d374c1c128 [sky2] Fix sky2 network driver suspend/resume
This fixes two independent problems: it would not save the PCI state on
suspend (and thus try to resume a nonexistent state on resume), and
while shut off, if an interrupt happened on the same shared irq, the irq
handler would react very badly to the interrupt status being an invalid
all-ones state.

79320d7e14 [TCP]: continued: reno sacked_out count fix
From: Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>

IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect.  it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).

with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.

without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.

think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.

with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were 
lost.

without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

289a1e995e [PATCH] Fix for the PPTP hangs that have been reported
People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.

The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c.  What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty.  That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule.  So far so good.  Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.

However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero.  We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle.  That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0.  That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).

The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine.  The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.

2f9719b61e [PATCH] sata_mv: grab host lock inside eng_timeout
Bug fix:  mv_eng_timeout() calls mv_err_intr() without first grabbing the host lock,
which can lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios.

This whole error-handling portion of sata_mv is nasty (and will get fixed for
the new EH stuff), but for now this patch will help keep it on life-support.

8b8c8d280a [PATCH] PCI: reverse pci config space restore order
According to Intel ICH spec, there are several rules that Base Address
should be programmed before IOSE  (PCICMD register ) enabled.

For example ICH7:

12.1.3  SATA : the base address register for the bus master register
               should be programmed before this bit is set.

11.1.3:  PCICMD (USB): The base address register for USB should be
                       programmed before this bit is set.
....

To make sure kernel code follow this rule , and prevent unnecessary
confusion. I proposal this patch.

8d92bc2270 [PATCH] PCI: Error handling on PCI device resume
We currently don't handle errors properly when resuming a PCI device:
* In pci_default_resume() we capture the error code returned by
  pci_enable_device() but don't pass it up to the caller.
  Introduced by commit 95a629657d
* In pci_resume_device(), the errors possibly returned by the driver's
  .resume method or by the generic pci_default_resume() function are
  ignored.

This patch fixes both issues.

Doesn't look serious.  init_module() is not __init, but it calls
some __init functions and touches some __initdata.

BTW, I would be happy to see some consistent results from modpost
section checking.  I don't see all of these warnings (I see only 1)
when using gcc 3.3.6.  What gcc version are you using?
Does that matter?  (not directed at anyone in particular)

Patch below fixes it for me.  Please test/report.

670bd95e04 [PATCH] Further alterations for memory barrier document
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out
with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan
Stern.

The following changes were made:

 (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory
     barriers was wrong.

 (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is
     a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier.  This isn't entirely
     true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both.

 (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the
     loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the
     opposite order to the stores around the write barrier.

 (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to
     the stores.

 (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences"
     section to make them clearer.  Added a couple of diagrams to make it more
     clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier.

 (*) Added a section on memory speculation.

 (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory
     barriers.  They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on.  This may be
     worthy of further documentation later.

 (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a
     full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

56f1319e87 [ARM] Fix Integrator and Versatile interrupt initialisation
Both Integrator and Versatile were using set_irq_handler() and
enable_irq(), and working around the initialisation of the
chained interrupt, instead of the more correct
set_irq_chained_handler() function.  Fix Integrator and
Versatile to use the right function, and remove these work-arounds.

46b304934d [SPARC64]: Avoid JBUS errors on some Niagara systems.
Doing PCI config space accesses to non-present PCI slots
can result in fatal JBUS errors if the PCI config access
hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot
cpu.

PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just
fine.

Recursively traverse the OBP device tree under the PCI
controller node and record all present device IDs into
a small hash table.

Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access
attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table.

f49639e643 [TG3]: Handle Sun onboard tg3 chips more correctly.
Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead:

1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM
   for config information.  If that is off we will get
   timeouts.

2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no
   firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead
   just report it the first time we notice this condition.

3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device
   is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT.

Update driver version and release date.

With help from Michael Chan and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto.

133dda1e4f [PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection
The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a
pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware
will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is
needed.

33b7497794 [PATCH] powerpc: Fix call to ibm,client-architecture-support
The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware
ibm,client-architecture-support method on pSeries has a bug where it
fails to properly pass the instance handle of the firmware object when
trying to call a method. Result ranges from the call doing nothing to
the firmware crashing. (Found by Segher, thanks !)
