fd02e8038e IB/mthca: Query SRQ srq_limit fixes
Fix endianness handling of srq_limit: it is big-endian in the context
structure, so we need to swab it before returning it.

Also add support for srq_limit query for Tavor (non-MemFree) HCAs.

bfef73fa78 IPoIB: Get rid of useless test of queue length
In neigh_add_path(), the queue of delayed packets can never be full,
because the queue is always freshly created and cannot be found by any
other code path.  In fact, the test of the queue length is worse than
useless: if somehow the test ever triggered and path_rec_start() also
failed, then dev_kfree_skb_any() will be called twice on the same skb.
Fix this by deleting the useless test.  Pointed out by Michael
S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il>.

dc05980dd7 IB/mad: Fix oopsable race on device removal
Fix an oopsable race debugged by Eli Cohen <eli@mellanox.co.il>:
After removing the port from port_list, ib_mad_port_close flushes
port_priv->wq before destroying the special QPs. This means that a
completion event could arrive, and queue a new work in this work queue
after flush.

This patch also removes an unnecessary flush_workqueue():
destroy_workqueue() already includes a flush.

f36e1793e2 IB/umad: Add support for large RMPP transfers
Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers.  The old
code supports transfers only as large as a single contiguous kernel
memory allocation.  This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when
sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for
larger transfers.

  Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing
  to one large buffer in kernel space.

  Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments,
  (multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2.
  Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested
  segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally,
  save pointer to last-acked segment.  When retrying, retrieve
  segments for resending relative to this pointer.  When updating last
  ack, start at this pointer.

9acf6a8570 IPoIB: Fix multicast race between canceling and completing
ipoib_mcast_stop_thread currently tests mcast->query and if it is
NULL, does not perform wait_for_completion on the mcast and frees the
mcast object directly.

However, since both operations are done without locking, it is
possible that ipoib_mcast_join_complete is in progress on this mcast
object and has set mcast->query to NULL already.

Solve this by:
- taking priv->lock before we change mcast->query in ipoib_mcast_join_complete,
  and keeping it until we no longer need the mcast object
- taking priv->lock around mcast->query test in ipoib_mcast_stop_thread

7343b231f2 IPoIB: Close race in setting mcast->ah
ipoib_mcast_send() tests mcast->ah twice.  If this value is changed
between these two points, we leak an skb.  However,
ipoib_mcast_join_finish() sets mcast->ah with no locking, so it could
race against ipoib_mcast_send().

As a solution, take priv->lock around assignment to mcast->ah thus
making sure ipoib_mcast_send() (which also takes priv->lock) is not in
flight.

14abdffcc0 IB/mthca: Write FW commands through doorbell page
This patch is checks whether the HCA supports posting FW commands
through a doorbell page (user access region 0, or "UAR0").  If this is
supported, the driver maps UAR0 and uses it for FW commands. This can
be controlled by the value of a writable module parameter
fw_cmd_doorbell.  When the parameter is 0, the commands are posted
through HCR using the old method; otherwise if HCA is capable commands
go through UAR0.

This use of UAR0 to post commands eliminates the need for polling the
"go" bit prior to posting a new command. Since reading from a PCI
device is much more expensive then issuing a posted write, it is
expected that issuing FW commands this way will provide better CPU
utilization.

smi_check_local_smp() only uses the mad_agent pointer to check that

4a29cc2e50 [TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2
The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.

For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.

All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.

Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
the patch.

60a6dc55b9 [PATCH] Kconfig: swap VIDEO_CX88_ALSA and VIDEO_CX88_DVB
VIDEO_CX88_ALSA should not be between VIDEO_CX88_DVB and
VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS

When cx88-alsa was added to cx88/Kconfig, it was added in between
VIDEO_CX88_DVB and VIDEO_CX88_DVB_ALL_FRONTENDS.  This caused
undesireable effects to the appearance of the menu options in
menuconfig.

This fix reorders cx88-alsa and cx88-dvb in Kconfig, to match saa7134,
and restore the correct menuconfig appearance.

8ba32fde2c [PATCH] dm stripe: Fix bounds
The dm-stripe target currently does not enforce that the size of a stripe
device be a multiple of the chunk-size.  Under certain conditions, this can
lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device.  This
test-case shows one example.

echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0
echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1
echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \
   dmsetup create stripe0
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k

This will produce the output:
dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error
97+0 records in
96+0 records out

And in the kernel log will be:
attempt to access beyond end of device
dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100

The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe
chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped
device from being created.

This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can
think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a
multiple of the chunk-size.

The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

(akpm: that typecast is quite gratuitous)
