s390/hvc_iucv: add simple wildcard matches to the iucv allow filter

2015-01-22T11:16:56Z

Introduce a wildcard character to filter a range of z/VM user IDs with a single filter entry. Only the leading portion up to the wildcard of an filter entry contributes to the match. This reduces the filter size and avoids configuration updates when deploying new terminal server instances. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Pull driver core update from Greg KH: "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1. They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.

tty-hvsi_lib: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "tty_kref_put"

2014-11-27T03:35:49Z

The tty_kref_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Here's a first pull request for powerpc updates for 3.18. The bulk of the additions are for the "cxl" driver, for IBM's Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI). Most of it's in drivers/misc, which Greg & Arnd maintain, Greg said he was happy for us to take it through our tree. There's the usual minor cleanups and fixes, including a bit of noise in drivers from some of those. A bunch of updates to our EEH code, which has been getting more testing.

xen: remove DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro

2014-10-06T09:27:57Z

The DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() macro looks a bit weird and causes sparse errors. Replace the uses with standard structure definitions instead. This is similar to pci and usb device registration. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel
