53ecfba259 rcu: only one evaluation of arg in rcu_dereference_check() unless sparse
The current version of the __rcu_access_pointer(), __rcu_dereference_check(),
and __rcu_dereference_protected() macros evaluate their "p" argument
three times, not counting typeof()s.  This is bad news if that argument
contains a side effect.  This commit therefore evaluates this argument
only once in normal kernel builds.  However, the straightforward approach
defeats sparse's RCU-pointer checking, so when __CHECKER__ is defined,
the additional pair of evaluations of the "p" argument are performed in
order to permit sparse to detect misuse of RCU-protected pointers.

4c894f47bb x86/amd-iommu: Work around S3 BIOS bug
This patch adds a workaround for an IOMMU BIOS problem to
the AMD IOMMU driver. The result of the bug is that the
IOMMU does not execute commands anymore when the system
comes out of the S3 state resulting in system failure. The
bug in the BIOS is that is does not restore certain hardware
specific registers correctly. This workaround reads out the
contents of these registers at boot time and restores them
on resume from S3. The workaround is limited to the specific
IOMMU chipset where this problem occurs.

5eebde2322 nfs: introduce mount option '-olocal_lock' to make locks local
NFS clients since 2.6.12 support flock locks by emulating fcntl byte-range
locks. Due to this, some windows applications which seem to use both flock
(share mode lock mapped as flock by Samba) and fcntl locks sequentially on
the same file, can't lock as they falsely assume the file is already locked.
The problem was reported on a setup with windows clients accessing excel files
on a Samba exported share which is originally a NFS mount from a NetApp filer.

Older NFS clients (< 2.6.12) did not see this problem as flock locks were
considered local. To support legacy flock behavior, this patch adds a mount
option "-olocal_lock=" which can take the following values:

   'none'  		- Neither flock locks nor POSIX locks are local
   'flock' 		- flock locks are local
   'posix' 		- fcntl/POSIX locks are local
   'all'		- Both flock locks and POSIX locks are local

Testing:

   - This patch was tested by using -olocal_lock option with different values
     and the NLM calls were noted from the network packet captured.

     'none'  - NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl(), flock lock
   	       was granted, fcntl was denied
     'flock' - no NLM calls for flock(), NLM call was seen for fcntl(),
   	       granted
     'posix' - NLM call was seen for flock() - granted, no NLM call for fcntl()
     'all'   - no NLM calls were seen during both flock() and fcntl()

   - No bugs were seen during NFSv4 locking/unlocking in general and NFSv4
     reboot recovery.

710224fa27 arm: fix "arm: fix pci_set_consistent_dma_mask for dmabounce devices"
This fixes the regression caused by the commit 6fee48cd33
("dma-mapping: arm: use generic pci_set_dma_mask and
pci_set_consistent_dma_mask").

ARM needs to clip the dma coherent mask for dmabounce devices. This
restores the old trick.

Note that strictly speaking, the DMA API doesn't allow architectures to do
such but I'm not sure it's worth adding the new API to set the dma mask
that allows architectures to clip it.

bf5438fca2 jump label: Base patch for jump label
base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

f4bc17cdd2 ipvs: netfilter connection tracking changes
Add more code to IPVS to work with Netfilter connection
tracking and fix some problems.

- Allow IPVS to be compiled without connection tracking as in
2.6.35 and before. This can avoid keeping conntracks for all
IPVS connections because this costs memory. ip_vs_ftp still
depends on connection tracking and NAT as implemented for 2.6.36.

- Add sysctl var "conntrack" to enable connection tracking for
all IPVS connections. For loaded IPVS directors it needs
tuning of nf_conntrack_max limit.

- Add IP_VS_CONN_F_NFCT connection flag to request the connection
to use connection tracking. This allows user space to provide this
flag, for example, in dest->conn_flags. This can be useful to
request connection tracking per real server instead of forcing it
for all connections with the "conntrack" sysctl. This flag is
set currently only by ip_vs_ftp and of course by "conntrack" sysctl.

- Add ip_vs_nfct.c file to hold all connection tracking code,
by this way main code should not depend of netfilter conntrack
support.

- Return back the ip_vs_post_routing handler as in 2.6.35 and use
skb->ipvs_property=1 to allow IPVS to work without connection
tracking

Connection tracking:

- most of the code is already in 2.6.36-rc

- alter conntrack reply tuple for LVS-NAT connections when first packet
from client is forwarded and conntrack state is NEW or RELATED.
Additionally, alter reply for RELATED connections from real server,
again for packet in original direction.

- add IP_VS_XMIT_TUNNEL to confirm conntrack (without altering
reply) for LVS-TUN early because we want to call nf_reset. It is
needed because we add IPIP header and the original conntrack
should be preserved, not destroyed. The transmitted IPIP packets
can reuse same conntrack, so we do not set skb->ipvs_property.

- try to destroy conntrack when the IPVS connection is destroyed.
It is not fatal if conntrack disappears before that, it depends
on the used timers.

Fix problems from long time:

- add skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE for the LVS-TUN transmitters

a3c74c5257 futex: Mark restart_block.futex.uaddr[2] __user
@uaddr and @uaddr2 fields in restart_block.futex are user
pointers. Add __user and remove unnecessary casts.

f0f9deae9e netpoll: Disable IRQ around RCU dereference in netpoll_rx
We cannot use rcu_dereference_bh safely in netpoll_rx as we may
be called with IRQs disabled.  We could however simply disable
IRQs as that too causes BH to be disabled and is safe in either
case.

Thanks to John Linville for discovering this bug and providing
a patch.

be2902daee ethtool, ixgbe: Move RX n-tuple mask fixup to ethtool
The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are
not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be
treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set.  Currently that is
done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe.
Move it to the ethtool core.

ebbb293f8b stmmac: consolidate and tidy-up the COE support
The first version of the driver had hard-coded the logic
for handling the checksum offloading.
This was designed according to the chips included in
the STM platforms where:
o MAC10/100 supports no COE at all.
o GMAC fully supports RX/TX COE.

This is not good for other chip configurations where,
for example, the mac10/100 supports the tx csum in HW
or when the GMAC has no IPC.

Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach; he provided me a first
draft of this patch that only reviewed the IPC for the
GMAC devices.

This patch also helps on SPEAr platforms where the
MAC10/100 can perform the TX csum in HW.
Thanks to Deepak SIKRI for his support on this.

In the end, GMAC devices for STM platforms have
a bugged Jumbo frame support that needs to have
the Tx COE disabled for oversized frames (due to
limited buffer sizes). This information is also
passed through the driver's platform structure.
