7635acd2d9 [PATCH] dvb: flexcop: fix USB transfer handling
- driver receives many null TS packets (pid=0x1fff).  They occupy the
  limited USB bandwidth and this leads to loss of video packets.  Enabling the
  null packet filter fixes this.

- packets that flexcop sends to USB have a 2 byte header that has to be
  removed.

- sometimes a TS packet is split between different urbs.  These parts have
  to be combined in a temporary buffer.

4c443d1b55 [PATCH] selinux: fix avc_alloc_node() oom with no policy loaded
This patch should fix the avc_alloc_node() oom condition that Andrew
reported when no policy is loaded in SELinux.

Prior to this patch, when no policy was loaded, the SELinux "security
server" (policy engine) was only returning allowed decisions for the
requested permissions for each access check.  This caused the cache to
thrash when trying to use SELinux for real work with no policy loaded
(typically, the no policy loaded state is only for bootstrapping to the
point where we can load an initial policy).

This patch changes the SELinux security server to return the complete
allowed access vector at once, and then to reset the cache after the
initial policy load to flush the initial cache state created during
bootstrapping.

c64610ba58 [PATCH] block_read_full_page() get_block() error handling fix
If block_read_full_page() detects an error when running get_block() it will
run SetPageError(), then it will zero out the block in pagecache and will mark
the buffer_head uptodate.

So at the end of readahead we end up with a non-uptodate pagecache page which
is marked PageError.  But it has uptodate buffers.

The pagefault code will run ClearPageError, will launch readpage a second time
and block_read_full_page() will notice the uptodate buffers and will mark the
page uptodate as well.  We end up with an uptodate, !PageError page full of
zeros and the error is lost.

(It seems a little odd that filemap_nopage() runs ClearPageError().  I guess
all of this adds up to meaning that for each attempted access to the page, the
pagefault handler will retry the I/O.  Which is good and bad.  If the app is
ignoring SIGBUS for some reason we could get a lot of back-to-back I/O
errors.)

Fix it by not marking the pagecache buffer_head as uptodate if the attempt to
map that buffer to a disk block failed.

Move add_preferred_console out of CONFIG_PRINTK so serial console does the
right thing.
