535297a6ae vhost: fix error handling in vring ioctls
Stanse found a locking problem in vhost_set_vring:
several returns from VHOST_SET_VRING_KICK, VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL,
VHOST_SET_VRING_ERR with the vq->mutex held.
Fix these up.

39286fa41a vhost-net: restart tx poll on sk_sndbuf full
guest to remote communication with vhost net sometimes stops until
guest driver is restarted. This happens when we get guest kick precisely
when the backend send queue is full, as a result handle_tx() returns without
polling backend. This patch fixes this by restarting tx poll on this condition.

2ea186ae53 ixgbe: move TC_PRIO_CONTROL check into ixgbe_select_queue()
Move TC_PRIO_CONTROL check and queue remapping into
ixgbe_select_queue().  Remapping queues after the qdisc
can result in the wrong qdisc queue being stopped with
netif_stop_subqueue().  Even if this is resolved and the
correct queue is stopped it can result in a queue being
blocked by TC_PRIO_CONTROL frames uneccesarily.  Moving
this into the select_queue routine maintains alignment
between tx_rings and qdisc queues.

3729d50212 rtnetlink: support specifying device flags on device creation
commit e8469ed959c373c2ff9e6f488aa5a14971aebe1f
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
Date:   Tue Feb 23 20:41:30 2010 +0100

Support specifying the initial device flags when creating a device though
rtnl_link. Devices allocated by rtnl_create_link() are marked as INITIALIZING
in order to surpress netlink registration notifications. To complete setup,
rtnl_configure_link() must be called, which performs the device flag changes
and invokes the deferred notifiers if everything went well.

Two examples:

# add macvlan to eth0
#
$ ip link add link eth0 up allmulticast on type macvlan

9e3bd91908 b43: fall back gracefully to PIO mode after fatal DMA errors
This makes the b43 driver just automatically fall back to PIO mode when
DMA doesn't work.

The driver already told the user to do it, so rather than have the user
reload the module with a new flag, just make the driver do it
automatically. We keep the message as an indication that something is
wrong, but now just automatically fall back to the hopefully working PIO
case.

7bfbae10dc ath9k: disable RIFS search for AR91xx based chips
While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS
frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals.
This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based
chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions.

This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively
disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets.

c85a261896 ixgbe: Do not allocate too many netdev txqueues
Instead of allocating 128 struct netdev_queue per device, use the
minimum value between 128 and the number of possible txq's, to
reduce ram usage and "tc -s -d class shod dev .." output.

This patch fixes Eric Dumazet's patch to set the TX queues to
the correct minimum.

a922afb64d ixgbe: do not stop tx queues in ixgbe_set_tso
Disabling TSO can cause the dev_watchdog timer to be triggered because
when TSO is disabled netif_tx_stop_all_queues is called.  If the watchdog
timer fires while the queues are stopped and traffic has not recently been
sent on a paticular queue this is falsly identified as a hang and
ndo_tx_timeout() is called.  This is ocossionally seen during testing.

This removes the netif_tx_stop_all_queues() it is not needed.  The scheduler
submits skb's with dev_hard_start_xmit(), this checks if netif_needs_gso and
if so it calls dev_gso_segment.  Disabling TSO will cause dev_hard_start_xmit()
to do the gso processing.   However ixgbe does not use the features flags to
determine if it needs to use tso or not instead it uses skb->gso_size so
ixgbe will process these frames correctly regardless of the netdev features
flag.
