The class of device value can only be retrieved via inquiry or during
an incoming connection request. Outgoing connections can't ask for the
class of device. To compensate for this the value is stored and copied
via the inquiry cache, but currently only updated via inquiry. This
update should also happen during an incoming connection request.

The Bluetooth specification supports the default link policy settings
on a per host controller basis. For every new connection the link
manager would then use these settings. It is better to use this instead
of bothering the controller on every connection setup to overwrite the
default settings.

The connection packet type can be changed after the connection has been
established and thus needs to be properly tracked to ensure that the
host stack has always correct and valid information about it.
On incoming connections the Bluetooth core switches the supported packet
types to the configured list for this controller. However the usefulness
of this feature has been questioned a lot. The general consent is that
every Bluetooth host stack should enable as many packet types as the
hardware actually supports and leave the decision to the link manager
software running on the Bluetooth chip.
When running on Bluetooth 2.0 or later hardware, don't change the packet
type for incoming connections anymore. This hardware likely supports
Enhanced Data Rate and thus leave it completely up to the link manager
to pick the best packet type.

When trying to establish an eSCO link between two devices then it can
happen that the remote device falls back to a SCO link. Currently this
case is not handled correctly and the message dispatching will break
since it is looking for eSCO packets. So in case the configured link
falls back to SCO overwrite the link type with the correct value.

The authentication status is not communicated to both parties. This is
actually a flaw in the Bluetooth specification. Only the requesting side
really knows if the authentication was successful or not. This piece of
information is however needed on the other side to know if it has to
trigger the authentication procedure or not. Worst case is that both
sides will request authentication at different times, but this should
be avoided since it costs extra time when setting up a new connection.
For Bluetooth encryption it is required to authenticate the link first
and the encryption status is communicated to both sides. So when a link
is switched to encryption it is possible to update the authentication
status since it implies an authenticated link.

The Bluetooth specification allows to enable or disable the encryption
of an ACL link at any time by either the peer or the remote device. If
a L2CAP or RFCOMM connection requested an encrypted link, they will now
disconnect that link if the encryption gets disabled. Higher protocols
that don't care about encryption (like SDP) are not affected.

Recent tests with various Bluetooth headsets have shown that some of
them don't enforce authentication and encryption when connecting. All
of them leave it up to the host stack to enforce it. Non of them should
allow unencrypted connections, but that is how it is. So in case the
link mode settings require authentication and/or encryption it will now
also be enforced on outgoing RFCOMM connections. Previously this was
only done for incoming connections.
This support has a small drawback from a protocol level point of view
since the host stack can't really tell with 100% certainty if a remote
side is already authenticated or not. So if both sides are configured
to enforce authentication it will be requested twice. Most Bluetooth
chips are caching this information and thus no extra authentication
procedure has to be triggered over-the-air, but it can happen.

Getting the remote L2CAP features mask is really important, but doing
this as less intrusive as possible is tricky. To play nice with older
systems and Bluetooth qualification testing, the features mask is now
only retrieved in two specific cases and only once per lifetime of an
ACL link.
When trying to establish a L2CAP connection and the remote features mask
is unknown, the L2CAP information request is sent when the ACL link goes
into connected state. This applies only to outgoing connections and also
only for the connection oriented channels.
The second case is when a connection request has been received. In this
case a connection response with the result pending and the information
request will be send. After receiving an information response or if the
timeout gets triggered, the normal connection setup process with security
setup will be initiated.

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey:
- initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as
advertised
- initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in
pagemap_pte_hole()
- unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other
(including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't
have permissions)
- pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one
looks unneeded.
- avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

The CaFe chip has a hardware bug that ends up with us getting a timeout
value that's too small, causing the following sorts of problems:
[ 60.525138] mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
[ 60.531477] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1484353
[ 60.533371] Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0p2, logical block 181632
[ 60.533371] lost page write due to I/O error on mmcblk0p2
Presumably this is an off-by-one error in the hardware. Incrementing
the timeout count value that we stuff into the TIMEOUT_CONTROL register
gets us a value that works. This bug was originally discovered by
Pierre Ossman, I believe.

This has been sitting around unloved for way too long..
The Marvell CaFe chip's SD implementation chokes during card insertion
if one attempts to set the voltage and power up in the same
SDHCI_POWER_CONTROL register write. This adds a quirk that does
that particular dance in two steps.
It also adds an entry to pci_ids.h for the CaFe chip's SD device.

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

The build of the Alpha Linux kernel currently fails[1] with inconsistent
kallsyms data. As I never saw that before, I thought about hardware
problems. But in fact it is a bug in the Linux kernel.
The end of the rodata section is marked with the "__end_rodata" symbol.
This symbol have different aligning constraints than the inittext parts
and therefor the start marked "_sinittext". Because of that the
__end_rodata symbol shifts between < _sinittext and == _sinittext. The
later variant is seen as a code symbol and recorded in the kallsyms data.
On fix would be to move the exception table a little bit and get some
space between that two areas.

This got broken by the recent "fix rmmod $spi_driver while spidev-user is
active". I tested the rmmod & write path but didn't check the read path.
I am sorry. The read logic changed and spidev_sync_read() +
spidev_sync_write() do not return zero on success anymore but the number
of bytes that has been transfered over the bus. This patch changes the
logic and copy_to_user() gets called again.
The write path returns the number of bytes which are written to the
underlying device what may be less than the requested size. This patch
makes the same change to the read path or else we request a read of 20
bytes, get 10, don't call copy to user and report to the user that we read
10 bytes.

Starting last month, I reached a long-time goal: man-pages finally has a
paid, full-time maintainer, thanks to a fellowship from the Linux
Foundation. It's still a little unclear how long the LF money will last
for the fellowship, but for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on:
* Properly documenting every new Linux kernel-userland (and glibc) API,
and every API change, that is released into the mainline kernel, ideally
before actual release. (That's the ideal, but there's a quite a
backlog, so I'm not going to achieve the ideal immediately.)
* Testing new APIs, again ideally before they are released into the
mainline kernel, and probably doing some light bug fixing while I'm at
it (e.g., the recent utimensat() work).
* Design review of new APIs, which of course can only usefully be done
before they are released into the mainline kernel.
* And of course accepting patches and dealing with bug reports for
existing man pages.
