NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page
cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache.This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows
filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed
from the page cache.Original patch by: Linus Torvalds

tcp_win_from_space() does the following:
if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale > (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
else
return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);"space" is int.
As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().
Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].
Fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20312
Steps to reproduce:
echo 32 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_adv_win_scale

Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP
configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot
option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature.This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as
this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for
general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting
may be very usuful for some workloads.This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default
behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected
then the feature is turned on by default.It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the
original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic
(defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with
noswapaccount).The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is
enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well)Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko

Asus UL30A has a 3G chip, but the radio is disabled by default.
The DSDT also reference a WIMAX device, which is not present on this model.This patch adds two new files: wwan and wimax to control WWAN and
WIMAX devices. It does not use rfkill, because like WLED and BLED,
we don't know yet that the two ACPI functions will always control the
radio, they may control only the leds on some hardware.We may add rfkill switchs later.

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking. The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it. To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
addresses. Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
dmesg_restrict sysctl. When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
enforced. When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: explain the config option in kernel.txt]
