular storage target.  These changes remove an
artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses.
For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15,
but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that.

The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely.  Instead of
using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor
number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand.

In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote
interface on the AoE storage target.  The latter is identified by its AoE
major and minor addresses.  Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage
target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote
MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target.

That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major,
AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor).
Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially
when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable.

A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher
than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver.

There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome this
limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until then,
this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when
AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE network.

The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
an AoE config query response.  Normally when an aoe device is already
open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.

The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
identify command, even when the device is open.

This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
discovery sequence.  The responses could come back in any order, so this
change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit
on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the
AoE block device is considered to have failed.

Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote
interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've
tried to recover by sending to a different remote port.

As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by
its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple
MAC addresses.  However, note that "target" in the driver code and
comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to
send packets".

Users with several network interfaces dedicated to AoE generally do not
configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose.

For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces
that can reach it.  Using only the payload that will fit in the
smallest-sized MTU of all those local interfaces greatly simplifies the
driver, especially in failure scenarios.

The dev_queue_xmit function needs to have interrupts enabled, so the most

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular
workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an
I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver.

We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising.  We manipulate
the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee
that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios
containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now
exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation.

Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the
network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with
a "pool" of skbs.[2]

Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's
diskstats function can go away.

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.

The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.

Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of
segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs)
and the network layer (skb frag array).  The motivation is the performance
gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by
using the network card's scatter gather feature.

Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since
early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and
higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears
related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the
harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg.

Add discard support to nbd.  If the nbd-server supports discard, it will
send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client.  The client will then set the flag
in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards
for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a
discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server.  When the
discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform:

	fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..)

To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd
device.  This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable
read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.).

Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server.  During the negotiation
phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client.
The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options.

Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

Modify mport initialization routine to run the RapidIO discovery process
asynchronously.  This allows to have an arbitrary order of enumerating and
discovering ports in systems with multiple RapidIO controllers without
creating a deadlock situation if enumerator port is registered after a
discovering one.

Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent net ID assignment in
multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process (global
counter implementation is affected by race between threads).
