libata: fix dma_unmap_sg misuse
libata passes the returned value of dma_map_sg() to
dma_unmap_sg(),which is the misuse of dma_unmap_sg().

To unmap a scatterlist, just call:
pci_unmap_sg(pdev, sglist, nents, direction);
Again, make sure DMA activity has already finished.
PLEASE NOTE: The 'nents' argument to the pci_unmap_sg call must be
the _same_ one you passed into the pci_map_sg call,
it should _NOT_ be the 'count' value _returned_ from the
pci_map_sg call.

libata: change drive ready wait after hard reset to 5s
This fixes problems during resume with drives that take longer than 1s to
be ready. The ATA-6 spec appears to allow 5 seconds for a drive to be
ready.
On one affected system, this patch changes "PM: resume devices took..."
message from 17 seconds to 4 seconds, and gets rid of a lot of ugly
timeout/error messages.
Without this patch, the libata code moves on after 1s, tries to send a
soft reset (which the drive doesn't see because it isn't ready) which also
times out, then an IDENTIFY command is sent to the drive which times out,
and finally the error handler will try to send another hard reset which
will finally get things working.

Squashfs: Fix oops when reading fsfuzzer corrupted filesystems
This fixes a code regression caused by the recent mainlining changes.
The recent code changes call zlib_inflate repeatedly, decompressing into
separate 4K buffers, this code didn't check for the possibility that
zlib_inflate might ask for too many buffers when decompressing corrupted
data.
I believe that this is because ext4_free_inode() uses atomic
bitops, and although ext4_new_inode() *used* to also use atomic
bitops for synchronization, commit 393418676a7602e1d7d3f6e560159c65c8cbd50e changed this to use
the sb_bgl_lock, so that we could also synchronize against
read_inode_bitmap and initialization of uninit inode tables.
However, that change left ext4_free_inode using atomic bitops,
which I think leaves no synchronization between setting &
unsetting bits in the inode table.
The below patch fixes it for me, although I wonder if we're
getting at all heavy-handed with this spinlock...

smack: fixes for unlabeled host support
The following patch (against 2.6.29rc5) fixes a few issues in the
smack/netlabel "unlabeled host support" functionnality that was added in
2.6.29rc. It should go in before -final.
1) smack_host_label disregard a "0.0.0.0/0 @" rule (or other label),
preventing 'tagged' tasks to access Internet (many systems drop packets with
IP options)
2) netmasks were not handled correctly, they were stored in a way _not
equivalent_ to conversion to be32 (it was equivalent for /0, /8, /16, /24,
/32 masks but not other masks)
3) smack_netlbladdr prefixes (IP/mask) were not consistent (mask&IP was not
done), so there could have been different list entries for the same IP
prefix; if those entries had different labels, well ...
4) they were not sorted
1) 2) 3) are bugs, 4) is a more cosmetic issue.
The patch :
-creates a new helper smk_netlbladdr_insert to insert a smk_netlbladdr,
-sorted by netmask length
-use the new sorted nature of smack_netlbladdrs list to simplify
smack_host_label : the first match _will_ be the more specific
-corrects endianness issues in smk_write_netlbladdr & netlbladdr_seq_show

x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace
init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining

It turns out that net_alive is unnecessary, and the original problem
that led to it being added was simply that the icmp code thought
it was a network device and wound up being unable to handle packets
while there were still packets in the network namespace.
Now that icmp and tcp have been fixed to properly register themselves
this problem is no longer present and we have a stronger guarantee
that packets will not arrive in a network namespace then that provided
by net_alive in netif_receive_skb. So remove net_alive allowing
packet reception run a little faster.
Additionally document the strong reason why network namespace cleanup
is safe so that if something happens again someone else will have
a chance of figuring it out.

Recently I had a kernel panic in icmp_send during a network namespace
cleanup. There were packets in the arp queue that failed to be sent
and we attempted to generate an ICMP host unreachable message, but
failed because icmp_sk_exit had already been called.
The network devices are removed from a network namespace and their
arp queues are flushed before we do attempt to shutdown subsystems
so this error should have been impossible.
It turns out icmp_init is using register_pernet_device instead
of register_pernet_subsys. Which resulted in icmp being shut down
while we still had the possibility of packets in flight, making
a nasty NULL pointer deference in interrupt context possible.
Changing this to register_pernet_subsys fixes the problem in
my testing.

netns: fix addrconf_ifdown kernel panic
When a network namespace is destroyed the network interfaces are
all unregistered, making addrconf_ifdown called by the netdevice
notifier.
In the other hand, the addrconf exit method does a loop on the network
devices and does addrconf_ifdown on each of them. But the ordering of
the netns subsystem is not right because it uses the register_pernet_device
instead of register_pernet_subsys. If we handle the loopback as
any network device, we can safely use register_pernet_subsys.
But if we use register_pernet_subsys, the addrconf exit method will do
exactly what was already done with the unregistering of the network
devices. So in definitive, this code is pointless.
I removed the netns addrconf exit method and moved the code to the
addrconf cleanup function.

x86: fix init_memory_mapping() to handle small ranges
Impact: fix failed EFI bootup in certain circumstances
Ying Huang found init_memory_mapping() has problem with small ranges
less than 2M when he tried to direct map the EFI runtime code out of
max_low_pfn_mapped.
It turns out we never considered that case and didn't check the range...

OMAP: enable smc911x support for LDP platform
The following patch enables SMC911x support to work on the OMAP LDP
board. Although the SMC911x driver will eventually be obsoleted, the
smsc911x patches are rather invasive for the -rc kernels.
Rather than risk destablising smsc911x, this simpler patch is preferred
to allow the network interface to work.

sctp: fix kernel panic with ERROR chunk containing too many error causes
If ERROR chunk is received with too many error causes in ESTABLISHED

This is because sctp limit the max length of cmds to 14, but while
ERROR chunk is received, one error cause will add around 2 cmds by
sctp_add_cmd_sf(). So many error causes will fill the limit of cmds

This patch fixed the problem.

Revert "menu: fix embedded menu snafu"
This reverts commit 155b25bcc28631a5b5230191aa3f56c40dfffa3f, which was
totally wrong - the "embedded" options still exists (very much so) even
on non-embedded platforms.
It's just that we don't bother with actually asking about them when
we're not embedded, we just take their default values (which is usually
'y' - the options add features that may not be worth it in a constrained
environment).

drm: Avoid client deadlocks when the master disappears.
This is done by
1) Wake up lock waiters when we close the master file descriptor.
Not when the master structure is removed, since the latter
requires the waiters themselves to release the refcount on the
master structure -> Deadlock.
2) Send a SIGTERM to all clients waiting for the lock.
Normally these clients will get a SIGPIPE when the X server dies,
but clients may also spin trying to grab the DRM lock, without
getting any sort of notification.

The COMPAT_BRK kconfig symbol does not depend on EMBEDDED, but it is in
