38e2bfc94e USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".

The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
it's not always available.

I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

7e96287ddc [PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line option
Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly
operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices).  This option can be
used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset
during initialization.

This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable
environment.  For ex.  during kdump boot where devices are in unknown
random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.

930e652a21 [PATCH] NOMMU: Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions
Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions.

This can be tested by running this in one shell:

	#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
		do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

	int main()
	{
		int shmid, tmp, *f, n;

		shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
		SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

		f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

		n = *f;
		printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n);
		tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
		printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp);

		tmp = shmdt(f);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

		exit(0);
	}

And then this in the other shell:

	#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
		do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

	int main()
	{
		int shmid, tmp, *f;

		shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
		SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

		f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

		(*f)++;
		printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f);
		tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
		printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp);

		tmp = shmdt(f);
		SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

		exit(0);
	}

The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it
for the number at the start to change.  The program will increment that number
and wake the first program up.  This leads to output of the form:

	SHELL 1			SHELL 2
	=======================	=======================
	# /dowait
	WAIT: 0xc32ac000{0}
				# /dowake
				WAKE: 0xc32ac000{1}
	WAITED: 0		WOKE: 1

that it doesn't exceed the size of the slab object in which the storage is

Moving VMAs (as permitted by MREMAP_MAYMOVE) is not currently supported.

This patch also makes use of the fact that the VMA list is now ordered to cut
it short when possible.

Add a mandatory chip_addr parameter to i2c-stub. This parameter
defines to which chip address the driver will respond, instead of
reponding to all addresses as before. The idea is to prevent the

the results of sensors-detect or other user-space tools.

i2c-isa doesn't make much sense in the device driver model. Drivers
relying on it are better implemented as platform drivers. We must
wait for recent versions of libsensors (2.10.0 or later) to be widely
deployed beforehand, though. This move should also make it easier to
convert i2c-core to the device driver model.

0ff38490c8 [PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim
Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.  Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.

However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs.  We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab.  Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages.  However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).

This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim.  Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation.  At that point we

1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
   pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.

2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
   (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
   are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).

The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific.  So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit.  I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.

The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%

Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

0637a70a5d [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing conf1
Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses
happen for some non existent devices.  i386/x86-64 do some early
device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable
this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early
accesses which are always type1.

This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.
I don't think this can break anything because it only changes
a single global that is only used by PCI.

4fc0840006 updated Documentation/power/devices.txt
This turned into a rewrite of Documentation/power/devices.txt:

 - Provide more of the "big picture"

 - Fixup some of the horribly ancient/obsolete description of device suspend()
   semantics; lots of text just got deleted.

 - Add a decent description of PM_EVENT_* codes, including the new PRETHAW code
   needed in some swsusp scenarios.

 - Describe the new PM factorization from Linus:
     * class suspend, current suspend, then suspend_late
     * NOT suspend_prepare, it wasn't really usable
     * resume_early, current resume, class resume.

 - Updates power/state docs to be correct, and deprecate its usage except for
   driver testing.

d81d9d6b9f deprecate PHYSDEV* keys
deprecate PHYSDEV* values in the uevent environment

These values are no longer needed and inconsistent with the
stacking of class devices. The event environment should not
carry properties of a parent device. The key PHYSDEVDRIVER is
available as DRIVER, PHYDEVBUS is indentical SUBSYSTEM. Class
devices should not carry any of these values.

f5b2b966f0 [PATCH] bonding: Validate probe replies in ARP monitor
Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP
monitor link integrity checking.

	The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it
has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic.
For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common
switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will
update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.
