Joe Perches pointed out an error in patch 8.  As I looked at the results
closer 3 out of 4 looked correct.  This fixes the output for the last
case.  Output is now the same on IA32 and PPC64 hardware.

This patch avoids a timeout when entering/exiting promiscuous mode with
tcpdump.  All pending xmit operations are flushed and if the queue is
full the timeout will occur.  The wake_queue avoids that timeout.
Tested ppc64 and ia32.

This patch corrects a printk when executed on a big-endian system.  Tested
ppc64.

The 79C973 version of the pcnet32 chipset would report all transmit
operations as being sent with a carrier error.  The root cause was
writing reserved bits in bcr33.  It caused the 973 to report xmit
as errors, and caused 975 and 976 to hard hang when reading bcr34.

My thanks to Bruce Penrod for his help in finding the cause of this
bug.

The current code will allow an infinite number of frames to be received
during one interrupt.  Tested ia32 and ppc64.

This removes the timer I recently added, and the 'ltint' interrupt
mitigation from the 79C971 and 79C972. It did not improve performance,
added complexity, and was a bad idea in hind sight.

This patch fixes a boundary condition.  It is possible to get an
interrupt and have the transmit queue completely full.  Without this
the driver will leak skb's and pci maps (if the arch supports them).

This patch correctly identifies the 79C976 as a PCnet/PRO not a FAST III.

This patch fixes a hard hang with 79C975 and 79C976 chip variants when
dumping BCR register #34.

This patch adds 'static' to two routines.  The prototype has static but
the instantiation did not.

This fixes an oops on unmount (failure of the assertation at
fs/ext3/super.c:421).  Probably reproduceable just by creating and deleting a
single symlink over nfs and then unmounting the exported filesystem.

Recent change to fh_compose means dentry reference is *not* consumed, and so
usually has to be explicitly dput afterwards.  One usage was missed in that
patch, so this dput is needed.

Fix a CPU Hotplug problem wherein idle task's "->prio" value is not
restored to MAX_PRIO during CPU_DEAD handling.  Without this patch, once a
CPU is offlined and then later onlined, it becomes "more or less" useless
(does not run any task other than its idle task!)

Ingo said:

  The __setscheduler() call is (technically) incorrect because in the
  SCHED_NORMAL case the prio should be zero.  So it's a bit cleaner to set up
  the static priority to MAX_PRIO and then revert the policy to SCHED_NORMAL
  via __setscheduler().

We need to set file->f_ra _after_ calling blkdev_open(), when inode->i_mapping
points at the right thing.  And we need to get it from
inode->i_mapping->host->i_mapping too, which represents the underlying device.

Also, don't test for null file->f_mapping in the O_DIRECT checks.

In researching the oopses reported in bug #2761, Neil came up with:

I have found one problem, but it isn't particularly new and I cannot
 see how it would be related.

When d_alloc_anon creates an anonymous dentry, it is put on a special hash
chain for anonymous dentries (sb->s_anon), but d_bucket is set to 

   d_hash(parent, name_hash)

If, when it is eventually moved to a proper name, that hash value is the same
as the final hash value, it will not be moved to the right bucket, and so it
not be accessible by name.  This patch should fix it.



anonymous dentries have their own private hash "bucket" (sb->s_anon) and so
d_bucket should be set to a unique (impossible) address, else d_move will
get confused.

There is a race between unshare_files() and the following steal_locks().
As a consequence, steal_locks() may steal some additional FL_POSIX locks
that don't belong to the current thread.  This triggers a BUG in
locks_remove_flock().

In detail, the current thread shares its files struct with other threads.
This causes unshare_files() to associate the current thread with a copy of
its files_struct.  The copy shares all file objects with the original files
struct.  In the time between unshare_files() and steal_locks(), another
thread creates a new file and a FL_POSIX lock on it.  The current thread
gets into steal_locks() and takes over all FL_POSIX locks that refer to the
previous files_struct, including the new lock.  We do
put_files_struct(original files_struct).  This causes the file handle to
the new file to be closed.  We get into locks_remove_posix() and miss the
lock, because its fl_owner field now refers to the new files_struct. 
Finally we get into locks_remove_flock(), and stumble upon the lock.

While looking into this bug report I gathered the following data with a
SUSE kernel (oops and LKCD dump from Chris):

Here's a proposed fix.  As a side effect, steal_locks no longer walks the
global list of locks, but only the locks of all open inodes.

What are the reasons (other than historic ones) for not getting rid of
fl_owner and using fl_pid instead, by the way?  I think that would clean up
the whole mess with file locks a bit.

ptep_establish() is used to establish a new mapping at COW time,
and it always replaces a non-writable page mapping with a totally
new page mapping that is dirty (and likely writable, although ptrace
may cause a non-writable new mapping). Because it was nonwritable,
we don't have to worry about losing concurrent dirty page bit updates.

ptep_update_access_flags() leaves the same page mapping, but updates
the accessed/dirty/writable bits (it only ever sets them, and never
removes any permissions). Often easier, but it may race with a dirty
bit update on another CPU.

PAGE_SIZE isn't even always defined at this point,

When trying to spddelete individual entries using setkey, spddelete always 
fails.  The culprit is in net/af_key.c; spdadd sets the family field of the 
selector when creating an entry, but spddelete doesn't when building a 
selector to match for xfrm_policy_bysel.  Trivial fix is to have spddelete 
set the family field in the selector in same way spdadd does.

helper function to write-back the dirty and accessed bits from
ptep_establish().

Right now this defaults to the same old "set_pte()" that we've
always done, except for x86 where we now fix the (unlikely)
race in updating accessed bits and dropping a concurrent dirty
bit.
