Ahmed S. Darwish b7127dfeed [S390] ctc: kmalloc->kzalloc/casting cleanups.
A patch for the CTC / ESCON network driver.  Switch from kmalloc to kzalloc
when appropriate, remove some unnecessary kmalloc casts too.  Since I have no
s390 machine, I didn't compile it but I examined it carefully.

Michael Holzheu 411ed32257 [S390] zfcpdump support.
s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

Horst Hummel 4dfd5c4593 [S390] dasd: Add sysfs attribute status and generate uevents.
This patch adds a sysfs-attribute 'status' to make the DASD device-status
accessible from user-space. In addition, the DASD driver generates an
uevent(CHANGE) for the ccw-device on each device-status change.
This enables user-space applications (e.g. udev) to do related processing.

Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the
console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will

Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that

Martin Schwidefsky bb11e3bdba [S390] Improved oops output.
This patch adds two improvements to the oops output. First it adds an
additional line after the PSW which decodes the different fields of it.
Second a disassembler is added that decodes the instructions surrounding
the faulting PSW. The output of a test oops now looks like this:

Jens Axboe 5044eed488 cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bug
There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL.  One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41

Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.

Read the more complete analysis at:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57

This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should
potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).

The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the
rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

Dan Williams c43c49bd61 usb-net/pegasus: fix pegasus carrier detection
Broken by 4a1728a28a which switched the
return semantics of read_mii_word() but didn't fix usage of
read_mii_word() to conform to the new semantics.

Setting carrier to off based on the NO_CARRIER flag is also incorrect as
that flag only triggers on TX failure and therefore isn't correct when
no frames are being transmitted.  Since there is already a 2*HZ MII
carrier check going on, defer to that.

Add a TRUST_LINK_STATUS feature flag for adapters where the LINK_STATUS
flag is actually correct, and use that rather than the NO_CARRIER flag.

Neil Horman b748d9e3b8 sis900: Allocate rx replacement buffer before rx operation
The sis900 driver appears to have a bug in which the receive routine
passes the skbuff holding the received frame to the network stack before
refilling the buffer in the rx ring.  If a new skbuff cannot be allocated, the
driver simply leaves a hole in the rx ring, which causes the driver to stop
receiving frames and become non-recoverable without an rmmod/insmod according to
reporters.  This patch reverses that order, attempting to allocate a replacement
buffer first, and receiving the new frame only if one can be allocated.  If no
skbuff can be allocated, the current skbuf in the rx ring is recycled, dropping
the current frame, but keeping the NIC operational.

Andrea Righi d91c088b39 [netdrvr] depca: handle platform_device_add() failure
The following patch fixes a kernel bug in depca_platform_probe().

We don't use a dynamic pointer for pldev->dev.platform_data, so it seems
that the correct way to proceed if platform_device_add(pldev) fails is
to explicitly set the pldev->dev.platform_data pointer to NULL, before
calling the platform_device_put(pldev), or it will be kfree'ed by
platform_device_release().

Jiri Kosina 4bf3631cdb 8250: fix possible deadlock between serial8250_handle_port() and serial8250_interrupt()
Commit 40b36daa introduced possibility that serial8250_backup_timeout() ->
serial8250_handle_port() locks port.lock without disabling irqs, thus
allowing deadlock against interrupt handler (port.lock is acquired in
serial8250_interrupt()).

Spotted by lockdep.
