When remounting reiserfs dquot_suspend() or dquot_resume() can be called.
These functions take dqonoff_mutex which ranks above write lock so we have

 "Bug fixes galore, mostly in drivers as is often the case:

  1) USB gadget and cdc_eem drivers need adjustments to their frame size
     lengths in order to handle VLANs correctly.  From Ian Coolidge.

  2) TIPC and several network drivers erroneously call tasklet_disable
     before tasklet_kill, fix from Xiaotian Feng.

  3) r8169 driver needs to apply the WOL suspend quirk to more chipsets,
     fix from Cyril Brulebois.

  4) Fix multicast filters on RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_35 r8169 chips, from
     Nathan Walp.

  5) FDB netlink dumps should use RTM_NEWNEIGH as the message type, not
     zero.  From John Fastabend.

  6) Fix smsc95xx tx checksum offload on big-endian, from Steve
     Glendinning.

  7) __inet_diag_dump() needs to repsect and report the error value
     returned from inet_diag_lock_handler() rather than ignore it.
     Otherwise if an inet diag handler is not available for a particular
     protocol, we essentially report success instead of giving an error
     indication.  Fix from Cyrill Gorcunov.

  8) When the QFQ packet scheduler sees TSO/GSO packets it does not
     handle things properly, and in fact ends up corrupting it's
     datastructures as well as mis-schedule packets.  Fix from Paolo
     Valente.

  9) Fix oopser in skb_loop_sk(), from Eric Leblond.

  10) CXGB4 passes partially uninitialized datastructures in to FW
      commands, fix from Vipul Pandya.

  11) When we send unsolicited ipv6 neighbour advertisements, we should
      send them to the link-local allnodes multicast address, as per
      RFC4861.  Fix from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  12) There is some kind of bug in the usbnet's kevent deferral
      mechanism, but more immediately when it triggers an uncontrolled
      stream of kernel messages spam the log.  Rate limit the error log
      message triggered when this problem occurs, as sending thousands
      of error messages into the kernel log doesn't help matters at all,
      and in fact makes further diagnosis more difficult.

      From Steve Glendinning.

  13) Fix gianfar restore from hibernation, from Wang Dongsheng.

  14) The netlink message attribute sizes are wrong in the ipv6 GRE
      driver, it was using the size of ipv4 addresses instead of ipv6
      ones :-) Fix from Nicolas Dichtel."

This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.

The bug was introduced in a850a755, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

This adds sparc support for platform_get_irq that in the normal case use
platform_get_resource() to get an irq. This standard approach fails for sparc as
there are no resources of type IORESOURCE_IRQ for irqs for sparc.

Cross platform drivers can then use this standard platform function and work on
sparc instead of having to have a special case for sparc.

If a gianfar ethernet device is down prior to hibernating a
system, it will no longer be present upon system restore.

For example:

	~# ifconfig eth0 down
	~# echo disk > /sys/power/state

	  <trigger a restore from hibernation>

	~# ifconfig eth0 up
	SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device

This happens because the restore function bails out early upon
finding devices that were not up at hibernation.  In doing so,
it never gets to the netif_device_attach call at the end of
the restore function.  Adding the netif_device_attach as done
here also makes the gfar_restore code consistent with what is
done in the gfar_resume code.

Revert commit 03a7beb5 ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a
self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael
Kerrisk, copied below.

We'll revisit this for 3.8.

: I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and
: done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program
: tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...)
:
: There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange,
: so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than
: that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be
: correctly documented.
:
: Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following
: scenario in a multithreaded application:
:
: 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations,
:    and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information
:    corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by
:    epoll_wait().
:
: 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
:    a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and
:    delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache.
:
: 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have
:    previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information
:    about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using
:    information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus,
:    there is a potential race.
:
: 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing
:    so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait()
:    call, which would of course blow thread concurrency.
:
: Right?
:
: Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to
: confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since
: the description that has accompanied the patches so far
: has been a bit sparse
:
: 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file
:    descriptor means (safely) doing the following:
:    (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list
:        using EPOLL_CTL_DEL
:    (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache
:
: 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in
:    conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT.
:
: 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in
:    conjunction is a logical error.
:
: 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using
:    EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows:
:
:    a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should
:       should EPOLLONESHOT.
:
:    b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it
:       should do the following:
:
:       [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
:       [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE)
:           was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely
:           deleted by the thread that made this call.
:       [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY,
:           then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling
:           thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to
:           indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor
:           should perform the deletion operation.
:
: Is all of the above correct?
:
: The implementation depends on checking on whether
: (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0
: This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always
: set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT
: causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be
: cleared.
:
: A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE
: is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things
: stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does
: not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following
: (slightly surprising) behavior:
:
: (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0
:     (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted).
: (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY.
:
: This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an
: indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using
: epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which
: EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it
: not make sense to return an error to user space for this case?

Some comment styles in net and drivers/net are flagged inappropriately.

Avoid proclaiming inline comments like:
	int a = b;	/* some comment */
and block comments like:
	/*********************
	 * some comment
	 ********************/
are defective.

Tested with
$ cat drivers/net/t.c
/* foo */

/*
 * foo
 */

/* foo
 */

/* foo
 * bar */

/****************************
 * some long block comment
 ***************************/

struct foo {
	int bar;	/* another test */
};

Merge branch 'drm-nouveau-fixes' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6 into drm-fixes

just some misc regression fixes and typo fixes.

* 'drm-nouveau-fixes' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6:
  drm/nouveau: fix acpi edid retrieval
  drm/nvc0/disp: fix regression in vblank semaphore release
  drm/nv40/mpeg: fix context handling
  drm/nv40/graph: fix typo in type names
  drm/nv41/vm: fix typo in type name

Virtio wants to release used indices after the corresponding
virtio device has been unregistered. However, virtio does not
hold an extra reference, giving up its last reference with
device_unregister(), making accessing dev->index afterwards
invalid.

I actually saw problems when testing my (not-yet-merged)
virtio-ccw code:

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> creates device virtio<n> with n>0

- device_del xxx
-> deletes virtio<n>, but calls ida_simple_remove with an
   index of 0

- device_add virtio-net,id=xxx
-> tries to add virtio0, which is still in use...

So let's save the index we want to release before calling
device_unregister().

Commit c0077061 accidentally inverted the logic for nouveau_acpi_edid,
causing it to only show a connector as connected when the edid could not
be retrieved with acpi.
