There are situations where CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM is too restrictive. For example CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM depends on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM but it works perfectly fine if an architecture without io memory just includes asm-generic/io.h or implements everything defined in it. UML is such a corner case. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

Current code doesn't update the symlinks in /sys/dev/char when we add/remove tty lines. Fixing that allows to stop messing with ->valid before the driver registration, which is a Good Thing(tm) - we shouldn't have it set before we really have the things set up and ready for line_open(). We need tty_driver available to call tty_{un,}register_device(), so we just stash a reference to it into struct line_driver.

Pull parse_chan_pair() call into setup_one_line(), under the mutex. We really don't want open() to succeed before parse_chan_pair() had been done (or after it has failed, BTW).

If two processes are opening the same line, the second to get into line_open() will decide that it doesn't need to do anything (correctly) or wait for anything. The latter, unfortunately, is incorrect - the first opener might not be through yet. We need to have exclusion covering the entire line_init(), including the blocking parts. Moreover, the next patch will need to widen the exclusion on mconsole side of things, also including the blocking bits, so let's just convert that sucker to mutex...

Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled], We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled and we even check and yell when an interrupt handler returns with interrupts enabled (see commit [b738a50a: genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]). So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

Commit 28d82dc1 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications to longer work (dovecot for one). The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting (since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "1) icmp6_dst_alloc() returns NULL instead of ERR_PTR() leading to crashes, particularly during shutdown. Reported by Dave Jones and fixed by Eric Dumazet. 2) hyperv and wimax/i2400m return NETDEV_TX_BUSY when they have already freed the SKB, which causes crashes as to the caller this means requeue the packet. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 3) usbnet driver doesn't allocate the right amount of headroom on fresh RX SKBs, fix from Eric Dumazet. 4) Fix regression in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu(), as an RCU lookup it abolutely should not take a reference to 'dev', this leads to leaks. Fix from RonQing Li. 5) Fix netfilter ctnetlink race between delete and timeout expiration. From Pablo Neira Ayuso. 6) Revert SFQ change which causes regressions, specifically queueing to tail can lead to unavoidable flow starvation. From Eric Dumazet. 7) Fix a memory leak and a crash on corrupt firmware files in bnx2x, from Michal Schmidt." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix race between delete and timeout expiration ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu. wimax/i2400m: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/hyperv: fix erroneous NETDEV_TX_BUSY use net/usbnet: reserve headroom on rx skbs bnx2x: fix memory leak in bnx2x_init_firmware() bnx2x: fix a crash on corrupt firmware file sch_sfq: revert dont put new flow at the end of flows ipv6: fix icmp6_dst_alloc()

Kerin Millar reported hardlockups while running `conntrackd -c' in a busy firewall. That system (with several processors) was acting as backup in a primary-backup setup. After several tries, I found a race condition between the deletion operation of ctnetlink and timeout expiration. This patch fixes this problem.
