The following warning was seen on 3.9 when a corrected PCIe error was being
handled by the AER subsystem.

WARNING: at .../drivers/pci/search.c:214 pci_get_dev_by_id+0x8a/0x90()

This occurred because a call to pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() was added to
cper_print_pcie() to setup for the call to cper_print_aer().  The warning
showed up because cper_print_pcie() is called in an interrupt context and
pci_get* functions are not supposed to be called in that context.

The solution is to move the cper_print_aer() call out of the interrupt
context and into aer_recover_work_func() to avoid any warnings when calling
pci_get* functions.

<title>wait: fix false timeouts when using wait_event_timeout()</title>

<content type='text'>
Many callers of the wait_event_timeout() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() expect that the return value will be
positive if the specified condition becomes true before the timeout
elapses.  However, at the moment this isn't guaranteed.  If the wake-up
handler is delayed enough, the time remaining until timeout will be
calculated as 0 - and passed back as a return value - even if the
condition became true before the timeout has passed.

Fix this by returning at least 1 if the condition becomes true.  This
semantic is in line with what wait_for_condition_timeout() does; see
commit bb10ed09 ("sched: fix wait_for_completion_timeout() spurious
failure under heavy load").

Daniel said "We have 3 instances of this bug in drm/i915.  One case even
where we switch between the interruptible and not interruptible
wait_event_timeout variants, foolishly presuming they have the same
semantics.  I very much like this."

One such bug is reported at

Add RapidIO enumeration/discovery start from user space.  User space
start allows to defer RapidIO fabric scan until the moment when all
participating endpoints are initialized avoiding mandatory synchronized
start of all endpoints (which may be challenging in systems with large
number of RapidIO endpoints).

Systems that use RapidIO fabric may need to implement their own
enumeration and discovery methods which are better suitable for needs of
a target application.

The following set of patches is intended to simplify process of
introduction of new RapidIO fabric enumeration/discovery methods.

The first patch offers ability to add new RapidIO enumeration/discovery
methods using kernel configuration options.  This new configuration
option mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method(s) from the list of existing methods or use
external module(s).

This patch also updates the currently existing enumeration/discovery
code to be used as a statically linked or modular method.

The corresponding configuration option is named "Basic
enumeration/discovery" method.  This is the only one configuration
option available today but new methods are expected to be introduced
after adoption of provided patches.

The second patch address a long time complaint of RapidIO subsystem
users regarding fabric enumeration/discovery start sequence.  Existing
implementation offers only a boot-time enumeration/discovery start which
requires synchronized boot of all endpoints in RapidIO network.  While
it works for small closed configurations with limited number of
endpoints, using this approach in systems with large number of endpoints
is quite challenging.

To eliminate requirement for synchronized start the second patch
introduces RapidIO enumeration/discovery start from user space.

For compatibility with the existing RapidIO subsystem implementation,
automatic boot time enumeration/discovery start can be configured in by
specifying "rio-scan.scan=1" command line parameter if statically linked
basic enumeration method is selected.

This patch:

Rework to implement RapidIO enumeration/discovery method selection
combined with ability to use enumeration/discovery as a kernel module.

This patch adds ability to introduce new RapidIO enumeration/discovery
methods using kernel configuration options.  Configuration option
mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method from the list of existing methods or use
external modules.  If a modular enumeration/discovery is selected each
RapidIO mport device can have its own method attached to it.

The existing enumeration/discovery code was updated to be used as
statically linked or modular method.  This configuration option is named
"Basic enumeration/discovery" method.

Several common routines have been moved from rio-scan.c to make them
available to other enumeration methods and reduce number of exported
symbols.

methods using kernel configuration options.  This new configuration
option mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method(s) from the list of existing methods or use
external module(s).

This patch also updates the currently existing enumeration/discovery
code to be used as a statically linked or modular method.

The corresponding configuration option is named "Basic
enumeration/discovery" method.  This is the only one configuration
option available today but new methods are expected to be introduced
after adoption of provided patches.

The second patch address a long time complaint of RapidIO subsystem
users regarding fabric enumeration/discovery start sequence.  Existing
implementation offers only a boot-time enumeration/discovery start which
requires synchronized boot of all endpoints in RapidIO network.  While
it works for small closed configurations with limited number of
endpoints, using this approach in systems with large number of endpoints
is quite challenging.

To eliminate requirement for synchronized start the second patch
introduces RapidIO enumeration/discovery start from user space.

For compatibility with the existing RapidIO subsystem implementation,
automatic boot time enumeration/discovery start can be configured in by
specifying "rio-scan.scan=1" command line parameter if statically linked
basic enumeration method is selected.

This patch:

Rework to implement RapidIO enumeration/discovery method selection
combined with ability to use enumeration/discovery as a kernel module.

This patch adds ability to introduce new RapidIO enumeration/discovery
methods using kernel configuration options.  Configuration option
mechanism allows to select statically linked or modular
enumeration/discovery method from the list of existing methods or use
external modules.  If a modular enumeration/discovery is selected each
RapidIO mport device can have its own method attached to it.

The existing enumeration/discovery code was updated to be used as
statically linked or modular method.  This configuration option is named
"Basic enumeration/discovery" method.

Several common routines have been moved from rio-scan.c to make them
available to other enumeration methods and reduce number of exported
symbols.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "It's been a while since my last pull request so quite a few fixes have
  piled up."

Indeed.

 1) Fix nf_{log,queue} compilation with PROC_FS disabled, from Pablo
    Neira Ayuso.

 2) Fix data corruption on some tg3 chips with TSO enabled, from Michael
    Chan.

 3) Fix double insertion of VLAN tags in be2net driver, from Sarveshwar
    Bandi.

 4) Don't have TCP's MD5 support pass &gt; PAGE_SIZE page offsets in
    scatter-gather entries into the crypto layer, the crypto layer can't
    handle that.  From Eric Dumazet.

 5) Fix lockdep splat in 802.1Q MRP code, also from Eric Dumazet.

 6) Fix OOPS in netfilter log module when called from conntrack, from
    Hans Schillstrom.

 7) FEC driver needs to use netif_tx_{lock,unlock}_bh() rather than the
    non-BH disabling variants.  From Fabio Estevam.

 8) TCP GSO can generate out-of-order packets, fix from Eric Dumazet.

 9) vxlan driver doesn't update 'used' field of fdb entries when it
    should, from Sridhar Samudrala.

10) ipv6 should use kzalloc() to allocate inet6 socket cork options,
    otherwise we can OOPS in ip6_cork_release().  From Eric Dumazet.

11) Fix races in bonding set mode, from Nikolay Aleksandrov.

12) Fix checksum generation regression added by "r8169: fix 8168evl
    frame padding.", from Francois Romieu.

13) ip_gre can look at stale SKB data pointer, fix from Eric Dumazet.

14) Fix checksum handling when GSO is enabled in bnx2x driver with
    certain chips, from Yuval Mintz.

15) Fix double free in batman-adv, from Martin Hundebøll.

16) Fix device startup synchronization with firmware in tg3 driver, from
    Nithin Sujit.

17) perf networking dropmonitor doesn't work at all due to mixed up
    trace parameter ordering, from Ben Hutchings.

18) Fix proportional rate reduction handling in tcp_ack(), from Nandita
    Dukkipati.

19) IPSEC layer doesn't return an error when a valid state is detected,
    causing an OOPS.  Fix from Timo Teräs.
