Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally
submitted by "Glenn Griffin" ; modified by
Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.Signed-off-by: "Glenn Griffin"

People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.
Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov

Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to
parport_register_device. parport_register_device holds the pointer to
"name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere.On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as
/proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip
proc node is completely missing.The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement.

The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local
atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to
local_ops.txt."Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then
there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process
and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly

Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness
interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL). It should be used instead of the native
thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible.This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default
when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available. The local
admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable".Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in
boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first
place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so
the detection routines can be really simple.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to
force the backlight support to not be enabled.It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that
is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when
available. This will be changed by a different patch.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh

Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads. They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries. If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*). If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads. Thanks to
Thomas Renninger for notifying me of this potential
problem.Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though. A different
patch will take care of this.Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
