Florian Westphal reported that the removal of the NOTRACK target
(9655050 netfilter: remove xt_NOTRACK) is breaking some existing
setups.
That removal was scheduled for removal since long time ago as
described in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
What: xt_NOTRACK
Files: net/netfilter/xt_NOTRACK.c
When: April 2011
Why: Superseded by xt_CT
Still, people may have not notice / may have decided to stick to an
old iptables version. I agree with him in that some more conservative
approach by spotting some printk to warn users for some time is less
agressive.
Current iptables 1.4.16.3 already contains the aliasing support
that makes it point to the CT target, so upgrading would fix it.
Still, the policy so far has been to avoid pushing our users to
upgrade.
As a solution, this patch recovers the NOTRACK target inside the CT
target and it now spots a warning.

controls API failures"
Commit f0ed2ce840b3 ("[media] uvcvideo: Set error_idx properly for
extended controls API failures") causes user space to behave incorrectly
on one of my test machines (there is no sound under KDE 4.9.4 using
pulseaudio and there is a knotify4 process occupying one of the CPU
cores 100% of the time). Reverting that commit entirely fixes the
problem for me.
However, commit f0ed2ce840b3 appears to do more than it follows from its
changelog, because the changelog only says about the changes related to
ctrls->error_idx, while the commit additionally changes error codes
returned by various functions in uvc_ctrl.c and uvc_v4l2.c. It turns
out that the changes of the returned error codes confuse the user spce,
so it is sufficient to revert the part of commit f0ed2ce840b3 not
mentioned in its changelog to fix the problem.

If an LM73 device does not exist on an I2C bus, attempts to communicate
with the device result in an error code returned from the i2c read/write
functions. The current lm73 driver casts that return value from a s32
type to a s16 type, then converts it to a temperature in celsius.
Because negative temperatures are valid, it is difficult to distinguish
between an error code printed to the response buffer and a negative
temperature recorded by the sensor.
The solution is to evaluate the return value from the i2c functions
before performing any temperature calculations. If the i2c function did
not succeed, the error code should be passed back through the virtual
file system layer instead of being printed into the response buffer.
Before:
$ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_input

After:
$ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/temp1_input

Bug is from arp_solicit(), releasing the neigh lock after arp_send()
In case of vxlan, we eventually need to write lock a neigh lock later.
Its a false positive, but we can get rid of it without lockdep
annotations.
We can instead use neigh_ha_snapshot() helper.

Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target.
Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this
field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data
are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be
used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by
removing some per-target mempools.
Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The
argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in
dm_target.
If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to
the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the
same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to
dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface
whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous.
WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient
zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it.
Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each
WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the
specified extent.
The dm thin target uses this.

WRITE SAME bios have a payload that contain a single page. When

Allow targets to opt in to WRITE SAME support by setting
'num_write_same_requests' in the dm_target structure.
A dm device will only advertise WRITE SAME support if all its
targets and all its underlying devices support it.

If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc()
rather than vmalloc().
vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate
page tables.
In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times.
On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%.
This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the
parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc()
was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

Nearly all of persistent-data is in the IO path so throttle error
messages with DMERR_LIMIT to limit the amount logged when
something has gone wrong.

Reinstate a useful error message when the block manager buffer validator fails.
This was mistakenly eliminated when the block manager was converted to use
dm-bufio.

If the user does not supply a bitmap region_size to the dm raid target,
a reasonable size is computed automatically. If this is not a power of 2,
the md code will report an error later.
This patch catches the problem early and rounds the region_size to the
next power of two.
