Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Don't leak ipvs-&gt;sysctl_tbl, from Tommi Rentala.

 2) Fix neighbour table entry leak in rocker driver, from Ying Xue.

 3) Do not emit bonding notifications for unregistered interfaces, from
    Nicolas Dichtel.

 4) Set ipv6 flow label properly when in TIME_WAIT state, from Florent
    Fourcot.

 5) Fix regression in ipv6 multicast filter test, from Henning Rogge.

 6) do_replace() in various footables netfilter modules is missing a
    check for 0 counters in the datastructure provided by the user.  Fix
    from Dave Jones, and found with trinity.

 7) Fix RCU bug in packet scheduler classifier module unloads, from
    Daniel Borkmann.

 8) Avoid deadlock in tcp_get_info() by using u64_sync.  From Eric
    Dumzaet.

 9) Input packet processing can race with inetdev_destroy() teardown,
    fix potential OOPS in ip_error() by explicitly testing whether the
    inetdev is still attached.  From Eric W Biederman.

10) MLDv2 parser in bridge multicast code breaks too early while
    parsing.  Fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo.

11) Asking for settings on non-zero PHYID doesn't work because we do not
    import the command structure from the user and use the PHYID
    provided there.  Fix from Arun Parameswaran.

12) Fix UDP checksums with IPV6 RAW sockets, from Vlad Yasevich.

13) Missing NF_TABLES depends for TPROXY etc can cause build failures,
    fix from Florian Westphal.

14) Fix netfilter conntrack to handle RFC5961 challenge ACKs properly,
    from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.

15) If netlink autobind retry fails, we have to reset the sockets portid
    back to zero.  From Herbert Xu.

16) VXLAN netns exit code unregisters using wrong device, from John W
    Linville.

17) Add some USB device IDs to ath3k and btusb bluetooth drivers, from
    Dmitry Tunin and Wen-chien Jesse Sung.

<content type='text'>
In commit 8ff16cf77ce3 ("Documentation: devicetree: m25p80: add "nor-jedec"
binding"), we added a generic "nor-jedec" binding to catch all
mostly-compatible SPI NOR flash which can be detected via the READ ID
opcode (0x9F). This was discussed and reviewed at the time, however
objections have come up since then as part of this discussion:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150511224646.GJ32500@ld-irv-0074

It seems the parties involved agree that "jedec,spi-nor" does a better
job of capturing the fact that this is SPI-specific, not just any NOR
flash.

This binding was only merged for v4.1-rc1, so it's still OK to change
the naming.

At the same time, let's move the documentation to a better name.

Next up: stop referring to code (drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c) from the
documentation.

KVM may turn a user page to a kernel page when kernel writes a readonly
user page if CR0.WP = 1. This shadow page entry will be reused after
SMAP is enabled so that kernel is allowed to access this user page

Fix it by setting SMAP &amp;&amp; !CR0.WP into shadow page's role and reset mmu
once CR4.SMAP is updated

A read() from a pty master may mistakenly indicate EOF (errno == -EIO)
after the pty slave has closed, even though input data remains to be read.
For example,

       pty slave       |        input worker        |    pty master
                       |                            |
                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
pty_write()            |                            |     input avail? no
  add data             |                            |     sleep
  schedule worker  ---&gt;|                            |     .
                       |---&gt; flush_to_ldisc()       |     .
pty_close()            |       fill read buffer     |     .
  wait for worker      |       wakeup reader    ---&gt;|     .
                       |       read buffer full?    |---&gt; input avail ? yes
                       |&lt;---   yes - exit worker    |     copy 4096 bytes to user
  TTY_OTHER_CLOSED &lt;---|                            |&lt;--- kick worker
                       |                            |

		                **** New read() before worker starts ****

                       |                            |   n_tty_read()
                       |                            |     input avail? no
                       |                            |     TTY_OTHER_CLOSED? yes
                       |                            |     return -EIO

Several conditions are required to trigger this race:
1. the ldisc read buffer must become full so the input worker exits
2. the read() count parameter must be &gt;= 4096 so the ldisc read buffer
   is empty
3. the subsequent read() occurs before the kicked worker has processed
   more input

However, the underlying cause of the race is that data is pipelined, while
tty state is not; ie., data already written by the pty slave end is not
yet visible to the pty master end, but state changes by the pty slave end
are visible to the pty master end immediately.

Pipeline the TTY_OTHER_CLOSED state through input worker to the reader.
1. Introduce TTY_OTHER_DONE which is set by the input worker when
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED is set and either the input buffers are flushed or
   input processing has completed. Readers/polls are woken when
   TTY_OTHER_DONE is set.
2. Reader/poll checks TTY_OTHER_DONE instead of TTY_OTHER_CLOSED.
3. A new input worker is started from pty_close() after setting
   TTY_OTHER_CLOSED, which ensures the TTY_OTHER_DONE state will be
   set if the last input worker is already finished (or just about to
   exit).

Remove tty_flush_to_ldisc(); no in-tree callers.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "A few patches have come up since the merge window.  The largest one is
  a rewrite of the PXA lubbock/mainstone IRQ handling.  This was already
  broken in 2011 by a change to the GPIO code and only noticed now.

  The other changes contained here are:

  MAINTAINERS file updates:

   - Ray Jui and Scott Branden are now co-maintainers for some of the
     mach-bcm chips, while Christian Daudt and Marc Carino have stepped
     down.

   - Andrew Victor is no longer maintaining at91.  Instead, Alexandre
     Belloni now becomes an official maintainer, after having done a
     bulk of the work for a while.

   - Baruch Siach, who added the mach-digicolor platform in 4.1 is now
     listed as maintainer

   - The git URL for mach-socfpga has changed

  Bug fixes:

   - Three bug fixes for new rockchip rk3288 code

   - A regression fix to make SD card support work on certain ux500
     boards

   - multiple smaller dts fixes for imx, omap, mvebu, and shmobile

   - a regression ﬁix for omap3 power consumption

   - a fix for regression in the ARM CCI bus driver

  Configuration changes:

   - more imx platforms are now enabled in multi_v7_defconfig"
