When the iw_cxgb3 module's cxgb3_client "add" func gets called by the cxgb3 module, the iwarp driver ends up calling the ethtool ops get_drvinfo function in cxgb3 to get the fw version and other info. Currently the iwarp driver grabs the rtnl lock around this down call to serialize. As of 2.6.27 or so, things changed such that the rtnl lock is held around the call to the netdev driver open function. Also the cxgb3_client "add" function doesn't get called if the device is down. So, if you load cxgb3, then load iw_cxgb3, then ifconfig up the device, the iw_cxgb3 add func gets called with the rtnl_lock held. If you load cxgb3, ifconfig up the device, then load iw_cxgb3, the add func gets called without the rtnl_lock held. The former causes the deadlock, the latter does not. In addition, there are iw_cxgb3 sysfs handlers that also can call down into cxgb3 to gather the fw and hw versions. These can be called concurrently on different processors and at any time. Thus we need to push this serialization down in the cxgb3 driver get_drvinfo func. The fix is to remove rtnl lock usage, and use a per-device lock in cxgb3.

The doorbell writes may be seen out of order by the firmware if they are in WC memory since the tx spin(un)lock does not flush WC writes. Hence if the "stop" is written on a different CPU than the "go", it is possible that the stop will arrive after the go unless we add an explicit memory barrier (and mmiowb() is not enough). It fixes transmit hangs in multi tx queue mode. Signed-off-by: Brice Goglin <brice@myri.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

Before commit b6c40d68 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), the dsa driver could sort-of get away with only fiddling with the master interface's allmulti/promisc counts in ->change_rx_flags() and not touching them in ->open() or ->stop(). After this commit (note that it was merged almost simultaneously with the dsa patches, which is why this wasn't caught initially), the breakage that was already there became more apparent. Since it makes no sense to keep the master interface's allmulti or promisc count pinned for a slave interface that is down, copy the vlan driver's sync logic (which does exactly what we want) over to dsa to fix this.

When a dsa slave interface has a mac address that differs from that of the master interface, eth_type_trans() won't explicitly set skb->pkt_type back to PACKET_HOST -- we need to do this ourselves before calling eth_type_trans().

Since skb_reset_tail_pointer() reads skb->data, we need to set skb->data before calling skb_reset_tail_pointer(). This was causing spurious skb_over_panic()s from skb_put() being called on a recycled skb that had its skb->tail set to beyond where it should have been.

Error handling needs to be modified in dma_pin_iovec_pages(). It should return NULL instead of ERR_PTR (pinned_list is checked for NULL in tcp_recvmsg() to determine if iovec pages have been successfully pinned down).

Yup, this appears to be the problem, thanks. I think &hso_net->net->dev is more intuitive for the error message, so I've used that. I've also added missing line endings on the error messages and set our local rfkill structure element to NULL on failure so we don't try to call rfkill_unregister on driver removal if we failed to register at all. The patch below Works For Me (TM); the device is detected fine, can be removed without problems and connects ok. I'll have a prod at why the rfkill stuff isn't working next, but I believe this cleanup of the error handling is appropriate no matter what the issue with registration is.

__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument, but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits. On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was called directly.
