f1c0a2a3af USB: usbmon: fix read(2)
There's a bug in the usbmon binary reader: When using read() to fetch
the packets and a packet's data is partially read, the next read call
will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter
is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size.

So, when dumping USB data with "cat /dev/usbmon0 > usbmon.trace" while
reading from a USB storage device and analyzing the dump file
afterwards it will get out of sync after a couple of packets.

ff3495052a USB: gadget rndis: send notifications
It turns out that atomic_inc_return() returns the *new* value
not the original one, so the logic in rndis_response_available()
kept the first RNDIS response notification from getting out.
This prevented interoperation with MS-Windows (but not Linux).

Fix this to make RNDIS behave again.

Somewhere in the conversion of the RNDIS gadget code to the new

been copied from the CDC Ethernet driver.  Unfortunately that
means it got a nonzero altsetting ... which is incorrect.  Issue

b09bc6cbae USB: fix SB700 usb subsystem hang bug
This patch is required for AMD SB700 south bridge revision A12 and A13 to avoid
USB subsystem hang symptom. The USB subsystem hang symptom is observed when the
system has multiple USB devices connected to it. In some cases a USB hub may be
required to observe this symptom.

This patch works around the problem by correcting the internal register setting
that will help by changing the behavior of the internal logic to avoid the
USB subsystem hang issue. The change in the behavior of the logic does not
impact the normal operation of the USB subsystem.

eeda3fd64f netdev: introduce dev_get_stats()
In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling
of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed. Add a new
helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats.

Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not
go changing the returned statistics.

d314774cf2 netdev: network device operations infrastructure
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative
operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure.

This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the
new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once.
For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list
still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new
net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers.

After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to
an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable.

Some function pointers aren't moved:
* destructor can't be in net_device_ops because
  it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded.
* neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special
  consideration
* hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

f9454548e1 don't unlink an active swapfile
Peter Cordes is sorry that he rm'ed his swapfiles while they were in use,
he then had no pathname to swapoff.  It's a curious little oversight, but
not one worth a lot of hackery.  Kudos to Willy Tarreau for turning this
around from a discussion of synthetic pathnames to how to prevent unlink.
Mimic immutable: prohibit unlinking an active swapfile in may_delete()

63eb6b93ce vmscan: let GFP_NOFS go to swap again
In the past, GFP_NOFS (but of course not GFP_NOIO) was allowed to reclaim
by writing to swap.  That got partially broken in 2.6.23, when may_enter_fs
initialization was moved up before the allocation of swap, so its
PageSwapCache test was failing the first time around,

Fix it by setting may_enter_fs when add_to_swap() succeeds with
__GFP_IO.  In fact, check __GFP_IO before calling add_to_swap():
allocating swap we're not ready to use just increases disk seeking.

bda8550dee migration: fix writepage error
Page migration's writeout() has got understandably confused by the nasty
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE case: as in normal success, a writepage() error has
unlocked the page, so writeout() then needs to relock it.

966c8c12dc sprint_symbol(): use less stack
sprint_symbol(), itself used when dumping stacks, has been wasting 128
bytes of stack: lookup the symbol directly into the buffer supplied by the
caller, instead of using a locally declared namebuf.

I believe the name != buffer strcpy() is obsolete: the design here dates
from when module symbol lookup pointed into a supposedly const but sadly
volatile table; nowadays it copies, but an uncalled strcpy() looks better
here than the risk of a recursive BUG_ON().

3fa59dfbc3 cgroup: fix potential deadlock in pre_destroy
As Balbir pointed out, memcg's pre_destroy handler has potential deadlock.

It has following lock sequence.

	cgroup_mutex (cgroup_rmdir)
	    -> pre_destroy -> mem_cgroup_pre_destroy-> force_empty
		-> cpu_hotplug.lock. (lru_add_drain_all->
				      schedule_work->
                                      get_online_cpus)

But, cpuset has following.
	cpu_hotplug.lock (call notifier)
		-> cgroup_mutex. (within notifier)

Then, this lock sequence should be fixed.

Considering how pre_destroy works, it's not necessary to holding
cgroup_mutex() while calling it.

As a side effect, we don't have to wait at this mutex while memcg's
force_empty works.(it can be long when there are tons of pages.)

0ae15132a4 mm: vmalloc search restart fix
Current vmalloc restart search for a free area in case we can't find one.
The reason is there are areas which are lazily freed, and could be
possibly freed now.  However, current implementation start searching the
tree from the last failing address, which is pretty much by definition at
the end of address space.  So, we fail.

The proposal of this patch is to restart the search from the beginning of
the requested vstart address.  This fixes the regression in running KVM
virtual machines for me, described in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/28/349,
caused by commit db64fe0225.

496850e5f5 mm: vmalloc failure flush fix
An initial vmalloc failure should start off a synchronous flush of lazy
areas, in case someone is in progress flushing them already, which could
cause us to return an allocation failure even if there is plenty of KVA
free.
