2009-04-15gianfar: stop send queue before resetting gianfarMarkus Brunner
After a transmit timed out, the reset task will be called, which will free the allocated resources(stop_gfar). If gfar_poll will be called before the resources get allocated again gfar_clean_tx_ring will call dev_kfree_skb_any(NULL).

2009-04-14ixgbe: fix tx queue indexWu Fengguang
Don't do the num_tx_queues based masking on calculating tx queue index. 1) num_tx_queues is not always power-of-2, because it also depends on the online cpu numbers. So the masking could be a performance bug on a 6 cpu system. 2) queue_mapping will be limited by real_num_tx_queues=num_tx_queues in the generic netdev function set_cur_queue_map(). So the bound limiting here is not necessary. Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This reverts commit 244f46ae6e9e18f6fc0be7d1f49febde4762c34b. Alan Cox did the research, and just like the other radio protocols zero-length frames have meaning because at the top level ROSE is X.25 PLP. So this zero-length filtering is invalid. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-04-14sfc: Use correct macro to set event bitfieldBen Hutchings
falcon_sim_phy_event() used EFX_OWORD_FIELD, which operates on bitfields in 128-bit values, on an event, which is a 64-bit value. This should be harmless - these macros always use little-endian ordering, so it would read and write back the following 8 bytes unchanged - but it is obviously wrong.

2009-04-14skge: fix occasional BUG during MTU changeMichal Schmidt
The BUG_ON(skge->tx_ring.to_use != skge->tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up() was sometimes observed when setting MTU. skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via skge_tx_clean(). Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable(). The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.

2009-04-13gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN pathHerbert Xu
Hi: gro: Normalise skb before bypassing GRO on netpoll VLAN path When we detect netpoll RX on the GRO VLAN path we bail out and call the normal VLAN receive handler. However, the packet needs to be normalised by calling eth_type_trans since that's what the normal path expects (normally the GRO path does the fixup).

2009-04-13phylib: Allow early-out in phy_changeAnatolij Gustschin
Marvell 88E1121R Dual PHY device can be hardware-configured to use shared interrupt pin for both PHY ports. For such PHY configurations using shared PHY interrupt phy_interrupt() handler will also schedule a work for PHY port which didn't cause an interrupt. This patch adds a possibility for PHY drivers to provide did_interrupt() function which reports if the PHY (or a PHY port in a multi-PHY device) generated an interrupt. This function is called in phy_change() as phy_change() shouldn't proceed if it is invoked for a PHY which didn't cause an interrupt. So check for interrupt originator in phy_change() to allow early-out. Signed-off-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-04-13PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resumeRafael J. Wysocki
There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

2009-04-13add some long-missing capabilities to fs_maskSerge E. Hallyn
When POSIX capabilities were introduced during the 2.1 Linux cycle, the fs mask, which represents the capabilities which having fsuid==0 is supposed to grant, did not include CAP_MKNOD and CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE. However, before capabilities the privilege to call these did in fact depend upon fsuid==0. This patch introduces those capabilities into the fsmask, restoring the old behavior. See the thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/157 for reference. Note that if this fix is deemed valid, then earlier kernel versions (2.4 and 2.2) ought to be fixed too.
