5000 series has issue supporting power save idle mode:

commit	9dc21533

iwlwifi: always support idle mode for agn devices

For agn devices, always support idle mode which help power
consumption in idle unassociated state.

the above changes cause 5000 become not stable when power management is "on"

This driver uses information from the self member of the pci_bus struct to
get information regarding the bridge to which the PCIe device is attached.
Unfortunately, this member is not established on all architectures, which
leads to a kernel oops.

Skipping the entire block that uses the self member to determine the bridge
vendor will only affect RTL8192DE devices as that driver sets the ASPM support
flag differently when the bridge vendor is Intel. If the self member is
available, there is no functional change.

I noticed that you took some time back in late 2009 to 'consolidate' the
split format-strings present in the bonding driver at the time and I've
decided I'm fine to leave them the way they are.  The main point of my
patch was to change the output and I would like to get that included.
Here is my updated patch...

Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v2] bonding: reduce noise during init

Many are using sysfs to configure bonding rather than module options, so
there is no need for bonding to throw this warning in normal cases.

Keep the message around when debugging is enabled as it might be useful
for someone desperate enough to enable debugging, but eliminate it
otherwise.

When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another
(eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary
device or the currently active device.

This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya.  I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.

V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.

I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.

V3: Actually sending the proper patch....

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
flag is set properly

If we find more read/write errors we should record a bad block before

Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

Currently when we get a read error during recovery, we simply abort
the recovery.

Instead, repeat the read in page-sized blocks.
On successful reads, write to the target.
On read errors, record a bad block on the destination,
and only if that fails do we abort the recovery.

As we now retry reads we need to know where we read from.  This was in
bi_sector but that can be changed during a read attempt.
So store the correct from_addr and to_addr in the r10_bio for later
access.

If a read error is detected during recovery the code currently
fails the read device.
This isn't really necessary.  recovery_request_write will signal
a write error to end_sync_write and it will record a write
error on the destination device which will record a bad block
there or kick it from the array.

So just remove this call to do md_error.

If we get a write error during resync/recovery don't fail the device

Signed-off-by: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

We already attempt to fix read errors found during normal IO
and a 'repair' process.
It is best to try to repair them at any time they are found,
so move a test so that during sync and check a read error will
be corrected by over-writing with good data.

If both (all) devices have known bad blocks in the sync section we
won't try to fix even though the bad blocks might not overlap.  That
should be considered later.

Also if we hit a read error during recovery we don't try to fix it.
It would only be possible to fix if there were at least three copies
of data, which is not very common with RAID10.  But it should still
be considered later.
