      ACPICA: Sleep/Wake interfaces: optionally execute _GTS and _BFS · 8a73b17e
      Lin Ming authored
      
      
      Enhanced the sleep/wake interfaces to optionally execute the
      _GTS method (Going To Sleep), and the _BFS method (Back From
      Sleep).  Windows apparently does not execute these methods, and
      therefore these methods are often untested. It has been seen on
      some systems where the execution of these methods causes errors
      and also prevents the machine from entering S5. It is therefore
      suggested that host operating systems do not execute these methods
      by default. In the future, perhaps these methods can be optionally
      executed based on the age of the system and/or what is the newest
      version of Windows that the BIOS asks for via _OSI.

      Pull networking changes from David Miller:
       "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to
           crashes, particularly during shutdown.  Reported by Dave Jones and
           fixed by Eric Dumazet.
      
        2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have
           already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this
           means requeue the packet.  Fixes from Eric Dumazet.
      
        3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on
           fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
        4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it
           abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to
           leaks.  Fix from RonQing Li.
      
        5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration.
           From Pablo Neira Ayuso.
      
        6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing
           to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation.  From Eric
           Dumazet.
      
        7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x,
           from Michal Schmidt."
