serial: imx: distinguish the imx6q uart from the others
We will add the DMA support for the imx uart. For the firmware's limit,
only the imx6 serial chips (including the imx6q, imx6dl, imx6sl) can
support the DMA.
This patch adds the necessary macro and helper to distinguish the
imx6q uart from the other imx uart. Other chips can use the "fsl,imx6q-uart"
to enable the DMA support.
This patch also replaces the check "is_imx21_uart()" with "!is_imx1_uart()".

tty/hvc_iucv: Disconnect IUCV connection when lowering DTR
Implement the dtr_rts() hvc console callback to improve control when to
disconnect the IUCV connection. Previously, the IUCV connection was
disconnected during the notifier_del() callback, i.e., when the last file
descriptor to the hvc terminal device was closed.
Recent changes in login programs caused undesired disconnects during the

tty: Remove extra wakeup from pty write() path
Acquiring the write_wait queue spin lock now accounts for the largest
slice of cpu time on the tty write path. Two factors contribute to
this situation; a overly-pessimistic line discipline write loop which
_always_ sets up a wait loop even if i/o will immediately succeed, and
on ptys, a wakeup storm from reads and writes.
Writer wakeup does not need to be performed by the pty driver.
Firstly, since the actual i/o is performed within the write, the
line discipline write loop will continue while space remains in
the flip buffers. Secondly, when space becomes avail in the
line discipline receive buffer (and thus also in the flip buffers),
the pty unthrottle re-wakes the writer (non-flow-controlled line
disciplines unconditionally unthrottle the driver when data is
received). Thus, existing in-kernel i/o is guaranteed to advance.
Finally, writer wakeup occurs at the conclusion of the line discipline
write (in tty_write_unlock()). This guarantees that any user-space write
waiters are woken to continue additional i/o.

In canonical mode, an EOF which is not the first character of the line
causes read() to complete and return the number of characters read so
far (commonly referred to as EOF push). However, if the previous read()
returned because the user buffer was full _and_ the next character
is an EOF not at the beginning of the line, read() must not return 0,

The TTY_PUSH flag is used to indicate an EOF was received which is not

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.
- Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
that we are compatible with Windows 8.
- Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
(that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

ext3: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag
When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
inode_init_always(). We can use the following program to trigger it:
Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink. So this commit
tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.

Pull staging tree fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread
across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in
through this tree.
I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers
who originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR
still will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver
pretty much obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now
prevents people from sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that
will never go anywhere.
It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that
happened in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)"
