Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding
tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock
might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing.

Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an
interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at
triggering it ;)

Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it
be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.

  sis900: phy for FoxCon motherboard
  dl2k: use DMA_48BIT_MASK constant
  phy: mdiobus_register(): initialize all phy_map entries
  sky2: ifdown kills irq mask

661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset.  The patch adds
an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver.

The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from
http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem,
because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen.

Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a
LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing
retransmits.  There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms,
and it made Netrek suck.  I can provide further test data.

Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise
100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation.

I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description
field is a guess.

This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2

I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be
changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.

Fix races in in destroying various objects.  If a destroy routine
waits for an object to become free by doing

	wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount));
	/* now clean up and destroy the object */

and another place drops a reference to the object by doing

	if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount))
		wake_up(&obj->wait);

then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final
freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the
wake_up().  And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be
called on part of the already-freed object.

Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old
integers protected by a spinlock.  This makes it possible to do the
decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears
as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue.

While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being
cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it.  So
there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's
perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.

Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch

Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB

The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.

If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

AK: I redid the original patch. Thanks also to Jan Beulich for
spotting some mistakes.

Playing with NMI watchdog on x86_64, I discovered that it didn't
do what I expected.  It always panic-ed, even when it didn't
happen from interrupt context.  This patch solves that
problem for me.  Also, in this case, do_exit() will be called
with interrupts disabled, I believe.  Would it be wise to also
call local_irq_enable() after nmi_exit()?
[Yes I added it -AK]

Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic
because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt
when do_exit() is called from die_nmi().  If we add nmi_exit() to
the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally")
it seems to solve this problem.  The following small program
can be used to trigger the NMI watchdog to reproduce this:
  main ()
  {
        iopl(3);
        for (;;) asm("cli");
  }

I noticed this when poking around in this area.

The oops_begin() function in x86_64 would only conditionally claim
the die_lock if the call is nested, but oops_end() would always
release the spinlock. This patch adds a nest count for the die lock
so that the release of the lock is only done on the final oops_end().

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets
re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device.  The patch
corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided.  Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up.  The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices.  The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.
