3a2c892daa spidernet: checksum and ethtool
It doesn't look like spidernet hardware can really checksum all protocols,
the code looks like it does IPV4 only.  If so, it should use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM
instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

The driver doesn't need it's own get/set for ethtool tx csum, and it
should use the standard ethtool_op_get_link.

128c6e2e51 spidernet: turn off descriptor chain end interrupt.
At some point, the transmit descriptor chain end interrupt (TXDCEINT)
was turned on. This is a mistake; and it damages small packet
transmit performance, as it results in a huge storm of interrupts.
Turn it off.

c3d1182a53 spidernet: silence the ramfull messages
Although the previous patch resolved issues with hangs when the
RX ram full interrupt is encountered, there are still situations
where lots of RX ramfull interrupts arrive, resulting in a noisy
log in syslog. There is no need for this.

2bf27a0d49 spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring
The terminated RX ring will cause trouble during the RX ram full
conditions, leading to a hung driver, as the hardware can't find
the next descr.  There is no real reason to terminate the RX ring;
it doesn't make the operation any smooother, and it does
require an extra sync. So don't do it.

4c4bd5a97a spidernet: Cure RX ram full bug
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel
is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows
a detailed description of the bug and the fix.

As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
will be set in GHIINT1STS).  When te RX ram full condition occurs,
a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
This section describes the special handling for this condition.

When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become
empty.

A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:

net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
net eth1: Chain head is at 255
net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000

Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.

The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.

This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
operations there.  Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

- Always flush in the i386 case, not only when there are deferred pages.

These are both brute-force inefficient fixes, to be improved
next release cycle.

The changes to i386 are a little more extensive than strictly
needed (some dead code added), but it is more similar to the x86-64 version
now and the dead code will be used soon.

The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC.  So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.

Boom.

408f22e81e SCTP: update sctp_getsockopt helpers to allow oversized buffers
I noted the other day while looking at a bug that was ostensibly
in some perl networking library, that we strictly avoid allowing getsockopt
operations to complete if we pass in oversized buffers.  This seems to make
libraries like Perl::NET malfunction since it seems to allocate oversized
buffers for use in several operations.  It also seems to be out of line with
the way udp, tcp and ip getsockopt routines handle buffer input (since the
*optlen pointer in both an input and an output and gets set to the length
of the data that we copy into the buffer).  This patch brings our getsockopt
helpers into line with other protocols, and allows us to accept oversized
buffers for our getsockopt operations.  Tested by me with good results.

sync thread fails to start properly.  The result is that the kernel
will report a running daemon when their actuall is none.

If you issue the following commands:

1. ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface bla
2. ipvsadm -L --daemon
3. ipvsadm --stop-daemon master

Assuming that bla is not an actual interface, step 2 should return no
data, but instead returns:

$ ipvsadm -L --daemon
master sync daemon (mcast=bla, syncid=0)

281216177a [XFRM]: Fix MTU calculation for non-ESP SAs
My IPsec MTU optimization patch introduced a regression in MTU calculation
for non-ESP SAs, the SA's header_len needs to be subtracted from the MTU if
the transform doesn't provide a ->get_mtu() function.

41e904dee2 [POWERPC] Fix snd-powermac refcounting bugs
The old snd-powermac driver has some serious refcounting issues when
initialisation fails, which is the case on all new machines with
a layout-id since those are handled by the new snd-aoa driver.

Some of those bugs seem to have been under the radar for some time
(like double pci_dev_put), but one was actually added in 2.6.22 with
Stephen attempt at teaching refcounting to the driver which didn't
do it at all.

This patch fixes both, thus removing all sort of kref errors that
would happen if that driver gets loaded on a G5 machine or a recent
PowerBook due to OF nodes left around with a 0 refcount.

As noted by Carl:

This fixes the LTP test nanosleep03 - the current kernel causes
-ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK to reach user space rather than the correct
-EINTR.

fa490cfd15 Fix possible runqueue lock starvation in wait_task_inactive()
Miklos Szeredi reported very long pauses (several seconds, sometimes
more) on his T60 (with a Core2Duo) which he managed to track down to
wait_task_inactive()'s open-coded busy-loop.

He observed that an interrupt on one core tries to acquire the
runqueue-lock but does not succeed in doing so for a very long time -
while wait_task_inactive() on the other core loops waiting for the first
core to deschedule a task (which it wont do while spinning in an
interrupt handler).

This rewrites wait_task_inactive() to do all its waiting optimistically
without any locks taken at all, and then just double-check the end
result with the proper runqueue lock held over just a very short
section.  If there were races in the optimistic wait, of a preemption
event scheduled the process away, we simply re-synchronize, and start
over.

So the code now looks like this:

	repeat:
		/* Unlocked, optimistic looping! */
		rq = task_rq(p);
		while (task_running(rq, p))
			cpu_relax();

		/* Get the *real* values */
		rq = task_rq_lock(p, &flags);
		running = task_running(rq, p);
		array = p->array;
		task_rq_unlock(rq, &flags);

		/* Check them.. */
		if (unlikely(running)) {
			cpu_relax();
			goto repeat;
		}

		/* Preempted away? Yield if so.. */
		if (unlikely(array)) {
			yield();
			goto repeat;
		}

Basically, that first "while()" loop is done entirely without any
locking at all (and doesn't check for the case where the target process
might have been preempted away), and so it's possibly "incorrect", but
we don't really care.  Both the runqueue used, and the "task_running()"
check might be the wrong tests, but they won't oops - they just mean
that we could possibly get the wrong results due to lack of locking and
exit the loop early in the case of a race condition.

So once we've exited the loop, we then get the proper (and careful) rq
lock, and check the running/runnable state _safely_.  And if it turns
out that our quick-and-dirty and unsafe loop was wrong after all, we
just go back and try it all again.

(The patch also adds a lot of comments, which is the actual bulk of it
all, to make it more obvious why we can do these things without holding
the locks).

Thanks to Miklos for all the testing and tracking it down.

a0f98a1cb7 sched: fix SysRq-N (normalize RT tasks)
Gene Heskett reported the following problem while testing CFS: SysRq-N
is not always effective in normalizing tasks back to SCHED_OTHER.

The reason for that turns out to be the following bug:

 - normalize_rt_tasks() uses for_each_process() to iterate through all
   tasks in the system.  The problem is, this method does not iterate
   through all tasks, it iterates through all thread groups.

The proper mechanism to enumerate over all threads is to use a
do_each_thread() + while_each_thread() loop.

bd197234b0 Revert "futex_requeue_pi optimization"
This reverts commit d0aa7a70bf.

It not only introduced user space visible changes to the futex syscall,
it is also non-functional and there is no way to fix it proper before
the 2.6.22 release.

The breakage report ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/5/12/17 ) went
unanswered, and unfortunately it turned out that the concept is not
feasible at all.  It violates the rtmutex semantics badly by introducing
a virtual owner, which hacks around the coupling of the user-space
pi_futex and the kernel internal rt_mutex representation.

At the moment the only safe option is to remove it fully as it contains
user-space visible changes to broken kernel code, which we do not want
to expose in the 2.6.22 release.

The patch reverts the original patch mostly 1:1, but contains a couple
of trivial manual cleanups which were necessary due to patches, which
touched the same area of code later.

Verified against the glibc tests and my own PI futex tests.
