This turns out to be a genuine bug.  The queue lock and xmit lock are
intentionally taken out of order.  Two things are supposed to prevent
dead-locks from occuring:

1) When we hold the queue_lock we're supposed to only do try_lock on the
tx_lock.

2) We always drop the queue_lock after taking the tx_lock and before doing
anything else.

This path obviously breaks assumption 1) and therefore can lead to ABBA
dead-locks.

I've looked at the history and there seems to be no reason for the lock
to be held at all in dev_watchdog_up.  The lock appeared in day one and
even there it was unnecessary.  In fact, people added __dev_watchdog_up
precisely in order to get around the tx lock there.

The function dev_watchdog_up is already serialised by rtnl_lock since
its only caller dev_activate is always called under it.

So here is a simple patch to remove the tx lock from dev_watchdog_up.
In 2.6.19 we can eliminate the unnecessary __dev_watchdog_up and
replace it with dev_watchdog_up.

[PATCH 6/9] s390: qeth driver fixes [3/6]

From: Frank Pavlic <fpavlic@de.ibm.com>
       	fixed kernel panic caused by qeth driver:
        Using a bonding device qeth driver will realloc
        headroom for every skb coming from the bond device.
        Once this happens qeth frees the original skb and
        set the skb pointer to the new realloced skb.
        Under heavy transmit workload (e.g.UDP streams) through bond
        network device the qdio output queue might get full.
        In this case we return with EBUSY from qeth_send_packet.
        Returning to qeth_hard_start_xmit routine
        the skb address on the stack still points to the old address,
        which has been freed before.
        Returning from qeth_hard_start_xmit with EBUSY results in
        requeuing the skb. In this case it corrupts the qdisc queue
        and results in kernel panic.

I think there is a bug in kmod.c: In __call_usermodehelper(), when

more.

Normally wait_for_helper() take a long time to finish, you may not get

become easier for you to get a oop in khelper.

`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which
requires root, whic is unfortunate.

In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there
either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases.
It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't
put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with
symlinking to it.  It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so
leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case.

I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference
for that; it just seemed reasonable.

Alpha currently fails 'make headers_check' in the 2.6.18-rc kernels.  This
patch fixes it, by moving the existing #ifdef __KERNEL__ in asm/page.h so that
it covers everything that userspace shouldn't so, and by adding asm/compiler.h
to the list of exported files so that its use within asm/byteorder.h is
successful.

[ Note that at least with GCC 4, <linux/compiler.h> doesn't do the forced
  inlining about which there are nasty comments (and a workaround) in
  <asm/compiler.h>, unless you set CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING.  Rather than keep
  the mess you have in <asm/compiler.h> you could perhaps just make sure
  CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING=n is also honoured with GCC3, and make sure it cannot
  be set for Alpha? ]

Again, move stuff which shouldn't be visible inside (mostly already existing)
#ifdef __KERNEL__.

This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also
cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since
the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more
intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.
