      Revert "ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty directories to be interrupted" · 9f2394c9
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 1028b55b.
      
      It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing
      the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful
      directory entry into the position field, which means that the next
      readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_.
      
      You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory
      walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors
      (that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in
      the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry.
      
      I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()"
      handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while
      that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four
      times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today.
      
      So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align
      better before that one gets committed.  And it would be good to get some
      review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy
      debugging model.
      
      IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.

      Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
       "Since commit 0de79858 ("parisc: Use generic extable search and
        sort routines") module loading is boken on parisc, because the parisc
        module loader wasn't prepared for the new R_PARISC_PCREL32 relocations.
      
        In addition, due to that breakage, Mikulas Patocka noticed that
        handling exceptions from modules probably never worked on parisc.  It
        was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen
        during normal use.
      
        This patch series fixes those issues and survives the tests of the
        lib/test_user_copy kernel module test.  Some patches are tagged for
        stable"

       "Three fixes, the first two are tagged for -stable:
      
         - The ndctl utility/library gained expanded unit tests illuminating a

           implementation.
      
           It has been broken since its initial implementation, now fixed.
      
         - Another one line fix for the detection of stale info blocks.
      
           Without this change userspace can get into a situation where it is
           unable to reconfigure a namespace.
      
         - Fix the badblock initialization path in the presence of the new (in
           v4.6-rc1) section alignment workarounds.
      
           Without this change badblocks will be reported at the wrong offset.
      
        These have received a build success report from the kbuild robot and

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij:
       "Here is a set of four GPIO fixes.  The two fixes to the core are
        serious as they are regressing minor architectures.
      
        Core fixes:
      
         - Defer GPIO device setup until after gpiolib is initialized.
      
           It turns out that a few very tightly integrated GPIO platform
           drivers initialize so early (befor core_initcall()) so that the
           gpiolib isn't even initialized itself.  That limits what the
           library can do, and we cannot reference uninitialized fields until
           later.
      
           Defer some of the initialization until right after the gpiolib is
           initialized in these (rare) cases.
      
         - As a consequence: do not use devm_* resources when allocating the
           states in the initial set-up of the gpiochip.
      
        Driver fixes:
      
         - In ACPI retrieveal: ignore GpioInt when looking for output GPIOs.
      
         - Fix legacy builds on the PXA without a backing pin controller.
      
         - Use correct datatype on pca953x register writes"
