Instead, store a pointer to the currently assigned function.
This allows us to delete the mux_requested variable from pin_desc; a pin
is requested if its currently assigned function is non-NULL.
When a pin is requested as a GPIO rather than a regular function, the
assigned function name is dynamically constructed. In this case, we have
to kstrdup() the dynamically constructed name, so that mux_function doesn't
pointed at stack data. This requires pin_free to be told whether to free
the mux_function pointer or not.
This removes the hard-coded maximum function name length.

A pin controller's names array is no longer marked __refdata. Hence, we
can avoid copying a pin's name into the descriptor when registering it.
Instead, just point at the string supplied in the pin array.
This both simplifies and speeds up pin controller initialization, but
also removes the hard-coded maximum pin name length.

A pin controller's pin definitions are used both during pinctrl_register()
and pinctrl_unregister(). The latter happens outside of __init/__devinit
time, and hence it is unsafe to mark the pin array as __refdata.

get_group_pins() "returns" a pointer to an array of const objects, through
a pointer parameter. Fix the prototype so what's pointed at by the returned
pointer is const, rather than the function parameter being const.
This also allows the removal of a cast in each of the two current pinmux
drivers.

A few network drivers currently use skb_frag_struct for this purpose but I have
patches which add additional fields and semantics there which these other uses
do not want.

so do so instead of adding a network subsystem specific structure.

Following the 'perf report' model we don't zap hist_entry instances from
the rb tree, we just keep them with he->filtered set to a mask of the
filters applied to it (thread, parent, DSO so far).
In top we need to decay even filtered entries, but we better not touch
total_period for them...
Now everything seems to work when filters are applied on top as they
worked in 'report', i.e. both dynamic and static hist entry browsing
works with filters.

I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in
stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that
mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration.
3.0 BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page():
kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105!

mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock,
and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its
requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough
while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when
there's memory hotremove and compaction.
The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around
behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when
looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old.
Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or
migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry()
before it takes pagetable lock.
Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration
than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.

Problem using big mtu around 4096 bytes is you end allocating (4096
+NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) bytes ->
8192 bytes : order-1 pages
It's better to limit the mtu to SKB_MAX_HEAD(NET_SKB_PAD),
to have no more than one page per skb.
Also the patch changes the netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() done in
init_dma_desc_rings() and uses a variant allowing GFP_KERNEL allocations
allowing the driver to load even in case of memory pressure.

This patch enhances the STMMAC driver to support CHAINED mode of
descriptor.
STMMAC supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer(RING)
and linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING mode (default) each descriptor
points to two data buffer pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point
to only one data buffer pointer.
In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in
the list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself,
whereas such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode.
First version of this work has been done by Rayagond.
Then the patch has been reworked avoiding ifdef inside the C code.
A new header file has been added to define all the functions needed for
managing enhanced and normal descriptors.
In fact, these have to be specialized according to the ring/chain usage.
Two new C files have been also added to implement the helper routines
needed to manage: jumbo frames, chain and ring setup (i.e. desc3).

sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and
few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use
it correctly. Add warnings for people using tagged directories
improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly.
A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient
to catch all possible misuses. An additional warning is needed
in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to
add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory.

Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we
currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories. In the
implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL.
NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning
we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for. This
multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed)
in the code.
Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged
file in a tagged directory.
To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs.
Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged
file. Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace.
Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs
directories.
Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

The port shouldn't be enabled unless its current MUX
state is DISTRIBUTING which is correctly handled by
ad_mux_machine(), otherwise the packet sent can be
lost because the other end may not be ready.
The issue happens on every port initialization, but
as the ports are expected to move quickly to DISTRIBUTING,
it doesn't cause much problem. However, it does cause
constant packet loss if the other peer has the port
configured to stay in STANDBY (i.e. SYNC set to OFF).

This patch moves the rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many
(inside the rtnl_lock) into netdev_run_todo (just outside the rtnl_lock).
This allows us to gain the full benefit of sychronize_net calling
synchronize_rcu_expedited when the rtnl_lock is held.
The rcu_barrier in rollback_registered_many was originally a synchronize_net
but was promoted to be a rcu_barrier() when it was found that people were
unnecessarily hitting the 250ms wait in netdev_wait_allrefs(). Changing
the rcu_barrier back to a synchronize_net is therefore safe.
Since we only care about waiting for the rcu callbacks before we get
to netdev_wait_allrefs() it is also safe to move the wait into
netdev_run_todo.
This was tested by creating and destroying 1000 tap devices and observing
/proc/lock_stat. /proc/lock_stat reports this change reduces the hold
times of the rtnl_lock by a factor of 10. There was no observable
difference in the amount of time it takes to destroy a network device.

We don't need a mempool in order to guarantee reliable NFS read performance.

Don't rely on the PageError flag to tell us if one of the partial reads of
the page failed. Instead, replace that with a dedicated flag in the
struct nfs_page.
Then clean out redundant uses of the PageError flag: the VM no longer
checks it for reads.
