* [PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes)Roger Luethi2006-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have been put into D3 (power-saving) mode. This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip to sleep.

* [PATCH] lockdep: fix smc91xRussell King2006-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When booting using root-nfs, I'm seeing (independently) two lockdep dumps in the smc91x driver. The patch below fixes both. Both dumps look like real locking issues.

This scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening should be very rare though. The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix: 1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition. 2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit() when the ring is full. 3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling netif_wake_queue(). 4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail(). 5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size. 6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

| | * [IPV4]: Possible leak of multicast source filter sctructureMichal Ruzicka2006-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a leak of a socket's multicast source filter list structure on closing a socket with a multicast source filter set on an interface that does not exist any more.

| | * [IPV6] lockdep: annotate __icmpv6_socketIngo Molnar2006-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Split off __icmpv6_socket's sk->sk_dst_lock class, because it gets used from softirqs, which is safe for __icmpv6_sockets (because they never get directly used via userspace syscalls), but unsafe for normal sockets. Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On High end systems (1024 or so cpus) this can potentially cause stack overflow. Fix the stack usage.

| | * [VLAN]: Make sure bonding packet drop checks get done in hwaccel RX path.David S. Miller2006-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since __vlan_hwaccel_rx() is essentially bypassing the netif_receive_skb() call that would have occurred if we did the VLAN decapsulation in software, we are missing the skb_bond() call and the assosciated checks it does. Export those checks via an inline function, skb_bond_should_drop(), and use this in __vlan_hwaccel_rx(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
