1e87d68083 b43: remove rate index warning
I frequently run into this warning, and added some
debugging to see why, and got this:

As you can see, there are 6 bogus bytes (sometimes only five) and then
the frame. I don't know why, and I don't see how to recover, so let's
just drop these frames.

6a53a8a99c ath5k: Fix IMR init
*On a previous patch i splitted AR5K_INT_TX to multiple different TX
interrupt flags for better handling but i forgot to unmask the new
TXDESC and TXEOL interrupts on ath5k_init and only left TXOK. However
for each queue we enable TXDESC and TXEOL interrupts, not TXOK so we don't
handle TX interrupts at all (because these interrupts remain masked on
PISR) and under load it results packet loss. Fix the problem by
unmasking TXDESC and TXEOL on ath5k_init.

4821277f36 mac80211: fix BUILD_BUG_ON() caused by misalignment on arm
On ARM alignment is done slightly different from other architectures.
struct ieee80211_tx_rate is aligned to word size, even though it only has 3
single-byte members, which triggers the BUILD_BUG_ON in
ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status

This patch marks the struct ieee80211_tx_rate as packed, so that ARM
behaves like the other architectures.

8b0162a3dc ath5k: ignore the return value of ath5k_hw_noise_floor_calibration
Noise floor calibration occasionally fails on Atheros hardware.
This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much
noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right
thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware
will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out
of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx
queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer
works properly until the next reset.

6d64360ac5 rt2x00: Fix BUG_ON() with antenna handling
With the new configuration handling, and more specifically
splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal
configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered
in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the
driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in
rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value.

This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being
initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it
no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the
only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity
handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity
hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization.

When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured
once as soon as the config() callback function is called.

8058409c4f rt2x00: Block set_key() during suspend/shutdown
mac80211 will call set_key() when the device is
shutting down. When the device is unplugged the
keys will be lost automatically due to the power
loss. When the device is not plugged but the module
is only unloaded the keys can remain in the device
hardware, when the module is loaded the keys will
be cleaned up during initialization.

This should prevent the problem reported by Johannes Berg,
where unplugging the device while suspended resulted in
a NULL pointer error during set_key() which was
caused because of the CSR base address being freed.

9a95dba327 rt2x00: Fix LED state handling
For every global LED state change (register/unregister,
suspend/resume) we should force the LEDS to turn off.
This makes sure that the LEDS will always be in a sane
state after the state switch.

Note that when unregister is called but the LED class
wasn't resumed yet, we shouldn't change the LED state
since we might not have access to the device (device
was unplugged while suspended).

Also remove the checks in the activity, assoc and
radio LEDS which blocked calls to brightness_set()
when the state hasn't changed. Some of those LEDS
could be enabled by themselves when something happens
in the hardware (e.g. firmware is loaded). We already
did called rt2x00leds to switch the LED off, but those
calls were blocked.

b7b05fe7f9 ssb: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

3d29b0c33d netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

(Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
changelog but using dev->ml_priv.  That doesn't seem appropriate
to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
instead. -- JWL)

93fe10b670 [IA64] ia64/pv_ops/pv_cpu_ops: fix _IA64_REG_IP case.
pv_cpu_ops.getreg(_IA64_REG_IP) returned constant.
But the returned ip valued should be the one in the caller, not of the callee.
This patch fixes that.

ef23cdbefc [IA64] use mprintk instead of printk, in ia64_mca_modify_original_stack
Using printk from MCA/INIT context is unsafe since it can cause deadlock.
The ia64_mca_modify_original_stack is called from both of mca handler and
init handler, so it should use mprintk instead of printk.

b704882e70 [IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They
also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The
kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode:

* Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps
  generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle.
* Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all
  unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference
  vector.

Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make
sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode
as the default.

0ca4b6b001 x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration
When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used.  If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.

This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.

23918b0306 SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication code
Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling
showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in
rpcauth_lookup_credcache.

It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups,
generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info
pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number
of identical credentials at the RPC layer.

The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info
if the actual pointers are not identical.
