d4274b51a5 [PPP]: handle kmalloc failures and convert to using kzalloc
The PPP code contains two kmalloc()s followed by memset()s without
handling a possible memory allocation failure.  (Suggested by Joe
Perches).

And furthermore, conversions from kmalloc+memset to kzalloc.

2f8af120a1 [BNX2]: Fix tx race condition.
Fix a subtle race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int()
similar to the one in tg3 discovered by Herbert Xu:

CPU0					CPU1
bnx2_start_xmit()
	if (tx_ring_full) {
		tx_lock
					bnx2_tx()
						if (!netif_queue_stopped)
		netif_stop_queue()
		if (!tx_ring_full)
						update_tx_ring
			netif_wake_queue()
		tx_unlock
	}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().

5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.

6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

unacceptable interference with the TFT panel, so disable it.  Also
delete the lpd270 versions of the SMC_{in,out}[bl]() macros, as they

1b2a720506 [TG3]: Fix tx race condition
Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:

CPU0					CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
	if (tx_ring_full) {
		tx_lock
					tg3_tx()
						if (!netif_queue_stopped)
		netif_stop_queue()
		if (!tx_ring_full)
						update_tx_ring 
			netif_wake_queue()
		tx_unlock
	}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening

when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.

5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

6. Update version to 3.65.

	plpar_hcall9:		9 arguments 9 returns

There are only 2 cases in the kernel that need plpar_hcall9, hopefully
we can keep it that way.

Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked

This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small

challenge response frame from a workqueue entry.

I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to
authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but

22e1170310 [PATCH] sky2: optimize receive restart
When the driver handles multiple packets per NAPI poll, it is
better to reload the receive ring, then tell the hardware. Otherwise,
under packet storm with flow control, the driver/hardware will degrade
down to one packet getting through per pause-exchange.

Likewise on transmit, don't wakeup until a little more than minimum
ring space is available.

9c6c6795ed [IRDA]: fix drivers/net/irda/ali-ircc.c:ali_ircc_init()
The Coverity checker spotted, that from the changes from commit 
898b1d16f8 the
       if (ret)
               platform_driver_unregister(&ali_ircc_driver);
was dead code.

This patch changes this function to what seems to have been the 
intention.

bce305f4fe [PATCH] 8139too deadlock fix
> stack backtrace:

>  [<f9099d31>] rtl8139_start_xmit+0xd9/0xff [8139too]
>  [<c11ad5ea>] netpoll_send_skb+0x98/0xea

This seems to be a real deadlock...

So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty
but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and
does

      spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock);

which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the
xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this:
  [<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32
  [<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1
  [<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a
  [<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0
  [<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd

Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled
irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held.

The patch below turns this into a irqsave/irqrestore pair so that
interrupts don't get enabled unconditionally.
