Instead of io_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1] for up to two ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_io(), the ports found there
are reserved, after calling pcmcia_request_configuration(), they may
be used.

The order of freeing the IRQ and freeing the device in firmware
in ibmveth_close can cause the adapter to become unusable after a
subsequent ibmveth_open. Only a reboot of the OS will make the
network device usable again. This is seen when cycling the adapter
up and down while there is network activity.
There is a window where an IRQ will be left unserviced (H_EOI will not
be called). The solution is to make a VIO_IRQ_DISABLE h_call, free the
device with firmware, and then call free_irq.

The rt2x00dev->intf_work workqueue is never initialized when a driver is
probed for a non-existent device (in this case rt2500usb). On such a
path we call rt2x00lib_remove_dev() to free any resources initialized
during the probe before we use INIT_WORK to initialize the workqueue.
This causes lockdep to get confused since the lock used in the workqueue
hasn't been initialized yet but is now being acquired during
cancel_work_sync() called by rt2x00lib_remove_dev().
Fix this by initializing the workqueue first before we attempt to probe
the device. This should make lockdep happy and avoid breaking any
assumptions about how the library cleans up after a probe fails.
phy0 -> rt2x00lib_probe_dev: Error - Failed to allocate device.
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.

"hostap: Protect against initialization interrupt" (which reinstated
"wireless: hostap, fix oops due to early probing interrupt")
reintroduced Bug 16111. This is because hostap_pci wasn't setting
dev->base_addr, which is now checked in prism2_interrupt. As a result,
initialization was failing for PCI-based hostap devices. This corrects
that oversight.

virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason
add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the

at all is outstanding.

This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of
the s2io driver.
On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes
pause frames which are not indicated to the driver. This can cause
issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually
been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received.
The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware
statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes. It also uses the
overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit
register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the
previous call). rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized
packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting. Finally,
rx_crc_errors are now being counted.

Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.
The flow for this is,
dev_queue_xmit()
dev_pick_tx()
skb_tx_hash() => hash using real_num_tx_queues
skb_set_queue_mapping()
...
qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
dev_hard_start_xmit()
ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash
skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues. When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.
This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

When there is a firmware error or the firmware is reloaded for some other
reason we currently clear all station information, including keys
associated with them. A problem is that we do not clear some other
information regarding keys that are not stored in the station structs.
The consequence of this is that when the device is reconfigured after the
firmware reload we can, among other things, run out of key indices.
This fixes:

When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.
What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.
See more information including the relevant functions below:
System 1 System 2
bond0 bond0
ping <system2>
ARP request --------->
<--------- ARP reply
+->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins
| rlb_update_entry_from_arp |
| client_info->ntt = 1; |
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; |
| |
| <communication succeed> |
| |
| bond_alb_monitor |
| rlb_update_rx_clients |
| rlb_update_client |
| arp_create(ARPOP_REPLY) |
| send ARP reply --------------> V
| send ARP reply -------------->
| rlb_arp_recv
| rlb_update_entry_from_arp
| client_info->ntt = 1;
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1;
| < snipped, same as in system 1>
+------- <-------------- send ARP reply
<-------------- send ARP reply
Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.
This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

bonding: make bonding support netpoll
but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over
bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed
or converted completely to RCU. Simple actions like changing the active
slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk
debugging level is enabled.
Keeping the old code around will be good for anyone that wants to work
on it (and for after the RCU conversion), so I propose this small patch
rather than ripping it all out.

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self

iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

sky2_phy_reinit is called by the ethtool helpers sky2_set_settings,
sky2_nway_reset and sky2_set_pauseparam when netif_running.
However, at the end of sky2_phy_init GM_GP_CTRL has GM_GPCR_RX_ENA and
GM_GPCR_TX_ENA cleared. So, doing these commands causes the device to
stop working:
$ ethtool -r eth0
$ ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off
Fix this issue by enabling Rx/Tx after running sky2_phy_init in
sky2_phy_reinit.

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.
This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.

This patch removes the setting of the low_latency flag.
tty_flip_buffer_push() is occasionally being called in irq context, which
causes a hang if the low_latency flag is set.
Removing the low_latency flag only seems to impact the flush to ldisc,
which will now be put on a workqueue.

ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in
several places, but a newly created interface may not have a
channel. To avoid null pointer dereferences, set it up to point
to the first available channel until later reconfigured.
This fixes the following oops:
$ rmmod ath5k
$ insmod ath5k
$ iw phy0 set distance 11000
