The rx_offset field is set to a constant value and initialized

we can eliminate rx_offset from the bnx2 structure. This will
save 4 bytes for every bnx2 instance.

bnx2: Allow phy reset to be skipped during chip reset.
Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> found that netconsole would
panic when resetting bnx2 devices.
>From Andy:
"The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status
message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling.
Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the
__LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling
but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be
polled, we really have to fix this in drivers.
The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to
remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one."
While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really
should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other
similar settings. The PHY reset causes several seconds of unnecessary
link disruptions.

The use of cli()/sti() within the do/while was a way to ensure

Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md
As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.
For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated.
With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no

memory_hotplug: always initialize pageblock bitmap
Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
list_add(&page->lru,
&zone->free_area[order].free_list[migratetype]);
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since
86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

The AD181x and AZT230 chips don't support an IRQ-less MPU401 option but
work fine without one. This adds (priority functional) IRQ-less options

The AD1815 quirk can't use pnp_register_irq_resource() due to doubly
penalizing the IRQ. Also, while not a practical issue due to no IRQ
option being present for the dependents, this needs to add in front, not
back.
Doesn't use pnp_register_port_resource() for symetry with above.
This does not delete the AD1815 independent option even though it should

still present independent option by default.
Was tested on AD1815, AD1816 and AZT2320. The ALSA snd-

lxfb: extend PLL table to support dotclocks below 25 MHz
Extends the PLL frequency table of the AMD Geode-LX frame buffer driver to
make use of the DIV4 bit, thus adding support for dotclocks between 6 and 25
MHz. These are needed for small LCDs (e.g. 320x240). Also inserts some
intermediate steps between pre-existing frequencies.
The problem was the insertion of intermediate steps into the frequency
table; they would cause the wrong frequency to be matched. This patch
drops those intermediate frequencies while keeping the sub-25MHz

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

ath5k: Fix loop variable initializations

For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets

This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not

mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

iwl3945: do not delay hardware scan if it is a direct scan
iwl3945 <---> mac80211 <----> wpa_supplicant <---> NetworkManager
When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.
I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.
The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.

iwlwifi: don't override association channel with control channel
This patch fixes override of association channel with HT control channel.
The scenario is currently happening because disassociation flow

mac80211: proper STA info locking
As discussed earlier, we can unify locking in struct sta_info
and use just a single spinlock protecting all members of the
structure that need protection. Many don't, but one of the
especially bad ones is the 'flags' member that can currently
be clobbered when RX and TX is being processed on different
CPUs at the same time.
Because having four spinlocks for different, mostly exclusive
parts of a single structure is overkill, this patch also kills
the ampdu and mesh plink spinlocks and uses just a single one
for everything. Because none of the spinlocks are nested, this
is safe.
It remains to be seen whether or not we should make the sta
flags use atomic bit operations instead, for now though this
is a safe thing and using atomic operations instead will be
very simple using the new static inline functions this patch
introduces for accessing sta->flags.
Since spin_lock_bh() is used with this lock, there shouldn't
be any contention even if aggregation is enabled at around the
same time as both requires frame transmission/reception which
is in a bh context.
