A couple of changes to the Tegra maintainership setup: I'm very glad to bring on Stephen Warren on board as a maintainer. The work he has done so far is excellent, and the fact that he works for Nvidia means he has long-term interest in the platform. Erik Gilling did an astounding amount of work on getting things up and running but has been a silent partner on the maintainership side for a while, and is stepping down. Thanks for your contributions so far, Erik. Finally, update the git URL since I'll take over running the main repo for a while. Overall maintainership model isn't changing much at this time: We'll all three review patches as appropriate, and one of us will collect the main repo (me at this time).

In summary, this DMI quirk uses the _CRS info by default for the ASUS M2V-MX SE by turning on `pci=use_crs` and is similar to the quirk added by commit 2491762c ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further information.

This resolves a regression seen by some users of bridging. Some users use the bridge like a dummy device. They expect to be able to put an IPv6 address on the device with no ports attached. Although there are better ways of doing this, there is no reason to not allow it. Note: the bridge still will reflect the state of ports in the bridge if there are any added.

lost_skb_hint is used by tcp_mark_head_lost() to mark the first unhandled skb. lost_cnt_hint is the number of packets or sacked packets before the lost_skb_hint; When shifting a skb that is before the lost_skb_hint, if tcp_is_fack() is ture, the skb has already been counted in the lost_cnt_hint; if tcp_is_fack() is false, tcp_sacktag_one() will increase the lost_cnt_hint. So tcp_shifted_skb() does not need to adjust the lost_cnt_hint by itself. When shifting a skb that is equal to lost_skb_hint, the shifted packets will not be counted by tcp_mark_head_lost(). So tcp_shifted_skb() should adjust the lost_cnt_hint even tcp_is_fack(tp) is true. Signed-off-by: Zheng Yan <zheng.z.yan@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Add the ability to disable PCI-E MPS turning and using the BIOS configured MPS defaults. Due to the number of issues recently discovered on some x86 chipsets, make this the default behavior. Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration. Peer to peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different than the MPS on another. To work around this, simply make the system wide MPS the smallest possible value (128B).

Commit 2a7fade7 ("hwmon: lis3: Power on corrections") caused a regression on HP laptops with 8bit chip. Writing CTRL2_BOOT_8B bit seems clearing the BIOS setup, and no proper interrupt for DriveGuard will be triggered any more. Since the init code there is basically only for embedded devices, put a pdata check so that the problematic initialization will be skipped for hp_accel stuff.

Simon Kirby reported that on his RAID setup with idedisk underneath the box OOMs after a couple of days of runtime. Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK pointed to idedisk_prep_fn() which unconditionally allocates an ide_cmd struct. However, ide_requeue_and_plug() can be called more than once per request, either from the request issue or the IRQ handler path and do blk_peek_request() ends up in idedisk_prep_fn() repeatedly, allocating a struct ide_cmd everytime and "forgetting" the previous pointer. Make sure the code reuses the old allocated chunk.

This is a minor change. Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS, ...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed on a drop: drop_n_acct: po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops); As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter, which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are: ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ... non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74. Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead, it's just more messy.
