  This pile: assorted fixes (the first 3 are -stable fodder, IMO) and
  cleanups + %pd/%pD formats (dentry/file pathname, up to 4 last
  components) + several long-standing patches from various folks.

  There definitely will be a lot more (starting with Miklos'
  check_submount_and_drop() series)"

drivers: misc: ti-st: fix potential race if st_kim_start fails

2013-08-30T19:08:04+00:00

If st_kim_start() fails registered protocols should be removed. This is
done by calling st_reg_complete(), which as comment states is called
with spin lock held. But in st_register() when st_kim_start fails it
is called without holding spin lock, creating possibility of concurrent
access to st_gdata data members.
Hold spin lock while calling st_reg_complete if st_kim_start() fails.

Based on a patch from: PaX Team  in a mailing
list message at:
	http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120507/142707.html

Clang chokes on the notation "inl (%dx)" but works for "inl %dx"; GNU as accepts both forms.

VMCI: Add support for virtual IOMMU

2013-08-28T04:42:12+00:00

This patch adds support for virtual IOMMU to the vmci module.  We switch
to DMA consistent mappings for guest queuepair and doorbell pages that
are passed to the device.  We still allocate each page individually,
since there's no guarantee that we'll get a contiguous block of physical
for an entire queuepair (especially since we allow up to 128 MiB!).

Also made the split between guest and host in the kernelIf struct much
clearer.  Now it's obvious which fields are which.

VMCI: Remove non-blocking/pinned queuepair support

2013-08-28T04:42:12+00:00

We added this for a special case that doesn't exist on Linux.  Remove
the non-blocking/pinned queuepair code and simplify the driver in
preparation for adding virtual IOMMU support.
