change is made, I should be CCed with info about the change (so that
man-pages can document it). Additionally request that this info be CCed

Basic vfs-level fiemap infrastructure, which sets up a new ->fiemap
inode operation.
Userspace can get extent information on a file via fiemap ioctl. As input,
the fiemap ioctl takes a struct fiemap which includes an array of struct
fiemap_extent (fm_extents). Size of the extent array is passed as
fm_extent_count and number of extents returned will be written into
fm_mapped_extents. Offset and length fields on the fiemap structure
(fm_start, fm_length) describe a logical range which will be searched for
extents. All extents returned will at least partially contain this range.
The actual extent offsets and ranges returned will be unmodified from their
offset and range on-disk.
The fiemap ioctl returns '0' on success. On error, -1 is returned and errno
is set. If errno is equal to EBADR, then fm_flags will contain those flags
which were passed in which the kernel did not understand. On all other
errors, the contents of fm_extents is undefined.
As fiemap evolved, there have been many authors of the vfs patch. As far as
I can tell, the list includes:

With modern hard drives, reading 64k takes roughly the same time as
reading a 4k block. So request readahead for adjacent inode table
blocks to reduce the time it takes when iterating over directories
(especially when doing this in htree sort order) in a cold cache case.
With this patch, the time it takes to run "git status" on a kernel
tree after flushing the caches via "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
is reduced by 21%.

There's already a fc_vport_termintate() call exported by
the transport. This patch adds a symmetric call to the API to allow
an NPIV-capable LLD to instantiate vports sans user intervention.
Additional comments/updates:
Re: scsi_fc_transport.txt
Add a function prototype for fc_vport_terminate similar to what's
done for fc_vport_create
Re: fc_vport_create
I recommend we pass the channel number in fc_vport_create rather
than fixing it at zero.
Also, ids->vport_type should be set to FC_PORTTYPE_NPIV prior to
calling fc_vport_create. The comment is also meaningless.

UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.

This patch against tip/x86/iommu virtually reverts
2842e5bf3115193f05dc9dac20f940e7abf44c1a. But just reverting the
commit breaks AMD IOMMU so this patch also includes some fixes.
The above commit adds new two options to x86 IOMMU generic kernel boot
options, fullflush and nofullflush. But such change that affects all
the IOMMUs needs more discussion (all IOMMU parties need the chance to
discuss it):

Currently, rfkill would stand in the way of properly supporting wireless
devices that are capable of waking the system up from sleep or hibernation
when they receive a special wireless message. It would also get in the way
of mesh devices that need to remain operational even during platform
suspend.
To avoid that, stop trying to block the transmitters on the rfkill class
suspend handler.
Drivers that need rfkill's older behaviour will have to implement it by
themselves in their own suspend handling.
Do note that rfkill *will* attempt to restore the transmitter state on
resume in any situation. This happens after the driver's resume method is
called by the suspend core (class devices resume after the devices they are
attached to have been resumed).
The following drivers need to check if they need to explicitly block
their transmitters in their own suspend handlers (maintainers Cc'd):

This adds the new wireless regulatory infrastructure. The
main motiviation behind this was to centralize regulatory
code as each driver was implementing their own regulatory solution,
and to replace the initial centralized code we have where:
* only 3 regulatory domains are supported: US, JP and EU
* regulatory domains can only be changed through module parameter
* all rules were built statically in the kernel
We now have support for regulatory domains for many countries
and regulatory domains are now queried through a userspace agent
through udev allowing distributions to update regulatory rules
without updating the kernel.
Each driver can regulatory_hint() a regulatory domain
based on either their EEPROM mapped regulatory domain value to a
respective ISO/IEC 3166-1 country code or pass an internally built
regulatory domain. We also add support to let the user set the
regulatory domain through userspace in case of faulty EEPROMs to
further help compliance.
Support for world roaming will be added soon for cards capable of
this.
For more information see:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
For now we leave an option to enable the old module parameter,
ieee80211_regdom, and to build the 3 old regdomains statically
(US, JP and EU). This option is CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY.
These old static definitions and the module parameter is being
scheduled for removal for 2.6.29. Note that if you use this
you won't make use of a world regulatory domain as its pointless.
If you leave this option enabled and if CRDA is present and you
use US or JP we will try to ask CRDA to update us a regulatory
domain for us.

This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue
architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing
this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware
queue.
This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place
the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the
subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.
