IMHO the current fix to the problem (in_flight underflow in reno)
is incorrect.  it treats the symptons but ignores the problem. the
problem is timing out packets other than the head packet when we
don't have sack. i try to explain (sorry if explaining the obvious).

with sack, scanning the retransmit queue for timed out packets is
fine because we know which packets in our retransmit queue have been
acked by the receiver.

without sack, we know only how many packets in our retransmit queue the
receiver has acknowledged, but no idea which packets.

think of a "typical" slow-start overshoot case, where for example
every third packet in a window get lost because a router buffer gets
full.

with sack, we check for timeouts on those every third packet (as the
rest have been sacked). the packet counting works out and if there
is no reordering, we'll retransmit exactly the packets that were 
lost.

without sack, however, we check for timeout on every packet and end up
retransmitting consecutive packets in the retransmit queue. in our
slow-start example, 2/3 of those retransmissions are unnecessary. these
unnecessary retransmissions eat the congestion window and evetually
prevent fast recovery from continuing, if enough packets were lost.

A soft lockup existed in the handling of ack vector records.
Specifically, when a tail of the list of ack vector records was
removed, it was possible to end up iterating infinitely on an element
of the tail.

People have been reporting that PPP connections over ptys, such as
used with PPTP, will hang randomly when transferring large amounts of
data, for instance in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530.
I have managed to reproduce the problem, and the patch below fixes the
actual cause.

The problem is not in fact in ppp_async.c but in n_tty.c.  What
happens is that when pptp reads from the pty, we call read_chan() in
drivers/char/n_tty.c on the master side of the pty.  That copies all
the characters out of its buffer to userspace and then calls
check_unthrottle(), which calls the pty unthrottle routine, which
calls tty_wakeup on the slave side, which calls ppp_asynctty_wakeup,
which calls tasklet_schedule.  So far so good.  Since we are in
process context, the tasklet runs immediately and calls
ppp_async_process(), which calls ppp_async_push, which calls the
tty->driver->write function to send some more output.

However, tty->driver->write() returns zero, because the master
tty->receive_room is still zero.  We haven't returned from
check_unthrottle() yet, and read_chan() only updates tty->receive_room
_after_ calling check_unthrottle.  That means that the driver->write
call in ppp_async_process() returns 0.  That would be fine if we were
going to get a subsequent wakeup call, but we aren't (we just had it,
and the buffer is now empty).

The solution is for n_tty.c to update tty->receive_room _before_
calling the driver unthrottle routine.  The patch below does this.
With this patch I was able to transfer a 900MB file over a PPTP
connection (taking about 25 minutes), whereas without the patch the
connection would always stall in under a minute.

According to Intel ICH spec, there are several rules that Base Address
should be programmed before IOSE  (PCICMD register ) enabled.

For example ICH7:

12.1.3  SATA : the base address register for the bus master register
               should be programmed before this bit is set.

11.1.3:  PCICMD (USB): The base address register for USB should be
                       programmed before this bit is set.
....

To make sure kernel code follow this rule , and prevent unnecessary

Apply some alterations to the memory barrier document that I worked out
with Paul McKenney of IBM, plus some of the alterations suggested by Alan
Stern.

The following changes were made:

 (*) One of the examples given for what can happen with overlapping memory
     barriers was wrong.

 (*) The description of general memory barriers said that a general barrier is
     a combination of a read barrier and a write barrier.  This isn't entirely
     true: it implies both, but is more than a combination of both.

 (*) The first example in the "SMP Barrier Pairing" section was wrong: the
     loads around the read barrier need to touch the memory locations in the
     opposite order to the stores around the write barrier.

 (*) Added a note to make explicit that the loads should be in reverse order to
     the stores.

 (*) Adjusted the diagrams in the "Examples Of Memory Barrier Sequences"
     section to make them clearer.  Added a couple of diagrams to make it more
     clear as to how it could go wrong without the barrier.

 (*) Added a section on memory speculation.

 (*) Dropped any references to memory allocation routines doing memory
     barriers.  They may do sometimes, but it can't be relied on.  This may be
     worthy of further documentation later.

 (*) Made the fact that a LOCK followed by an UNLOCK should not be considered a
     full memory barrier more explicit and gave an example.

hypervisor call is performed on cpus other than the boot
cpu.

PCI config space accesses to present PCI slots works just
fine.

controller node and record all present device IDs into
a small hash table.

Avoid the hypervisor call for any PCI config space access
attempt for a device not recorded in the hash table.

Get rid of all the SUN_570X logic and instead:

   timeouts.

2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no
   firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead
   just report it the first time we notice this condition.

3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device
   is onboard by setting TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT.

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.

To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held.  This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API.  So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation.  Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.

This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.
