Don't allow splice() to files opened with O_APPEND

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.

It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example.  So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.

But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).

So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now.  I doubt anybody cares, and this

net: Fix netdev_run_todo dead-lock

Benjamin Thery tracked down a bug that explains many instances
of the error

unregister_netdevice: waiting for %s to become free. Usage count = %d

It turns out that netdev_run_todo can dead-lock with itself if
a second instance of it is run in a thread that will then free
a reference to the device waited on by the first instance.

The problem is really quite silly.  We were trying to create
parallelism where none was required.  As netdev_run_todo always
follows a RTNL section, and that todo tasks can only be added
with the RTNL held, by definition you should only need to wait
for the very ones that you've added and be done with it.

There is no need for a second mutex or spinlock.

This is exactly what the following patch does.

16 years agonet: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP

net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:

When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.

The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.

Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.

Especially :

  +   if (!mod->skip)

that it contains the correct value before the block transfer command is
sent.

This error is difficult to reproduce, but if you insert a long delay
(mdelay(10) or thereabouts) between the calls to atmci_start_command()
and atmci_submit_data(), all transfers seem to fail without this patch,

and knock the system down to its shoes.

Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up.

IDE: Fix platform device registration in Swarm IDE driver (v2)

The Swarm IDE driver uses a release method which is defined in the driver
itself thus potentially oopsable.  The simple fix would be to just leak
the device but this patch goes the full length and moves the entire
handling of the platform device in the platform code and retains only
the platform driver code in drivers/ide/mips/swarm.c.

ide-dma: fix ide_build_dmatable() for TRM290

Apparently, 'xcount' being 0 does not mean 0 bytes for TRM290; it means 4 bytes,
judging from the code immediately preceding this check.  So, we must never try
to "split" the PRD for TRM290.

This is probably never hit anyway -- with the DMA buffers aligned to at least
512 bytes and ATAPI DMA not being used for non block I/O commands...
