[PATCH] bug: nfsd/nfs4xdr.c misuse of ERR_PTR()
a) ERR_PTR(nfserr_something) is a bad idea;
IS_ERR() will be false for it.
b) mixing nfserr_.... with -EOPNOTSUPP is
even worse idea.
nfsd4_path() does both; caller expects to get NFS protocol error out it if
anything goes wrong, but if it does we either do not notice (see (a)) or get
host-endian negative (see (b)).
IOW, that's a case when we can't use ERR_PTR() to return error, even though we
return a pointer in case of success.

[PATCH] uml: use DEFCONFIG_LIST to avoid reading host's config
This should make sure that, for UML, host's configuration files are not
considered, which avoids various pains to the user. Our dependency are such
that the obtained Kconfig will be valid and will lead to successful
compilation - however they cannot prevent an user from disabling any boot
device, and if an option is not set in the read .config (say
/boot/config-XXX), with make menuconfig ARCH=um, it is not set. This always
disables UBD and all console I/O channels, which leads to non-working UML
kernels, so this bothers users - especially now, since it will happen on
almost every machine (/boot/config-`uname -r` exists almost on every machine).
It can be workarounded with make defconfig ARCH=um, but it is non-obvious and
can be avoided, so please _do_ merge this patch.
Given the existence of options, it could be interesting to implement
(additionally) "option required" - with it, Kconfig will refuse reading a
.config file (from wherever it comes) if the given option is not set. With
this, one could mark with it the option characteristic of the given
architecture (it was an old proposal of Roman Zippel, when I pointed out our
problem):
config UML
option required
default y
However this should be further discussed:
*) for x86, it must support constructs like:
==arch/i386/Kconfig==
config 64BIT
option required
default n
where Kconfig must require that CONFIG_64BIT is disabled or not present in the
read .config.
*) do we want to do such checks only for the starting defconfig or also for
.config? Which leads to:
*) I may want to port a x86_64 .config to x86 and viceversa, or even among more
different archs. Should that be allowed, and in which measure (the user may
force skipping the check for a .config or it is only given a warning by
default)?

This patch allows a TIPC application to cancel an existing
topology service subscription by re-requesting the subscription
with the TIPC_SUB_CANCEL filter bit set. (All other bits of
the cancel request must match the original subscription request.)

[TIPC]: Fixed slow link reactivation when link tolerance is large
This patch corrects an issue wherein a previouly failed node could
not reestablish a links to a non-failing node in the TIPC network
until the latter node detected the link failure itself (which might
be configured to take up to 30 seconds). The non-failing node now
responds to link setup requests from a previously failed node in at
most 1 second, allowing it to detect the link failure more quickly.
