2a49128f0a atl1: fix frame length bug
The driver sets up the hardware to accept a frame with max length
equal to MTU + Ethernet header + FCS + VLAN tag, but we neglect to
add the VLAN tag size to the ingress buffer.  When a VLAN-tagged
frame arrives, the hardware passes it, but bad things happen
because the buffer is too small.  This patch fixes that.

Thanks to David Harris for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

Fix the functions that store the primary and active slave
options via sysfs to hold the correct locks in the correct order.

parameters are video=radeonfb:1280x800-32@60 then xres, yres and xres_virtual
are ok but yres_virtual is 1024.  It can be corrected by fbset utility so I
think it can be corrected in the driver code also.

video=radeonfb:1280x800-16@60

9723198c21 #ifdef very expensive debug check in page fault path
This patch puts #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM around a check in vm_normal_page
that verifies that a pfn is valid.  This patch increases performance of the
page fault microbenchmark in lmbench by 13% and overall dbench performance
by 7% on s390x.  pfn_valid() is an expensive operation on s390 that needs a
high double digit amount of CPU cycles.  Nick Piggin suggested that
pfn_valid() involves an array lookup on systems with sparsemem, and
therefore is an expensive operation there too.

The check looks like a clear debug thing to me, it should never trigger on
regular kernels.  And if a pte is created for an invalid pfn, we'll find
out once the memory gets accessed later on anyway.  Please consider
inclusion of this patch into mm.

following warning:
WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x6864): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'process_zones' and 'pageset_cpuup_callback')

The culprit was zone_batchsize() which were annotated __devinit but used
from process_zones() which is annotated __cpuinit.  zone_batchsize() are
used from another function annotated __meminit so the only valid option is
to drop the annotation of zone_batchsize() so we know it is always valid to

b0e86f0a3b CRIS v10: vmlinux.lds.S: ix kernel oops on boot and use common defines
- Move alignment to page size of init data outside ifdef for BLK_DEV_INITRD.
  The reservation up to page size of memory after init data was previously
  not done if BLK_DEV_INITRD was undefined.
  This caused a kernel oops when init memory pages were freed after startup,
  data placed in the same page as the last init memory would also be freed
  and reused, with disastrous results.

- Use macros for initcalls and .text sections.

- Replace hardcoded page size constant with PAGE_SIZE define.

- Change include/asm-cris/page.h to use the _AC macro to instead
  of testing __ASSEMBLY__.

6915719b36 cpufreq: Initialise default governor before use
When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet.  This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.

This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice.  The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.

Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

Fix a buffer overflow in mutli-packet handling code.  The overflow can
only happen with eGalax devices and is even there very unlikely (only
non-report packet are affected any only when truncated after the first
byte).

Also changes the mutli-packet handling code not to drop unknown packets,
but rather just drop one byte.  This allows synchronizing on report packets
in the data stream.  It's required for some egalax devices to work at all.

Also remove the pointless 'flags' member of the device struct and set the
version number to 0.6, plus some minor cleanups.

6724f93463 Input: mousedev - handle mice that use absolute coordinates
Devices like the HP Integrated Remote Console Virtual Mouse, which are
standard equipment on all Proliant and Integrity servers, produce
absolute coordinates instead of relative coordinates.  This is done to
synchronize the position of the mouse cursor on the client desktop
with the mouse cursor position on the server.  Mousedev is not
designed to pass those absolute events directly to X, but it can
translate them into relative movements.  It currently does this for
tablet like devices and touchpads.  This patch merely tells it to also
include a device with ABS_X, ABS_Y, and mouse buttons in its list of
devices to process input for.

This patch enables the mouse pointer to move when using the remote

 - sysfs_move_dir() has an extra dput() on success path.

Fix them.

e49452c677 sysfs: make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on failed lookup
sysfs tries to keep dcache a strict subset of sysfs_dirent tree by
shooting down dentries when a node is removed, that is, no negative
dentry for sysfs.  However, the lookup function returned NULL and thus
created negative dentries when the target node didn't exist.

Make sysfs_lookup() return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) on lookup failure.  This
fixes the NULL dereference bug in sysfs_get_dentry() discovered by
bluetooth rfcomm device moving around.

d101f6496d rt2x00: Fix ieee80211 payload alignment
As Johannes Berg indicated, the NET_IP_ALIGN doesn't
need to be used for ieee80211 frames. This means we
can simplify the alignment calculation to just
use the result of the header size modulus 4 as frame
alignment.

Furthermore we shouldn't use NET_IP_ALIGN in rt2x00usb
because it could be 0 on some architectures and we absolutely
need to have 2 bytes reserved for possible aligning.
