284ae7cab0 [PATCH] md: Handle overflow of mdu_array_info_t->size better
mdu_array_info_t->size is 'int', which isn't big enough for the size (in KB of
each component in) some arrays.

So rather than a random overflow, set size to -1 when it cannot be set
correctly.

To update aspect on an array, userspace will sometimes:
  get_array_info
  change one field
  set_array_info

in this case, we don't want the '-1' in 'size' to change to size, or look like
a size change at all.  So test for that in update_array_info.

ab11f89929 [PATCH] Clean up Documentation/driver-model/overview.txt
Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.

These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these.  In addition,
some of the language is awkward.  Fix this.

(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

7faa006f94 [TG3]: Flush tg3_reset_task()
Make sure tg3_reset_task() is flushed in the close and suspend paths
as noted by Jeff Garzik.

In the close path, calling flush_scheduled_work() may cause deadlock
if linkwatch_event() is on the workqueue. linkwatch_event() will try
to get the rtnl_lock() which is already held by tg3_close(). So
instead, we set a flag in tg3_reset_task() and tg3_close() polls
the flag until it is cleared.

3f330317ab [TEXTSEARCH]: Fix broken good shift array calculation in Boyer-Moore
The current logic does not calculate correctly the good shift array:
Let x be the pattern that is being searched. Let y be the block of data. 
The good shift array aligns the segment:

x[i+1 ... m-1] = y[i+j+1 ... j+m-1]

with its rightmost occurrence in x that fulfils x[i] neq y[i+j].

In previous version, the good shift array for the pattern ANPANMAN is:
[1, 8, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8]
and should be:
[1, 8, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]

OK this is definitely broken.  We should never touch the dst lock in
softirq context.  Since inet6_destroy_sock may be called from that
context due to the asynchronous nature of sockets, we can't take the
lock there.

In fact this sk_dst_reset is totally redundant since all IPv6 sockets
use inet_sock_destruct as their socket destructor which always cleans
up the dst anyway.  So the solution is to simply remove the call.

SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number
of missing reports for the TSN.  However the Implementers Guide
specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once.
Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the

4641e7a334 [IPV6]: Don't hold extra ref count in ipv6_ifa_notify
Currently the logic in ipv6_ifa_notify is to hold an extra reference
count for addrconf dst's that get added to the routing table.  Thus,
when addrconf dst entries are taken out of the routing table, we need
to drop that dst.  However, addrconf dst entries may be removed from
the routing table by means other than __ipv6_ifa_notify.

So we're faced with the choice of either fixing up all places where
addrconf dst entries are removed, or dropping the extra reference count
altogether.

I chose the latter because the ifp itself always holds a dst reference
count of 1 while it's alive.  This is dropped just before we kfree the
ifp object.  Therefore we know that in __ipv6_ifa_notify we will always
hold that count.

This bug was found by Eric W. Biederman.

6d89332b77 [PATCH] md: Fix device-size updates in md
As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits.  So We should cast it to a loff_t first.

There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
  The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
  and it doesn't change the size of the array.
  When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
  at least not straight away.
  This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
  if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

9c0f4755bd [SERIAL] initialize spinlock for port failed to setup console
It seems serial_core intend to initialize port->lock just once for each
ports.  This is done in uart_set_options() for console, and in
uart_add_one_port() for other ports.  But there is a case the port->lock is
not initialized by serial_core.  If the setup function for the console was
failed, it will not call uart_set_options() but the port is marked as
console (uart_console(port) returns 1).  It can happen if console was PCI
port which can not detected at the time of register_console.

This patch is to initialize port->lock for such console port.  With this
change, most of spin_lock_init() (some of them are labeled "Temporary
fix.") in low-level serial drivers can be omitted.

9842ef3557 SUNRPC: rpc_timeout_upcall_queue should not sleep
The function rpc_timeout_upcall_queue runs from a workqueue, and hence
 sleeping is not recommended. Convert the protection of the upcall queue
 from being mutex-based to being spinlock-based.

8a3177604b SUNRPC: Fix a lock recursion in the auth_gss downcall
When we look up a new cred in the auth_gss downcall so that we can stuff
 the credcache, we do not want that lookup to queue up an upcall in order
 to initialise it. To do an upcall here not only redundant, but since we
 are already holding the inode->i_mutex, it will trigger a lock recursion.

 This patch allows rpcauth cache searches to indicate that they can cope
 with uninitialised credentials.

aaaa99423b NLM: Ensure that nlmclnt_cancel_callback() doesn't loop forever
If the server returns NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS, we currently retry the
 entire NLM_CANCEL request. This may end up looping forever unless the
 server changes its mind (why would it do that, though?).

 Ensure that we limit the number of retries (to 3).

 See bug# 5957 in bugzilla.kernel.org.
