458c5b0822 nilfs2: clean up sketch file
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data.  It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete.  The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.

This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

de5bd88d5a kprobes: support per-kprobe disabling
Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes
temporarily.

disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified
kprobe.  So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while.
enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe.

aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes.  On the
other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it
because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers
and usually those help error handling.

fafd688e4c mm: add /proc controls for pdflush threads
Add /proc entries to give the admin the ability to control the minimum and
maximum number of pdflush threads.  This allows finer control of pdflush
on both large and small machines.

The rationale is simply one size does not fit all.  Admins on large and/or
small systems may want to tune the min/max pdflush thread count to best
suit their needs.  Right now the min/max is hardcoded to 2/8.  While
probably a fair estimate for smaller machines, large machines with large
numbers of CPUs and large numbers of filesystems/block devices may benefit
from larger numbers of threads working on different block devices.

Even if the background flushing algorithm is radically changed, it is
still likely that multiple threads will be involved and admins would still
desire finer control on the min/max other than to have to recompile the
kernel.

The patch adds '/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_min' and
'/proc/sys/vm/nr_pdflush_threads_max' with r/w permissions.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_min is 1 and the maximum value is
the current value of nr_pdflush_threads_max.  This minimum is required
since additional thread creation is performed in a pdflush thread itself.

The minimum value for nr_pdflush_threads_max is the current value of
nr_pdflush_threads_min and the maximum value can be 1000.

Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt is also updated.

3fbed4c61a mflash: initial support
This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.

Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
electronic devices.

Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
different operation (ATA, IO) modes.  ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem.  Actually it's one
chip SSD.  IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
IDE interface.

Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
write confirm)
B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.

This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.

1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol.  ATA layer have many low-
   level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
   But, mflash IO mode doesn't.

2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
   some custom command and modes.  (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
   this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.

3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
   (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
   debug).

4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product.  Even though some company
   already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
   standardization of custom command and mode.  That time (maybe October)
   I will talk to with ATA people.  If they accept integration, I will
   integrate.

e6574f2fbe V4L/DVB (11373): v4l2-common: add explicit v4l2_device pointer as first arg to new_(probed)_subdev
The functions v4l2_i2c_new_subdev and v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev relied on
i2c_get_adapdata to return the v4l2_device. However, this is not always
possible on embedded platforms. So modify the API to pass the v4l2_device
pointer explicitly.

If usb_interface.dev is used as dev parameter for v4l2_device_register
v4l2_dev.name contains the v4l driver/module name and usb device and
interface instead of a simple "usb x-y".
It also matches the recommendation to set the parent devices for usb
drivers.

256b02332a V4L/DVB (11321): pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handling
The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in
multiple queued buffers context :
 - poll/select problem
   The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg
   tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout".

 - multiple buffers DMA starting
   When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were
   always started right away. This is not optimal, as a
   special case appears when the first EOF was not yet
   reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started.

 - Maintainability
   DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be
   easily maintainable by anyone.

 - DMA hot chaining
   DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer
   is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case
   exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the
   chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the
   missed link buffer.

This patch attemps to address these issues / improvements.
