This patch is a W/A for the TSF sync issue in IBSS merging. HW is not
capable to sync TSF (it's constantly little behind). This creates
constant IBSS merging upon reception of each beacon, adding and removing
station which in turn creates above 50% packet loss and thus dramatically
degrade the throughput. The W/A simply stops the driver from declaring it
has a reliable TSF value and thus eliminates IBSS merging.

random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store
credit_entropy_bits() does:
spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
...
if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;
so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():
static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
int reserved)
{
unsigned long flags;
BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);
/* Hold lock while accounting */
spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
can trigger.
We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and
patch creator. I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to
upstream kernels.
Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer:
The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because
of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code. Due to this
error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not
get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target.
Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at
the end. eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell". It did not surface when the
iqn's had a longer section at the end. eg:
"iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz"
So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e. the
size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted
twice.
This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot
the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug.

- register int days, month, year;
+ unsigned int days, month, year;
This doesn't work for all cases, because days is checked for < 0 later
on:
if (days < 0) {

I think the correct fix would be to keep days signed and do an appropriate

This bug has been around for a LONG time. The MM warning is from late
2005, but the driver merged a year later ... so I'm puzzled why nobody
noticed this before now.
The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's
just used for normal DMA writes. So replace it with standard kmalloc()
buffering and DMA mapping calls.
This is the quickie fix. A better one would not rely on allocating large
bounce buffers. (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but
that case was ignored... kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.)

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly
re-assert THRE (01c194d927: "serial 8250:
tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was
opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected
at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular
UART IP it is fatal.
This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the
port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can
check this bit even if the test for the bug fails.
David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci
hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has
periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ...
and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from
some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable."

When multicasting the driver sets the number of group addresses using
the count from the previous set multicast command. In general this means
you have to set the multicast addresses twice to get the behaviour you
want.
If we were multicasting, and reduce the number of addresses we are
multicasting to, then the driver would write uninitialised data from the
stack into the group addresses to multicast to.
Only write the multicast addresses we have specifically set.

A recent patch to protect the rdev list with rcu locking leaves us
with a problem because we can sleep on memalloc while holding the
rcu lock.
The rcu lock is only needed while walking the linked list as
uninteresting devices (failed or spares) can be removed at any time.
So only take the rcu lock while actually walking the linked list.
Take a refcount on the rdev during the time when we drop the lock
and do the memalloc to start IO.
When we return to the locked code, all the interesting devices
on the list will not have moved, so we can simply use
list_for_each_continue_rcu to pick up where we left off.

When stopping an md array, or just switching to read-only, we
currently call invalidate_partition while holding the mddev lock.
The main reason for this is probably to ensure all dirty buffers
are flushed (invalidate_partition calls fsync_bdev).
However if any dirty buffers are found, it will almost certainly cause
a deadlock as starting writeout will require an update to the
superblock, and performing that updates requires taking the mddev
lock - which is already held.
This deadlock can be demonstrated by running "reboot -f -n" with
a root filesystem on md/raid, and some dirty buffers in memory.
All other calls to stop an array should already happen after a flush.
The normal sequence is to stop using the array (e.g. umount) which
will cause __blkdev_put to call sync_blockdev. Then open the
array and issue the STOP_ARRAY ioctl while the buffers are all still
clean.
So this invalidate_partition is normally a no-op, except for one case
where it will cause a deadlock.
So remove it.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
