39f25e70ca libata-pmp: clear hob for pmp register accesses

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer.
The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB
information when accessing PMP registers.

Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen
automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci).

One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48,
forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

9116300634 libata: automatically use DMADIR if drive/bridge requires it
Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir.

That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it
in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the
returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications).

So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit.
Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives.

This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it
if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary.
atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting
DMADIR.

Original patch is from Mark Lord.

ac0b3509f0 ixgb: add RNBC counter - no buffer count - to ethtool stats
This counter is valuable to determine if the system is unable
to timely return buffers to the hardware and this counter starts
to increase well before the hardware starts to drop packets. If
users experience rx_no_buffer_count increasing, they should increase
the amount of descriptors. That will provide more buffers for the
hardware and will decrease the chance of hard drops.

RTM_NEWLINK allows for already existing links to be modified. For this
purpose do_setlink() is called which expects address attributes with a
payload length of at least dev->addr_len. This patch adds the necessary
validation for the RTM_NEWLINK case.

The address length for links to be created is not checked for now as the
actual attribute length is used when copying the address to the netdevice
structure. It might make sense to report an error if less than addr_len
bytes are provided but enforcing this might break drivers trying to be
smart with not transmitting all zero addresses.

38ea3686f6 [BNX2]: Disable parallel detect on an HP blade.
Because of some board issues, we need to disable parallel detect on
an HP blade.  Without this patch, the link state can become stuck
when it goes into parallel detect mode.

a2724e2559 [BNX2]: More 5706S link down workaround.
The previous patches to workaround the 5706S on an HP blade were not
sufficient.  The link state still does not change properly in some
cases.  This patch adds polling to make it completely reliable.

04e2f1741d Add memory barrier semantics to wake_up() & co
Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures,
the traditional sequence of

	set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
	if (CONDITION)
		return;
	schedule();

is racy wrt another CPU doing

	CONDITION = 1;
	wake_up_process(p);

because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating
setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION
variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side.

Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and
sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other
architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier,
but that is not generally guaranteed.  The write that sets CONDITION
could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock.

However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the
writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt
the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old
state).

This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in
practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will
make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the
spinlock already gave the required protection).

02c608c1fe documentation: atomic_add_unless() doesn't imply mb() on failure
(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...)

A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately
after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't
provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example.

We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

7fde4c3eb7 memcgroup: remove a useless VM_BUG_ON()
Remove this VM_BUG_ON(), as Balbir stated:

We used to have a for loop with !list_empty() as a termination condition
and VM_BUG_ON(!pc) is a spill over.  With the new loop, VM_BUG_ON(!pc) does
not make sense.
