 1. flood ping from other machine

 2. run below script
    while [ 1 ]; do ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off;
    sleep 3;ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on; sleep 4; done;

You can see oops in one hour.

The reason is fec_restart clear BD but NAPI may use it.
The solution is disable NAPI and stop xmit when reset BD.
disable NAPI may sleep, so fec_restart can't be call in
atomic context.

The driver and firmware sync up through SYNC messages, and the
firmware's affirmative reply to these SYNC messages appears to be the
"Reset" indication received via the status interrupt endpoint.  Thus the
driver needs the status interrupt endpoint always active so that the
Reset indication can be received even if the netdev is closed, which is
the case right after device insertion.

If the Reset indication is not received by the driver, it continues
sending SYNC messages to the firmware, which crashes about 10 seconds
later and the device stops responding.

Some drivers (sierra_net) need the status interrupt URB
active even when the device is closed, because they receive
custom indications from firmware.  Add functions to refcount
the status interrupt URB submit/kill operation so that
sub-drivers and the generic driver don't fight over whether
the status interrupt URB is active or not.

A sub-driver can call usbnet_status_start() at any time, but
the URB is only submitted the first time the function is
called.  Likewise, when the sub-driver is done with the URB,
it calls usbnet_status_stop() but the URB is only killed when
all users have stopped it.  The URB is still killed and
re-submitted for suspend/resume, as before, with the same
refcount it had at suspend.

While cleaning RX queues, the CQ DB may be rung several times (with rearm)
while waiting for the flush compl. Each CQ-notify with rearm can result in
an event. The EQ may get full resulting in a HW error.

Fix this by not re-arming the CQ while notifying a valid completion.
Also, there's no need to wait for 1ms after destroying RXQ, as the code in

  order to avoid clashes with the other Exynos updates.

 "These patches are all for Renesas shmobile, and depend on the earlier

  for pinctrl (using the new subsystem) and for clocks (not yet using
  the common clock subsystem).  The latter will have to get converted in
  one of the upcoming releases, but shmobile is not ready for that yet.

  The series also contains Renesas shmobile board changes, adding one
  board file for each of the three new SoCs.  These boards are using a
  mix of classic and device-tree based probing, as there is still a lot
  of infrastructure in shmobile that has not been converted to DT yet.

Searching for PPC_EFIKA results in a segmentation fault, and it's
because get_symbol_prop() returns NULL.

In this case CONFIG_PPC_EFIKA is defined in arch/powerpc/platforms/
52xx/Kconfig, so it won't be parsed if ARCH!=PPC, but menuconfig knows
this symbol when it parses sound/soc/fsl/Kconfig:

    config SND_MPC52xx_SOC_EFIKA
        tristate "SoC AC97 Audio support for bbplan Efika and STAC9766"
        depends on PPC_EFIKA

This bug was introduced by commit bcdedcc1 ("menuconfig: print more
info for symbol without prompts").

modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write
lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters
(they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0).

Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this
optimization will still work fine:

- __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock
  and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation)

- __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal
  with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could
  have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

This change fixes a race condition where a reader might determine it
needs to block, but by the time it acquires the wait_lock the rwsem has
active readers and no queued waiters.

In this situation the reader can run in parallel with the existing
active readers; it does not need to block until the active readers
complete.

Thanks to Peter Hurley for noticing this possible race.

When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read
locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers.  But in
order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the
readers at the head of the queue.  This might take a while if there are
many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the
lock while we're counting.  To that end, we grant the first reader lock
before counting how many more readers are queued.

We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics.

RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be
RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as
nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock.  This doesn't make
sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use
RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case.

Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was
active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new
readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was
available.  We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might
release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we
wake up additional readers.  So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS
value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently
hold any read lock.

This is mostly for cleanup value:

- We don't need several gotos to handle the case where the first
  waiter is a writer. Two simple tests will do (and generate very
  similar code).

- In the remainder of the function, we know the first waiter is a reader,
  so we don't have to double check that. We can use do..while loops
  to iterate over the readers to wake (generates slightly better code).
