      Merge branch 'linux-3.17' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6 into drm-fixes · 19318c06
      Dave Airlie authored
      A few regression fixes, the runpm ones dating back to 3.15.  Also a fairly severe TMDS regression that effected a lot of GF8/9/GT2xx users.
      
      * 'linux-3.17' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6:
        drm/nouveau: make sure display hardware is reinitialised on runtime resume
        drm/nouveau: punt fbcon resume out to a workqueue
        drm/nouveau: fix regression on original nv50 board
        drm/nv50/disp: fix dpms regression on certain boards

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
      
       1) Don't halt the firmware in r8152 driver, from Hayes Wang.
      
       2) Handle full sized 802.1ad frames in bnx2 and tg3 drivers properly,
          from Vlad Yasevich.
      
       3) Don't sleep while holding tx_clean_lock in netxen driver, fix from
          Manish Chopra.
      
       4) Certain kinds of ipv6 routes can end up endlessly failing the route
          validation test, causing it to be re-looked up over and over again.
          This particularly kills input route caching in TCP sockets.  Fix
          from Hannes Frederic Sowa.
      
       5) netvsc_start_xmit() has a use-after-free access to skb->len, fix
          from K Y Srinivasan.
      
       6) Fix matching of inverted containers in ematch module, from Ignacy
          Gawędzki.
      
       7) Aggregation of GRO frames via SKB ->frag_list for linear skbs isn't
          handled properly, regression fix from Eric Dumazet.
      
       8) Don't test return value of ipv4_neigh_lookup(), which returns an
          error pointer, against NULL.  From WANG Cong.
      
       9) Fix an old regression where we mistakenly allow a double add of the
          same tunnel.  Fixes from Steffen Klassert.
      
      10) macvtap device delete and open can run in parallel and corrupt lists
          etc., fix from Vlad Yasevich.
      
      11) Fix build error with IPV6=m NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TPROXY=y, from Pablo
          Neira Ayuso.
      
      12) rhashtable_destroy() triggers lockdep splats, fix also from Pablo.

      md/raid5: disable 'DISCARD' by default due to safety concerns. · 8e0e99ba
      NeilBrown authored
      
      
      It has come to my attention (thanks Martin) that 'discard_zeroes_data'
      is only a hint.  Some devices in some cases don't do what it
      says on the label.
      
      The use of DISCARD in RAID5 depends on reads from discarded regions
      being predictably zero.  If a write to a previously discarded region
      performs a read-modify-write cycle it assumes that the parity block
      was consistent with the data blocks.  If all were zero, this would
      be the case.  If some are and some aren't this would not be the case.
      This could lead to data corruption after a device failure when
      data needs to be reconstructed from the parity.
      
      As we cannot trust 'discard_zeroes_data', ignore it by default
      and so disallow DISCARD on all raid4/5/6 arrays.
      
      As many devices are trustworthy, and as there are benefits to using
      DISCARD, add a module parameter to over-ride this caution and cause
      DISCARD to work if discard_zeroes_data is set.
      
      If a site want to enable DISCARD on some arrays but not on others they
      should select DISCARD support at the filesystem level, and set the
      raid456 module parameter.
          raid456.devices_handle_discard_safely=Y
      
      As this is a data-safety issue, I believe this patch is suitable for
      -stable.
      DISCARD support for RAID456 was added in 3.7

      drm/nouveau: make sure display hardware is reinitialised on runtime resume · 6fbb702e
      Ben Skeggs authored
      Linus commit 05c63c2f
      
       modified the
      runtime suspend/resume paths to skip over display-related tasks to
      avoid locking issues on resume.
      
      Unfortunately, this resulted in the display hardware being left in
      a partially initialised state, preventing subsequent modesets from
      completing.
      
      This commit unifies the (many) suspend/resume paths, bringing back
      display (and fbcon) handling in the runtime paths.
