Jay Vosburgh authored
Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for failover events. In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other locks. The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as needed. This patch provides the high level portion. As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to do conditional locking. A first pass inspects all slaves to determine if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL) is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation may have changed when all locks were released).

Change locking in balance-rr transmit processing to use a free running counter to determine which slave to transmit on. Instead, a free-running counter is maintained, and modulo arithmetic used to select a slave for transmit. This removes lock operations from the TX path, and eliminates a deadlock introduced by the conversion to work queues.

Convert bonding timers to workqueues. This converts the various monitor functions to run in periodic work queues instead of timers. This patch introduces the framework and convers the calls, but does not resolve various locking issues, and does not stand alone.

Commits 58b053e4 ("Update arch/ to use sg helpers") 45711f1a ("[SG] Update drivers to use sg helpers") fa05f128 ("Update net/ to use sg helpers") converted many files to use the scatter gather helpers without ensuring that the necessary headerfile <linux/scatterlist> is included. This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example, the tg3 driver does tp->irq_sync = 1; smp_mb(); synchronize_irq(); and then in the IRQ handler: if (!tp->irq_sync) netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi); Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't actually protect us. In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible. This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

Reduce the function pointer mess of the m68knommu timer code by calling directly to the local hardware's timer setup, and expose the local common timer interrupt handler to the lower level hardware timer. Ultimately this will save definitions of all these functions across all the platform code to setup the function pointers (which for any given m68knommu CPU family member can be only one set of hardware timer functions).

A new style serial driver for the Freescale ColdFire UART to replace the old style one currently in the tree (drivers/serial/mcfserial.c).
