377e4f1676 mm: show migration types in show_mem
This is useful to diagnose the reason for page allocation failure for
cases where there appear to be several free pages.

Example, with this alloc_pages(GFP_ATOMIC) failure:

 swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x0
 ...
 Mem-info:
 Normal per-cpu:
 CPU    0: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  48
 CPU    1: hi:   90, btch:  15 usd:  21

  active_file:0 inactive_file:84 isolated_file:0
  unevictable:0 dirty:0 writeback:0 unstable:0
  free:4026 slab_reclaimable:75 slab_unreclaimable:484
  mapped:0 shmem:0 pagetables:0 bounce:0
 Normal free:16104kB min:2296kB low:2868kB high:3444kB active_anon:0kB
 inactive_anon:0kB active_file:0kB inactive_file:336kB unevictable:0kB
 isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:331776kB mlocked:0kB
 dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:0kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:300kB

 bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no
 lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0

Before the patch, it's hard (for me, at least) to say why all these free
chunks weren't considered for allocation:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB 1*512kB
 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 3*4096kB = 16128kB

After the patch, it's obvious that the reason is that all of these are
in the MIGRATE_CMA (C) freelist:

 Normal: 0*4kB 0*8kB 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 1*256kB (C) 1*512kB
 (C) 1*1024kB (C) 1*2048kB (C) 3*4096kB (C) = 16128kB

Pull pinctrl changes from Linus Walleij:
 "These are the first and major pinctrl changes for the v3.8 merge
  cycle.  Some of this is used as merge base for other trees so I better
  be early on the trigger.

  As can be seen from the diffstat the major changes are:

  - A big conversion of the AT91 pinctrl driver and the associated ACKed
    platform changes under arch/arm/max-at91 and its device trees.  This
    has been coordinated with the AT91 maintainers to go in through the
    pinctrl tree.

  - A larger chunk of changes to the SPEAr drivers and the addition of
    the "plgpio" driver for the SPEAr as well.

  - The removal of the remnants of the Nomadik driver from the arch/arm
    tree and fusion of that into the Nomadik driver and platform data
    header files.

  - Some local movement in the Marvell MVEBU drivers, these now have
    their own subdirectory.

  - The addition of a chunk of code to gpiolib under drivers/gpio to
    register gpio-to-pin range mappings from the GPIO side of things.
    This has been requested by Grant Likely and is now implemented, it
    is particularly useful for device tree work.

  Then we have incremental updates all over the place, many of these are
  cleanups and fixes from Axel Lin who has done a great job of removing
  minor mistakes and compilation annoyances."

4009793e15 drivers: cma: represent physical addresses as phys_addr_t
This commit changes the CMA early initialization code to use phys_addr_t
for representing physical addresses instead of unsigned long.

Without this change, among other things, dma_declare_contiguous() simply
discards any memory regions whose address is not representable as unsigned
long.

This is a problem on 32-bit PAE machines where unsigned long is 32-bit
but physical address space is larger.

387870f2d6 mm: dmapool: use provided gfp flags for all dma_alloc_coherent() calls
dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag,
regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive
pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly,
on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or
later  trigger the following error:
"ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small!
Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!".
Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only
delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always
served from the special, very limited memory pool.

This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided
by the dmapool caller.

7c045a55c9 clk: introduce optional disable_unused callback
Some gate clocks have special needs which must be handled during the
disable-unused clocks sequence.  These needs might be driven by software
due to the fact that we're disabling a clock outside of the normal
clk_disable path and a clk's enable_count will not be accurate.  On the
other hand a specific hardware programming sequence might need to be
followed for this corner case.

This change is needed for the upcoming OMAP port to the common clock
framework.  Specifically, it is undesirable to treat the disable-unused
path identically to the normal clk_disable path since other software
layers are involved.  In this case OMAP's clockdomain code throws WARNs
and bails early due to the clock's enable_count being set to zero.  A
custom callback mitigates this problem nicely.

2c68bc72dc Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Netlink socket dumping had several missing verifications and checks.

    In particular, address comparisons in the request byte code
    interpreter could access past the end of the address in the
    inet_request_sock.

    Also, address family and address prefix lengths were not validated
    properly at all.

    This means arbitrary applications can read past the end of certain
    kernel data structures.

    Fixes from Neal Cardwell.

 2) ip_check_defrag() operates in contexts where we're in the process
    of, or about to, input the packet into the real protocols
    (specifically macvlan and AF_PACKET snooping).

    Unfortunately, it does a pskb_may_pull() which can modify the
    backing packet data which is not legal if the SKB is shared.  It
    very much can be shared in this context.

    Deal with the possibility that the SKB is segmented by using
    skb_copy_bits().

    Fix from Johannes Berg based upon a report by Eric Leblond.

This reverts commits a50915394f and
d7c3b937bd.

This is a revert of a revert of a revert.  In addition, it reverts the
even older i915 change to stop using the __GFP_NO_KSWAPD flag due to the
original commits in linux-next.

It turns out that the original patch really was bogus, and that the
original revert was the correct thing to do after all.  We thought we
had fixed the problem, and then reverted the revert, but the problem
really is fundamental: waking up kswapd simply isn't the right thing to
do, and direct reclaim sometimes simply _is_ the right thing to do.

When certain allocations fail, we simply should try some direct reclaim,
and if that fails, fail the allocation.  That's the right thing to do
for THP allocations, which can easily fail, and the GPU allocations want
to do that too.

So starting kswapd is sometimes simply wrong, and removing the flag that
said "don't start kswapd" was a mistake.  Let's hope we never revisit
this mistake again - and certainly not this many times ;)

1bf3751ec9 ipv4: ip_check_defrag must not modify skb before unsharing
ip_check_defrag() might be called from af_packet within the
RX path where shared SKBs are used, so it must not modify
the input SKB before it has unshared it for defragmentation.
Use skb_copy_bits() to get the IP header and only pull in
everything later.

The same is true for the other caller in macvlan as it is
called from dev->rx_handler which can also get a shared SKB.
