Using early netconsole and gianfar driver this error pops up:

  netconsole: timeout waiting for carrier

It appears that net/core/netpoll.c:netpoll_setup() is using
cond_resched() in a loop waiting for a carrier.

The thing is that cond_resched() is a no-op when system_state !=
SYSTEM_RUNNING, and so drivers/net/phy/phy.c's state_queue is never
scheduled, therefore link detection doesn't work.

I belive that the main problem is in cond_resched()[1], but despite
how the cond_resched() story ends, it might be a good idea to call
msleep(1) instead of cond_resched(), as suggested by Andrew Morton.

In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can
become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure
is expressed by the following message in the logs:

WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]()
Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
tx refused but queue active

This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where
a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX,
but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure.

Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent
within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces.

This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers.
The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on
WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as
WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with
all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.

There's a race condition -- started can be set to true
before channel is set due to the way mac80211 callbacks
currently work (->start should probably pass the channel
we would like to have initially). For now simply add a

It seems, the current threshold for root resizing is too aggressive,
and it causes misleading warnings during big updates, but it might be
also responsible for memory problems, especially with non-preempt
configs, when RCU freeing is delayed long after call_rcu.

It should be also mentioned that because of non-atomic changes during
resizing/rebalancing the current lookup algorithm can miss valid leaves
so it's additional argument to shorten these activities even at a cost
of a minimally longer searching.

This patch restores values before the patch "[IPV4]: fib_trie root
node settings", commit: 965ffea4 from
v2.6.22.

According to this and other similar reports average depth is slightly
increased (~0.2), and root nodes are shorter (log 17 vs. 18), but
there is no visible performance decrease. So, until memory handling is
improved or added parameters for changing this individually, this
patch resets to safer defaults.

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.

1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.

2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().

This patch fixes these two issues.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in tun_chr_pool() introduced by commit
33dccbb0 ("tun: Limit amount of queued
packets per device") and triggered by this code:

	int fd;
	struct pollfd pfd;
	fd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR);
	pfd.fd = fd;
	pfd.events = POLLIN | POLLOUT;
	poll(&pfd, 1, 0);

The bit that tells us whether a statistics counter snapshot operation
has completed is located in the GLOBAL register block, not in the
GLOBAL2 register block, so fix up mv88e6xxx_stats_wait() to poll the
right register address.

We might have a race in napi_schedule(), leaving interrupts disabled forever.
I cannot test this patch, I dont have the hardware...

The call resource_size(res) returns res->end - res->start + 1 and thus the
second change is semantics-preserving.  res_size is then used as the second
argument of a call to request_mem_region, and the memory allocated by this
call appears to be the same as what is released in the two calls to
release_mem_region.  So the size argument for those calls should be
resource_size(size) as well.  Alternatively, in the second call to
release_mem_region, the second argument could be res_size, as that variable
has already been initialized at the point of this call.

The problem was found using the following semantic patch:

- (res->end - res->start) + 1

Problem reported by Flavio Leitner <fleitner@redhat.com>:
When setting rx/tx coalescing timeout to the values less than 12 traffic was
stopped.

The FW supports coalescing in 12us granularity, and so value of less then 12
should be interpreted as disabling coalescing

It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister
to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice.  This
is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether
__tun_get(tfile) != NULL.  This however has nothing to do with
whether the device has already been unregistered.  All it tells
you is whether __tun_detach has been called.

This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test
whether the device has been unregistered.

It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing
that it does requires that lock.

Occasionally we may see an interrupt without an event in the eq.
In intx, we currently see the event queue and return IRQ_NONE causing
a the irq to be disabled ("no one cared".) Instead, read the CEV_ISR
reg to check the existence of the interrupt.

This workaround is required for an issue in hardware where noise on the
interconnect between the MAC and PHY could be generated by a lower power
mode (K1) at 1000Mbps resulting in bad packets.  Disable K1 while at 1000
Mbps but keep it enabled for 10/100Mbps and when the cable is disconnected.

Some PHYs may require two reads of the PHY_STATUS register to determine the
link status.  If the PHY is being accessed by another thread it is possible
the first read could timeout and fail.  In this case, put a delay in so
the second read will pick up the correct link status.
