Pull MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
 "Three main MTD fixes for 3.18:

   - A regression from 3.16 which was noticed in 3.17.  With the
     restructuring of the m25p80.c driver and the SPI NOR library
     framework, we omitted proper listing of the SPI device IDs.  This
     means m25p80.c wouldn't auto-load (modprobe) properly when built as
     a module.  For now, we duplicate the device IDs into both modules.

   - The OMAP / ELM modules were depending on an implicit link ordering.
     Use deferred probing so that the new link order (in 3.18-rc) can
     still allow for successful probing.

   - Fix suspend/resume support for LH28F640BF NOR flash"

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
 "A bit has accumulated, but it's been a week or so since my last batch
  of post-merge-window fixes, so...

   1) Missing module license in netfilter reject module, from Pablo.
      Lots of people ran into this.

   2) Off by one in mac80211 baserate calculation, from Karl Beldan.

   3) Fix incorrect return value from ax88179_178a driver's set_mac_addr
      op, which broke use of it with bonding.  From Ian Morgan.

   4) Checking of skb_gso_segment()'s return value was not all
      encompassing, it can return an SKB pointer, a pointer error, or
      NULL.  Fix from Florian Westphal.

      This is crummy, and longer term will be fixed to just return error
      pointers or a real SKB.

   6) Encapsulation offloads not being handled by
      skb_gso_transport_seglen().  From Florian Westphal.

   7) Fix deadlock in TIPC stack, from Ying Xue.

   8) Fix performance regression from using rhashtable for netlink
      sockets.  The problem was the synchronize_net() invoked for every
      socket destroy.  From Thomas Graf.

   9) Fix bug in eBPF verifier, and remove the strong dependency of BPF
      on NET.  From Alexei Starovoitov.

  10) In qdisc_create(), use the correct interface to allocate
      -&gt;cpu_bstats, otherwise the u64_stats_sync member isn't
      initialized properly.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  11) Off by one in ip_set_nfnl_get_byindex(), from Dan Carpenter.

  12) nf_tables_newchain() was erroneously expecting error pointers from
      netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats().  It only returna a valid pointer or
      NULL.  From Sabrina Dubroca.

  13) Fix use-after-free in _decode_session6(), from Li RongQing.

  14) When we set the TX flow hash on a socket, we mistakenly do so
      before we've nailed down the final source port.  Move the setting
      deeper to fix this.  From Sathya Perla.

  15) NAPI budget accounting in amd-xgbe driver was counting descriptors
      instead of full packets, fix from Thomas Lendacky.

  16) Fix total_data_buflen calculation in hyperv driver, from Haiyang
      Zhang.

  17) Fix bcma driver build with OF_ADDRESS disabled, from Hauke
      Mehrtens.

  18) Fix mis-use of per-cpu memory in TCP md5 code.  The problem is
      that something that ends up being vmalloc memory can't be passed
      to the crypto hash routines via scatter-gather lists.  From Eric
      Dumazet.

  19) Fix regression in promiscuous mode enabling in cdc-ether, from
      Olivier Blin.

  20) Bucket eviction and frag entry killing can race with eachother,
      causing an unlink of the object from the wrong list.  Fix from
      Nikolay Aleksandrov.

  21) Missing initialization of spinlock in cxgb4 driver, from Anish
      Bhatt.

  22) Do not cache ipv4 routing failures, otherwise if the sysctl for
      forwarding is subsequently enabled this won't be seen.  From
      Nicolas Cavallari"

Author: David Jeffery &lt;djeffery@redhat.com&gt;
Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading
to the end of a raw device.  Instead of returning a short read for a read that
extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device,
these reads now return EIO.

The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal
block devices.  Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks,
prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

Some drivers are unable to perform TX completions in a bound time.
They instead call skb_orphan()

Problem is skb_fclone_busy() has to detect this case, otherwise
we block TCP retransmits and can freeze unlucky tcp sessions on
mostly idle hosts.

Commit 0a31bc97c80c ("mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API") changed
page migration to uncharge the old page right away.  The page is locked,
unmapped, truncated, and off the LRU, but it could race with writeback
ending, which then doesn't unaccount the page properly:

test_clear_page_writeback()              migration
                                           wait_on_page_writeback()
  TestClearPageWriteback()
                                           mem_cgroup_migrate()
                                             clear PCG_USED
  mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()
    if (PageCgroupUsed(pc))
      decrease memcg pages under writeback

  release pc-&gt;mem_cgroup-&gt;move_lock

The per-page statistics interface is heavily optimized to avoid a
function call and a lookup_page_cgroup() in the file unmap fast path,
which means it doesn't verify whether a page is still charged before
clearing PageWriteback() and it has to do it in the stat update later.

Rework it so that it looks up the page's memcg once at the beginning of
the transaction and then uses it throughout.  The charge will be
verified before clearing PageWriteback() and migration can't uncharge
the page as long as that is still set.  The RCU lock will protect the
memcg past uncharge.

As far as losing the optimization goes, the following test results are
from a microbenchmark that maps, faults, and unmaps a 4GB sparse file
three times in a nested fashion, so that there are two negative passes
that don't account but still go through the new transaction overhead.
There is no actual difference:

 old:     33.195102545 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.01% )
 new:     33.199231369 seconds time elapsed       ( +-  0.03% )

The time spent in page_remove_rmap()'s callees still adds up to the
same, but the time spent in the function itself seems reduced:

     # Children      Self  Command        Shared Object       Symbol
 old:     0.12%     0.11%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap
 new:     0.12%     0.08%  filemapstress  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] page_remove_rmap

A follow-up patch would have changed the call signature.  To save the
trouble, just fold it instead.
