Per measurements, the SFP+ suffered from small current leakage in two cases:
- When no module was plugged and TX laser was disabled. The fix was to enable
it, and when module is plugged in, check if it needs to be disabled.
- When over-current event occurs due to invalid SFP+ module, the HW basically
shuts down the current for this module, but the SW needs to complete this
by issuing a power down via a GPIO.

When drivers works on top of an old bootcode, it is theoretically subjected to
MDC/MDIO failures since the MDIO clock is set in the beginning of each sequence,
rather than per CL45 command. On rare cases an old bootcodes may change that in
the middle, so to address that, the MDIO clock is set for each CL45 access.
In addition, setting the MDIO clock is now done per EMAC base, and
not per port number, since a specific port can potentially use both EMACs for
different PHY accesses.

The XOFF received statistic registers are per priority based and not per
traffic class. The ixgbe driver was incorrectly considering them to be for
each traffic class; and then disabling the "Tx hang" check for the queues
that belonged to the particular traffic class that had received PFC frames.
The above logic worked fine in scenario where the user priority and traffic
class number matched e.g. priority 0 is mapped to traffic class 0 and so on.
But, when multiple user priorities are mapped to a single traffic class or
when user priorities and traffic class numbers do not line up; the ixgbe
driver may disable the "Tx hang" check for queues belonging to a traffic
class that did not receive PFC frames and keep the "Tx hang" check enabled
for the queues that did receive the PFC frames.
This patch corrects the above in the code by considering the statistics
on a per priority basis; then getting the traffic class the user priority
belongs to and disabling the "Tx hang" check for queues that belong
to that traffic class.

The pppoatm_send() does not take any lock that will prevent concurrent
vcc_sendmsg(). This causes two problems:
- there is no locking between checking the send queue size
with atm_may_send() and incrementing sk_wmem_alloc,
and the real queue size can be a little higher than sk_sndbuf
- the vcc->sendmsg() can be called concurrently. I'm not sure
if it's allowed. Some drivers (eni, nicstar, ...) seem
to assume it will never happen.
Now pppoatm_send() takes ATM socket lock, the same that is used
in vcc_sendmsg() and other ATM socket functions. The pppoatm_send()
is called with BH disabled, so bh_lock_sock() is used instead
of lock_sock().

The atm is using atmvcc->push(vcc, NULL) callback to notify protocol
that vcc will be closed and protocol must detach from it. This callback
is usually used by protocol to decrement module usage count by module_put(),
but it leaves small window then module is still used after module_put().
Now the owner of push() callback is kept in atmvcc and
module_put(atmvcc->owner) is called after the protocol is detached from vcc.

Add D_CAN raminit support to C_CAN driver to enable D_CAN RAM,
which holds all the message objects during transmission or
receiving of data. This initialization/de-initialization should
be done in synchronous with D_CAN clock.
In case of AM335X-EVM (current user of D_CAN driver) message RAM is
controlled through control module register for both instances. So
control module register details is required to initialization or
de-initialization of message RAM according to instance number.
Control module memory resource is obtained from D_CAN dt node and
instance number obtained from device tree aliases node.
This patch was tested on AM335x-EVM along with pinctrl data addition
patch, d_can dt aliases addition and control module data addition.
pinctrl data addition is not added to am335x-evm.dts (only supports
CPLD profile#0) because d_can1 is supported under CPLD profile#1.

Dave Jones reported a bug with futex_lock_pi() that his trinity test
exposed. Sometime between queue_me() and taking the q.lock_ptr, the
lock_ptr became NULL, resulting in a crash.
While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with
a pi_state or an rt_waiter (which are either waiting for a
futex_unlock_pi() or a PI futex_requeue()), futex_wake_op() and
futex_requeue() do not perform the same test.
Update futex_wake_op() and futex_requeue() to test for q.pi_state and
q.rt_waiter and abort with -EINVAL if detected. To ensure any future
breakage is caught, add a WARN() to wake_futex() if the same condition
is true.
This fix has seen 3 hours of testing with "trinity -c futex" on an
x86_64 VM with 4 CPUS.

Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

Commit 5515061d22f0 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.
If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.
