It enables establishing active open connection using fw_ofld_connection work
request when cpl_act_open_rpl says TCAM full error which may be because
of LE hash collision. Current support is only for IPv4 active open connections.

Sets ntuple bits in active open requests. For T4 firmware greater than 1.4.10.0
ntuple bits are required to be set.

Adds nocong and enable_ecn module parameter options.

<title>random32: rename random32 to prandom</title>
<updated>2012-12-18T01:15:26+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=496f2f93b1cc286f5a4f4f9acdc1e5314978683f'/>
<id>496f2f93b1cc286f5a4f4f9acdc1e5314978683f</id>
<content type='text'>
This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

  void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
  u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
  void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
  				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
  u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
  				/* rename from prandom32() */

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
is getting worse.

As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
pseudo-random number library.

Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
difficult to rename too many users at once.

Pull block layer core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core block IO bits for 3.8.  The branch contains:

   - The final version of the surprise device removal fixups from Bart.

   - Don't hide EFI partitions under advanced partition types.  It's
     fairly wide spread these days.  This is especially dangerous for
     systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you
     want to keep them in sync.

   - Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE

   - Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using
     the home node (if known) from Jeff.

   - Export unplug tracepoint for MD.

   - Core improvements from Shaohua.  Reinstate the recursive merge, as
     the original bug has been fixed.  Add plugging for discard and also
     fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.

  There's a trivial merge in block/blk-exec.c due to a fix that went
  into 3.7-rc at a later point than -rc4 where this is based."

* 'for-3.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: export block_unplug tracepoint
  block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard
  block: discard granularity might not be power of 2
  deadline: Allow 0ms deadline latency, increase the read speed
  partitions: enable EFI/GPT support by default
  bsg: Remove unused function bsg_goose_queue()
  block: Make blk_cleanup_queue() wait until request_fn finished
  block: Avoid scheduling delayed work on a dead queue
  block: Avoid that request_fn is invoked on a dead queue
  block: Let blk_drain_queue() caller obtain the queue lock
  block: Rename queue dead flag

   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group-&gt;default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group-&gt;default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"

   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab)
   - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for
     symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab)
   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group-&gt;default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group-&gt;default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"

Pull first round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This patch set includes two large new drivers: mpt3sas (for the next
  gen fusion SAS hardware) and csiostor a FCoE offload driver for the
  Chelsio converged network cards (this includes some net changes which
  I've OK'd with DaveM).

  The rest of the patch is driver updates (qla2xxx, lpfc, hptiop,
  be2iscsi) plus a few assorted updates and bug fixes.

  We also have a Power Management rework in the Upper Layer Drivers
  preparatory to doing ACPI zero power optical devices, but the actual
  enabler is still being worked on.

  Signed-off-by: James Bottomley &lt;JBottomley@Parallels.com&gt;"
