9de79c127c net: fix potential neighbour race in dst_ifdown()
Followup of commit f2c31e32b3 (fix NULL dereferences in
check_peer_redir()).

We need to make sure dst neighbour doesnt change in dst_ifdown().

Fix some sparse errors.

9be6dd6510 Bridge: Always send NETDEV_CHANGEADDR up on br MAC change.
This ensures the neighbor entries associated with the bridge
dev are flushed, also invalidating the associated cached L2 headers.

This means we br_add_if/br_del_if ports to implement hand-over and
not wind up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.

This means we can also change MAC of port device and also not wind
up with bridge packets going out with stale MAC.

This builds on Stephen Hemminger's patch, also handling the br_del_if
case and the port MAC change case.

f2c0d0266c cap_syslog: don't use WARN_ONCE for CAP_SYS_ADMIN deprecation warning
syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG
was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning.

Commit ee24aebffb ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping
the WARN_ONCE().  But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace
we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins
when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a
recent kernel.

Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to
give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted
backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

9f50fad65b Revert "memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock"
This reverts commit 8521fc50d4.

The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true.  Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache.  The cache is
already cleaned up, though.

There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:

        CPU0                    CPU1                         CPU2
  mem=stock->cached
  stock->cached=NULL
                              clear_bit
                                                        test_and_set_bit
  test_bit()                    ...
  <preempted>             mem_cgroup_destroy
  use after free

The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.

It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.

e44f4112a4 xfs: set cursor in xfs_ail_splice() even when AIL was empty
In xfs_ail_splice(), if a cursor is provided it is updated to
point to the last item on the list being spliced into the AIL.
But if the AIL was found to be empty, the cursor (if provided)
is just initialized instead.

There is no reason the empty AIL case needs to be treated any
differently.  And treating it the same way allows this code
to be rearranged a bit, with a somewhat tidier result.

bdc71bc592 ath5k: fix error handling in ath5k_beacon_send
This cleans up error handling for the beacon in case of dma mapping
failure.  We need to free the skb when dma mapping fails instead of
nulling and leaking the pointer, and we should bail out to avoid
giving the hardware the bad descriptor.

Finally, we need to perform the null check after trying to update
the beacon, or else beacons will never be sent after a single
mapping failure.

abc1199411 rt2x00: Fix PCI interrupt processing race on SMP systems
When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts
it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish.
However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU.
Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished
before returning from toggle_irq.

Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even
though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the
DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts
during tasklet processing.

While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the
toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait
for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

b037b69326 ath9k: do not enable interrupt on set interrupt mask
At preset set_interrupt also enables interrupt after changing
mask. This is not necessary in all cases and also sometime it
breaks the assumption that interrupt was disabled. So let us
enable the interrupt explicity if it was disabled earlier.
This could also avoid unnecessary register ops and also helps
the follow up patch to have global ref count for interrupts ops.

d2e7b3425c libertas: disable functionality when interface is down
Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.

power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.

The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

4b6fee17b1 eCryptfs: fix compile error
This patch fixes the compile error reported at the address:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40292

The problem arises when compiling eCryptfs as built-in and the 'encrypted'
key type as a module. The patch prevents this combination from being set in
the kernel configuration, by fixing the eCryptfs dependencies.

When an eCryptfs inode's lower file has been closed, and the pointer has
been set to NULL, return an error when trying to do a lower read or

981c125269 perf symbols: Check '/tmp/perf-' symbol file ownership
The external symbol files are generated by JIT compilers, for example, but we
need to make sure they're ours before injecting them to 'perf report'.

81107188f1 slub: Fix partial count comparison confusion
deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.

Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are
enabled.
