      [netdrvr] Drivers should not set IFF_* flag themselves · c16d1185
      由 Wang Chen 提交于 
      Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag.
It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc,
it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti.
In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it.
So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags.

This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send
to specific driver maintainers.

      wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat. · ccc58057
      由 David S. Miller 提交于 
      Three major portions to this change:

1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
   and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines.

2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused.

3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to
   size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether
   IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not.

4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack
   bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines
   modified in #3.  Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are
   replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info).

With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

      [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock · 932ff279
      由 Herbert Xu 提交于 
      Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.
