Pull more networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix mlx4_en_netpoll implementation, it needs to schedule a NAPI
    context, not synchronize it.  From Chris Mason.

 2) Ipv4 flow input interface should never be zero, it should be
    LOOPBACK_IFINDEX instead.  From Cong Wang and Julian Anastasov.

 3) Properly configure MAC to PHY connection in mvneta devices, from
    Thomas Petazzoni.

 4) sys_recv should use SYSCALL_DEFINE.  From Jan Glauber.

    Nicolas Dichtel.

 6) Fix memory leak on seccomp filter attach, from Kees Cook.

 7) Fix lockdep warning for nested vlans, from Ding Tianhong.

 8) Crashes can happen in SCTP due to how the auth_enable value is
    managed, fix from Vlad Yasevich.

 9) Wireless fixes from John W Linville and co.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This contains two fixes.

  The first is to remove a duplication of creating debugfs files that
  already exist and causes an error report to be printed due to the
  failure of the second creation.

  The second is a memory leak fix that was introduced in 3.14"

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Viresh unearthed the following three hickups in the timer/timekeeping
  code:

   - Negated check for the result of a clock event selection

   - A missing early exit in the jiffies update path which causes
     update_wall_time to be called for nothing causing lock contention
     and wasted cycles in the timer interrupt

   - Checking a variable in the NOHZ code enable code for true which can
     only be set by that very code after the check succeeds.  That
     results in a rock solid runtime disablement of that feature"

tracing: Do not try to recreated toplevel set_ftrace_* files

2014-04-16T23:21:53+00:00

With the restructing of the function tracer working with instances, the
"top level" buffer is a bit special, as the function tracing is mapped
to the same set of filters. This is done by using a "global_ops" descriptor
and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it.

When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the
local instance and not the global_ops.

The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with
the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level
"set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this:

 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry
 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry

The reason they failed to be created was because they were created
twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the
same file twice.

seccomp: fix memory leak on filter attach

2014-04-16T19:25:53+00:00

This sets the correct error code when final filter memory is unavailable,
and frees the raw filter no matter what.
