staging: rtl8821ae: Remove FSF mailing address from rtl8821ae/hw.h header
Fix checkpatch check:
CHECK: Do not include the paragraph about writing to the Free Software
Foundation's mailing address from the sample GPL notice. The FSF has
changed addresses in the past, and may do so again. Linux already
includes a copy of the GPL.

staging: comedi: s626: use comedi_timeout() on remaining loops
There were just a handful of more while loops in this file that needed
timeouts, and this patch takes care of them. One new callback is
introduced, and all of the proper comedi_timeout() calls are then used.
The return type of s626_i2c_handshake() has been changed from uint32_t to
int so that a negative error code from comedi_timeout() can be propagated
if necessary.
staging: rtl8723au: Calling rtw_get_stainfo() with a NULL sta_addr will return NULL
This makes the follow-on check for psta != NULL pointless and makes
the whole exercise rather pointless. This is another case of why
blindly zero-initializing variables when they are declared is bad.
This bug seems to be present in multiple drivers provided by Realtek.
staging: rtl8723au: Fix case where ethtype was never obtained and always be checked against 0
Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
obtained for 8021x packets and the comparition against eapol_type
would always fail.
staging: rtl8723au: Remove a bunch of calls via indirect HAL interface and call functions directly
The 'HW' variable interface is confusing and simply obfuscates the
code, so this is the first patch in a series to remove it and make
direct calls to the functions in place.
cifs: Use min_t() when comparing "size_t" and "unsigned long"
On 32 bit, size_t is "unsigned int", not "unsigned long", causing the
following warning when comparing with PAGE_SIZE, which is always "unsigned
long":
fs/cifs/file.c: In function ‘cifs_readdata_to_iov’:
fs/cifs/file.c:2757: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
Introduced by commit 7f25bba819a3 ("cifs_iovec_read: keep iov_iter
between the calls of cifs_readdata_to_iov()"), which changed the
signedness of "remaining" and the code from min_t() to min().

sym53c8xx_2: Set DID_REQUEUE return code when aborting squeue
This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.
When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.
This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.
If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.
The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.
The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags. The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags. The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

powerpc: Don't try to set LPCR unless we're in hypervisor mode
Commit 8f619b5429d9 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on
interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR
without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode. The
result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under
PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction
interrupt at that point, causing a panic. The visible result is that
the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init".
This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before
setting LPCR. If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on
interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

futex: update documentation for ordering guarantees
Commits 11d4616bd07f ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter
counting code") and 69cd9eba3886 ("futex: avoid race between requeue and
wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes.
One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole
requeuing logic.
The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the
second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.
Pull yet more networking updates from David Miller:
1) Various fixes to the new Redpine Signals wireless driver, from
Fariya Fatima.
2) L2TP PPP connect code takes PMTU from the wrong socket, fix from
Dmitry Petukhov.
3) UFO and TSO packets differ in whether they include the protocol
header in gso_size, account for that in skb_gso_transport_seglen().
From Florian Westphal.
4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging
output path. From Toshiaki Makita.
5) Several call sites of sk->sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB
just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the
second argument via skb->len. This is dangerous because the moment
the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another
context and freed up.
It turns out also that none of the sk->sk_data_ready()
implementations even care about this second argument.
So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a
side effect.
6) Fix inverted test in tcp_v6_send_response(), from Lorenzo Colitti.
7) pktgen needs to do locking properly for LLTX devices, from Daniel
Borkmann.
8) xen-netfront driver initializes TX array entries in RX loop :-) From
Vincenzo Maffione.
9) After refactoring, some tunnel drivers allow a tunnel to be
configured on top itself. Fix from Nicolas Dichtel.
