The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was likely to actually work or not! Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option (MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off. If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem, but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing lots of strange behavior. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

A very small cleanup for mq_open. We do not have to call set_close_on_exit if we create the file descriptor right away with the flag set. We have a function for this now.

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really no obstacles. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When a netdev is moved across namespaces with the 'dev_change_net_namespace' function, the 'device_rename' function is used to fixup kobject and refresh the sysfs tree. The device_rename function will call kobject_rename and this one will check if there is an object with the same name and this is the case because we are renaming the object with the same name. The use of 'device_rename' seems for me wrong because we usually don't rename it but just move it across namespaces. As we just want to do a mini "netdev_[un]register", IMO the functions 'netdev_[un]register_kobject' should be used instead, like an usual network device [un]registering. This patch replace device_rename by netdev_unregister_kobject, followed by netdev_register_kobject. The netdev_register_kobject will call device_initialize and will raise a warning indicating the device was already initialized. In order to fix that, I split the device initialization into a separate function and use it together with 'netdev_register_kobject' into register_netdevice. So we can safely call 'netdev_register_kobject' in 'dev_change_net_namespace'. This fix will allow to properly use the sysfs per namespace which is coming from -mm tree.

The new RV2P firmware fixes 2 issues: 1. The jumbo rx buffer page size is now configurable and set to the proper PAGE_SIZE. Before, it was assumed to be always 4K. 2. Driver sometimes would crash when receiving jumbo packets mixed with firmware management packets. This was caused by the old firmware DMA'ing to the wrong address.

On some remote PHY blade systems, the driver receives no initial link interrupt. As a result, the GMII/MII MAC mode does not get setup properly. To fix this problem, we add an initial poll of the link state after chip reset. With this change, the setting of the initial carrier state in the init code can be eliminated.

The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to 256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so the upper bits are lost when doing: brctl showmacs The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

All variants of the 5714, 5715, and 5780 offer a feature called the "Universal Management Port". This feature is implemented in firmware and is largely transparent to the driver, except... It turns out that the UMP firmware needs to know the current status of the link. Because the firmware cannot touch the PHY registers while the driver is in control of the device, it needs the driver to report link status changes through an additional handshaking mechanism. Without this handshake, it has been observed in the field that the UMP firmware will not operate correctly. This patch implements the new handshake with the UMP firmware. Since the handshake uses the same mechanism ASF heartbeats use, code was added to detect and wait for completion of a pending previous event.

A CPMU related loopback test bug existed for AX revisions of the 5761. While that errata has been fixed, the CPMU still slows down the core clock too far to run the loopback test successfully.

The MI clock is not configured correctly on adapters with the CPMU present. The tg3 driver has code which statically sets the MI clock to be a fraction of the speed at which the core clock is running. However, the CPMU can change the adapter's core clock frequency based on operating conditions. Consequently, the MI will run slow when the core's clock has been slowed down. There is a new 500KHz constant frequency clock available on adapters with a CPMU. This patch removes the static core clock scaling and configures the MI clock to use this new 500KHz clock instead. Running the MI clock at slower speeds will not directly result in data corruption, but it does challenge the PHY read and write routine timeouts.
