The changes introduced in commit 4b1a25f06b30b203 ("fix build when
CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS is on") got the UID check the wrong way
around, leading to "Permission denied" when a regular user attempts to
retrieve his quota (lfs quota -u ...) but allowing him to retrieve other
users quota.

There is a race condition
Assume we have *one* sync_fence object, with *one* sync_pt
which belongs to *one* sync_timeline, given this condition,
sync_timeline->kref will have two counts, one for sync_timeline
(implicit) and another for sync_pt.
Assume following is the situation on CPU
Theead-1 : (Thread which calls sync_timeline_destroy())
-> (some function calls)
-> sync_timeline_destory()
-> sync_timeline_signal() (CPU is inside this
function after putting reference to sync_timeline)
At this time Thread-2 comes and does following
Thread-2 : (fclose on fence fd)
> sync_fence_release() -> because of fclose() on fence object
-> sync_fence_free()
-> sync_pt_free()
-> kref_put(&pt->parent->kref, sync_timeline_free);
-> sync_timeline_free() (CPU is inside this because
this time kref will be zero after _put)
Thread-2 will free sync_timeline object before Thread-1
has finished its work inside sync_timeline_signal.
With this change we signals all sync_pt before putting
reference to sync_timeline object.

The last value written to a analog output channel is cached in the
private data of this driver for readback.
Currently, the wrong value is cached in the (*insn_write) functions.
The current code stores the data[n] value for readback afer the loop
has written all the values. At this time 'n' points past the end of
the data array.
Fix the functions by using a local variable to hold the data being
written to the analog output channel. This variable is then used
after the loop is complete to store the readback value. The current
value is retrieved before the loop in case no values are actually
written..

We should cap the SSID length at NDIS_802_11_LENGTH_SSID (32) characters

to ignore it instead of truncating it.

and gcc is entirely correct: that loop iterates from 0 to 3, and does this:
rtldm->bb_swing_idx_ofdm[p] = rtldm->default_ofdm_index;
but the bb_swing_idx_ofdm[] array only has two members. So the last
two iterations will overwrite bb_swing_idx_ofdm_current and the first
entry in bb_swing_idx_ofdm_base[].
Now, the bug does seem to be benign: bb_swing_idx_ofdm_current isn't
actually ever *used* as far as I can tell, and the first entry of
bb_swing_idx_ofdm_base[] will have been written with that same
"rtldm->default_ofdm_index" value.
But gcc is absolutely correct, and that driver needs fixing.
I've pulled it and will let it be because it doesn't seem to be an
issue in practice, but please fix it. The obvious fix would seem to
change the size of "2" to be "MAX_RF_PATH", but I'll abstain from
doing those kinds of changes in the merge when it doesn't seem to
affect the build or functionality).

The kernel to userspace communication routines (KUC) allocate
and limit the maximum cs_buf size to CR_MAXSIZE. However this
fails to account for the fact that the buffer is assumed to begin
with a struct kuc_hdr. To allocate and account for that space,
we introduce a new define, KUC_CHANGELOG_MSG_MAXSIZE.

Fix a few bugs in ion_system_heap:
Initialize the list node in the info block.
Don't store size_remaining in a signed long, allocating >2GB
could overflow, resulting in a call to sg_alloc_table with
nents=0 which panics. alloc_largest_available will never
return a block larger than size_remanining, so it can never
go negative.
Limit a single allocation to half of all memory. Prevents a
large allocation from taking down the whole system.

Avoid holding ashmem_mutex across code that can page fault. Page faults
grab the mmap_sem for the process, which are also held by mmap calls
prior to calling ashmem_mmap, which locks ashmem_mutex. The reversed
order of locking between the two can deadlock.
The calls that can page fault are read() and the ASHMEM_SET_NAME and
ASHMEM_GET_NAME ioctls. Move the code that accesses userspace pages
outside the ashmem_mutex.

Before this change, a timeline would only be removed from the timeline
list *after* the sync driver had its release_obj() called. However, the
driver's release_obj() may free resources needed by print_obj().
Although the timeline list is locked when print_obj() is called, it is
not locked when release_obj() is called. If one CPU was in print_obj()
when another was in release_obj(), the print_obj() may make unsafe
accesses.
It is not actually necessary to hold the timeline list lock when calling
release_obj() if the call is made after the timeline is unlinked from
the list, since there is no possibility another thread could be in --
or enter -- print_obj() for that timeline.
This change moves the release_obj() call to after the timeline is
unlinked, preventing the above race from occurring.

The ION_DUMMY option is bool, and hence this code is either
present or absent. It will never be modular, so using
module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets
mapped onto device_initcall, our use of device_initcall
directly in this change means that the runtime impact is
zero -- it will remain at level 6 in initcall ordering.

First set of IIO fixes for the 3.14 cycle.

to late to be appropriate.
* Another endian fix (ad799x adc) due to missuse of the IIO_ST macro (which
is going away very shortly)
* A reversed error check in ad5933 which will make the probe fail.
* A buffer overflow in the example code in the documentation.
* ad799x was freeing an irq that might or might not have been requested.
* tsl2563 was checking the wrong element of chan_spec for modifiers. Thus some
sysfs reads would give the wrong values.
* A missing dependency on HAS_IOMEM in spear_adc and lpc32xx was causing some
test build failures (on s390 and perhaps elsewhere).
I also have a few fixes queued up for things that went in during the 3.14
merge window which will follow as a separate pull request (to avoid rebasing

Zram has lived in staging for a LONG LONG time and have been
fixed/improved by many contributors so code is clean and stable now. Of
course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice.
The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and
recently our production team released android smart phone with zram
which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram
for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released
their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long
time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs.
In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example,
Lubuntu start to use it.
The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the
benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory
pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression
but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent
mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But
embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap
because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use
swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could
encounter OOM kill. :(
Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because
it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap
storage performance.
Quote from Luigi on Google
"Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap
to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully
and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to
manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting
processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive
with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the
available RAM. " and he announced.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html
Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device
so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on
the internet start zram as /var/tmp.
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html
Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.
Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.
Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.
zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.
zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.
Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.
This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.
The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
"The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but
various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request
contains:
- Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major
here, just minor fixes and cleanups.
- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.
The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.
Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.
Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.
- On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada.
- ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.
- ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for
the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.
- Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.
From Chun-Yi Lee.
- Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over
from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).
- New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in
drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper. From
Jiang Liu.
- New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.
- Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun
Guo, Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava,
Rashika Kheria, Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.
- intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support,
from Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar
Ramachandra.
- Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz
Majewski.
- powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

This comes directly from the Realtek tarball, filename:
wifi_driver_8821ae_0018.1129.2013.tar.gz
I mushed the three modules (btcoexist, rtlwifi and rtl8821ae) together
into one, in order to make it all build as one stand-alone module.
After the btcoexist driver gets merged upstream, I'll pull it out of
here, and will continue to work on removing this version of rtlwifi in
order to use the in-kernel one.
