Currently, native capacity unlocking is initiated only when a
recognized partition extends beyond the end of the disk. However,
there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can
lead to misdetection of partitions.
* Partition table is fully beyond EOD.
* Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones).
* Recognized partition starts beyond EOD.
This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the
above three cases are handled too. For the first two, @state tracks
whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during
partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly.
The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case.

drbd: Do not upgrade state to Outdated if already Inconsistent [Bugz 277]
There was a race condition:
In a situation with a SyncSource+Primary and a SyncTarget+Secondary node,
and a resync dependency to some other device. After both nodes decided
to do the resync, the other device finishes its resync process.
At that time SyncSource already sent the P_SYNC_UUID packet, and
already updated its peer disk state to Inconsistent.
The SyncTarget node waits for the P_SYNC_UUID and sends a state packet
to report the resync dependency change. That packet still carries
a disk state of Outdated.
Impact:
If application writes come in, during that time on the Primary node,
those do not get replicated, and the out-of-sync counter gets increased.
=> The completion of resync is not detected on the primary node.
=> stalled.
Those blocks get resync'ed with the next resync, since the are get
marked as out-of-sync in the bitmap.

x86/PCI: compute Address Space length rather than using _LEN
ACPI _CRS Address Space Descriptors have _MIN, _MAX, and _LEN. Linux has
been computing Address Spaces as [_MIN to _MIN + _LEN - 1]. Based on the
tests in the bug reports below, Windows apparently uses [_MIN to _MAX].
Per spec (ACPI 4.0, Table 6-40), for _CRS fixed-size, fixed location
descriptors, "_LEN must be (_MAX - _MIN + 1)", and when that's true, it
doesn't matter which way we compute the end. But of course, there are
BIOSes that don't follow this rule, and we're better off if Linux handles
those exceptions the same way as Windows.
This patch makes Linux use [_MIN to _MAX], as Windows seems to do. This
effectively reverts d558b483d5 and 03db42adfe and replaces them with
simpler code.

This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.
This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.
Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

cdc_ether: fix autosuspend for mbm devices
Autosuspend works until you bring the wwan interface up, then the
device does not enter autosuspend anymore.
The following patch fixes the problem by setting the .manage_power
field in the mbm_info struct to the same as in the cdc_info struct
(cdc_manager_power).

gianfar: Wait for both RX and TX to stop
When gracefully stopping the controller, the driver was continuing if
*either* RX or TX had stopped. We need to wait for both, or the
controller could get into an invalid state.

keys: the request_key() syscall should link an existing key to the dest keyring
The request_key() system call and request_key_and_link() should make a
link from an existing key to the destination keyring (if supplied), not
just from a new key to the destination keyring.
This can be tested by:
ring=`keyctl newring fred @s`
keyctl request2 user debug:a a
keyctl request user debug:a $ring
keyctl list $ring
If it says:
keyring is empty
then it didn't work. If it shows something like:
1 key in keyring: 1070462727: --alswrv 0 0 user: debug:a
then it did.
request_key() system call is meant to recursively search all your keyrings for
the key you desire, and, optionally, if it doesn't exist, call out to userspace
to create one for you.
If request_key() finds or creates a key, it should, optionally, create a link
to that key from the destination keyring specified.
Therefore, if, after a successful call to request_key() with a desination
keyring specified, you see the destination keyring empty, the code didn't work
correctly.
If you see the found key in the keyring, then it did - which is what the patch
is required for.

gpio: fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug
Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002
He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()). As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.
This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

keys: don't need to use RCU in keyring_read() as semaphore is held
keyring_read() doesn't need to use rcu_dereference() to access the keyring
payload as the caller holds the key semaphore to prevent modifications
