      ieee1394: shrink tlabel pools, remove tpool semaphores · 9951903e
      Stefan Richter authored
      This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes
      semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c.  On i386, struct hpsb_host
      shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes.  This is accomplished by
       - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many
         instances of semaphores,
       - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the
         protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low),
       - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations.
      
      Drawback:  In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all
      transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also
      woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an
      available tlabel, and is put to sleep again.  The check is not costly
      and the situation occurs extremely rarely.  (Tlabels are typically
      only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread
      which recycles tlables.)  Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size
      outweighs this drawback.
      
      The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled
      anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set.
      
      The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control
      csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host.
      
      Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a
      condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and
      manipulation of the packet).  This side effect happens only if the
      condition is true.  The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not
      evaluating the condition again after it became true.

      [PATCH 6/9] s390: qeth driver fixes [3/6]
      
      From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
             	fixed kernel panic caused by qeth driver:
              Using a bonding device qeth driver will realloc
              headroom for every skb coming from the bond device.
              Once this happens qeth frees the original skb and
              set the skb pointer to the new realloced skb.
              Under heavy transmit workload (e.g.UDP streams) through bond
              network device the qdio output queue might get full.
              In this case we return with EBUSY from qeth_send_packet.
              Returning to qeth_hard_start_xmit routine
              the skb address on the stack still points to the old address,
              which has been freed before.
              Returning from qeth_hard_start_xmit with EBUSY results in
              requeuing the skb. In this case it corrupts the qdisc queue
              and results in kernel panic.

      Hi Jeff,
      this is a RESEND of the nine s390 network driver patches.
      I finally found  that my kmail corrupted almost every patch
      I sent the last time. Please apply these 9 patches and forget
      about my first attempt! Sorry for the delay, I had some fights
      with sendmail, IMAP and mutt configuration.

      	- iucv driver:
                use do { } while (0) constructs
      	  instead of empty defines to avoid compile bugs.
              - ctc driver:

              - lcs driver:
                BUG_ON usage was removed accidently
      	  with the last lcs patch.
                Put them back in place.
