Markus Brunner cbea270714 gianfar: stop send queue before resetting gianfar
After a transmit timed out, the reset task will be called, which will free the
allocated resources(stop_gfar). If gfar_poll will be called before the
resources get allocated again gfar_clean_tx_ring will call
dev_kfree_skb_any(NULL).

Example crash:

Wu Fengguang 95615d90a3 ixgbe: fix tx queue index
Don't do the num_tx_queues based masking on calculating tx queue
index.

 1) num_tx_queues is not always power-of-2, because it also depends on
    the online cpu numbers. So the masking could be a performance bug
    on a 6 cpu system.
 2) queue_mapping will be limited by real_num_tx_queues=num_tx_queues
    in the generic netdev function set_cur_queue_map(). So the bound
    limiting here is not necessary.

This reverts commit 244f46ae6e.

Alan Cox did the research, and just like the other radio protocols
zero-length frames have meaning because at the top level ROSE is

Ben Hutchings 239795adf7 sfc: Use correct macro to set event bitfield
falcon_sim_phy_event() used EFX_OWORD_FIELD, which operates on
bitfields in 128-bit values, on an event, which is a 64-bit value.
This should be harmless - these macros always use little-endian
ordering, so it would read and write back the following 8 bytes
unchanged - but it is obviously wrong.

Michal Schmidt d119b39279 skge: fix occasional BUG during MTU change
The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up()
was sometimes observed when setting MTU.

skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via
skge_tx_clean().
Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the
other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another
CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable().

The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes
failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.

When I made the tun driver use non-linear packets as the preferred

a completely non-linear packet, which triggers a crash when we call
eth_type_trans.

This patch reverts non-GSO users to using linear packets and adds
a check to ensure that GSO users can't cause crashes in the same
way.

Herbert Xu 1db9e29bb0 gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path
Hi:

gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path

When we detect netpoll RX on the GRO VLAN path we bail out and
call the normal VLAN receive handler.  However, the packet needs
to be normalised by calling eth_type_trans since that's what the
normal path expects (normally the GRO path does the fixup).

This patch adds the necessary call to vlan_gro_frags.

Anatolij Gustschin a8729eb302 phylib: Allow early-out in phy_change
Marvell 88E1121R Dual PHY device can be hardware-configured
to use shared interrupt pin for both PHY ports. For such
PHY configurations using shared PHY interrupt phy_interrupt()
handler will also schedule a work for PHY port which didn't
cause an interrupt.

This patch adds a possibility for PHY drivers to provide
did_interrupt() function which reports if the PHY (or a PHY
port in a multi-PHY device) generated an interrupt. This
function is called in phy_change() as phy_change() shouldn't
proceed if it is invoked for a PHY which didn't cause an
interrupt. So check for interrupt originator in phy_change()
to allow early-out.

James Bottomley 0d489ffb76 tg3: fix big endian MAC address collection failure
We noticed on parisc that our broadcoms all swapped MAC addresses going
from 2.6.29 to 2.6.30-rc1:

Apr 11 07:48:24 ion kernel: eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95700A6) rev 0105] (PCI:66MHz:64-bit) MAC address 00:30:6e:4b:15:59
Apr 13 07:34:34 ion kernel: eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95700A6) rev 0105] (PCI:66MHz:64-bit) MAC address 00:00:59:15:4b:6e

The problem patch is:

commit 6d348f2c1e
Author: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@broadcom.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 25 14:25:52 2009 +0000

    tg3: Eliminate tg3_nvram_read_swab()

With the root cause being the use of memcpy to set the mac address:

   memcpy(&dev->dev_addr[0], ((char *)&hi) + 2, 2);
   memcpy(&dev->dev_addr[2], (char *)&lo, sizeof(lo));

This might work on little endian machines, but it can't on big endian
ones.  You have to use the original setting mechanism to be correct on
all architectures.

The attached patch fixes parisc.

Rafael J. Wysocki c751085943 PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.

In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
attempting to open the resume device.

Andrew Morton 01599fca67 cpufreq: use smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c
Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu().  Just use
smp_call_fuction_single() here.

This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,
due to

  commit 6b44003e5c
  Author: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
  Date:   Thu Apr 9 09:50:37 2009 -0600

      work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand

It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.

Valdis Kletnieks also reports that this causes 70-90 forks per second on
his hardware.

Serge E. Hallyn 0ad30b8fd5 add some long-missing capabilities to fs_mask
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux
cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having
fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and
CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE.  However, before capabilities the privilege
to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0.

This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask,
restoring the old behavior.

See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for
reference.

Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4
and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.

Changelog:
	[Mar 23] Actually delete old CAP_FS_SET definition...
	[Mar 20] Updated against J. Bruce Fields's patch
