The text referred to `XX', when only a single `X' actually
existed, so this commit changes it to just `X'; a similar
change has been made for `xx'.Also, `N' was used when it would have been more consistent
to use `X' again, so this commit replaces `N' with `X'.This commit also chooses to leave `X' as the placeholder
for the current version of the source, and then makes `x'
the placeholder for any version number; fortunately nothing
really depends on this subtlety being understood.Because `x' is already being used when discussing version
numbers, this commit changes such filename references as
`xxx.rej' to `some-file-name.rej'.Signed-off-by: Michael Witten

Pull two more small regmap fixes from Mark Brown:
- Now we have users for it that aren't running Android it turns out
that regcache_sync_region() is much more useful to drivers if it's

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger -
Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
manifested in a variety of ugly ways.(nab: Drop unused struct fc_exch *ep in ft_recv_seq)

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them. This is preparation for that.This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:- some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
bit count instruction, for example.- I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have
more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
this.(and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
right thing to do, of course)Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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.

The original XenoLinux code has always had things this way, and for
compatibility reasons (in particular with a subsequent pciback
adjustment) upstream Linux should behave the same way (allowing for two
distinct error indications to be returned by the backend).Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich
Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk -
Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a
positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount
requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an
operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation
results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according
to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux
behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here,
passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

which returns the polarity and trigger for the IRQs. That function calls
mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the
mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger
overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled
with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the
mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt.The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops
struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this
work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant
of the fake IOAPIC entries.Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
