2015-12-17T19:20:13Z

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: - Two bug fixes for misuse of PAGE_MASK in scatterlist and dma-debug. These are tagged for -stable. The scatterlist impact is potentially corrupted dma addresses on HIGHMEM enabled platforms. - A minor locking fix for the NFIT hot-add implementation that is new in 4.4-rc. This would only trigger in the case a hot-add raced driver removal. * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dma-debug: Fix dma_debug_entry offset calculation Revert "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" nfit: acpi_nfit_notify(): Do not leave device locked

Revert "scatterlist: use sg_phys()"

2015-12-15T20:54:06Z

commit db0fa0cb0157 "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" did replacements of the form: phys_addr_t phys = page_to_phys(sg_page(s)); phys_addr_t phys = sg_phys(s) & PAGE_MASK; However, this breaks platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) > sizeof(unsigned long). Revert for 4.3 and 4.4 to make room for a combined helper in 4.5.

staging/lustre: remove IOC_LIBCFS_PING_TEST ioctl

2015-12-06T22:50:59Z

The ioctl IOC_LIBCFS_PING_TEST has not been used in ages. The recent nidstring changes which moved all the nidstring operations from libcfs to the LNet layer but this ioctl code was still using an nidstring operation that was causing a circular dependency loop between libcfs and LNet.

staging: iio: dummy: complete IIO events delivery to userspace

2015-11-21T15:56:44Z

Starting with commit fd2bb310ca (Staging: iio: Move evgen interrupt generation to irq_work) event processing is handled by calling both the top half and the threaded part properly simulating real hardware interrupts making use of threaded interrupts. This way the processing is split in 2 parts: * the IRQ handler that runs in IRQ context and only saves the event timestamp * the threaded handler that runs in process context, reads the events and pushes the in the userspace. If the IRQ handler returns IRQ_HANDLED the threaded handler is not even being called since the interrupt is considered to be processed. Because the iio dummy driver processes the events in the threaded handler the IRQ handler must return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD so that the threaded part would be awakened and called.

Revert "Staging: wilc1000: coreconfigurator: Drop unneeded wrapper functions"

2015-11-18T21:22:44Z

The source and destination pointers are misplaced. This will be like, ether_addr_copy(data, bssid + ADDR2); -> ether_addr_copy(bssid, data + ADDR2); and also to use ether_addr_copy, it has to be proved that src/dst address are properly aligned(2). I revert this as author agree to drop this patch. This reverts commit d4622f68db8095dd54179e3134e97812727f6b89. Signed-off-by: Glen Lee Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'iio-fixes-for-4.4a' of ssh://ra.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-linus

Jonathan writes: First set of IIO fixes for the 4.4 cycle. This set does not include those for issues introduced during the merge window. Fixes of those will follow in a future series. * ad5064 - Make sure the local i2c_write returns 0 on success rather than the number of bytes transfered. Otherwise we report an error on all writes. - Fix a shift for ad5629 and ad5669 which gives incorrect DAC output on these parts. * ad7793 - The product ID on the datasheet is wrong. Fix it in the driver. * IIO_DUMMY_EVGEN - select IRQ_WORK as a dependency. * lpc32xx - make sure clock is prepared before enabling. * si7020 - data byte order was reversed. Fix it. * vf610 - Internal temperature calculation was wrong if a different reference voltage was used. Now use a linear interpolation function to make it work over the full range. - Fix a division by zero in the case of a device tree property not being present (same issue two fixes). * xilinx XADC - VREFN scale was wrong - fix it.

Merge branch 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-11-11T01:23:49Z

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe: "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for (really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation. Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an opt-in feature for test purposes" * 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: direct-io: be sure to assign dio->bio_bdev for both paths directio: add block polling support NVMe: add blk polling support block: add block polling support blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers block: change ->make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie
