The example code provided with the i2c device interface documentation
won't compile since it uses the reserved word "register" to name a
variable.
The compiler fails with this error message:
error: expected identifier or '(' before '=' token
__u8 register = 0x20; /* Device register to access */
^
Rename the variable "register" to simply "reg" in the example code.
Another couple of typos has been fixed as well.

"The fixes all address recently discovered data corruption issues.
The original Direct IO issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook
on a production workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads
and writes IO to the same file. The fix for that exposed other issues
with page invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing
due to dirty buffers beyond EOF.
Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
around. The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes that
prevent the problem from occuring. A more robust fix for 3.18 that
addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on by
Brian.

The update_walltime() code works on the shadow timekeeper to make the
seqcount protected region as short as possible. But that update to the
shadow timekeeper does not update all timekeeper fields because it's
sufficient to do that once before it becomes life. One of these fields
is tkr.base_mono. That stays stale in the shadow timekeeper unless an
operation happens which copies the real timekeeper to the shadow.
The update function is called after the update calls to vsyscall and
pvclock. While not correct, it did not cause any problems because none
of the invoked update functions used base_mono.
commit cbcf2dd3b3 (x86: kvm: Make kvm_get_time_and_clockread()
nanoseconds based) changed that in the kvm pvclock update function, so
the stale mono_base value got used and caused kvm-clock to malfunction.
Put the update where it belongs and fix the issue.

the counter threshold is reached
This patch series is based on net.
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
As the management counters reach a threshold they will generate an
interrupt so the value can be saved and the counter reset. The
current code does not enable this interrupt on all counters. This
can result in inaccurate statistics.
Update the code to enable all the counters to generate an interrupt
when its threshold is exceeded.
Signed-off-by: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@amd.com>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Even if the management counters are configured to be 32 bit register
values, the [rt]xoctetcount_gb and [rt]xoctetcount_g counters are
always 64 bit counter registers. Since they are not being treated as
64 bit values, these statistics are being reported incorrectly (ifconfig,
ethtool, etc.).
Update the routines used to read the registers to access the "hi"
register (an offset of 4 from the "lo" register) to create a 64 bit
value for these 64 bit counters.

This patch does not affect the 10/100 GRETH MAC.
Before all GBit GRETH TX descriptor ring cleaning was done in
start_xmit(), when descriptor list became full it activated
TX interrupt to start the NAPI rx poll function to do TX ring
cleaning.
With this patch the TX descriptor ring is always cleaned from
the NAPI rx poll function, triggered via TX or RX interrupt.
Otherwise we could end up in TX frames being sent but not
reported to the stack being sent. On the 10/100 GRETH this
is not an issue since the SKB is copied&aligned into private
buffers so that the SKB can be freed directly on start_xmit()

as skb_mstamp already contains timestamp, the anonymous
union will promptly disappear as well.

net: Drop get_headlen functions in favor of generic function
This series replaces the igb_get_headlen and ixgbe_get_headlen functions
with a generic function named eth_get_headlen.
I have done some performance testing on ixgbe with 258 byte frames since
the calls are only used on frames larger than 256 bytes and have seen no
significant difference in CPU utilization.
v2: renamed __skb_get_poff to skb_get_poff
renamed ___skb_get_poff to __skb_get_poff

This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments. Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.
I have split __skb_get_poff into two functions, the first is skb_get_poff
and it retains the functionality of the original __skb_get_poff. The other
function is __skb_get_poff which now works much like __skb_flow_dissect in
relation to skb_flow_dissect in that it provides the same functionality but
works with just a data buffer and hlen instead of needing an skb.

====================
This change makes it so that the core path for the phy timestamping logic
is shared between skb_tx_tstamp and skb_complete_tx_timestamp. In addition
it provides a means of using the same skb clone type path in non phy
timestamping drivers.
The main motivation for this is to enable non-phy drivers to be able to
manipulate tx timestamp skbs for such things as putting them in lists or
setting aside buffer in the context block.
v2: Incorporated suggested changes from Willem de Bruijn and Eric Dumazet
dropped uneeded comment
restored order of hwtstamp vs swtstamp
added destructor for skb
Dropped usage of skb_complete_tx_timestamp as a kfree_skb w/ destructor
v3: Updated destructor handling and dealt with socket reference counting issues
v4: Split out combining destructors into a separate patch
====================
Since sock_efree and sock_demux are essentially the same code for non-TCP
sockets and the case where CONFIG_INET is not defined we can combine the
code or replace the call to sock_edemux in several spots. As a result we
can avoid a bit of unnecessary code or code duplication.

The phy timestamping takes a different path than the regular timestamping
does in that it will create a clone first so that the packets needing to be
timestamped can be placed in a queue, or the context block could be used.
In order to support these use cases I am pulling the core of the code out
so it can be used in other drivers beyond just phy devices.
In addition I have added a destructor named sock_efree which is meant to
provide a simple way for dropping the reference to skb exceptions that
aren't part of either the receive or send windows for the socket, and I
have removed some duplication in spots where this destructor could be used
in place of sock_edemux.

This change merges the shared bits that exist between skb_tx_tstamp and
skb_complete_tx_timestamp. By doing this we can avoid the two diverging as
there were already changes pushed into skb_tx_tstamp that hadn't made it
into the other function.
In addition this resolves issues with the fact that
skb_complete_tx_timestamp was included in linux/skbuff.h even though it was
only compiled in if phy timestamping was enabled.

A buffer is incorrectly zeroed to the length of the pointer. If
cfg_payload_len < sizeof(void *) this can overwrites unrelated memory.
The buffer contents are never read, so no need to zero.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-09-04
This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Catherine adds dual speed module support to i40e. Updates i40e to allow
the user to change link settings when the link is down.
Serey renames i40e_ndo_set_vf_spoofck() to i40e_ndo_set_vf_spookchk()
to be more consistent with what is defined in netdev and removes a
unnecessary variable assignment.
Jesse makes a malicious driver detection warning only print if extended
driver string is enabled for i40e. Fixes a panic under traffic load when
resetting or if/whenever there was a Tx-timeout because we were enabling
the Tx queue to early.
Anjali fixes an issue when PF reset fails, where we were trying to restart
the admin queue which has not been setup at that point. This resolves an
occasional kernel panic when PF reset fails for some reason.
Ethan Zhao replaces the use of a local i40e_vfs_are_assigned() with the
global kernel pci_vfs_assigned() for i40e.
Alex cleans up the FDB handling for ixgbe. This change makes it so that
the behavior for FDB handling is consistent between both the SR-IOV and
non-SR-IOV cases. The main change is that we perform bounds checking on
the number of SR-IOV addresses regardless of if SR-IOV is enabled or not
as we can only support a certain number of addresses in the hardware.
Emil extends the pending Tx work check to the VF interfaces, where the
driver initiates a reset of the interface on link loss with pending Tx
work in order to clear the rings. Introduces a delay for 82599 VFs of
at least 500 usecs to make sure the VFLINKS value is correct, since this
bit tends to flap when a DA or SFP+ cable is disconnected.
Jacob adds code comments in ixgbe to make it more obvious that we are
resetting features based on the fact that we do not have MSI-X enabled,
and cannot use the previous settings. Also resolves a kernel NULL
pointer dereference by limiting the combined total of MACVLAN and
SR-IOV VFs, since the hardware has a limited number of pools available
(64). Previously, no checks were in place to limit the number of
accelerated MACVLAN devices based on the number of pools, which would
be ok since there was already a limit for these well below the number of
available pools. However, SR-IOV uses the very same pools, therefore
we need to ensure that the total number of pools does not exceed the
number of pools available in the hardware.
v2:
- clean up code comment in patch 5 by replacing "an" with "auto
negotiation" based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov
- removed un-necessary parenthesis around function call in patch 8
based on feedback from Sergei Shtylyov
