a2a6c74d34 w1: decrement slave counter only in ->release() callback
Decrement the slave counter only in ->release() callback instead of both
in ->release() and w1 control.

Patch is based on debug work and preliminary patch made by Henri Laakso.
Henri noticed in debug that this counter becomes negative after w1 slave
device is physically removed.

cb2a52052c modules: de-mutex more symbol lookup paths in the module code
Kyle McMartin reports sysrq_timer_list_show() can hit the module mutex
from hard interrupt context.  These paths don't need to though, since we
long ago changed all the module list manipulation to occur via
stop_machine().

Disabling preemption is enough.

ba67a39efd knfsd: Allow NFSv2/3 WRITE calls to succeed when krb5i etc is used.
When RPCSEC/GSS and krb5i is used, requests are padded, typically to a multiple
of 8 bytes.  This can make the request look slightly longer than it
really is.

As of

	f34b95689d "The NFSv2/NFSv3 server does not handle zero
		length WRITE request correctly",

the xdr decode routines for NFSv2 and NFSv3 reject requests that aren't
the right length, so krb5i (for example) WRITE requests can get lost.

This patch relaxes the appropriate test and enhances the related comment.

84427eaef1 remove task_ppid_nr_ns
task_ppid_nr_ns is called in three places.  One of these should never
have called it.  In the other two, using it broke the existing
semantics.  This was presumably accidental.  If the function had not
been there, it would have been much more obvious to the eye that those
patches were changing the behavior.  We don't need this function.

In task_state, the pid of the ptracer is not the ppid of the ptracer.

In do_task_stat, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.
I also moved the call outside of lock_task_sighand, since it doesn't
need it.

In sys_getppid, ppid is the tgid of the real_parent, not its pid.

66a21736de pnpacpi: print resource shortage message only once
pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources: 40

While this message is a real error and should thus
remain KERN_ERR (even a new dmesg line is seen as a regression
by some, since it was not printed in 2.6.23...) it is certainly
impolite to print this warning 50 times should you happen to
have the oddball system with 90 io resources under a device...

So print the warning just once.

In 2.6.25 we'll get rid of the limits altogether
and these warnings will vanish with them.

84cd2dfb04 sky2: remove check for PCI wakeup setting from BIOS
The driver checks status of PCI power management to mark
default setting of Wake On Lan. On some systems this works, but often
it reports a that WOL is disabled when it isn't.

This patch gets rid of that check and just reports the wake on
lan status based on the hardware capablity.

974a9f0b47 Use access mode instead of open flags to determine needed permissions
Way back when (in commit 834f2a4a15, aka
"VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent"
to be exact), Trond changed the open logic to keep track of the original
flags to a file open, in order to pass down the the intent of a dentry
lookup to the low-level filesystem.

However, when doing that reorganization, it changed the meaning of
namei_flags, and thus inadvertently changed the test of access mode for
directories (and RO filesystem) to use the wrong flag.  So fix those
test back to use access mode ("acc_mode") rather than the open flag
("flag").

Issue noticed by Bill Roman at Datalight.

5dc162682d netxen: fix byte-swapping in tx and rx
Here's the reworked patch.

This cleans up some unnecessary byte-swapping while setting up tx and
interpreting rx desc. The 64 bit rx status data should be converted
to host endian format only once and the macros just need to extract
bitfields.

This saves a spate of interrupts on pseries blades caused by buggy
(non) processing rx status ring.

53a01e00f8 netxen: optimize tx handling
netxen driver allows limited number of threads simultaneously posting
skb's in tx ring. If transmit slot is unavailable, driver calls
schedule() or loops in xmit_frame().

This patch returns TX_BUSY and lets the stack reschedule the packet if
transmit slot is unavailable. Also removes unnecessary check for tx
timeout in the driver itself, the network stack does that anyway.

8dab637612 ps3fb: fix deadlock on kexec()
Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in
0333d83509, kexecing can cause the
kernel to deadlock:

 ps3fb_shutdown()
  -> unregister_framebuffer()
  -> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND)
  -> fbcon_fb_unbind()
  -> unbind_con_driver()
  -> bind_con_driver()
	[ acquires console_sem ]
  -> fbcon_deinit()
  -> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0)
  -> ps3fb_release()
  -> ps3fb_sync()
	[ acquires console_sem ]

This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem()
out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving
ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore.

[Geert]
  - Corrected call sequence above
  - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an
    inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to
    acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release().

    I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and
    not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without
    holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing
    crashes or lockups.

    Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen
    when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during
    shutdown/kexec).

9f9adecd2d PM: ACPI and APM must not be enabled at the same time
ACPI and APM used "pm_active" to guarantee that
they would not be simultaneously active.

But pm_active was recently moved under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY,
so that without CONFIG_PM_LEGACY, pm_active became a NOP --
allowing ACPI and APM to both be simultaneously enabled.
This caused unpredictable results, including boot hangs.

Further, the code under CONFIG_PM_LEGACY is scheduled
for removal.

So replace pm_active with pm_flags.
pm_flags depends only on CONFIG_PM,
which is present for both CONFIG_APM and CONFIG_ACPI.

84c21e2542 [MIPS] Malta: Fix software reset on big endian
I noticed that the commit f197465384
(MIPS Tech: Get rid of volatile in core code) broke the software
reset functionality for MIPS Malta boards in big-endian mode.

According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic
32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft
reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET
integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been
set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic
value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however,
swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32.

The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel()
routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole
MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab
and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also
included.

The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both
BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional
after the change.

P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality
for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I
don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org
Web site claims that Atlas support is scheduled for removal.
