There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
attempting to open the resume device.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux
cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having
fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege
to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0.This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask,
restoring the old behavior.See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for
reference.Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4
and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.Changelog:
[Mar 23] Actually delete old CAP_FS_SET definition...

While it isn't the way the standard device binding model works, it is
OK for new-style drivers to implement attach_adapter. It may help
convert the renaming legacy drivers to new style drivers faster.Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
Cc: David Brownell -
Since the first argument to I2C_BOARD_INFO() must be a string constant,
there is no need to parenthesise it, and adding parentheses results in
an invalid initialiser for char[]. gcc obviously accepts this syntax as
an extension, but sparse complains, e.g.:drivers/net/sfc/boards.c:173:2: warning: array initialized from parenthesized string constant
Therefore, remove the parentheses.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks
Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
on another things that require lockdep.The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.This patch adds this missing warning.
Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
information.v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
open coded xchg().Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

In arch/x86/kernel/mpparse.c, smp_reserve_bootmem() has been called
