Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe:
 "Core block IO bits for 3.7.  Not a huge round this time, it contains:

   - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation
     and freeing.

   - WRITE_SAME support from Martin.

   - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes
     the block size of a device.

   - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).

   - A few other minor fixups."

Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton.  It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").

So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing
  using the meta_bg feature.  This allows us to resize file systems
  which are greater than 16TB.  In addition, the speed of online
  resizing has been improved in general.

  We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks,
  in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good
  work by Dmitry Monakhov.

  There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups
  from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have
  submitted fixes for the first time."

Add support to export the device description obtained from the ACPI _STR
method, if one exists for a device, to user-space via a sysfs interface.
This new interface provides a standard and platform neutral way for users
to obtain the description text stored in the ACPI _STR method.  If no
_STR method exists for the device, no sysfs 'description' file will be
created.  The 'description' file will be located in the /sys/devices/
directory using the device's path.

/sys/device/<bus>/<bridge path>/<device path>.../firmware_node/description

Example:

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.07.0/0000:0e:00.0/firmware_node/description

It can also be located using the ACPI device path, for example:

/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/PNP0A08:00/device:13/device:15/description
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/ACPI0004:00/ACPI0004:01/ACPI0007:02/description

Execute the 'cat' command on the 'description' file to obtain the
description string for that device.

This patch also includes documentation describing how the new sysfs
interface works

Changes from v1-v2 based on comments by Len Brown and Fengguang Wu
* Removed output "No Description" and leaving a NULL attribute if the
_STR method failed to evaluate.

* In acpi_device_remove_files() removed the redundent check of
dev->pnp.str_obj before calling free.  This check triggered a message
from smatch.

Pull power management updates from Rafael J Wysocki:

 - Improved system suspend/resume and runtime PM handling for the SH
   TMU, CMT and MTU2 clock event devices (also used by ARM/shmobile).

 - Generic PM domains framework extensions related to cpuidle support
   and domain objects lookup using names.

 - ARM/shmobile power management updates including improved support for
   the SH7372's A4S power domain containing the CPU core.

 - cpufreq changes related to AMD CPUs support from Matthew Garrett,
   Andre Przywara and Borislav Petkov.

 - cpu0 cpufreq driver from Shawn Guo.

 - cpufreq governor fixes related to the relaxing of limit from Michal
   Pecio.

 - OMAP cpufreq updates from Axel Lin and Richard Zhao.

 - cpuidle ladder governor fixes related to the disabling of states from

 - Runtime PM core updates related to the interactions with the system
   suspend core from Alan Stern and Kevin Hilman.

 - Wakeup sources modification allowing more helper functions to be
   called from interrupt context from John Stultz and additional
   diagnostic code from Todd Poynor.

 - System suspend error code path fix from Feng Hong.

Fixed up conflicts in cpufreq/powernow-k8 that stemmed from the
workqueue fixes conflicting fairly badly with the removal of support for
hardware P-state chips.  The changes were independent but somewhat
intertwined.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:

 1) GRE now works over ipv6, from Dmitry Kozlov.

 2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.

 3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

 4) Make openvswitch network namespace aware, from Pravin B Shelar.

 5) IPV6 NAT implementation, from Patrick McHardy.

 6) Server side support for TCP Fast Open, from Jerry Chu and others.

 7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
    outgoing networking traffic.  This benefits processes that have very
    many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.

    From Eric Dumazet.

10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
    smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail.  Benefits are
    a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
    allocator c) less waste of space.

    From Eric Dumazet.

11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.

12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
    limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
    From Stephen Hemminger.

13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
    perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.

Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.
