Edits to the driver-model documentation for grammar, clarity and content.
These docs haven't been updated in years, and some of the technical content
and discussion has become stale; this patch updates these. In addition,
some of the language is awkward. Fix this.
(I'm trying to cleanup the other files in this directory also,
patches for these will come a bit later).

Make sure tg3_reset_task() is flushed in the close and suspend paths
as noted by Jeff Garzik.
In the close path, calling flush_scheduled_work() may cause deadlock
if linkwatch_event() is on the workqueue. linkwatch_event() will try
to get the rtnl_lock() which is already held by tg3_close(). So
instead, we set a flag in tg3_reset_task() and tg3_close() polls
the flag until it is cleared.

The current logic does not calculate correctly the good shift array:
Let x be the pattern that is being searched. Let y be the block of data.
The good shift array aligns the segment:
x[i+1 ... m-1] = y[i+j+1 ... j+m-1]
with its rightmost occurrence in x that fulfils x[i] neq y[i+j].
In previous version, the good shift array for the pattern ANPANMAN is:
[1, 8, 3, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8]
and should be:
[1, 8, 3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6]

OK this is definitely broken. We should never touch the dst lock in
softirq context. Since inet6_destroy_sock may be called from that
context due to the asynchronous nature of sockets, we can't take the
lock there.
In fact this sk_dst_reset is totally redundant since all IPv6 sockets
use inet_sock_destruct as their socket destructor which always cleans
up the dst anyway. So the solution is to simply remove the call.

The spin locks in multipath_wrandom may be obtained from either process
context or softirq context depending on whether the packet is locally
or remotely generated. Therefore we need to disable BH processing when
taking these locks.

SCTP used to "fast retransmit" a TSN every time we hit the number
of missing reports for the TSN. However the Implementers Guide
specifies that we should only "fast retransmit" a given TSN once.
Subsequent retransmits should be timeouts only. Also change the
number of missing reports to 3 as per the latest IG(similar to TCP).

Currently the logic in ipv6_ifa_notify is to hold an extra reference
count for addrconf dst's that get added to the routing table. Thus,
when addrconf dst entries are taken out of the routing table, we need
to drop that dst. However, addrconf dst entries may be removed from
the routing table by means other than __ipv6_ifa_notify.
So we're faced with the choice of either fixing up all places where
addrconf dst entries are removed, or dropping the extra reference count
altogether.
I chose the latter because the ifp itself always holds a dst reference
count of 1 while it's alive. This is dropped just before we kfree the
ifp object. Therefore we know that in __ipv6_ifa_notify we will always
hold that count.

As 'array_size' is a 'sector_t', it may overflow inappropriately when shifted
10 bits. So We should cast it to a loff_t first.
There are two places with this problem, but the second (in update_raid_disks)
isn't needed so just remove it:
The only personality that handles ->reshape currently is raid1,
and it doesn't change the size of the array.
When added for raid5/6, reshape again won't change the size of the array,
at least not straight away.
This code might be need for reshaping 'linear' but linear->shape,
if implemented, should probably do the i_size_write itself.

This is to work around a defect in HP rx5670 firmware: when an interrupt

It seems serial_core intend to initialize port->lock just once for each
ports. This is done in uart_set_options() for console, and in
uart_add_one_port() for other ports. But there is a case the port->lock is
not initialized by serial_core. If the setup function for the console was
failed, it will not call uart_set_options() but the port is marked as
console (uart_console(port) returns 1). It can happen if console was PCI
port which can not detected at the time of register_console.
This patch is to initialize port->lock for such console port. With this
change, most of spin_lock_init() (some of them are labeled "Temporary
fix.") in low-level serial drivers can be omitted.
