      cx25821: Remove bad strcpy to read-only char* · 380e99fc
      Ezequiel Garcia authored
      
      
      The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board.  Since the
      destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at
      compile time; this was both wrong and redundant.
      
      The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

      Make wait_for_device_probe() also do scsi_complete_async_scans() · eea03c20
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit a7a20d10 ("sd: limit the scope of the async probe domain")
      make the SCSI device probing run device discovery in it's own async
      domain.
      
      However, as a result, the partition detection was no longer synchronized
      by async_synchronize_full() (which, despite the name, only synchronizes
      the global async space, not all of them).  Which in turn meant that
      "wait_for_device_probe()" would not wait for the SCSI partitions to be
      parsed.
      
      And "wait_for_device_probe()" was what the boot time init code relied on
      for mounting the root filesystem.
      
      Now, most people never noticed this, because not only is it
      timing-dependent, but modern distributions all use initrd.  So the root
      filesystem isn't actually on a disk at all.  And then before they
      actually mount the final disk filesystem, they will have loaded the
      scsi-wait-scan module, which not only does the expected
      wait_for_device_probe(), but also does scsi_complete_async_scans().
      
      [ Side note: scsi_complete_async_scans() had also been partially broken,
        but that was fixed in commit 43a8d39d ("fix async probe
        regression"), so that same commit a7a20d10
      
       had actually broken
        setups even if you used scsi-wait-scan explicitly ]
      
      Solve this problem by just moving the scsi_complete_async_scans() call
      into wait_for_device_probe().  Everybody who wants to wait for device
      probing to finish really wants the SCSI probing to complete, so there's
      no reason not to do this.
      
      So now "wait_for_device_probe()" really does what the name implies, and
      properly waits for device probing to finish.  This also removes the now
      unnecessary extra calls to scsi_complete_async_scans().

      v4l2-dev: forgot to add VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP. · c1e32096
      Hans Verkuil authored
      
      
      The VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP ioctl check wasn't added to determine_valid_ioctls().
      This caused this ioctl to always return -ENOTTY.
      
      The cause for this was that for 3.5 two patch series were merged, one
      changing V4L2 core ioctl handling and one adding new functionality, and
      some of the new functionality wasn't handled by the new V4L2 core code.

         a) Should not reset skb->nf_bridge in forwarding hook (Lin Ming)
         b) 3.4 commit can cause ip_vs_control_cleanup to be invoked after

          association still on a list (Neil HOrman)
      
       7) __netdev_alloc_skb() regresses on GFP_DMA using drivers because that
          GFP flag is not being retained for the allocation (Eric Dumazet).
      
       8) Missing NULL hceck in sch_sfb netlink message parsing (Alan Cox)
      
       9) bnx2 crashes because TX index iteration is not bounded correctly

          skb_try_coalesce) because it does not set skb->truesize correctly
          (Eric Dumazet)
      
      11) vlan_info objects leak for the implicit vlan with ID 0 (Amir
          Hanania)
      
      12) A fix for TX time stamp handling in gianfar does not transfer socket
          ownership from one packet to another correctly, resulting in a
          socket write space imbalance (Eric Dumazet)
      
      13) Julia Lawall found several cases where we do a list iteration, and
          then at the loop termination unconditionally assume we ended up with
          real list object, rather than the list head itself (CNIC, RXRPC,
          mISDN).
      
      14) The bonding driver handles procfs moving incorrectly when a device
          it manages is moved from one namespace to another (Eric Biederman)
      
      15) Missing memory barriers in stmmac descriptor accesses result in

          dgram_sendmsg().  Dave Jones and others have hit and reported this
          bug (Sasha Levin)
      
      18) Some drivers (b44 and b43legacy) on 64-bit machines stopped working
          because of how netdev_alloc_skb() was adjusted.  Such drivers should
          now use alloc_skb() for obtaining bounce buffers.  (Eric Dumazet)
      
      19) atl1c mis-managed it's link state in that it stops the queue by hand
          on link down.  The generic networking takes care of that and this
          double stop locks the queue down.  So simply removing the driver's
          queue stop call fixes the problem (Cloud Ren)
      
      20) Fix out-of-memory due to mis-accounting in net_em packet scheduler
          (Eric Dumazet)
      
      21) If DCB and SR-IOV are configured at the same time in IXGBE the chip
          will hang because this is not supported (Alexander Duyck)
      
      22) A commit to stop drivers using netdev->base_addr broke the CNIC
          driver (Michael Chan)
      
      23) Timeout regression in ipset caused by an attempt to fix an overflow
          bug (Jozsef Kadlecsik).
      
      24) mac80211 minstrel code allocates memory using incorrect size

          OOPS (Sasha Levin)
      
      26) mwifiex leaks memory (Bing Zhao)

      I know that we're in fairly late stage to request pulls, but the IPVS people
      pinged me with little patches with oops fixes last week.

      * Fix one regression introduced in 3.4 while cleaning up the
        netns support for IPVS, from Julian Anastasov.
      
      * Fix one oops triggered due to resetting the conntrack attached to the skb
        instead of just putting it in the forward hook, from Lin Ming. This problem
        seems to be there since 2.6.37 according to Simon Horman.

      Federico Fuga authored
      
      
      When rpmsg drivers are built into the kernel, they must not initialize
      before the rpmsg bus does, otherwise they'd trigger a BUG() in
      drivers/base/driver.c line 169 (driver_register()).
      
      To fix that, and to stop depending on arbitrary linkage ordering of
      those built-in rpmsg drivers, we make the rpmsg bus initialize at
      subsys_initcall.
