The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
state. Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.
Without this patch, I have observed GCC reordering the setting of
bdp->length and bdp->status in gfar_new_skb. Hardware reordering
was also theoretically possible.

Original patch is from Jeff Haran <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style
fixes. His comments follow:
The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a
read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4),
followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While
the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE
specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843)
the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set
(bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the
write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software
reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its
power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating
the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to
spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear
before doing the modify/write.
The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a
software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control
register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same
register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY
itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset
is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this
software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of
mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on
some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the
function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing
the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

After a suspend/resume cycle, the UART may have been reset into
low-speed mode -- either because it's actually been reset, or because
the firmware pokes at the old-style divisor registers. If we detected it
as a NS16550A SuperIO chip in the first place and set baud_base to
921600, then we should do so again in the resume path.
This patch adds that code to serial8250_resume_port(), and also makes
serial8250_resume() actually call serial8250_resume_port() for each port
instead of just calling uart_resume_port() directly. And thus fixes
serial port operation after suspend/resume.
It also fixes a bogus comment where we write the EXCR2 register with a
comment saying /* EXCR1 */

grow_dev_page() simply passes GFP_NOFS to find_or_create_page. This means
the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation
of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS.
The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags
for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get
DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be
allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk.

Currently we have a maze of configuration variables that determine the
maximum slab size. Worst of all it seems to vary between SLAB and SLUB.
So define a common maximum size for kmalloc. For conveniences sake we use
the maximum size ever supported which is 32 MB. We limit the maximum size
to a lower limit if MAX_ORDER does not allow such large allocations.
For many architectures this patch will have the effect of adding large
kmalloc sizes. x86_64 adds 5 new kmalloc sizes. So a small amount of
memory will be needed for these caches (contemporary SLAB has dynamically
sizeable node and cpu structure so the waste is less than in the past)
Most architectures will then be able to allocate object with sizes up to
MAX_ORDER. We have had repeated breakage (in fact whenever we doubled the
number of supported processors) on IA64 because one or the other struct
grew beyond what the slab allocators supported. This will avoid future
issues and f.e. avoid fixes for 2k and 4k cpu support.
CONFIG_LARGE_ALLOCS is no longer necessary so drop it.
It fixes sparc64 with SLAB.

The RFC for this patch was discussed at

Destructors were mainly used for list management which required them to take a
spinlock. Taking a spinlock in a destructor is a bit risky since the slab
allocators may run the destructors anytime they decide a slab is no longer
needed.
Patch drops destructor support. Any attempt to use a destructor will BUG().
