8ff499e43c smc91x: let smc91x work well under netpoll
The NETPOLL requires that interrupts remain disabled in its callbacks.

Using *_irq_save()/irq_restore() to replace *_irq_disable()/irq_enable()
functions in NETPOLL's callbacks of smc91x, so that it doesn't enable
interrupts when already disabled, and kgdboe/netconsole would work
properly over smc91x.

built if CONFIG_ARCH_PXA is defined, so to make this part of the code

PXA is not selected.

A SMC91X_USE_DMA flag is added to the platform data to allow platform
to choose its usage of DMA. Note this flag itself is so named to be
generic enough (assuming other platforms can also use DMA).

It keeps backward compatibility to set the SMC91X_USE_DMA flag if
SMC_USE_PXA_DMA is still defined.

d280eadc4f [NET] smc91x: remove "irq_flags" from "struct smc91x_platdata"
IRQ trigger type can be specified in the IRQ resource definition by
IORESOURCE_IRQ_*, we need only one way to specify this.

This also fixes the following small issue:

To allow dynamic support for multiple platforms, when those relevant
macros are not defined for one specific platform, the default case
will be:

	- SMC_DYNAMIC_BUS_CONFIG defined
	- and SMC_IRQ_FLAGS = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING

While if "irq_flags" is missing when defining the smc91x_platdata,
usually as follows:

  static struct smc91x_platdata xxxx_smc91x_data = {
	.flags	= SMC91X_USE_XXBIT,
  };

The lp->cfg.irq_flags will always be overriden by the above structure
(due to a memcpy), thus rendering lp->cfg.irq_flags to be "0" always.
(regardless of the default SMC_IRQ_FLAGS or IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags)

Fixes this by forcing to use IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags if present, and
make the only user of smc91x_platdata.irq_flags (renesas/migor) to
use IORESOURCE_IRQ_*.

4bb073c0e3 net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

Since 43cc71eed1, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable network
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

NOTE: didn't change drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c "old binding" support.
That looks problematic in the first place (it even uses the ancient "struct
device_driver" binding scheme for platform_bus!) and I suspect it will vanish
soonish when arch/powerpc rules the world.  Also, drivers/net/ne.c would have
needed more thought to sort out.

e7b3dc7ef1 [NET] smc91x: Make smc91x use IRQ resource trigger flags
smc91x is shared between many different platforms.  Each platform needs
to specify the interrupt type, and in some cases the irq type depends
on more than just the build configuration - it depends on runtime
checks.

Rather than throwing this code into the SMC_IRQ_FLAGS definition, provide
a way for these flags to be passed via the IRQ resource itself.

Note that IRQF_TRIGGER_* constants are intentionally defined to correspond
with the IORESOURCE_IRQ_* interrupt type flags, in much the same way that
the low bits of PCI iomem resources correspond with the BAR flag bits.

Also provide a way to configure smc91x to read the IRQ flags from the
resource.  Once all platforms have been converted over (signified
by all definitions of SMC_IRQ_FLAGS being -1) SMC_IRQ_FLAGS should
be removed.

6d5aefb8ea WorkQueue: Fix up arch-specific work items where possible
Fix up arch-specific work items where possible to use the new work_struct and
delayed_work structs.

Three places that enqueue bits of their stack and then return have been marked
with #error as this is not permitted.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

76cb4fe7c0 [PATCH] lockdep: fix smc91x
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.

Nico - please review and ack if you think the patch is correct.
