      ehea: fix race condition · 2f69ae01
      Jan-Bernd Themann authored 
      When ehea_stop is called the function
cancel_work_sync(&port->reset_task) is used to ensure
that the reset task is not running anymore. We need an
additional flag to ensure that it can not be scheduled
after this call again for a certain time.

      ehea: fix might sleep problem · 5c2cec14
      Jan-Bernd Themann authored 
      A mutex has to be replaced by spinlocks as it can be called from
a context which does not allow sleeping.
The kzalloc flag GFP_KERNEL has to be replaced by GFP_ATOMIC
for the same reason.

      forcedeth: fix lockdep warning on ethtool -s · 97bff095
      Tobias Diedrich authored 
      After enabling CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING I get the
following warning when ethtool -s is first called on one of the
forcedeth ports:

This is caused by the following snippet in nv_set_settings:

	netif_carrier_off(dev);
	if (netif_running(dev)) {
		nv_disable_irq(dev);
		netif_tx_lock_bh(dev);
		spin_lock(&np->lock);
		/* stop engines */
		nv_stop_rxtx(dev);
		spin_unlock(&np->lock);
		netif_tx_unlock_bh(dev);
	}

Because of nv_disable_irq this is probably not really a problem
though (I guess) and replacing the spin_lock with spin_lock_irqsave
could keep interrupts disabled for a longer period of time because
of delays in nv_stop_rx and nv_stop_tx.

      Add missing skb->dev assignment in Frame Relay RX code · 54364b75
      Krzysztof Halasa authored 
      Commit 4c13eb66 ([ETH]: Make
eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans) removed
skb->dev assignment from hdlc_fr.c:fr_rx(). Unfortunately it was also
needed for cases other than eth_type_trans().

Adding it back.

It's quite serious and may be a security risk as it causes a wrong
input interface indication (the physical hdlcX instead of logical
pvcX). Probably -stable class fix.
