With this the driver supports the ethtool_ops {get,set}_msglvl, {get,set}_settings, get_stats, get_link, and nway_reset. Unlike the first patch, the userspace ioctl functions are protected with spin_lock_irqsave. Furter I moved the spin_lock_bh from the mdio_{read,write} functions to vortex_timer(). All the locks acquire vp->lock now, vp->mdio_lock is not used any more.

The problem is that under the new PCI driver model, cards are required to always restore state and call pci_enable_device() on resume. So the patch changes the driver to do its restore state calls unconditionally (it used to only do them when it was configured for wake-on-lan) and adds a call to pci_enable_device().

Enable reload of EEPROM values in reset at rmmod for cards that need it, similar to old EEPROM_NORESET flag but in reverse. (Most?) 3c905 and (some?) 3c905B cards need an additional bit unmasked in the reset at rmmod or else they don't get reinitialized properly when the driver is reloaded. Signed-of-by: John W.

This patch below is needed to suppress the warning, with more than one indirect block insertion at a time, it is now possible to split indirect items as well and there were reports on lkml from people who seen this warning and were worried about it. To be on the safe side, I consulted with Vladimir Saveliev and he said that the change is safe to do indeed.

Remove random pool resizing sysctl. It's racy in hard to fix ways and doesn't really warrant fixing. It also only allows adjusting the input pool size so it's either obsolete or incomplete. The default 4kbits (512 bytes) of entropy pool should be more than big enough for all purposes and too small to be a memory concern. This patch removes the resizing code and marks the sysctl read-only.

XFS doesn't need the i_alloc_sem at all, so we should avoid taking it in direct-io.c completely. As a side-effect it makes the code a little bit simpler even.

We, Linux/M32R project members, decided to change the kernel API/ABI. This modification is not small, but if we don't change it now, perhaps we have no chance to change them hereafter. * Why change the m32r kernel API/ABI? - The m32r port has many old-style syscall interfaces, because we made m32r port refering to the other traditional archs. Some old syscalls are no longer used or can be safely removed by upgrading the GNU C library. - To make the m32r kernel more secure, it is preferable to prevent stack region from being executed. (e.g. stack overflow) * API/ABI changes - include/asm-m32r/unistd.h: Upgrade to the new kernel API. - arch/m32r/entry.S: Minimum update to the new ABI. - Don't use UID16 syscalls. - To make stack noexecutable: 1) Don't use trampoline for signal handlers for kernel space (cf. sparc64): sys_signal: remove. sys_sigaction, sys_rt_sigaction: use glibc's restorer. 2) Don't generate trampoline code by GCC in userspace: Support non-executable stack by the m32r gcc. --> done (for gcc-3.4.3/gcc-4.0) * New userland - This modification does *not* keep backward compatibility. So we have been prepared new userland, based on the new API/ABI. Already, more than 200 new Debian deb binary packages are available on the Linux/M32R site: http://debian.linux-m32r.org/dists/04_ordovician/ (for this new ABI) Signed-off-by: NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@fsij.org> Signed-off-by: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

During resume, my previous patch switches over to the saved swsusp image without suspending all devices first. This patch fixes that oversight, so that the state of the hardware upon resume more closely matches the state it had at suspend time. While my previous patch alone seemed to work fine in my testing, it is not fully correct without this as well. Signed-off-by: Barry K.

Since at least kernel 2.6.9, if not earlier, swsusp fails to properly suspend and resume all devices. The most notable effect is that resuming fails to properly reconfigure interrupt routers. In 2.6.9 this was obscured by other kernel code, but in 2.6.10 this often causes post-resume APIC errors and near-total failure of some PCI devices (e.g. network, sound and USB controllers). Even in cases where interrupt routing is unaffected, this bug causes other problems. For instance, on one of my systems I have to run "ifdown eth0;ifup eth0" after resume in order to have functional networking, if I do not apply this patch. By itself, this patch is not theoretically complete; my next patch fixes that. However, this patch is the critical one for fixing swsusp's behavior in the real world. Signed-off-by: Barry K.

In the recent IOMMU cleanup, the new LPAR code assumes that all PHBs must have a dma window assigned to it. On some machines we don't have a window assinged unless there's an adapter in the slot. In other words, a PHB without a ibm,dma-window property is not a bug and must be tolerated. This patch fixes that, and also removes a redundant check for the dma-window being defined.

The vm_enough_memory functionality was replicated in three separate places, and not always kept in sync. It also used capable() for authorization checks. This caused any process which ends up checking for this permission to have PF_SUPERPRIV set (inappropriately), and caused poor dependencies between stacked modules, since each LSM was generically asked to moderate capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) without knowing why.

The following patch splits bprm_apply_creds into two functions, bprm_apply_creds and bprm_post_apply_creds. The latter is called after the task_lock has been dropped. Without this patch, SELinux must drop the task_lock and re-acquire it during apply_creds, making the 'unsafe' flag meaningless to any later security modules. Please apply.

When a thread stops for ptrace exit tracing, it cannot be resumed by SIGKILL. Once PF_EXITING is set, SIGKILL will not cause a wakeup from stop (see wants_signal in kernel/signal.c).

Upon reevaluation we think it is indeed safe to permit the race between a ptrace call and the traced thread waking up, as long as it will never get back to user mode. This patch makes SIGKILL wake up threads in TASK_TRACED. That alone resolves most of the deadlock issues that became possible with the introduction of TASK_TRACED, getting us back to the killing behavior of 2.6.8 and before. This patch also further cleans up ptrace detaching, so that threads are left in TASK_STOPPED only if a job control stop is actually in effect, and otherwise resume. This removes the past nuisances requiring a SIGCONT to resume a thread even when it had a pending SIGKILL.
