8507bb0062 FRV: ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was already defined
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN was already defined in asm/mem-layout.h and so shouldn't
have been added to asm/cache.h as well, but rather altered in place.

The commit that added it to asm/cache.h was:

	commit 69dcf3db03
	Author: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
	Date:   Mon May 24 14:32:54 2010 -0700

	    frv: set ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN

	    Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set
	    ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is
	    DMA-safe: the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.

Nick has switched read_cache_page() and friends to sync behaviour
(i.e.  they wait for the page to get unlocked, check if it's uptodate
and if it isn't return ERR_PTR(-EIO) instead) and removed the
duplicate logics from the callers.  In case of fs/minix/dir.c he'd

045de01a17 netlink: bug fix: wrong size was calculated for vfinfo list blob
The wrong size was being calculated for vfinfo.  In one case, it was over-
calculating using nlmsg_total_size on attrs, in another case, it was
under-calculating by assuming ifla_vf_* structs are packed together, but
each struct is it's own attr w/ hdr (and padding).

0aa6827151 ipv6: Add GSO support on forwarding path
Currently we disallow GSO packets on the IPv6 forward path.
This patch fixes this.

Note that I discovered that our existing GSO MTU checks (e.g.,
IPv4 forwarding) are buggy in that they skip the check altogether,
when they really should be checking gso_size + header instead.

I have also been lazy here in that I haven't bothered to segment
the GSO packet by hand before generating an ICMP message.  Someone
should add that to be 100% correct.

e96d312776 ALSA: hda: Use LPIB for Sony VPCS11V9E
BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/586347

Symptom: On the Sony VPCS11V9E, using GStreamer-based applications with
PulseAudio in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS results in stuttering audio. It appears
to worsen with increased I/O.

Test case: use Rhythmbox under increased I/O pressure. This symptom is
reproducible in the current daily stable alsa-driver snapshots (at least
up until 21 May 2010; later snapshots fail to build from source due to
missing preprocessor directives when compiled against 2.6.32).

Resolution: add SSID for this machine to the position_fix quirk table,
explicitly specifying the LPIB method.

Convert simple filesystems: ramfs, configfs, sysfs, block_dev to new truncate
sequence.

15c6fd9786 kill spurious reference to vmtruncate
Lots of filesystems calls vmtruncate despite not implementing the old
->truncate method.  Switch them to use simple_setsize and add some
comments about the truncate code where it seems fitting.

7bb46a6734 fs: introduce new truncate sequence
Introduce a new truncate calling sequence into fs/mm subsystems. Rather than
setattr > vmtruncate > truncate, have filesystems call their truncate sequence
from ->setattr if filesystem specific operations are required. vmtruncate is
deprecated, and truncate_pagecache and inode_newsize_ok helpers introduced
previously should be used.

simple_setattr is introduced for simple in-ram filesystems to implement
the new truncate sequence. Eventually all filesystems should be converted
to implement a setattr, and the default code in notify_change should go
away.

simple_setsize is also introduced to perform just the ATTR_SIZE portion
of simple_setattr (ie. changing i_size and trimming pagecache).

To implement the new truncate sequence:
- filesystem specific manipulations (eg freeing blocks) must be done in
  the setattr method rather than ->truncate.
- vmtruncate can not be used by core code to trim blocks past i_size in
  the event of write failure after allocation, so this must be performed
  in the fs code.
- convert usage of helpers block_write_begin, nobh_write_begin,
  cont_write_begin, and *blockdev_direct_IO* to use _newtrunc postfixed
  variants. These avoid calling vmtruncate to trim blocks (see previous).
- inode_setattr should not be used. generic_setattr is a new function
  to be used to copy simple attributes into the generic inode.
- make use of the better opportunity to handle errors with the new sequence.

Big problem with the previous calling sequence: the filesystem is not called
until i_size has already changed.  This means it is not allowed to fail the
call, and also it does not know what the previous i_size was. Also, generic
code calling vmtruncate to truncate allocated blocks in case of error had
no good way to return a meaningful error (or, for example, atomically handle
block deallocation).
