df89820ebd [CRYPTO] cipher: Removed special IV checks for ECB
This patch makes IV operations on ECB fail through nocrypt_iv rather than
calling BUG().  This is needed to generalise CBC/ECB using the template
mechanism.

560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.

This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.

Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm.  The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

2b8c19dbdc [CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
cbc(aes)) are always created.

This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users.  For more complex
cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
in user-space.

6521f30273 [CRYPTO] api: Add crypto_alg reference counting
Up until now we've relied on module reference counting to ensure that the
crypto_alg structures don't disappear from under us.  This was good enough
as long as each crypto_alg came from exactly one module.

However, with parameterised crypto algorithms a crypto_alg object may need
two or more modules to operate.  This means that we need to count the
references to the crypto_alg object directly.

Previously the __aligned__ attribute was added to the crypto_tfm context

Unfortunately kmalloc does not use the same minimum alignment rules as

1534c3820c [S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus.
Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can
be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That
makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer
to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point
in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when
a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some
fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or
continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ
(see poll_thread parameter).

The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes,
ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains
to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices
to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between
two ap bus scans to find new devices.

The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload
the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are:
3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

9359085988 [PATCH] libata: improve handling of diagostic fail (and hardware that misreports it)
Our ATA probe code checks that a device is not reporting a diagnostic
failure during start up. Unfortunately at least one device seems to like
doing this - the Gigabyte iRAM.

This is only done for the master right now (which is fine for the iRAM
as it is SATA), as with PATA some combinations of ATAPI device seem to
fool the check into seeing a drive that isn't there if it is applied to
the slave.

fea63e3801 [PATCH] libata: fix non-uniform ports handling
Non-uniform ports handling got broken while updating libata to handle
those in the same host.  Only separate irq for the non-uniform
secondary port was implemented while all other fields (host flags,
transfer mode...) of the secondary port simply shared those of the
first.

For ata_piix combined mode, which ATM is the only user of non-uniform
ports, this causes the secondary port assume the wrong type.  This can
cause PATA port to use SATA ops, which results in bogus check on PCS
and detection failure.

This patch adds ata_probe_ent->pinfo2 which points to optional
port_info for the secondary port.  For the time being, this seems to
be the simplest solution.  This workaround will be removed together
with ata_probe_ent itself after init model is updated to allow more
flexibility.

V4L1 support should be disabled when no CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT is defined,
to allow checking for broken V4L2 ports. This is very important during the
migration phase for V4L2 API.
However, userspace apps should be capable of using both APIs, since they need
to test at runtime, via VIDIOCGCAP ioctl, if V4L1 is supported. So, when
__KERNEL__ is not defined, those ioctls and corresponding structs should be
visible.
This patch also removes the obsolete defines HAVE_V4L1 and HAVE_V4L2, that
where causing some confusion, and were replaced by CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
and CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L2.

e9f7bee1df [PATCH] NFS: large non-page-aligned direct I/O clobbers memory
The logic in nfs_direct_read_schedule and nfs_direct_write_schedule can
allow data->npages to be one larger than rpages.  This causes a page
pointer to be written beyond the end of the pagevec in nfs_read_data (or
nfs_write_data).

Fix this by making nfs_(read|write)_alloc() calculate the size of the
pagevec array, and initialise data->npages.

Also get rid of the redundant argument to nfs_commit_alloc().

96dd7421a0 [PATCH] prevent timespec/timeval to ktime_t overflow
Frank v.  Waveren pointed out that on 64bit machines the timespec to
ktime_t conversion might overflow.  This is also true for timeval to
ktime_t conversions.  This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines.

While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification
the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds.  The
conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >=
(MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC).

Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum
time which can be represented by ktime_t.

84314fd474 [SCSI] SCSI and FC Transport: add netlink support for posting of transport events
This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
It is a followup to the original RFC at:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
and the initial posting at:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2

The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
in the initial posting.

Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
which can then be used by all transports.

This patch:
- Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
  single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
  base SCSI subsystem intialization.
  Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
  transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
- Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
  messages
- Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
   fc_get_event_number() -  to get a FC event #
   fc_host_post_event()  -  to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
   fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
                                 arbitrary amounts of data.

   Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
     event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.

Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2

   Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual
   patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely
   together.

35df17c57c [PATCH] task delay accounting fixes
Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:

1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html

Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
 The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up.  As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.

2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html

The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.

The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

df9ecaba3f [PATCH] ZVC: Scale thresholds depending on the size of the system
The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32.
This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and
the sizes of the zones in the system.

With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention
when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters.  The
contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used
Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch).

However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors.  So we need higher
values for larger systems.

But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller
systems.  Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters.  For
example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or
ZONE_DMA32.  These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems.

The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the
system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for.  The
threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy
approximation.

Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM)

The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently
on each processor (Forking the process.  So contention on mmap_sem and the
pte locks is not a factor):

So a threshold of 32 is fine up to 128 processors. At 256 processors contention
becomes a factor.

Overstepping the counter (earlier patch) improves the numbers a bit:

fork                   4      0.552      0.548      2.164    0.040      2.204

fork                 512      2.276      0.672    997.324    4.260   1001.584

Still contention at 512 and 1020. Contention at 1020 is down by a third.
256 still has a slight bit of contention.

After this patch the counter threshold will be set to 125 which reduces
contention significantly:

fork                 128      0.560      0.548     69.776    0.932     70.708

1ae4f9ba84 USB: Add VIA quirk fixup for VT8235 usb2
Patch to add VIA PCI quirk for Enhanced/Extended USB on VT8235
southbridge. It is needed in order to use EHCI/USB 2.0 with ACPI.
Without it IRQs are not routed correctly, you get an "Unlink after
no-IRQ?" error and the device is unusable.

I belive this could also be a fix for Bugzilla Bug 5835.

492dfb4896 [SCSI] block: add support for shared tag maps
The current block queue implementation already contains most of the
machinery for shared tag maps.  The only remaining pieces are a way to
allocate and destroy a tag map independently of the queues (so that
the maps can be managed on the life cycle of the overseeing entity)

187afbed18 [SCSI] MODULE_FIRMWARE for binary firmware(s)
Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use
request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland
when the module is loaded. This makes sense.

However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically
determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in
order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects
vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too.

The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for
advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will
then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.
