ecryptfs: fix use with tmpfs by removing d_drop from ecryptfs_destroy_inode
Since tmpfs has no persistent storage, it pins all its dentries in memory
so they have d_count=1 when other file systems would have d_count=0.
->lookup is only used to create new dentries. If the caller doesn't
instantiate it, it's freed immediately at dput(). ->readdir reads
directly from the dcache and depends on the dentries being hashed.
When an ecryptfs mount is mounted, it associates the lower file and dentry
with the ecryptfs files as they're accessed. When it's umounted and
destroys all the in-memory ecryptfs inodes, it fput's the lower_files and
d_drop's the lower_dentries. Commit 4981e081 added this and a d_delete in
2008 and several months later commit caeeeecf removed the d_delete. I
believe the d_drop() needs to be removed as well.
The d_drop effectively hides any file that has been accessed via ecryptfs
from the underlying tmpfs since it depends on it being hashed for it to
be accessible. I've removed the d_drop on my development node and see no
ill effects with basic testing on both tmpfs and persistent storage.
As a side effect, after ecryptfs d_drops the dentries on tmpfs, tmpfs
BUGs on umount. This is due to the dentries being unhashed.
tmpfs->kill_sb is kill_litter_super which calls d_genocide to drop
the reference pinning the dentry. It skips unhashed and negative dentries,
but shrink_dcache_for_umount_subtree doesn't. Since those dentries
still have an elevated d_count, we get a BUG().
This patch removes the d_drop call and fixes both issues.

xfs: ensure that sync updates the log tail correctly
Updates to the VFS layer removed an extra ->sync_fs call into the
filesystem during the sync process (from the quota code).
Unfortunately the sync code was unknowingly relying on this call to
make sure metadata buffers were flushed via a xfs_buftarg_flush()
call to move the tail of the log forward in memory before the final
transactions of the sync process were issued.
As a result, the old code would write a very recent log tail value
to the log by the end of the sync process, and so a subsequent crash
would leave nothing for log recovery to do. Hence in qa test 182,
log recovery only replayed a small handle for inode fsync
transactions in this case.
However, with the removal of the extra ->sync_fs call, the log tail
was now not moved forward with the inode fsync transactions near the
end of the sync procese the first (and only) buftarg flush occurred
after these transactions went to disk. The result is that log
recovery now sees a large number of transactions for metadata that
is already on disk.
This usually isn't a problem, but when the transactions include
inode chunk allocation, the inode create transactions and all
subsequent changes are replayed as we cannt rely on what is on disk
is valid. As a result, if the inode was written and contains
unlogged changes, the unlogged changes are lost, thereby violating
sync semantics.
The fix is to always issue a transaction after the buftarg flush
occurs is the log iѕ not idle or covered. This results in a dummy
transaction being written that contains the up-to-date log tail
value, which will be very recent. Indeed, it will be at least as
recent as the old code would have left on disk, so log recovery
will behave exactly as it used to in this situation.

jfs: fix diAllocExt error in resizing filesystem
Resizing the filesystem would result in an diAllocExt error in some
instances because changes in bmp->db_agsize would not get noticed if
goto extendBmap was called.

Correct fix for the "ioremap() causes build failure on S390" should have been
a dependancy on HAS_IOMEM. So we add this dependancy also (and leave the driver
in the ARM section for now).

[WATCHDOG] max63xx: be careful when disabling the watchdog
When shutting down the watchdog timer, special care must be taken
not to overwrite other bits in the register, as it may be shared
with other peripherals.
For example, on the Arcom Vulcan, the register is shared between
the watchdog and the PCI reset line...

[WATCHDOG] fixed book E watchdog period register mask.
A previous fix changed the WDTP function to use the period directly,
rather than subtracting from 63. However the mask generation was
not changed, so the mask was coming out as 0. This patch fixes it.

While current linux-2.6 kernel doesnt emit this warning, bug is latent
and might cause unexpected failures.
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() runs in process context, preemption enabled, so
must call netif_rx_ni() instead of netif_rx(), to make sure that we
process pending software interrupt.
Same change for ip6_dev_loopback_xmit()

When Wacom devices wake up from a sleep, the switch mode command
(wacom_query_tablet_data) is needed before wacom_open is called.
wacom_query_tablet_data should not be executed inside wacom_open
since wacom_open is called more than once during probe.
wacom_retrieve_hid_descriptor is removed from wacom_resume due
to the fact that the required descriptors are stored properly
upon system resume.
