      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull battery updates from Anton Vorontsov:
       "The tag contains just a few battery-related changes for v3.6.  It's is
        all pretty straightforward, except one thing.
      
        One of our patches added thermal support for power supply class, but
        thermal/ subsystem changed under our feet.  We (well, Stephen, that
        is) caught the issue and it was decided[1] that I'd just delay the
        battery pull request, and then will fix it up by merging upstream back
        into battery tree at the specific commit.
      
        That's not all though: another[2] small fixup for thermal subsystem
        was needed to get rid of a warning in power supply subsystem (the
        warning was not drivers/power's "fault", the thermal registration
        function just needed a proper const annotation, which is also done by
        a small commit on top of the merge.
      
        So, to sum this up:
         - The 'master' branch of the battery tree was in the -next tree for
           weeks, was never rebased, altered etc.  It should be all OK;
         - Although, for-v3.6 tag contains the 'master' branch + merge + the
           warning fix.

      ipv4: Properly purge netdev references on uncached routes. · caacf05e
      David S. Miller authored
      
      
      When a device is unregistered, we have to purge all of the
      references to it that may exist in the entire system.
      
      If a route is uncached, we currently have no way of accomplishing
      this.
      
      So create a global list that is scanned when a network device goes
      down.  This mirrors the logic in net/core/dst.c's dst_ifdown().

      ipv4: percpu nh_rth_output cache · d26b3a7c
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      Input path is mostly run under RCU and doesnt touch dst refcnt
      
      But output path on forwarding or UDP workloads hits
      badly dst refcount, and we have lot of false sharing, for example
      in ipv4_mtu() when reading rt->rt_pmtu
      
      Using a percpu cache for nh_rth_output gives a nice performance
      increase at a small cost.

      ipv4: Restore old dst_free() behavior. · 54764bb6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      
      commit 404e0a8b (net: ipv4: fix RCU races on dst refcounts) tried
      to solve a race but added a problem at device/fib dismantle time :
      
      We really want to call dst_free() as soon as possible, even if sockets
      still have dst in their cache.
      dst_release() calls in free_fib_info_rcu() are not welcomed.
      
      Root of the problem was that now we also cache output routes (in
      nh_rth_output), we must use call_rcu() instead of call_rcu_bh() in
      rt_free(), because output route lookups are done in process context.
      
      Based on feedback and initial patch from David Miller (adding another
      call_rcu_bh() call in fib, but it appears it was not the right fix)
      
      I left the inet_sk_rx_dst_set() helper and added __rcu attributes
      to nh_rth_output and nh_rth_input to better document what is going on in
      this code.
