d8b9f23b23 IB: Fix display of 4-bit port counters in sysfs
The code to display local_link_integrity_errors and
excessive_buffer_overrun_errors in
/sys/class/infiniband/<hca>/ports/<n>/counters/
uses the wrong shift to extract the 4 bit values.

77ef6c4d6e [PATCH] USB: ub oops in block_uevent
In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens
because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer,
but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users
to pin device structures.

The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only
by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses
device structures (kobjects actually).

436f5762bc [PATCH] USB: usbcore: don't check the device's power source
The choose_configuration() routine contains code the determine the
device's power source, so that configurations requiring external power
can be ruled out if the device is running on bus power.  Unfortunately
it turns out that some devices have errors in their config descriptors
and other devices don't like the GET_DEVICE_STATUS request.

Since that information wasn't used for anything else, this patch (as673)
removes the code, leaving only a comment.  It fixes bugzilla entry
#6448.

db4cefaaea [PATCH] USB: fix OHCI PM regression
This fixes a small regression in USB controller power usage for many
OHCI controllers, notably including every non-PCI version of OHCI:  on
those systems, the runtime autosuspend mechanism is no longer enabled.

The change moves to saner defaults.  All root hubs are expected to handle
remote wakeup (and hence autosuspend), although drivers for buggy silicon
may override that default.

Because of the way stringify works, using an expression

67c752b41a [PATCH] USBATM: change the default speedtouch iso altsetting
The maximum possible bandwidth for a speedtouch modem is about 7Mbaud.
You can only get this by using isochronous urbs (enable_isoc=1) and
altsetting 3.  With the current default altsetting of 2, the modem
maxes out at about 4Mbaud.  So change the default altsetting to 3
when using isochronous urbs.  It would be nice to base the altsetting
on the detected line speed, but that's hard given the current design.

3e0d167a6b [PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.
