252aa9d94a Revert "NET: Fix locking issues in PPP, 6pack, mkiss and strip line disciplines."
This reverts commit adeab1afb7.

As Alan Cox explained, the TTY layer changes that went recently
to get rid of the tty->low_latency stuff fixes this already,
and even for -stable it's the ->low_latency changes that should
go in to fix this, rather than this patch.

adeab1afb7 NET: Fix locking issues in PPP, 6pack, mkiss and strip line disciplines.
Guido Trentalancia reports:

I am trying to use the kiss driver in the Linux kernel that is being
shipped with Fedora 10 but unfortunately I get the following oops:

mkiss: AX.25 Multikiss, Hans Albas PE1AYX
mkiss: ax0: crc mode is auto.

mkiss: ax0: Trying crc-smack
mkiss: ax0: Trying crc-flexnet

The issue was, that the locking code in mkiss was assuming it was only
ever being called in process or bh context.  Fixed by converting the
involved locking code to use irq-safe locks.

Review of other networking line disciplines shows that 6pack, both sync
and async PPP and STRIP have similar issues.  The ppp_async one is the
most interesting one as it sorts out half of the issue as far back as
2004 in commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=2996d8deaeddd01820691a872550dc0cfba0c37d

6ed106549d net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functions
This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.

Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.

Fix up remaining drivers returning a magic or an errno value from their
ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed in the first pass:

- isdn_net: missed conversion
- bpqether: missed conversion: skb is freed, so return NETDEV_TX_OK
- hp100: intention appears to be to resubmit skb once resources are
  available, but due to no queue handling it is dropped for now.

This is a trivial patch against the hdlcdrv module that fixes its CRC

each packet rather than being appended to the end.

I've tested this with 2.6.8 and 2.6.10-rc1, but hdlcdrv hasn't changed
much recently so it should work with many other kernel versions.

a352def21a tty: Ldisc revamp
Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

e8a0464cc9 netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

e308a5d806 netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection.
Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers.

Use them to protect operations that operate on or read
the network device unicast and multicast address lists.

Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to
block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and
->set_multicast_list() methods.

c773e847ea netdev: Move _xmit_lock and xmit_lock_owner into netdev_queue.
Accesses are mostly structured such that when there are multiple TX
queues the code transformations will be a little bit simpler.

4bb073c0e3 net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.
