      [S390] cio: use INIT_WORK to initialize struct work. · 33583c36
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      Use INIT_WORK to initialize struct work and don't initialize a
struct work partial by explicitly initializing its private structures.
Fixes the following lockdep bug because no key was assigned:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

      Fix myri10ge NAPI oops & warnings · c956a240
      Andrew Gallatin authored 
      When testing the myri10ge driver with 2.6.24-rc1, I found
that the machine crashed under heavy load:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000100108 RIP:
  [<ffffffff803cc8dd>] net_rx_action+0x11b/0x184

The address corresponds to the list_move_tail() in
netif_rx_complete():
                     if (unlikely(work == weight))
                             list_move_tail(&n->poll_list, list);

Eventually, I traced the crashes to calling netif_rx_complete() with
work_done == budget.  From looking at other drivers, it appears that
one should only call netif_rx_complete() when work_done < budget.

To fix it, I changed the test in myri10ge_poll() so that it refers
to to work_done rather than looking at the rx ring status.  If
work_done is < budget, then that implies we have no more packets to
process. Any races will be resolved by the NIC when the write to
irq_claim is made.

In myri10ge_clean_rx_done(), if we ever exceeded our budget, it would
report a work_done one larger than was acutally done.  This is because
the increment was done in the conditional, so work_done would be
incremented regardless of whether or not the test passed or failed.
This would lead to the WARN_ON_ONCE(work > weight); warning in
net_rx_action triggering.  I've moved the increment of work_done
inside the loop.  Note that this would only be a problem when we had
exceeded our budget.
