Srinivas Eeda a75e9ccabd ocfs2: use spinlock irqsave for downconvert lock.patch
When ocfs2dc thread holds dc_task_lock spinlock and receives soft IRQ it
deadlock itself trying to get same spinlock in ocfs2_wake_downconvert_thread.
Below is the stack snippet.

The patch disables interrupts when acquiring dc_task_lock spinlock.

Junxiao Bi 3e5d3c35a6 ocfs2: clear unaligned io flag when dio fails
The unaligned io flag is set in the kiocb when an unaligned
dio is issued, it should be cleared even when the dio fails,
or it may affect the following io which are using the same
kiocb.

Pull fix to common clk framework from Michael Turquette:
 "The previous set of common clk fixes for -rc5 left an uninitialized

Tyler Hicks 9fe79d7600 eCryptfs: Properly check for O_RDONLY flag before doing privileged open
If the first attempt at opening the lower file read/write fails,
eCryptfs will retry using a privileged kthread. However, the privileged
retry should not happen if the lower file's inode is read-only because a
read/write open will still be unsuccessful.

The check for determining if the open should be retried was intended to
be based on the access mode of the lower file's open flags being
O_RDONLY, but the check was incorrectly performed. This would cause the
open to be retried by the privileged kthread, resulting in a second
failed open of the lower file. This patch corrects the check to
determine if the open request should be handled by the privileged
kthread.

Linus Torvalds dab058fd5f floppy: cancel any pending fd_timeouts before adding a new one
In commit 070ad7e793 ("floppy: convert to delayed work and
single-thread wq") the 'fd_timeout' timer was converted to a delayed
work.  However, the "del_timer(&fd_timeout)" was lost in the process,
and any previous pending timeouts would stay active when we then
re-queued the timeout.

This resulted in the floppy probe sequence having a (stale) 20s timeout
rather than the intended 3s timeout, and thus made booting with the
floppy driver (but no actual floppy controller) take much longer than it
should.

Of course, there's little reason for most people to compile the floppy
driver into the kernel at all, which is why most people never noticed.

Canceling the delayed work where we used to do the del_timer() fixes the
issue, and makes the floppy probing use the proper new timeout instead.
The three second timeout is still very wasteful, but better than the 20s
one.

Rajendra Nayak 863b13271f clk: fix parent validation in __clk_set_parent()
The below commit introduced a bug in __clk_set_parent()
which could cause it to *skip* the parent validation
which makes sure the parent passed to the api is a valid
one.

    commit 7975059db5
    Author: Rajendra Nayak <rnayak@ti.com>
    Date:   Wed Jun 6 14:41:31 2012 +0530

        clk: Allow late cache allocation for clk->parents

This was identified by the following compiler warning..

    drivers/clk/clk.c: In function '__clk_set_parent':
    drivers/clk/clk.c:1083:5: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

.. as reported by Marc Kleine-Budde.

There were various options discussed on how to fix this, one
being initing 'i' to clk->num_parents, but the below approach
was found to be more appropriate as it also makes the 'parent
validation' code simpler to read.

Jeff Layton ec01d738a1 cifs: when server doesn't set CAP_LARGE_READ_X, cap default rsize at MaxBufferSize
When the server doesn't advertise CAP_LARGE_READ_X, then MS-CIFS states
that you must cap the size of the read at the client's MaxBufferSize.
Unfortunately, testing with many older servers shows that they often
can't service a read larger than their own MaxBufferSize.

Since we can't assume what the server will do in this situation, we must
be conservative here for the default. When the server can't do large
reads, then assume that it can't satisfy any read larger than its
MaxBufferSize either.

Luckily almost all modern servers can do large reads, so this won't
affect them. This is really just for older win9x and OS/2 era servers.
Also, note that this patch just governs the default rsize. The admin can
always override this if he so chooses.

Fix the space map checker code to return an appropriate ERR_PTR and have
dm_sm_disk_create() and dm_tm_create_internal() check for it with
IS_ERR.

Joe Thornber 0d200aefd4 dm thin: commit metadata before creating metadata snapshot
Userland sometimes sees a corrupt metadata block if metadata is changing
rapidly when a metadata snapshot is reserved for userland,  To make the
problem go away, commit before we take the metadata snapshot (which is a
sensible thing to do anyway).

The checksums mean userland spots this corruption immediately so there's
no risk of acting on incorrect data.  No corruption exists from the
kernel's point of view, and thin_check passes after pool shutdown.

I believe this is to do with shared blocks at the first level of the
{device, mapping} btree.  Prior to the metadata-snap support no sharing
at this level was possible, so this patch is only required after commit
cc8394d86f ("dm thin: provide userspace
access to pool metadata").
