    [PATCH] dc395x: Fix support for highmem

    From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>

    Removes the page_to_virt and maps sg lists dynamically.
    This makes the driver work with highmem pages.

There was a rather silly and embarrassing typo in the sh _syscall6().
For the syscall ABI we have the trapa value specified as 0x10 + number
of arguments, this was being set incorrectly in the _syscall6() case
which ended up causing some problems for users.

we could do one thing (see the patch below): i think it would be useful 
to fill up the netlogging skb queue straight at initialization time.  
Especially if netpoll is used for dumping alone, the system might not be 
in a situation to fill up the queue at the point of crash, so better be 
a bit more prepared and keep the pipeline filled.

Add limited retry logic to netpoll_send_skb

Each time we attempt to send, decrement our per-device retry counter.
On every successful send, we reset the counter. 

We delay 50us between attempts with up to 20000 retries for a total of
1 second. After we've exhausted our retries, subsequent failed
attempts will try only once until reset by success.

This fixes an obvious deadlock in the netpoll code.  netpoll_rx takes the
npinfo->rx_lock.  netpoll_rx is also the only caller of arp_reply (through
__netpoll_rx).  As such, it is not necessary to take this lock.

There are many instances of

	skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_*);
	skb->protocol = __constant_htons(ETH_P_*);
and
	skb->protocol = *_type_trans(...);

Most of *_type_trans() are already endian-annotated, so, let's shift
attention on other warnings.

Well I've only found one potential cause for the assertion
failure in tcp_mark_head_lost.  First of all, this can only
occur if cnt > 1 since tp->packets_out is never zero here.
If it did hit zero we'd have much bigger problems.

So cnt is equal to fackets_out - reordering.  Normally
fackets_out is less than packets_out.  The only reason
I've found that might cause fackets_out to exceed packets_out
is if tcp_fragment is called from tcp_retransmit_skb with a
TSO skb and the current MSS is greater than the MSS stored
in the TSO skb.  This might occur as the result of an expiring
dst entry.

In that case, packets_out may decrease (line 1380-1381 in
tcp_output.c).  However, fackets_out is unchanged which means
that it may in fact exceed packets_out.

Previously tcp_retrans_try_collapse was the only place where
packets_out can go down and it takes care of this by decrementing
fackets_out.

So we should make sure that fackets_out is reduced by an appropriate
amount here as well.

We have a chek in there to make sure that the name won't overflow
task_struct.comm[], but it's triggering for scsi with lots of HBAs, only
scsi is using single-threaded workqueues which don't append the "/%d"
anyway.

All too hard.  Just kill the BUG_ON.

Need to use list_for_entry_safe(), as we're removing items during the
traversal.  list_for_each_entry() uses the first ptr also as an iterator, if
you kfree() it slab takes it, might poison it and then you try to use it to
iterate to the next object in list.

Yet another hack due to the fact that libata is the only user of SCSI's
->eh_strategy_handler() hook.

 sata_sx4 directly references sg->length to calculate total_len in
pdc20621_dma_prep().  This is incorrect as dma_map_sg() could have
merged multiple sg's into one and, in such case, sg->length doesn't
reflect true size of the entry.  This patch makes it use
sg_dma_len(sg).

Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to
control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific,
since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not
process specific.

Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global)
bit to the mm layers.
