Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) Fix inaccuracies in network driver interface documentation, from Ben
Hutchings.2) Fix handling of negative offsets in BPF JITs, from Jan Seiffert.
3) Compile warning, locking, and refcounting fixes in netfilter's
xt_CT, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.4) phonet sendmsg needs to validate user length just like any other
datagram protocol, fix from Sasha Levin.5) Ipv6 multicast code uses wrong loop index, from RongQing Li.
6) Link handling and firmware fixes in bnx2x driver from Yaniv Rosner
and Yuval Mintz.7) mlx4 erroneously allocates 4 pages at a time, regardless of page
size, fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.8) SCTP socket option wasn't extended in a backwards compatible way,
fix from Thomas Graf.9) Add missing address change event emissions to bonding, from Shlomo
Pongratz.10) /proc/net/dev regressed because it uses a private offset to track
where we are in the hash table, but this doesn't track the offset
pullback that the seq_file code does resulting in some entries being
missed in large dumps.Fix from Eric Dumazet.
11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it
invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence
generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE
settings, guide the tcp_push() calls.Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch
effectively into GSO/TSO clusters.From Eric Dumazet.
12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a
socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we
cannot touch it after queueing it like that.Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it
immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer
to transmit the PPP frame.But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the
TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should
only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until
it's downstream can't take data any more.14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver
changes, re-add. From Marc Kleine-Budde.15) Fix link flaps in ixgbe, from Eric W. Multanen.
16) Descriptor writeback fixes in e1000e from Matthew Vick.

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.

The explanation of ip_local_port_range in
Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt contains several factual
errors:- The default value of ip_local_port_range does not depend on the
amount of memory available in the system.

- 1024-4999 is not the default value.
- Etc.Clean up the mess.

Pull HSI (High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface) framework from Carlos Chinea:
"The High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a serial

them pending which they would like to push as soon as this integrated.
I am also working on the acceptance for an TI OMAP one, based on a

ACPI 5.0 adds the BGRT, a table that contains a pointer to the firmware
boot splash and associated metadata. This simple driver exposes it via
/sys/firmware/acpi in order to allow bootsplash applications to draw their
splash around the firmware image and reduce the number of jarring graphical
transitions during boot.Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett

Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt.
One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection
test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the
BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if
enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen.v2:

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.This workaround was commented in the code as:
"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"
"This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
wreckage. It should be safe to remove."H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:
"To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
caused some of these systems to fail.They were by far in the minority even back then."
Alan Cox further says:
"Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
DMA tended to go astray.Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
use."So, let's finally drop this.

[ If anyone cares then alternative instruction patching could be
used to replace HLT with a one-byte NOP instruction. Much simpler. ]

Some C states of new CPU might be not good. One reason is BIOS might
configure them incorrectly. To help developers root cause it quickly, the
patch adds a new sysfs entry, so developers could disable specific C state
manually.In addition, C state might have much impact on performance tuning, as it
takes much time to enter/exit C states, which might delay interrupt
processing. With the new debug option, developers could check if a deep C
state could impact performance and how much impact it could cause.Also add this option in Documentation/cpuidle/sysfs.txt.

Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields:
Highlights:
- Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features,
moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation.
- Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on
ext2/3/4.
- Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot
recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a
rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility
for further improvements.
- Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the
auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x.Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup.
Thanks to everyone!
There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I
suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally
turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly
symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while).And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well:
http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues
