Pull LED fix from Bryan Wu.
* 'fixes-for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds:
leds: leds-gpio: set devm_gpio_request_one() flags param correctly
commit a99d76f leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one
changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead
of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output()
Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the
leds-gpio driver.
The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to:
GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state)
Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the
XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state.
This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial
level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly.
With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value
of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will
call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output().
int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label)
{
..
if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN)
err = gpio_direction_input(gpio);
else
err = gpio_direction_output(gpio,
(flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0);
..
}
The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and
set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA
mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts
or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often
in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad
pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere
worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic.
Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35,
when commit e17f74af35 "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when
no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(),
which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags.
With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit
for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack.
mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context
is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code.
Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might
expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also,
the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not.
Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them
(that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects).
I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy:
it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation
in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be
much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements
throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly
empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node
variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL).
But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested.
