Mark Haverkamp 56b5871223 [SCSI] aacraid: remove sparse warnings
This patch addresses the sparse -Wbitwise warnings that Christoph wanted
me to eliminate.  This mostly consisted of making data structure
elements of hardware associated structures the __le* equivalent.
Although there were a couple places where there was mixing of cpu and le
variable math.  These changes have been tested on both an x86 and ppc
machine running bonnie++.  The usage of the LE32_ALL_ONES macro has been
eliminated.

Tejun Heo a1bf9d1d92 [SCSI] make scsi_queue_insert() use blk_requeue_request()
scsi_queue_insert() used to use blk_insert_request() for requeueing
requests.  This depends on the unobvious behavior of
blk_insert_request() setting REQ_SPECIAL and REQ_SOFTBARRIER when
requeueing.  This patch makes scsi_queue_insert() use
blk_requeue_request().  As REQ_SPECIAL means special requests and
REQ_SOFTBARRIER is automatically handled by blk layer now, no flag
needs to be set.

Note that scsi_queue_insert() now calls scsi_run_queue() itself, and
the prototype of the function is added right above
scsi_queue_insert().  This is temporary, as later requeue path
consolidation patchset removes scsi_queue_insert().  By adding
temporary prototype, we can do away with unnecessarily moving
functions.

Paul Mackerras 6c37a88c5b [PATCH] ppc32: don't call progress functions after boot
On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is
used to show progress through the boot.  These functions are usually
in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are
freed.  Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system
is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the
progress function can be called after boot.  The simple fix is to set
the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed,
and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check
whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

Tommy S. Christensen aa1c6a6f7f [NETLINK]: Defer socket destruction a bit
In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.

However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.

Tommy S. Christensen db61ecc335 [NETLINK]: Fix race with recvmsg().
This bug causes:

assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122)

What's happening is that:

1) The skb is sent to socket 1.
2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb.
   Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the
   skb is still referenced.
3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2.

This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved
out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op
in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg.

Herbert Xu 2fdba6b085 [IPV4/IPV6] Ensure all frag_list members have NULL sk
Having frag_list members which holds wmem of an sk leads to nightmares
with partially cloned frag skb's.  The reason is that once you unleash
a skb with a frag_list that has individual sk ownerships into the stack
you can never undo those ownerships safely as they may have been cloned
by things like netfilter.  Since we have to undo them in order to make
skb_linearize happy this approach leads to a dead-end.

So let's go the other way and make this an invariant:

	For any skb on a frag_list, skb->sk must be NULL.

That is, the socket ownership always belongs to the head skb.
It turns out that the implementation is actually pretty simple.

The above invariant is actually violated in the following patch
for a short duration inside ip_fragment.  This is OK because the
offending frag_list member is either destroyed at the end of the
slow path without being sent anywhere, or it is detached from
the frag_list before being sent.

Evgeniy Polyakov d48102007d [XFRM]: skb_cow_data() does not set proper owner for new skbs.
It looks like skb_cow_data() does not set 
proper owner for newly created skb.

If we have several fragments for skb and some of them
are shared(?) or cloned (like in async IPsec) there 
might be a situation when we require recreating skb and 
thus using skb_copy() for it.
Newly created skb has neither a destructor nor a socket
assotiated with it, which must be copied from the old skb.
As far as I can see, current code sets destructor and socket
for the first one skb only and uses truesize of the first skb
only to increment sk_wmem_alloc value.

If above "analysis" is correct then attached patch fixes that.

David S. Miller 59e6b43432 [TG3]: Refine DMA boundary setting.
Extract DMA boundary bit selection into a seperate
function, tg3_calc_dma_bndry().  Call this from
tg3_test_dma().

Make DMA test more reliable by using no DMA boundry
setting during the test.  If the test passes, then
use the setting we selected before the test.

David S. Miller 15f9850d3c [TG3]: Set minimal hw interrupt mitigation.
Even though we do software interrupt mitigation
via NAPI, it still helps to have some minimal
hw assisted mitigation.

This helps, particularly, on systems where register
I/O overhead is much greater than the CPU horsepower.

For example, it helps on NUMA systems.  In such cases
the PIO overhead to disable interrupts for NAPI accounts
for the majority of the packet processing cost.  The
CPU is fast enough such that only a single packet is
processed by each NAPI poll call.

Thanks to Michael Chan for reviewing this patch.

David S. Miller fac9b83ea7 [TG3]: Add tagged status support.
When supported, use the TAGGED interrupt processing support
the chip provides.  In this mode, instead of a "on/off" binary
semaphore, an incrementing tag scheme is used to ACK interrupts.

All MSI supporting chips support TAGGED mode, so the tg3_msi()
interrupt handler uses it unconditionally.  This invariant is
verified when MSI support is tested.

Since we can invoke tg3_poll() multiple times per interrupt under
high packet load, we fetch a new copy of the tag value in the
status block right before we actually do the work.

Also, because the tagged status tells the chip exactly which
work we have processed, we can make two optimizations:

1) tg3_restart_ints() need not check tg3_has_work()
2) the tg3_timer() need not poke the chip 10 times per
   second to keep from losing interrupt events

Based upon valuable feedback from Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>
