c934878cc0 Serial: pxa: work around Errata #75
Intel(R) PXA27x Processor Family Specification Update (Nov 2005)
says:

  E75. UART: Baud rate may not be programmed correctly on
       back-to-back writes.

  Problem:
  When programming the Divisor Latch registers, Low and High (DLL and
  DLH), with back-to-back writes, the second register write may not
  take effect. The result is an incorrect baud rate.

  Workaround:
  After programming the first Divisor Latch register, read and verify
  it before programming the second Divisor Latch register.

This was hit when changing the baud rate from 115200 to 9600 while
receiving characters at 9600 Bd.

And fixed indention of some comments nearby.

e93737b0f0 net: Handle NETREG_UNINITIALIZED devices correctly
Fix two problems:

1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
   and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
   when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
   of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
   remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
   are leaked/unregistered.

2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
   since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
   processed.

Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
	1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
	   ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
	    free. Usage count = 1")
	2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
	   and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
	   during subsequent registration.

Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.

fc5bc4c85c xfs: Wrapped journal record corruption on read at recovery
Summary of problem:

If a journal record wraps at the physical end of the journal, it has to be
read in two parts in xlog_do_recovery_pass(): a read at the physical end and a
read at the physical beginning.  If xlog_bread() has to re-align the first
read, the second read request does not take that re-alignment into account.
If the first read was re-aligned, the second read over-writes the end of the
data from the first read, effectively corrupting it.  This can happen either
when reading the record header or reading the record data.

The first sanity check in xlog_recover_process_data() is to check for a valid
clientid, so that is the error reported.

Summary of fix:

If there was a first read at the physical end, XFS_BUF_PTR() returns where the
data was requested to begin.  Conversely, because it is the result of
xlog_align(), offset indicates where the requested data for the first read
actually begins - whether or not xlog_bread() has re-aligned it.

Using offset as the base for the calculation of where to place the second read
data ensures that it will be correctly placed immediately following the data
from the first read instead of sometimes over-writing the end of it.

The attached patch has resolved the reported problem of occasional inability
to recover the journal (reporting "bad clientid").

numbers with this, but we're getting some beating for not using it,
and the knowledge definitely could help the block code to make better
decisions.

033da48fda xfs: reset the i_iolock lock class in the reclaim path
The iolock is used for protecting reads, writes and block truncates
against each other.  We have two classes of callers, the first one is
induced by a file operation and requires a reference to the inode be
held and not dropped after the operation is done:

 - xfs_vm_vmap, xfs_vn_fallocate, xfs_read, xfs_write, xfs_splice_read,
   xfs_splice_write and xfs_setattr are all implementations of VFS
   methods that require a live inode
 - xfs_getbmap and xfs_swap_extents are ioctl subcommand for which the
   same is true
 - xfs_truncate_file is only called on quota inodes just returned from
   xfs_iget
 - xfs_sync_inode_data does the lock just after an igrab()
 - xfs_filestream_associate and xfs_filestream_new_ag take the iolock
   on the parent inode of an inode which by VFS rules must be referenced

And we have various calls to truncate blocks past EOF or the whole
file when dropping the last reference to an inode.  Unfortunately
lockdep complains when we do memory allocations that can recurse into
the filesystem in the first class because the second class happens to
take the same lock.  To avoid this re-init the iolock in the beginning
of xfs_fs_clear_inode to get a new lock class.

80641dc66a xfs: I/O completion handlers must use NOFS allocations
When completing I/O requests we must not allow the memory allocator to
recurse into the filesystem, as we might deadlock on waiting for the
I/O completion otherwise.  The only thing currently allocating normal
GFP_KERNEL memory is the allocation of the transaction structure for
the unwritten extent conversion.  Add a memflags argument to
_xfs_trans_alloc to allow controlling the allocator behaviour.
