May turn out to be harmless, but best to be safe. Note max
username length is defined to 32 due to Linux (Windows

cifs: fix length calculation for converted unicode readdir names

cifs_from_ucs2 returns the length of the converted name, including the
length of the NULL terminator. We don't want to include the NULL
terminator in the dentry name length however since that'll throw off the
hash calculation for the dentry cache.

I believe that this is the root cause of several problems that have
cropped up recently that seem to be papered over with the "noserverino"
mount option. More confirmation of that would be good, but this is
clearly a bug and it fixes at least one reproducible problem that
was reported.

This patch fixes at least this reproducer in this kernel.org bug:

ext4: Patch up how we claim metadata blocks for quota purposes

As reported in Kernel Bugzilla #14936, commit d21cd8f triggered a BUG
in the function ext4_da_update_reserve_space() found in
fs/ext4/inode.c.  The root cause of this BUG() was caused by the fact
that ext4_calc_metadata_amount() can severely over-estimate how many
metadata blocks will be needed, especially when using direct
block-mapped files.

In addition, it can also badly *under* estimate how much space is
needed, since ext4_calc_metadata_amount() assumes that the blocks are
contiguous, and this is not always true.  If the application is
writing blocks to a sparse file, the number of metadata blocks
necessary can be severly underestimated by the functions
ext4_da_reserve_space(), ext4_da_update_reserve_space() and
ext4_da_release_space().  This was the cause of the dq_claim_space
reports found on kerneloops.org.

Unfortunately, doing this right means that we need to massively
over-estimate the amount of free space needed.  So in some cases we
may need to force the inode to be written to disk asynchronously in
to avoid spurious quota failures.

firewire: ohci: always use packet-per-buffer mode for isochronous reception

This is a minimal change meant for the short term:  Never set the
ohci->use_dualbuffer flag to true.

There are two reasons to do so:

  - Packet-per-buffer mode and dual-buffer mode do not behave the same
    under certain circumstances, notably if several packets are covered
    by a single fw_cdev_iso_packet descriptor.
    http://marc.info/?l=linux1394-devel&m=124965653718313
    Therefore the driver stack should not silently choose one or the
    other mode but should leave the choice to the high-level driver
    (regardless if kernel driver or userspace driver).  Or simply always
    only offer packet-per-buffer mode, since a considerable number of
    controllers, even current ones, does not offer dual-buffer support.

  - Even under circumstances where packet-per-buffer mode and
    dual-buffer mode behave exactly the same --- notably when used
    through libraw1394, libdc1394, as well as the current two kernel
    drivers which use isochronous reception (firewire-net and firedtv)
    --- we are still faced with the problem that several OHCI 1.1
    controllers have bugs in dual-buffer mode.  Although it looks like
    we have identified most of those buggy controllers by now, we
    cannot be quite sure about that.

So, use packet-per-buffer by default from now on.  This change should
be followed up by a more complete solution:  Either extend the
in-kernel API and the userspace ABI by a choice between the two IR modes
or remove all dual-buffer related code from firewire-ohci.

mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurations

mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration
requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all
the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume
cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume
the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will
continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers,
queue work, and so on for a device which is completley
unfunctional.

The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and
warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch
is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware
reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable
anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a
device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_work

When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.

Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.

The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

It is not clear to me how the first "direct probe" here
happens, but this seems to be a race condition, if the
user requests to deauth after requesting assoc, but before
the assoc response is received. In that case, it may
happen that mac80211 tries to report the assoc success to
cfg80211, but gets blocked on the wdev lock that is held
because the user is requesting the deauth.

The result is that we run into a warning. This is mostly
harmless, but maybe cause an unexpected event to be sent
to userspace; we'd send an assoc success event although
userspace was no longer expecting that.

To fix this, remove the warning and check whether the
race happened and in that case abort processing.

ath5k: fix SWI calibration interrupt storm

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.

However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative.  As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.

Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active.  Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.
