Michael Hennerich a2be393114 Blackfin arch: reset POLAR setting when acquiring a gpio for the first time
when requesting a GPIO for the first time, the POLAR setting is not
set to a sane state.  this can lead to indeterminate behavior that
cannot be resolved without an explicit write to the Blackfin port POLAR
register.

when requesting a GPIO for the first time via gpio_request(), the POLAR
setting for the GPIO in question should be set to sane state.  this
should occur if the GPIO has not been allocated in any other way.

some examples:
 - when doing something like "request_irq(); gpio_request();" on the
   same GPIO, the POLAR setting should not be reset.
 - when doing "gpio_request(); gpio_request();" on the same GPIO, the
   POLAR setting should be reset only the first time and not the second.

Artem Bityutskiy dcf6a79dda write-back: fix nr_to_write counter
Commit 05fe478dd0 introduced some
@wbc->nr_to_write breakage.

It made the following changes:
 1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
 2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
 3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
    WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.

However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3.  Change 1 is a bug.  Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later.  And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.

This patch does the following:
 1. Undo changes 1 and 2
 2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
    in _code_, not only in the commit).

David S. Miller 9b02605826 sparc64: Kill bogus TPC/address truncation during 32-bit faults.
This builds upon eeabac7386
("sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.")

Upon further consideration, we actually should never see any
fault addresses for 32-bit tasks with the upper 32-bits set.

If it does every happen, by definition it's a bug.  Whatever
context created that fault would only have that fault satisfied
if we used the full 64-bit address.  If we truncate it, we'll
always fault the wrong address and we'll always loop faulting
forever.

So catch such conditions and mark them as errors always.  Log
the error and fail the fault.

Frederic Weisbecker 1a5645bc90 connector: create connector workqueue only while needed once
The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback.  If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.

This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.

But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.

So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once.  The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.

The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.

Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.

Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

Roel Kluin ff01b91636 cassini/sungem: limit reaches -1, but 0 tested
while (limit--)
	if (test())
		break;

if (limit <= 0)
	goto test_failed;

In the last iteration, limit is decremented after the test to 0.
If just thereafter test() succeeds and a break occurs, the goto
still occurs because limit is 0.
