I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding
interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce.  Since
the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a
pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that
the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to
request the stats zeroes the stats again.

This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated
stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats
structure.  This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats
should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics.
This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems
like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.

	This patch eliminates a problem (reported by lockdep) in the
bond_set_multicast_list function.  It first reduces the locking on
bond->lock to a simple read_lock, and second, adds netif_tx locking
around the bonding mc_list manipulations that occur outside of the
set_multicast_list function.

Subject: [PATCH, REPOST] Fix/Rewrite of the mipsnet driver
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello All,

currently the mipsnet driver fails after transmitting a number of
packages because SKBs are allocated but never freed. I fixed that
and coudn't refrain from removing the most egregious warts.

- mipsnet.h folded into mipsnet.c, as it doesn't provide any
  useful external interface.
- Free SKB after transmission.
- Call free_irq in mipsnet_close, to balance the request_irq in
  mipsnet_open.
- Removed duplicate read of rxDataCount.
- Some identifiers are now less verbose.
- Removed dead and/or unnecessarily complex code.
- Code formatting fixes.

Tested on Qemu's mipssim emulation, with this patch it can boot a
Debian NFSroot.

Resubmitting patch from Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>, with subject -
[PATCH] s2io LRO bugs.
a) initiate_new_session() sets ->tcp_ack to ntohl(...); everything
   else stores and expects to find there the net-endian value.
b) check for monotonic timestamps in verify_l3_l4_lro_capable()
   compares the value sitting in TCP option (right there in the skb->data,
   net-endian 32bit) with the value picked from earlier packet.
   Doing that without ntohl() is an interesting idea and it might even
   work occasionally; unfortunately, it's quite broken.

macb devices are only found integrated on SoCs, so they can't be
hotplugged. Thus, the probe() and exit() functions can be __init and
__exit, respectively. By using platform_driver_probe() instead of
platform_driver_register(), there won't be any references to the
discarded probe() function after the driver has loaded.

This also fixes a section mismatch due to macb_probe(), defined as
__devinit, calling macb_get_hwaddr, defined as __init.

Frederik Himpe reported an unkillable and un-straceable pan process.

Zero length iovecs can go into an infinite loop in writev, because the
iovec iterator does not always advance over them.

The sequence required to trigger this is not trivial. I think it
requires that a zero-length iovec be followed by a non-zero-length iovec
which causes a pagefault in the atomic usercopy. This causes the writev
code to drop back into single-segment copy mode, which then tries to
copy the 0 bytes of the zero-length iovec; a zero length copy looks like
a failure though, so it loops.

Put a test into iov_iter_advance to catch zero-length iovecs. We could
just put the test in the fallback path, but I feel it is more robust to
skip over zero-length iovecs throughout the code (iovec iterator may be
used in filesystems too, so it should be robust).
