sunsab: Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console

2014-08-14T02:09:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit fe418231b195c205701c0cc550a03f6c9758fd9e ]

Fix detection of BREAK on sunsab serial console: BREAK detection was only
performed when there were also serial characters received simultaneously.
To handle all BREAKs correctly, the check for BREAK and the corresponding
call to uart_handle_break() must also be done if count == 0, therefore
duplicate this code fragment and pull it out of the loop over the received
characters.

Patch applies to 3.16-rc6.

bbc-i2c: Fix BBC I2C envctrl on SunBlade 2000

2014-08-14T02:09:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5cdceab3d5e02eb69ea0f5d8fa9181800baf6f77 ]

Fix regression in bbc i2c temperature and fan control on some Sun systems
that causes the driver to refuse to load due to the bbc_i2c_bussel resource not
being present on the (second) i2c bus where the temperature sensors and fan
control are located. (The check for the number of resources was removed when
the driver was ported to a pure OF driver in mid 2008.)

tg3: Modify tg3_tso_bug() to handle multiple TX rings

2014-08-14T02:09:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4d8fdc95c60e90d84c8257a0067ff4b1729a3757 ]

tg3_tso_bug() was originally designed to handle only HW TX ring 0, Commit
d3f6f3a1d818410c17445bce4f4caab52eb102f1 ("tg3: Prevent page allocation failure
during TSO workaround") changed the driver logic to use tg3_tso_bug() for all
HW TX rings that are enabled. This patch fixes the regression by modifying
tg3_tso_bug() to handle multiple HW TX rings.

Revert "net: phy: Set the driver when registering an MDIO bus device"

2014-08-14T02:09:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit ce7991e8198b80eb6b4441b6f6114bea4a665d66 ]

Commit a71e3c37960ce5f9 ("net: phy: Set the driver when registering an MDIO bus
device") caused the following regression on the fec driver:

The problem with the original commit is explained by Russell King:

"It has the effect (as can be seen from the oops) of attaching the MDIO bus
device (itself is a bus-less device) to the platform driver, which means
that if the platform driver supports power management, it will be called
to power manage the MDIO bus device.

Moreover, drivers do not expect to be called for power management
operations for devices which they haven't probed, and certainly not for
devices which aren't part of the same bus that the driver is registered
against."

This reverts commit a71e3c37960ce5f9c6a519bc1215e3ba9fa83e75.

macvlan: Initialize vlan_features to turn on offload support.

[ Upstream commit 081e83a78db9b0ae1f5eabc2dedecc865f509b98 ]

Macvlan devices do not initialize vlan_features.  As a result,
any vlan devices configured on top of macvlans perform very poorly.
Initialize vlan_features based on the vlan features of the lower-level
device.

bna: fix performance regression

[ Upstream commit c36c9d50cc6af5c5bfcc195f21b73f55520c15f9 ]

The recent commit "e29aa33 bna: Enable Multi Buffer RX" is causing
a performance regression. It does not properly update 'cmpl' pointer
at the end of the loop in NAPI handler bnad_cq_process(). The result is
only one packet / per NAPI-schedule is processed.

dm cache: fix race affecting dirty block count

2014-08-01T16:25:22+00:00

nr_dirty is updated without locking, causing it to drift so that it is
non-zero (either a small positive integer, or a very large one when an
underflow occurs) even when there are no actual dirty blocks.  This was
due to a race between the workqueue and map function accessing nr_dirty
in parallel without proper protection.

People were seeing under runs due to a race on increment/decrement of
nr_dirty, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/648

Fix this by using an atomic_t for nr_dirty.

dm bufio: fully initialize shrinker

2014-08-01T16:07:21+00:00

1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to
struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled.  The dm
bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data
in flags.  So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE.
But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags
(e.g. memcg awareness).

Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc()
when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker
and any other similar structures are zeroed.

This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects.
If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains
SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for
each numa node rather than just once.  This has been broken since 3.12.
