This reverts commit 16200948.

The commit was intended to cover the race condition, but it introduced
yet another regression for devices with the implicit feedback, leading
to a kernel panic due to NULL-dereference in an irq context.

As the race condition that was addressed by the commit is very rare
and the regression is much worse, let's revert the commit for rc1, and
fix the issue properly in a later patch.

sctp: fix the issue that may copy duplicate addrs into assoc's bind address list

Patch 1/2 is to fix some indent level.

Given that we have kernels out there with this issue, patch 2/2 also
fix sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs.

v1 -> v2:
  Explain why we didn't filter the duplicate addresses when global
  address list gets updated in patch 2/2 changelog.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

sctp.local_addr_list is a global address list that is supposed to include
all the local addresses. sctp updates this list according to NETDEV_UP/
NETDEV_DOWN notifications.

However, if multiple NICs have the same address, the global list would
have duplicate addresses. Even if for one NIC, promote secondaries in
__inet_del_ifa can also lead to accumulating duplicate addresses.

When sctp binds address 'ANY' and creates a connection, it copies all
the addresses from global list into asoc's bind addr list, which makes
sctp pack the duplicate addresses into INIT/INIT_ACK packets.

This patch is to filter the duplicate addresses when copying the addrs
from global list in sctp_copy_local_addr_list and unpacking addr_param
from cookie in sctp_raw_to_bind_addrs to asoc's bind addr list.

Note that we can't filter the duplicate addrs when global address list
gets updated, As NETDEV_DOWN event may remove an addr that still exists
in another NIC.

phy: Fix integration of eee-broken-modes

The purpose of this series is to fix the integration of the ethernet phy
property "eee-broken-modes" [0]

The v3 of this series has been merged, missing a fix (error reported by
kbuild robot) available in the v4 [1]

More importantly, Florian opposed adding a DT property mapping a device
register this directly [2]. The concern was that the property could be
abused to implement platform configuration policy. After discussing it,
I think we agreed that such information about the HW (defect) should appear
in the platform DT. However, the preferred way is to add a boolean property
for each EEE broken mode.

The patches regarding eee-broken-modes was merged before all people
involved could find an agreement on the best way to move forward.

While we agreed on having a DT property to mark particular modes as broken,
the value used for eee-broken-modes mapped the phy register in very direct
way. Because of this, the concern is that it could be used to implement
configuration policies instead of describing a broken HW.

In the end, having a boolean property for each mode seems to be preferred
over one bit field value mapping the register (too) directly.

The macro is to be used similarly as WARN_ON as:

  if (WARN_ON_RATELIMIT(condition, state))
	do_something();

One would expect only 'condition' to affect the 'if', but
WARN_ON_RATELIMIT does internally only:

  WARN_ON((condition) && __ratelimit(state))

So the 'if' is affected by the ratelimiting state too.  Fix this by
returning 'condition' in any case.

Note that nobody uses WARN_ON_RATELIMIT yet, so there is nothing to
worry about.  But I was about to use it and was a bit surprised.

When FADV_DONTNEED cannot drop all pages in the range, it observes that
some pages might still be on per-cpu LRU caches after recent
instantiation and so initiates remote calls to all CPUs to flush their
local caches.  However, in most cases, the fadvise happens from the same
context that instantiated the pages, and any pre-LRU pages in the
specified range are most likely sitting on the local CPU's LRU cache,
and so in many cases this results in unnecessary remote calls, which, in
a loaded system, can hold up the fadvise() call significantly.

[ I didn't record it in the extreme case we observed at Facebook,
  unfortunately. We had a slow-to-respond system and noticed it
  lru_add_drain_all() leading the profile during fadvise calls. This
  patch came out of thinking about the code and how we commonly call
  FADV_DONTNEED.

  FWIW, I wrote a silly directory tree walker/searcher that recurses
  through /usr to read and FADV_DONTNEED each file it finds. On a 2
  socket 40 ht machine, over 1% is spent in lru_add_drain_all(). With
  the patch, that cost is gone; the local drain cost shows at 0.09%. ]

Try to avoid the remote call by flushing the local LRU cache before even
attempting to invalidate anything.  It's a cheap operation, and the
local LRU cache is the most likely to hold any pre-LRU pages in the
specified fadvise range.

be platform-independent.  Therefore integer fields to be hashed must be
converted to canonical format.

The IMA binary_runtime_measurements list is currently in platform native
format.

To allow restoring a measurement list carried across kexec with a
different endianness than the targeted kernel, this patch defines
little-endian as the canonical format.  For big endian systems wanting
to save/restore the measurement list from a system with a different
endianness, a new boot command line parameter named "ima_canonical_fmt"
is defined.

Considerations: use of the "ima_canonical_fmt" boot command line option
will break existing userspace applications on big endian systems
expecting the binary_runtime_measurements list to be in platform native
format.
