008c3422d4 igb: update the approach taken to acquiring and releasing the phy lock
The current approach is just using a ?: type mechanism to set the phy
locking bit.  This if fine for now but limits us to only 2.  Switch to a
nested if statement for future compatiblity with more than 2 phys.

cc9073bbc9 igb: remove unused temp variable from stats clearing path
There is a temp variable in the stats clearing path that isn't needed since
the results from the stats read can be immediately discared.  Since it
isn't needed we might as well just drop it from the function call.

d519e17e2d net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs
This patch exports the link-speed (in Mbps) and duplex of an interface
via sysfs.  This eliminates the need to use ethtool just to check the
link-speed.  Not requiring 'ethtool' and not relying on the SIOCETHTOOL
ioctl should be helpful in an embedded environment where space is at a
premium as well.

NOTE: This patch also intentionally allows non-root users to check the link
speed and duplex -- something not possible with ethtool.

Here's some sample output:

# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
100
# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/duplex
half
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
        Supported ports: [ TP ]

Instead of having to modify every non-mac80211 for device type assignment,

0bfbedb14a tunnels: Optimize tx path
We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock

This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.

Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats

977750076d af_packet: add interframe drop cmsg (v6)
Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information

I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss
during an AF_PACKET packet capture session.  Specifically the requestors want to
see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40
frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file.  In order
to do this we need:

1) The kernel to export this data to user space
2) The applications to make use of it

This patch addresses item (1).  It does this by doing the following:

A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we
also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap.

B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the
value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark.  skb->cb would nominally be the place to
record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading
skb->mark.  Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be
unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx
path to the application.  After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero
po->stats.tp_gap.  This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost
between any two enqueued packets

C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look
at skb->mark for that frame.  If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the
msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA.  Its a 32 bit integer that
represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous
frame received.

Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the
socket is closed, some gap data might be lost.  This is covered by the use of
the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data.  With a bit of
math, the final gap can be determined that way.

I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.

b3a5b6cc7c icmp: No need to call sk_write_space()
We can make icmp messages tx completion callback a litle bit faster.

Setting SOCK_USE_WRITE_QUEUE sk flag tells sock_wfree() to
not call sk_write_space() on a socket we know no thread is posssibly
waiting for write space. (on per cpu kernel internal icmp sockets only)

This avoids the sock_def_write_space() call and
read_lock(&sk->sk_callback_lock)/read_unlock(&sk->sk_callback_lock) calls
as well.

We avoid three atomic ops.

whether people perhaps meant -rc1 or -rc2.

Global values for service time and utilization are garbage. For
interval values, utilization is always 100%, and service time is
higher than normal.

I bisected it down to:
[a9327cac44] Seperate read and write
statistics of in_flight requests
and verified that reverting just that commit indeed solves the issue
on 2.6.32-rc1."

So until this is debugged, revert the bad commit.

e00c54c36a cfq-iosched: don't delay async queue if it hasn't dispatched at all
We cannot delay for the first dispatch of the async queue if it
hasn't dispatched at all, since that could present a local user
DoS attack vector using an app that just did slow timed sync reads
while filling memory.

0b5759c654 tty: Avoid dropping ldisc_mutex over hangup tty re-initialization
A couple of people have hit the WARN_ON() in drivers/char/tty_io.c,
tty_open() that is unhappy about seeing the tty line discipline go away
during the tty hangup. See for example

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14255

and the reason is that we do the tty_ldisc_halt() outside the
ldisc_mutex in order to be able to flush the scheduled work without a
deadlock with vhangup_work.

However, it turns out that we can solve this particular case by

 - using "cancel_delayed_work_sync()" in tty_ldisc_halt(), which waits
   for just the particular work, rather than synchronizing with any
   random outstanding pending work.

   This won't deadlock, since the buf.work we synchronize with doesn't
   care about the ldisc_mutex, it just flushes the tty ldisc buffers.

 - realize that for this particular case, we don't need to wait for any
   hangup work, because we are inside the hangup codepaths ourselves.

so as a result we can just drop the flush_scheduled_work() entirely, and
then move the tty_ldisc_halt() call to inside the mutex.  That way we
never expose the partially torn down ldisc state to tty_open(), and hold
the ldisc_mutex over the whole sequence.

0a3d31b79e m32r: Fix IPI function calls for SMP
This patch fixes the m32r SMP kernel after 2.6.27.

A part of the following patch breaks m32r SMP operation.
> m32r: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls
> commit 7b7426c8a6

In the above patch, a CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI was newly introduced,
but the its IPI vector number was wrong in the patch code.

The m32r SMP kernel hanged-up during boot operation, because
the CPU_BOOT_IPI was called instead of CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI
(CPU_BOOT_IPI had no side effect at that time because the 2nd
core had already been started up),
as a result, csd_unlock() was not called, then a dead lock
occurred in csd_lock_wait() after the detection of Compact Flash
memory as IDE generic disk.

In case CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM is set, the memory size of system was
always determined by CONFIG_MEMORY_SIZE and was not changeable.

This patch fixes set_memory() of arch/m32r/mm/discontig.c so that
we can specify memory size by the "mem=<size>" kernel parameter.
