Merge tag 'staging-4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.

  There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
  removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument
  device support. Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...

  Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:

   - new iio drivers

   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)

   - vbox driver updates and fixes

   - erofs fixes

   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a
  bit "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
  Mantainers summit"

-POHMELFS: Parallel Optimized Host Message Exchange Layered File System.
-
-		Evgeniy Polyakov <zbr@ioremap.net>
-
-Homepage: http://www.ioremap.net/projects/pohmelfs
-
-POHMELFS first began as a network filesystem with coherent local data and
-metadata caches but is now evolving into a parallel distributed filesystem.
-
-Main features of this FS include:
- * Locally coherent cache for data and metadata with (potentially) byte-range locks.
-	Since all Linux filesystems lock the whole inode during writing, algorithm
-	is very simple and does not use byte-ranges, although they are sent in
-	locking messages.
- * Completely async processing of all events except creation of hard and symbolic
-	links, and rename events.
-	Object creation and data reading and writing are processed asynchronously.
- * Flexible object architecture optimized for network processing.
-	Ability to create long paths to objects and remove arbitrarily huge
-	directories with a single network command.
-	(like removing the whole kernel tree via a single network command).
- * Very high performance.
- * Fast and scalable multithreaded userspace server. Being in userspace it works
-	with any underlying filesystem and still is much faster than async in-kernel NFS one.
- * Client is able to switch between different servers (if one goes down, client
-	automatically reconnects to second and so on).
- * Transactions support. Full failover for all operations.
-	Resending transactions to different servers on timeout or error.
- * Read request (data read, directory listing, lookup requests) balancing between multiple servers.
- * Write requests are replicated to multiple servers and completed only when all of them are acked.
- * Ability to add and/or remove servers from the working set at run-time.
- * Strong authentication and possible data encryption in network channel.
- * Extended attributes support.
-
-POHMELFS is based on transactions, which are potentially long-standing objects that live
-in the client's memory. Each transaction contains all the information needed to process a given
-command (or set of commands, which is frequently used during data writing: single transactions
-can contain creation and data writing commands). Transactions are committed by all the servers
-to which they are sent and, in case of failures, are eventually resent or dropped with an error.
-For example, reading will return an error if no servers are available.
-
-POHMELFS uses a asynchronous approach to data processing. Courtesy of transactions, it is
-possible to detach replies from requests and, if the command requires data to be received, the
-caller sleeps waiting for it. Thus, it is possible to issue multiple read commands to different
-servers and async threads will pick up replies in parallel, find appropriate transactions in the
-system and put the data where it belongs (like the page or inode cache).
-
-The main feature of POHMELFS is writeback data and the metadata cache.
-Only a few non-performance critical operations use the write-through cache and
-are synchronous: hard and symbolic link creation, and object rename. Creation,
-removal of objects and data writing are asynchronous and are sent to
-the server during system writeback. Only one writer at a time is allowed for any
-given inode, which is guarded by an appropriate locking protocol.
-Because of this feature, POHMELFS is extremely fast at metadata intensive
-workloads and can fully utilize the bandwidth to the servers when doing bulk
-data transfers.
-
-POHMELFS clients operate with a working set of servers and are capable of balancing read-only
-operations (like lookups or directory listings) between them according to IO priorities.
-Administrators can add or remove servers from the set at run-time via special commands (described
-in Documentation/filesystems/pohmelfs/info.txt file). Writes are replicated to all servers, which
-are connected with write permission turned on. IO priority and permissions can be changed in
-run-time.
-
-POHMELFS is capable of full data channel encryption and/or strong crypto hashing.
-One can select any kernel supported cipher, encryption mode, hash type and operation mode
-(hmac or digest). It is also possible to use both or neither (default). Crypto configuration
-is checked during mount time and, if the server does not support it, appropriate capabilities
-will be disabled or mount will fail (if 'crypto_fail_unsupported' mount option is specified).
-Crypto performance heavily depends on the number of crypto threads, which asynchronously perform
-crypto operations and send the resulting data to server or submit it up the stack. This number
-can be controlled via a mount option.

-POHMELFS usage information.
-
-Mount options.
-All but index, number of crypto threads and maximum IO size can changed via remount.
-
-idx=%u
- Each mountpoint is associated with a special index via this option.
- Administrator can add or remove servers from the given index, so all mounts,
- which were attached to it, are updated.
- Default it is 0.
-
-trans_scan_timeout=%u
- This timeout, expressed in milliseconds, specifies time to scan transaction
- trees looking for stale requests, which have to be resent, or if number of
- retries exceed specified limit, dropped with error.
- Default is 5 seconds.
-
-drop_scan_timeout=%u
- Internal timeout, expressed in milliseconds, which specifies how frequently
- inodes marked to be dropped are freed. It also specifies how frequently
- the system checks that servers have to be added or removed from current working set.
- Default is 1 second.
-
-wait_on_page_timeout=%u
- Number of milliseconds to wait for reply from remote server for data reading command.
- If this timeout is exceeded, reading returns an error.
- Default is 5 seconds.
-
-trans_retries=%u
- This is the number of times that a transaction will be resent to a server that did
- not answer for the last @trans_scan_timeout milliseconds.
- When the number of resends exceeds this limit, the transaction is completed with error.
- Default is 5 resends.
-
-crypto_thread_num=%u
- Number of crypto processing threads. Threads are used both for RX and TX traffic.
- Default is 2, or no threads if crypto operations are not supported.
-
-trans_max_pages=%u
- Maximum number of pages in a single transaction. This parameter also controls
- the number of pages,  allocated for crypto processing (each crypto thread has
- pool of pages, the number of which is equal to 'trans_max_pages'.
- Default is 100 pages.
-
-crypto_fail_unsupported
- If specified, mount will fail if the server does not support requested crypto operations.
- By default mount will disable non-matching crypto operations.
-
-mcache_timeout=%u
- Maximum number of milliseconds to wait for the mcache objects to be processed.
- Mcache includes locks (given lock should be granted by server), attributes (they should be
- fully received in the given timeframe).
- Default is 5 seconds.
-
-Usage examples.
-
-Add server server1.net:1025 into the working set with index $idx
-with appropriate hash algorithm and key file and cipher algorithm, mode and key file:
-$cfg A add -a server1.net -p 1025 -i $idx -K $hash_key -k $cipher_key
-
-Mount filesystem with given index $idx to /mnt mountpoint.
-Client will connect to all servers specified in the working set via previous command:
-mount -t pohmel -o idx=$idx q /mnt
-
-Change permissions to read-only (-I 1 option, '-I 2' - write-only, 3 - rw):
-$cfg A modify -a server1.net -p 1025 -i $idx -I 1
-
-Change IO priority to 123 (node with the highest priority gets read requests).
-$cfg A modify -a server1.net -p 1025 -i $idx -P 123
-
-One can check currect status of all connections in the mountstats file:
-# cat /proc/$PID/mountstats
-...
-device none mounted on /mnt with fstype pohmel
-idx addr(:port) socket_type protocol active priority permissions
-0 server1.net:1026 1 6 1 250 1
-0 server2.net:1025 1 6 1 123 3
-
-Server installation.
-
-Creating a server, which listens at port 1025 and 0.0.0.0 address.
-Working root directory (note, that server chroots there, so you have to have appropriate permissions)
-is set to /mnt, server will negotiate hash/cipher with client, in case client requested it, there
-are appropriate key files.
-Number of working threads is set to 10.
-
-# ./fserver -a 0.0.0.0 -p 1025 -r /mnt -w 10 -K hash_key -k cipher_key
-
- -A 6			 - listen on ipv6 address. Default: Disabled.
- -r root                 - path to root directory. Default: /tmp.
- -a addr                 - listen address. Default: 0.0.0.0.
- -p port                 - listen port. Default: 1025.
- -w workers              - number of workers per connected client. Default: 1.
- -K file		 - hash key size. Default: none.
- -k file		 - cipher key size. Default: none.
- -h                      - this help.
-
-Number of worker threads specifies how many workers will be created for each client.
-Bulk single-client transafers usually are better handled with smaller number (like 1-3).

-POHMELFS network protocol.
-
-Basic structure used in network communication is following command:
-
-struct netfs_cmd
-{
