Paul Mundt 617870632d maple: Kill useless private_data pointer.
We can simply wrap in to the dev_set/get_drvdata(), there's no reason
to track an extra level of private data on top of the struct device.

Commit 76e6ebfb40 ("netns: add namespace

ip_default_ttl ctl_table, but it is never set to a meaningful

rt_cache_invalidate(). Set extra2 to init_net, to avoid that.

Lennert Buytenhek e5a4a72d4f net: use software GSO for SG+CSUM capable netdevices
If a netdevice does not support hardware GSO, allowing the stack to
use GSO anyway and then splitting the GSO skb into MSS-sized pieces
as it is handed to the netdevice for transmitting is likely still
a win as far as throughput and/or CPU usage are concerned, since it
reduces the number of trips through the output path.

This patch enables the use of GSO on any netdevice that supports SG.
If a GSO skb is then sent to a netdevice that supports SG but does not
support hardware GSO, net/core/dev.c:dev_hard_start_xmit() will take
care of doing the necessary GSO segmentation in software.

Chris Larson 745e203164 net: fix missing pneigh entries in the neighbor seq_file code
When pneigh entries exist, but the user's read buffer isn't sufficient to
hold them all, one of the pneigh entries will be missing from the results.

In neigh_get_idx_any, the number of elements which neigh_get_idx
encountered is not correctly subtracted from the position number before
the call to pneigh_get_idx.  neigh_get_idx reduces the position by 1 for
each call to neigh_get_next, but it does not reduce it by one for the
first element (neigh_get_first). The patch alters the neigh_get_idx and
pneigh_get_idx functions to subtract one from pos, for the first element,
when pos is non-zero.

Miklos Szeredi 84209e02de mm: dont clear PG_uptodate on truncate/invalidate
Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read.  This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.

However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.

If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.

The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice.  But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).

The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).

Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

Eugeniy Meshcheryakov 3ab36ab685 try harder to load tty ldisc driver
Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1
because module ppp_async was not loaded.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 0ef89d25d3 mm/hugetlb: don't crash when HPAGE_SHIFT is 0
Some platform decide whether they support huge pages at boot time.  On
these, such as powerpc, HPAGE_SHIFT is a variable, not a constant, and is
set to 0 when there is no such support.

The patches to introduce multiple huge pages support broke that causing
the kernel to crash at boot time on machines such as POWER3 which lack
support for multiple page sizes.
