This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.This import is based on my latest from -mm.

$subject was fixed in 2.4 already, 2.6 needs it as well.
The impact of the bugs is a kernel stack overflow and privilege escalation
from CAP_NET_ADMIN via the IP_VS_SO_SET_STARTDAEMON/IP_VS_SO_GET_DAEMON
ioctls. People running with 'root=all caps' (i.e., most users) are not
really affected (there's nothing to escalate), but SELinux and similar
users should take it seriously if they grant CAP_NET_ADMIN to other users.Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

Patch indents dmfe.txt to look like other docs. It adds a tip about CNET
cards using Davicom chipsets. Also it removes parts where it refers to how
to build driver out-of-kernel which seems to be cruft from times where the
driver was out of the kernel.Signed-off-by: Ismail Donmez

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.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
count if the socket was actually hashed.This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
resulting in all kinds of troubles.On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
conditional to erroneously trigger:err = -ENOMEM;
if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
goto err;2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces. Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

The spin loop in 8139cp is limited to 100 iterations when pulling hardware
stats. There is no allowance for processor speed so on a fast machine, the
stats may not be available that fast. Also, if the board doesn't return
soon enough make sure turn the address back off to prevent later updates
when memory has gone away. -

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

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
All ixdp platforms currently have a cpld mapped in at 0xfafff000.
Since this address is not 1M-aligned, a regular page mapping will be
used instead of a section mapping, which opens up the possibility of
triggering ixp2400 erratum #66 as we only do the XCB=101 workaround
thing for section mappings.
There is still a lot of space higher up in the virtual memory map
for 1M mappings, so move the cpld mapping to 0xfe000000 and make it
1M big so that a section mapping will be used for it.Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek
