The zcrypt device driver has been split into base/bus module, api-module,
card modules and message type modules. The base module has been renamed
from z90crypt to ap.
A module alias (with the well-known z90crypt identifier) will be introduced
that enable users to use their existing way to load the zcrypt device driver.Signed-off-by: Ingo Tuchscherer

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
trickeled in.Highlights:
1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network
device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.
Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")From Eliezer Tamir.
2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
Eric Dumazet.3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
Pavel Emelyanov.5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
Rony Efraim.6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.
7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
from Cong Wang.9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular,
support receiving on multiple UDP ports.10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel
Borkmann.11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
devices. From Nicolas Dichtel.12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
From Daniel Borkmann.13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
from Johannes Berg.14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet.15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
Cheng.16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
Horman.17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle
network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri
Pirko and Timo Teräs.18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
Huewe.19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet.20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel.21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.
22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From
Willem de Bruijn.23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
Dumazet.24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also
from Eric Dumazet.25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
from Vlad Yasevich.26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti.
27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
too, from David Majnemer.28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa.30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Fix various weird constructions of strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src)).
Length limits should be about the space available in the destination,
not repurposed as a method to either always include or always exclude a
trailing NULL byte. Either the NULL should always be copied (using
strlcpy), or it should not be copied (using something like memcpy).
Readable code should not depend on the weird behavior of strncpy when it
hits the length limit. Better to avoid the anti-pattern entirely.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: revert getdelays.c part due to missing bsd/string.h]

Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
even other devices.This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
though only one device exhibited an error.To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
__dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
new request which would have the
DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke

This patch implements generic block layer timeout handling

Originally the DASD device tasklet would process the entries on
the ccw_queue until the first non-final request was found.
Which was okay as long as all requests have the same retries and
expires parameter.
However, as we're now allowing to modify both it is possible to
have requests _after_ the first request which already have expired.
So we need to check all requests in the device tasklet.Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke

Using static data for fields which are accessed by HW will fail if
the driver is build as a module (since this would be vmalloc'ed
memory). This Bug was revealed via
"s390: remove virt_to_phys implementation" - the old virt_to_phys
implementation would have translated the address but it was not
guaranteed that the memory was contiguous.Fix it by putting the data on the stack.

There are three users of adapter interrupts: AP, QDIO and PCI. Each
registers a single adapter interrupt with independent ISCs. Define
a "struct airq" with the interrupt handler, a pointer and a mask for
the local summary indicator and the ISC for the adapter interrupt
source. Convert the indicator array with its fixed number of adapter
interrupt sources per ISE to an array of hlists. This removes the
limitation to 32 adapter interrupts per ISC and allows for arbitrary

Add a kernel parameter to be able to specify the number of pages to be
used as output buffer by the line-mode sclp driver and the vt220 sclp
driver. The current number of output pages is 6, if the service element
is unavailable the boot messages alone can fill up the output buffer.
If this happens the system blocks until the service element is working
again. For a large LPAR with many devices it is sensible to have the
ability to increase the output buffer size. To help to debug this
situation add a counter for the page-pool-empty situation and make it
available as a sclp driver attribute.
To avoid the system to stall until the service element works again
add another kernel parameter to allow to drop output buffers.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

generations of OSA Express cards, while new generations of OSA
Express cards require extra coding of their reasonable default.To cover future OSA Express generations the qeth default standard
