8447891fe8 debugfs: Add debugfs_create_u64()
I went to use this the other day, only to find it didn't exist.

It's a straight copy of the debugfs u32 code, then s/u32/u64/. A quick
test shows it seems to be working.

4628803062 kobject core: remove rwsem from struct subsystem
It isn't used at all by the driver core anymore, and the few usages of
it within the kernel have now all been fixed as most of them were using
it incorrectly.  So remove it.

Now the whole struct subsys can be removed from the system, but that's
for a later patch...

In cases when there are devices of different types in the same class
we can't use class's implementation of suspend and resume methods and
we need to add them to struct device_type instead.

74e9f5fa15 Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.

Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

21c7f30b1d driver core: per-subsystem multithreaded probing
Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.

It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device).  Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another. 
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.

b8c5cec23d Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver binding
We get two per-bus sysfs files:
  ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices
  drwxr-xr-x 7 root root    0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe

The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.

The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
driver to this device.

Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
bus initiated probing:
  echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
  echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
  ...

and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
  ...

Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
  ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
  ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
  ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"

This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.

With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
whatever ...

To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

6c210482ae [S390] split page_test_and_clear_dirty.
The page_test_and_clear_dirty primitive really consists of two
operations, page_test_dirty and the page_clear_dirty. The combination
of the two is not an atomic operation, so it makes more sense to have
two separate operations instead of one.
In addition to the improved readability of the s390 version of
SetPageUptodate, it now avoids the page_test_dirty operation which is
an insert-storage-key-extended (iske) instruction which is an expensive
operation.

071b638689 [WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().

cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:

	before this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued

	after this patch:
		work->func may still be running or queued, or
		delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
		delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING
		bit set.

cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:

	delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
	is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
	works on single-threaded workqueue).

	In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
	else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn
	has already passed __queue_work() (and wont't touch delayed_work)
	because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.

663ead3bb8 [NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_header
The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload.  Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.

This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.

This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums.  This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.

No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.

For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

c45d286e72 [NET]: Inline net_device_stats
Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them.  It would be nice if
this were done by default.

1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
   ->get_stats is set.

This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.

Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

35fc92a9de [NET]: Allow forwarding of ip_summed except CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
partial checksums.  One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE were added is so that we can get rid of this hack
(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).

I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit.  In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.

Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE.  This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.

So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
ip_summed (mostly) on forwarded packets.

fa0b2d1d21 [NET] fib_rules: Add no-operation action
The use of nop rules simplifies the usage of goto rules
and adds more flexibility as they allow targets to remain
while the actual content of the branches can change easly.

2b44368307 [NET] fib_rules: Mark rules detached from the device
Rules which match against device names in their selector can
remain while the device itself disappears, in fact the device
doesn't have to present when the rule is added in the first
place. The device name is resolved by trying when the rule is
added and later by listening to NETDEV_REGISTER/UNREGISTER
notifications.

This patch adds the flag FIB_RULE_DEV_DETACHED which is set
towards userspace when a rule contains a device match which
is unresolved at the moment. This eases spotting the reason
why certain rules seem not to function properly.

0947c9fe56 [NET] fib_rules: goto rule action
This patch adds a new rule action FR_ACT_GOTO which allows
to skip a set of rules by jumping to another rule. The rule
to jump to is specified via the FRA_GOTO attribute which
carries a rule preference.

Referring to a rule which doesn't exists is explicitely allowed.
Such goto rules are marked with the flag FIB_RULE_UNRESOLVED
and will act like a rule with a non-matching selector. The rule
will become functional as soon as its target is present.

The goto action enables performance optimizations by reducing
the average number of rules that have to be passed per lookup.

Example:
0:      from all lookup local
40:     not from all to 192.168.23.128 goto 32766
41:     from all fwmark 0xa blackhole
42:     from all fwmark 0xff blackhole
32766:  from all lookup main

1d00a4eb42 [NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handler
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used
to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted
because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is
simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue()
deal with getting the queue right.

nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers
but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore
it can be removed there as well.

This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected
message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.
