Most of the LSM common audit work uses LSM_AUDIT_DATA_* for the naming.
This was not so for LSM_AUDIT_NO_AUDIT which means the generic initializer
cannot be used. This patch just renames the flag so the generic
initializer can be used.

In commit 9df93939b735 ("ext3: Use bitops to read/modify
EXT3_I(inode)->i_state") ext3 changed its internal 'i_state' variable to
use bitops for its state handling. However, unline the same ext4
change, it didn't actually change the name of the field when it changed
the semantics of it.
As a result, an old use of 'i_state' remained in fs/ext3/ialloc.c that
initialized the field to EXT3_STATE_NEW. And that does not work
_at_all_ when we're now working with individually named bits rather than
values that get masked. So the code tried to mark the state to be new,
but in actual fact set the field to EXT3_STATE_JDATA. Which makes no
sense at all, and screws up all the code that checks whether the inode
was newly allocated.
In particular, it made the xattr code unhappy, and caused various random
behavior, like apparently
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577911
So fix the initialization, and rename the field to match ext4 so that we
don't have this happen again.

Add new flag MSG_WAITFORONE for the recvmmsg() syscall.
When this flag is specified for a blocking socket, recvmmsg()
will only block until at least 1 packet is available. The
default behavior is to block until all vlen packets are
available. This flag has no effect on non-blocking sockets
or when used in combination with MSG_DONTWAIT.

The order of the IPv6 raw table is currently reversed, that makes impossible
to use the NOTRACK target in IPv6: for example if someone enters
ip6tables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j NOTRACK
and if we receive fragmented packets then the first fragment will be
untracked and thus skip nf_ct_frag6_gather (and conntrack), while all
subsequent fragments enter nf_ct_frag6_gather and reassembly will never
successfully be finished.

In the extended CSD register the CARD_TYPE is an 8-bit value of which the
upper 6 bits were reserved in JEDEC specifications prior to version 4.4.
In version 4.4 two of the reserved bits were designated for identifying
support for the newly added High-Speed Dual Data Rate. Unfortunately the
mmc_read_ext_csd() function required that the reserved bits be zero
instead of ignoring them as it should.
This patch makes mmc_read_ext_csd() ignore the CARD_TYPE bits that are
reserved or not yet supported. It also stops the function jumping to the
end as though an error occurred, when it is only warns that the CARD_TYPE
bits (that it does interpret) are invalid.

Commit 57fe60df ("reiserfs: add atomic addition of selinux attributes
during inode creation") contains a bug that will cause it to oops when
mounting a file system that didn't previously contain extended attributes
on a system using security.* xattrs.
The issue is that while creating the privroot during mount
reiserfs_security_init calls reiserfs_xattr_jcreate_nblocks which
dereferences the xattr root. The xattr root doesn't exist, so we get an
oops.

The dma map fields in the skb_shared_info structure no longer has any users
and can be dropped since it is making the skb_shared_info unecessarily larger.
Running slabtop show that we were using 4K slabs for the skb->head on x86_64 w/
an allocation size of 1522. It turns out that the dma_head and dma_maps array
made skb_shared large enough that we had crossed over the 2k boundary with
standard frames and as such we were using 4k blocks of memory for all skbs.

Affected machines: IntelliStation Z20/Z30. Note that the i2c-i801 driver no

Instead of requiring PCMCIA socket drivers to call various functions
during their (bus) resume and suspend functions, register an own
dev_pm_ops for this class. This fixes several suspend/resume bugs
seen on db1xxx-ss, and probably on some other socket drivers, too.
With regard to the asymmetry with only _noirq suspend, but split up
resume, please see bug 14334 and commit 9905d1b411946fb3 .

USB 3 and Wireless USB specify a logarithmic encoding of the endpoint
interval that matches the USB 2 specification. usb_fill_int_urb() didn't
know that and was filling in the interval as if it was USB 1.1. Fix
usb_fill_int_urb() for SuperSpeed devices, but leave the wireless case
alone, because David Vrabel wants to keep the old encoding.
Update the struct urb kernel doc to note that SuperSpeed URBs must have
urb->interval specified in microframes.
Add a missing break statement in the usb_submit_urb() interrupt URB
checking, since wireless USB and SuperSpeed USB encode urb->interval
differently. This allows xHCI roothubs to actually register with khubd.

Commit e1108a63e10d344284011cccc06328b2cd3e5da3 ("usb_serial: Use the
shutdown() operation") breaks the ability to use a usb console
starting in 2.6.33. This was observed when using
console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device. The
error is:
ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22
The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in
tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set. The fix
is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty
port is a console.

The TTY layer takes some care to ensure that only sub-page allocations
are made with interrupts disabled. It does this by setting a goal of
"TTY_BUFFER_PAGE" to allocate. Unfortunately, while TTY_BUFFER_PAGE takes the
size of tty_buffer into account, it fails to account that tty_buffer_find()
rounds the buffer size out to the next 256 byte boundary before adding on
the size of the tty_buffer.
This patch adjusts the TTY_BUFFER_PAGE calculation to take into account the
size of the tty_buffer and the padding. Once applied, tty_buffer_alloc()
should not require high-order allocations.

a VT_RELDISP ioctl call"
This reverts commit eec9fe7d1ab4a0dfac4cb43047a7657fffd0002f.
Ari writes as the reason this should be reverted:
The problems with this patch include:
1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching
between X servers (i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires
the cooperation of both X servers. I was assuming that KMS
eliminated this.
2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which
uses the new mode).
As he was the original author of the patch, I'll revert it.
