a26c074c1c [PATCH] net/sb1000: replace nicedelay() with ssleep()
Use ssleep() instead of nicedelay()
to guarantee the task delays as expected. Remove the prototype and
definition of nicedelay(). This is a very weird function, because it is
called to sleep in terms of usecs, but always sleeps for 1 second,
completely ignoring the parameter. I have gone ahead and followed suit,
just sleeping for a second in all cases, but maybe someone with the
hardware could tell me if perhaps the paramter *should* matter. Additionally,
nicedelay() is called in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state, but doesn't deal with signals
in case these longer delays do not complete, so I believe ssleep() is more
appropriate.

feea1db26e [PATCH] defxx: Use irqreturn_t for the interrupt handler
This is a fix for the interrupt handler in the defxx driver to use
irqreturn_t.  Beside the obvious fix of returning a proper status at all,
it actually checks board registers as appropriate for determining if an
interrupt has been recorded in the bus-specific interface logic.

The patch also includes an obvious one-line fix for SET_NETDEV_DEV needed
for the EISA variation, for which I've decided there is no point in sending
separately.

93ad4fb04f [PATCH] pcnet_cs.c: IRQ handler optimization
During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful
code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two
minor comment fixes included).

Improvement:
instead of *always* calculating
lea    0x2c0(%edx),%ebx
and then additionally doing the
mov    %edx,0xc0(%ebx)
addition *if we need it*,

we now do the *whole* calculation of
mov    %edx,0x380(%ebx)
*only* if we need it.
This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss
in this compilation case.

Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and
non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier.

Thank you for your support,

Andreas Mohr

169a3e6663 bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.

Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode.  Jason's
original comment is as follows:

The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:

      - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
        * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
          of different hashing policies for mode 2.  The original mode 2
          policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
        * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()

This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in
Foundry documentation found at:

Christoph Lameter
3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

bbe832c092 [TG3]: Refinements to new locking strategy.
1. Move tp->irq_sync = 0 to before the interrupt mailbox IO in
   tg3_enable_ints() so that the interrupt handler will always see
   irq_sync == 0 when interrupts are enabled.

2. Remove the tg3_enable_ints() call in tg3_reset_hw(). Interrupts are
   always enabled explicitly or through tg3_netif_start(). This is to
   prevent interrupts being enabled while poll is disabled.

3. Update trans_start with jiffies in tg3_netif_stop() to prevent false
   NETDEV WATCHDOG.

4. Pass in the proper irq_sync parameter to tg3_full_lock() depending on
   netif_running() in some of the ethtool set calls.

f47c11eecc [TG3]: Eliminate all hw IRQ handler spinlocks.
Move all driver spinlocks to be taken at sw IRQ
context only.

This fixes the skb_copy() we were doing with hw
IRQs disabled (which is illegal and triggers a
BUG() with HIGHMEM enabled).  It also simplifies
the locking all over the driver tremendously.

We accomplish this feat by creating a special
sequence to synchronize with the hw IRQ handler
using a binary state and synchronize_irq().
This idea is from Herbert Xu.

Thanks to Michael Chan for helping to track down
all of the race conditions in initial versions
of this code.

and tg3_interrupt_tagged().  tg3_poll() got it right.

Also, SD_STATUS_UPDATED must be cleared in the status block
right before we call tg3_has_work().  Only tg3_poll() got this
wrong.

Based upon patches and commentary from Grant Grundler and
Michael Chan.

9b200b02a6 [SLIP]: Simplify sl_free_bufs()
We can avoid assignments to the local variable 'tmp' and 
actually get rid of tmp alltogether in sl_free_bufs(). This patch does 
that.  This is safe since both kfree() and slhc_free() handles NULL 
pointers gracefully.

243cd55e02 [PATCH] iseries_veth: Supress spurious WARN_ON() at module unload
My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to
prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging", can cause our TX timeout code to
fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between
when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections).

When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON()
because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening,
which is fair enough.

I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on
connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked
skbs lying around for ever.  But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the
WARN_ON().  Users will still see the "NETDEV WATCHDOG" warning, but that's
not nearly as bad as a WARN_ON() which users interpret as an Oops.
