The comments concerning how the pcnet32 ethernet device driver selects
the MAC addr to use are incorrect. A recent patch (in the last 3 months)
changed how the code worked, but did not change the comments.
Side comment: the new behaviour is good; I've got a pcnet32 card which
powers up with garbage in the CSR's, and a good MAC addr in the PROM.

The previous patch for Tavor broke MemFree logic.
The driver should perform limit check only for Tavor. For MemFree,
the check is incorrect, since ds (WQE stride) is always a power-of-2
(although the max_desc_size may not be).
In Tavor, however, WQE stride and desc_size are the same, and are not
necessarily power-of-2. The check was really for the WQE stride (and
it Tavor, we use max_desc_size for the stride).

send_sigqueue() checks PF_EXITING, then locks p->sighand->siglock. This is

don't think we need the fix for -stable tree.

This was needed to avoid taking tasklist_lock. Since this lock is

This also means that SIGSTOP or sig_kernel_coredump() signal can't
be delivered to pgrp/session reliably.
With this patch copy_process() returns -ERESTARTNOINTR when it
detects a pending signal, fork() will be restarted transparently
after handling the signals.
This patch also deletes now unneeded "group_stop_count > 0" check,
copy_process() can no longer succeed while group stop in progress.

This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in
kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit. It is also a
preparation for the further tref/pids rework.
This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct'
instead.
We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another
thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature
free_pidmap(->tgid) call.
Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID).
Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.

This patch moves __unhash_process() call from realease_task() to
__exit_signal(), so __detach_pid() is called with ->siglock held.
This means we don't need tasklist_lock to iterate over thread group anymore:
copy_process() was already changed to do attach_pid()
under ->siglock.
Eric's "pidhash-kill-switch_exec_pids.patch" from -mm
changed de_thread() so it doesn't touch PIDTYPE_TGID.
NOTE: de_thread() still needs some attention. It still changes task->pid
lockless. Taking ->sighand.siglock here allows to do more tasklist_lock
removals.
