Commit 360782dde00a2e6e7d9fd57535f90934707ab8a8 (hwmon: (w83781d) Stop
abusing struct i2c_client for ISA devices) broke W83782D support for
devices connected on the ISA bus. You will hit a NULL pointer
dereference as soon as you read any device attribute. Other devices,
and W83782D devices on the SMBus, aren't affected.

Extend erase timeout in M25P80 SPI Flash driver.

The M25P80 drivers fails erasing sectors on a M25P128 because the ready
wait timeout is too short. Change the timeout from a simple loop count to a
suitable number of seconds.

It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current
"secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_
hashing area, so that it gets updated every time.

And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of
all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until
they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in
the same old "current-&gt;pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a
regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't
have a single seed.

Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It
has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous
seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will
feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference.

I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong:
having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness,
and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is
supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered
using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still
getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won
out.

md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has
which role in the array. e.g.
   rd2 -&gt; dev-sda

indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda.

These links are only present when the array is active.  They are
created immediately after -&gt;run is called, and so should be removed
immediately after -&gt;stop is called.
However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is
possible for -&gt;run to be called again, thus adding these links, before
they are removed.

So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when
the array is active.

Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array
to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient.

It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing
'active'.  This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean'
until the first write.

It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to
cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking
any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active').

Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as
clean can lead to races:  One program writes 'clean' to mark the
active array as clean at the same time as another program writes
'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array.  Depending on which
writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately
reactivated which isn't what was desired.

So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array.

This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external
metadata, so it suitable for -stable.
