Fix the issue with improper counting number of flying bio requests for BIO_EOPNOTSUPP error detection case. The sb_nbio must be incremented exactly the same number of times as complete() function was called (or will be called) because nilfs_segbuf_wait() will call wail_for_completion() for the number of times set to sb_nbio: do { wait_for_completion(&segbuf->sb_bio_event); } while (--segbuf->sb_nbio > 0); Two functions complete() and wait_for_completion() must be called the same number of times for the same sb_bio_event. Otherwise, wait_for_completion() will hang or leak.

Being a low-level component, various drivers (e.g. olpc-battery) assume that it is ok to communicate with the OLPC Embedded Controller during probe. Therefore the OLPC EC driver must be initialised before other drivers try to use it. This was the case until it was recently moved out of arch/x86 and restructured around commits ac250415 ("Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver") and 85f90cf6 ("x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86"). Use arch_initcall so that olpc-ec is readied earlier, matching the previous behaviour. Fixes a regression introduced in Linux-3.6 where various drivers such as olpc-battery and olpc-xo1-sci failed to load due to an inability to communicate with the EC. The user-visible effect was a lack of battery monitoring, missing ebook/lid switch input devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Cc: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> Cc: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit df54d6fa. The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't specified. In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774 So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch for that. Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

This fixes a regression exposed during the merge window by commit 9f310ded "ARM: tegra: fix VBUS regulator GPIO polarity in DT"; namely that USB VBUS doesn't get turned on, so USB devices are not detected. This affects the internal USB port on TrimSlice (i.e. the USB->SATA bridge, to which the SSD is connected) and the external port(s) on Seaboard/ Springbank and Whistler. The Tegra DT as written in v3.11 allows two paths to enable USB VBUS: 1) Via the legacy DT binding for the USB controller; it can directly acquire a VBUS GPIO and activate it. 2) Via a regulator for VBUS, which is referenced by the new DT binding for the USB controller. Those two methods both use the same GPIO, and hence whichever of the USB controller and regulator gets probed first ends up owning the GPIO. In practice, the USB driver only supports path (1) above, since the patches to support the new USB binding are not present until v3.12:-( In practice, the regulator ends up being probed first and owning the GPIO. Since nothing enables the regulator (the USB driver code is not yet present), the regulator ends up being turned off. This originally caused no problem, because the polarity in the regulator definition was incorrect, so attempting to turn off the regulator actually turned it on, and everything worked:-( However, when testing the new USB driver code in v3.12, I noticed the incorrect polarity and fixed it in commit 9f310ded "ARM: tegra: fix VBUS regulator GPIO polarity in DT". In the context of v3.11, this patch then caused the USB VBUS to actually turn off, which broke USB ports with VBUS control. I got this patch included in v3.11-rc1 since it fixed a bug in device tree (incorrect polarity specification), and hence was suitable to be included early in the rc series. I evidently did not test the patch at all, or correctly, in the context of v3.11, and hence did not notice the issue that I have explained above:-( Fix this by making the USB VBUS regulators always enabled. This way, if the regulator owns the GPIO, it will always be turned on, even if there is no USB driver code to request the regulator be turned on. Even ignoring this bug, this is a reasonable way to configure the HW anyway. If this patch is applied to v3.11, it will cause a couple pretty trivial conflicts in tegra20-{trimslice,seaboard}.dts when creating v3.12, since the context right above the added lines changed in patches destined for v3.12.

Already existing property flags are filled wrong for properties created from initial FDT. This could cause problems if this DYNAMIC device-tree functions are used later, i.e. properties are attached/detached/replaced. Simply dumping flags from the running system show, that some initial static (not allocated via kzmalloc()) nodes are marked as dynamic. I putted some debug extensions to property_proc_show(..) : .. + if (OF_IS_DYNAMIC(pp)) + pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DYNAMIC\n"); + if (OF_IS_DETACHED(pp)) + pr_err("DEBUG: xxx : OF_IS_DETACHED\n"); when you operate on the nodes (e.g.: ~$ cat /proc/device-tree/*some_node*) you will see that those flags are filled wrong, basically in most cases it will dump a DYNAMIC or DETACHED status, which is in not true. (BTW. this OF_IS_DETACHED is a own define for debug purposes which which just make a test_bit(OF_DETACHED, &x->_flags) If nodes are dynamic kernel is allowed to kfree() them. But it will crash attempting to do so on the nodes from FDT -- they are not allocated via kzmalloc().

In macvtap, tap_features specific the features of that the user has specified via ioctl(). If we treat macvtap as a macvlan+tap then we could all the tap a pseudo-device and give it other features like SG and GSO. Then we can stop using the features of lower device (macvlan) when forwarding the traffic the tap. This solves the issue of possible checksum offload mismatch between tap feature and macvlan features. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
