41fa9f863b ide: decrease size of ->pc_buf field in struct ide_atapi_pc
struct ide_atapi_pc is often allocated on the stack and size of ->pc_buf
size is 256 bytes.  However since only ide_floppy_create_read_capacity_cmd()
and idetape_create_inquiry_cmd() require such size allocate buffers for
these pc-s explicitely and decrease ->pc_buf size to 64 bytes.

7f1e2ca9f0 hrtimer: fix rq->lock inversion (again)
It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the
hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired
timers to softirq context.

This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.

It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.

ca7255614e regulator: Support disabling of unused regulators by machines
At present it is not possible for machine constraints to disable
regulators which have been left on when the system starts, for example
as a result of fixed default configurations in hardware. This means that
power may be wasted by these regulators if they are not in use.

Provide intial support for this with a late_initcall which will disable
any unused regulators if the machine has enabled this feature by calling
regulator_has_full_constraints(). If this has not been called then print
a warning to encourage users to fully specify their constraints so that
we can change this to be the default behaviour in future.

These calls are intended to be used by MMC host adapters

separate supply, or a split rail chip like certain SDIO

fa16a5c13a regulator: twl4030 regulators
Support most of the LDO regulators in the twl4030 family chips.
In the case of LDOs supporting MMC/SD, the voltage controls are
used; but in most other cases, the regulator framework is only
used to enable/disable a supplies, conserving power when a given
voltage rail is not needed.

The drivers/mfd/twl4030-core.c code already sets up the various
regulators according to board-specific configuration, and knows
that some chips don't provide the full set of voltage rails.

The omitted regulators are intended to be under hardware control,
such as during the hardware-mediated system powerup, powerdown,
and suspend states.  Unless/until software hooks are known to
be safe, they won't be exported here.

These regulators implement the new get_status() operation, but
can't realistically implement get_mode(); the status output is
effectively the result of a vote, with the relevant hardware
inputs not exposed.

4367cfdc7c regulator: enumerate voltages (v2)
Add a basic mechanism for regulators to report the discrete
voltages they support:  list_voltage() enumerates them using
selectors numbered from 0 to an upper bound.

Use those methods to force machine-level constraints into bounds.
(Example:  regulator supports 1.8V, 2.4V, 2.6V, 3.3V, and board
constraints for that rail are 2.0V to 3.6V ... so the range of
voltages is then 2.4V to 3.3V on this board.)

Export those voltages to the regulator consumer interface, so for
example regulator hooked up to an MMC/SD/SDIO slot can report the
actual voltage options available to cards connected there.

853116a105 regulator: add get_status()
Based on previous LKML discussions:

 * Update docs for regulator sysfs class attributes to highlight
   the fact that all current attributes are intended to be control
   inputs, including notably "state" and "opmode" which previously
   implied otherwise.

 * Define a new regulator driver get_status() method, which is the
   first method reporting regulator outputs instead of inputs.
   It can report on/off and error status; or instead of simply
   "on", report the actual operating mode.

For the moment, this is a sysfs-only interface, not accessible to
regulator clients.  Such clients can use the current notification
interfaces to detect errors, if the regulator reports them.

f701d589aa md/raid6: move raid6 data processing to raid6_pq.ko
Move the raid6 data processing routines into a standalone module
(raid6_pq) to prepare them to be called from async_tx wrappers and other
non-md drivers/modules.  This precludes a circular dependency of raid456
needing the async modules for data processing while those modules in
turn depend on raid456 for the base level synchronous raid6 routines.

To support this move:
1/ The exportable definitions in raid6.h move to include/linux/raid/pq.h
2/ The raid6_call, recovery calls, and table symbols are exported
3/ Extra #ifdef __KERNEL__ statements to enable the userspace raid6test to
   compile

eea1bf384e md: Fix is_mddev_idle test (again).
There are two problems with is_mddev_idle.

1/ sync_io is 'atomic_t' and hence 'int'.  curr_events and all the
   rest are 'long'.
   So if sync_io were to wrap on a 64bit host, the value of
   curr_events would go very negative suddenly, and take a very
   long time to return to positive.

   So do all calculations as 'int'.  That gives us plenty of precision
   for what we need.

2/ To initialise rdev->last_events we simply call is_mddev_idle, on
   the assumption that it will make sure that last_events is in a
   suitable range.  It used to do this, but now it does not.
   So now we need to be more explicit about initialisation.

When people open-code it they seem to use fixed numbers rather than strlen,
so it's quite a readability win (also, strncmp() almost always wants != 0

So here's strstarts().

acae051565 module: create a request_module_nowait()
There seems to be a common pattern in the kernel where drivers want to
call request_module() from inside a module_init() function. Currently
this would deadlock.

As a result, several drivers go through hoops like scheduling things via
kevent, or creating custom work queues (because kevent can deadlock on them).

This patch changes this to use a request_module_nowait() function macro instead,
which just fires the modprobe off but doesn't wait for it, and thus avoids the
original deadlock entirely.

On my laptop this already results in one less kernel thread running..

It makes sense to have __module_address.  We then implement
is_module_address and __module_text_address in terms of this (and
change is_module_text_address() to bool while we're at it).

Also, add proper kerneldoc for them all.

e180a6b775 param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs
Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo

The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the
module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep
the (mangled) module command line around.  But when set via sysfs (as
about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way
out of the write().  Future reads hit random mem.

So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline
parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably
kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module
unload.

(Thanks to Randy Dunlap for CONFIG_SYSFS=n fixes)
