Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding
tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock
might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing.Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an
interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at
triggering it ;)Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it
be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.Cc: Oleg Nesterov

sis900: phy for FoxCon motherboard
dl2k: use DMA_48BIT_MASK constant
phy: mdiobus_register(): initialize all phy_map entries
sky2: ifdown kills irq mask -
661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset. The patch adds
an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver.The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from
http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem,
because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen.Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a
LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing
retransmits. There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms,
and it made Netrek suck. I can provide further test data.Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise
100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation.I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description
field is a guess.This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be
changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.Diff is against 2.6.16.13.

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller -
The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed
call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error
code if the class_device registration failed.Side effects:
* one state in registration process is unnecessary.
* register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug
* code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger

A race condition exists in mptfc between the thread registering a device
with the fc transport and the scan work generated by the transport.
This race existed prior to the application of the mptfc bug fix patch.mptfc_register_dev() calls fc_remote_port_add() with the FC_RPORT_ROLE_TARGET
bit set in the rport ids passed to the function. Having this bit set causes
fc_remote_port_add() to schedule a scan of the device.This scan can execute before mptfc_register_dev() can fill in the dd_data
in the rport structure. When this happens, mptfc_target_alloc() will fail
because dd_data is null.Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. The patch changes the rport ids
passed to fc_remote_port_add() to not have the TARGET bit set. This prevents
the scan from being scheduled. After mptfc_register_dev() fills in the rport
dd_data field, fc_remote_port_rolechg() is called, changing the role of the
rport to TARGET. Thus, the scan is scheduled after dd_data is filled
in which prevents the failure in mptfc_target_alloc().Signed-off-by: Michael Reed

tg3_run_loopback doesn't check that dev_alloc_skb() returns anything
useful.Even if dev_alloc_skb() fails to return an skb to us we'll happily go
on and assume it did, so we risk dereferencing a NULL pointer. Much
better to fail gracefully by returning -ENOMEM than crashing here.Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl

The test used in the linkwatch does not handle wrap-arounds correctly.
Since the intention of the code is to eliminate bursts of messages we
can afford to delay things up to a second. Using that fact we can
easily handle wrap-arounds by making sure that we don't delay things
by more than one second.This is based on diagnosis and a patch by Stefan Rompf.

Fix races in in destroying various objects. If a destroy routine
waits for an object to become free by doingwait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount));
/* now clean up and destroy the object */and another place drops a reference to the object by doing
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount))
wake_up(&obj->wait);then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final
freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the
wake_up(). And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be
called on part of the already-freed object.Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old
integers protected by a spinlock. This makes it possible to do the
decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears
as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue.While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being
cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it. So
there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's
perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier
