In case both nodes are "inconsistent", invalidate would
have started a resync anyways, without a chance to ever
succeed, just filling the logs with warning messages.

Simply disallow that state change,
re-using the SS_NO_UP_TO_DATE_DISK return value.

This also changes the corresponding error string to
"Need access to UpToDate Data" -- I found the
"Refusing to be Primary without at least one UpToDate disk"
answer misleading in some situations anyways.

Philipp Reisner e4f925e12e drbd: Do not upgrade state to Outdated if already Inconsistent [Bugz 277]
There was a race condition:
  In a situation with a SyncSource+Primary and a SyncTarget+Secondary node,
  and a resync dependency to some other device. After both nodes decided
  to do the resync, the other device finishes its resync process.
  At that time SyncSource already sent the P_SYNC_UUID packet, and
  already updated its peer disk state to Inconsistent.
  The SyncTarget node waits for the P_SYNC_UUID and sends a state packet
  to report the resync dependency change. That packet still carries
  a disk state of Outdated.

Impact:
  If application writes come in, during that time on the Primary node,
  those do not get replicated, and the out-of-sync counter gets increased.
  => The completion of resync is not detected on the primary node.
  => stalled.
  Those blocks get resync'ed with the next resync, since the are get
  marked as out-of-sync in the bitmap.

In order to fix this, we filter out that wrong state change in the
sanitize_state() function.

Elina Pasheva eb4fd8cd35 net/usb: add sierra_net.c driver
Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().

The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).

This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.

This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.

Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

Marc Zyngier a2cb9aeb3c gpio: fix pca953x set_type 'scheduling while atomic' bug
Bill Gatliff reported the following bug when using the irq_chip facility
of the pca953x driver on a PPC platform:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: insmod/1530/0x00000002

He traced it back to an i2c transaction in pca953x_irq_set_type(), which
can be called with interrupt disabled (from __setup_irq()).  As the i2c
controller can sleep while sending a message, this qualifies as a bad
idea.

This patch moves the i2c transaction to pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock(),
where it is actually safe to send an i2c message.

Michael Chan 212f9934af bnx2: Prevent "scheduling while atomic" warning with cnic, bonding and vlan.
The bonding driver calls ndo_vlan_rx_register() while holding bond->lock.
The bnx2 driver calls bnx2_netif_stop() to stop the rx handling while
changing the vlgrp.  The call also stops the cnic driver which sleeps
while the bond->lock is held and cause the warning.

This code path only needs to stop the NAPI rx handling while we are
changing the vlgrp.  Since no reset is going to occur, there is no need
to stop cnic in this case.  By adding a parameter to bnx2_netif_stop()
to skip stopping cnic, we can avoid the warning.

Michael Chan c441b8d2cb bnx2: Fix lost MSI-X problem on 5709 NICs.
It has been reported that under certain heavy traffic conditions in MSI-X
mode, the driver can lose an MSI-X vector causing all packets in the
associated rx/tx ring pair to be dropped.  The problem is caused by
the chip dropping the write to unmask the MSI-X vector by the kernel
(when migrating the IRQ for example).

This can be prevented by increasing the GRC timeout value for these
register read and write operations.

Thanks to Dell for helping us debug this problem.
