2016-07-04cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interfaceBjørn Mork
Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames have been received over the data interface. The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and baseband firmware. Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear. Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.

2016-07-04ALSA: timer: Fix negative queue usage by racy accessesTakashi Iwai
The user timer tu->qused counter may go to a negative value when multiple concurrent reads are performed since both the check and the decrement of tu->qused are done in two individual locked contexts. This results in bogus read outs, and the endless loop in the user-space side. The fix is to move the decrement of the tu->qused counter into the same spinlock context as the zero-check of the counter. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
2016-07-04batman-adv: split routing API data structure in subobjectsAntonio Quartulli
The routing API data structure contains several function pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the component they work with. Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability. At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations much much longer.

2016-07-04batman-adv: throughput meter implementationAntonio Quartulli
The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to approximate TCP behaviour. It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window. The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the receiver abort the ongoing test.

2016-07-03ovl: warn instead of error if d_type is not supportedVivek Goyal
overlay needs underlying fs to support d_type. Recently I put in a patch in to detect this condition and started failing mount if underlying fs did not support d_type. But this breaks existing configurations over kernel upgrade. Those who are running docker (partially broken configuration) with xfs not supporting d_type, are surprised that after kernel upgrade docker does not run anymore. https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/22937#issuecomment-229881315 So instead of erroring out, detect broken configuration and warn about it. This should allow existing docker setups to continue working after kernel upgrade.
