git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma Pull more rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is the second group of code for the 4.7 merge window. It looks large, but only in one sense. I'll get to that in a minute. The list of changes here breaks down as follows: - Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the hardware counters RDMA devices might support so drivers don't need to code this up repeatedly themselves - SendOnlyFullMember multicast support - IB router support - A couple misc fixes - The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1 driver out of staging There was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had in the first pull request but they weren't. So that added to the length of the hfi1 section here. As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight forward. The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion. The write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications. The writev interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures. The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely different event mechanism. With the security patch, we put security checks on the write interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon. Now, we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications. With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to the list later). As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area. Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that), the line count, especially the removal count, is high" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (56 commits) staging/rdma: Remove the entire rdma subdirectory of staging IB/core: Make device counter infrastructure dynamic IB/hfi1: Fix pio map initialization IB/hfi1: Correct 8051 link parameter settings IB/hfi1: Update pkey table properly after link down or FM start IB/rdamvt: Fix rdmavt s_ack_queue sizing IB/rdmavt: Max atomic value should be a u8 IB/hfi1: Fix hard lockup due to not using save/restore spin lock IB/hfi1: Add tracing support for send with invalidate opcode IB/hfi1, qib: Add ieth to the packet header definitions IB/hfi1: Move driver out of staging IB/hfi1: Do not free hfi1 cdev parent structure early IB/hfi1: Add trace message in user IOCTL handling IB/hfi1: Remove write(), use ioctl() for user cmds IB/hfi1: Add ioctl() interface for user commands IB/hfi1: Remove unused user command IB/hfi1: Remove snoop/diag interface IB/hfi1: Remove EPROM functionality from data device IB/hfi1: Remove UI char device IB/hfi1: Remove multiple device cdev ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound into for-linus ASoC: Updates for v4.7 part 2 Really sorry about this late pull request. It looks like at the time I sent my pull request for v4.7 there was some conflict or other issue which caused my script to stop merging the ASoC branches at some point after the HDMI changes. It's all specific driver updates, including: - New drivers for MAX98371 and TAS5720. - SPI support for TLV320AIC32x4. - TDM support for STI Uniperf IPs. This code should all have been in -next prior to the merge window apart from some fixes, it dropped out on the 18th.

2016-05-26IB/hfi1: Remove multiple device cdevDennis Dalessandro
hfi1 current exports a cdev that can be used to target all of the hfi's in the system. However there is a problem with this approach in that the devices could be on different subnets. This is a problem that user space can figure out and explicitly tell the driver on which device to create a context. Remove the multi-purpose cdev leaving a dedicated cdev for each port. Also remove the striping capability that is dependent upon the user choosing the multi-purpose cdev. It is now up to user space to determine how to stripe contexts.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and appeared in -next. The "device dax" implementation was revised this week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite. Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in the next few days. This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot across 226 configs. Summary: - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable. Specifically this interface: a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time. b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what fault scenarios are supported. Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature differentiated memory ranges. - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats. This enables management of these first generation devices until a unified DSM specification materializes. - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm identifier format. - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (40 commits) libnvdimm, dax: fix deletion libnvdimm, dax: fix alignment validation libnvdimm, dax: autodetect support libnvdimm: release ida resources Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices" /dev/dax, core: file operations and dax-mmap /dev/dax, pmem: direct access to persistent memory libnvdimm: stop requiring a driver ->remove() method libnvdimm, dax: record the specified alignment of a dax-device instance libnvdimm, dax: reserve space to store labels for device-dax libnvdimm, dax: introduce device-dax infrastructure nfit: add sysfs dimm 'family' and 'dsm_mask' attributes tools/testing/nvdimm: ND_CMD_CALL support nfit: disable vendor specific commands nfit: export subsystem ids as attributes nfit: fix format interface code byte order per ACPI6.1 nfit, libnvdimm: limited/whitelisted dimm command marshaling mechanism nfit, libnvdimm: clarify "commands" vs "_DSMs" libnvdimm: increase max envelope size for ioctl acpi/nfit: Add sysfs "id" for NVDIMM ID ...

2016-05-17NVMe: Allow user initiated rescanKeith Busch
This exposes ioctl and sysfs methods a user can invoke to request the driver rescan a controller and its namespaces. This is less harsh than doing a controller reset, which temporarilly halts all IO, just to surface a newly attached namespace. This is mainly useful for controllers that implement the namespace management command, but do not support the namespace notify change asynchronous event notification.

2016-05-16perf core: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack traceArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc}, while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace. So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members. A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain implementation by some arch.

2016-05-16net: cls_u32: Add support for skip-sw flag to tc u32 classifier.Samudrala, Sridhar
On devices that support TC U32 offloads, this flag enables a filter to be added only to HW. skip-sw and skip-hw are mutually exclusive flags. By default without any flags, the filter is added to both HW and SW, but no error checks are done in case of failure to add to HW. With skip-sw, failure to add to HW is treated as an error. Here is a sample script that adds 2 filters, one with skip-sw and the other with skip-hw flag. # add ingress qdisc tc qdisc add dev p4p1 ingress # enable hw tc offload. ethtool -K p4p1 hw-tc-offload on # add u32 filter with skip-sw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:1 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 \ skip-sw \ match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 \ action drop # add u32 filter with skip-hw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:2 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:2 \ skip-hw \ match ip src 192.168.2.0/24 \ action drop Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
