I send these a while ago but didn't get a reply.
Can you apply these patches for the hamradio drivers?

details:

+ scc.c usage of rtnl lock and register_netdev.
+ scc.c properly initialize timers.
+ remove cli() call in 6pack.c
+ fix init of reused devices and remove cli()
+ scc.c statistics

Hi !

I didn't include that with the bitkeeper based PowerMac updates so Jeff
can assume his role as maintainer/filter of network driver updates :)

Here's my latest update to this pmac-only driver, please apply if you
are ok with it. The driver now uses the macio infrastructure for
detection & power management notifications, getting into sysfs at
the same time.

Ben.

Now that Al Viro fixed cramfs, it works beautifully as an initrd
filesystem.

So finally plumb it in.

I've been chasing a weird SELinux bug which shows up mostly when doing
installs of a dev-* rpm (ie. creating and overwriting lots of block
device inodes), but which I've also seen when doing mkinitrd.

It turned out not to be an SELinux problem at all, but a core VFS
S_ISBLK bug.  It seems that SELinux simply widens the race window.

The code at fault is fs/fs-writeback.c:__mark_inode_dirty():

		/*
		 * Only add valid (hashed) inodes to the superblock's
		 * dirty list.  Add blockdev inodes as well.
		 */
		if (!S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode)) {
			if (hlist_unhashed(&inode->i_hash))
				goto out;
			if (inode->i_state & (I_FREEING|I_CLEAR))
				goto out;
		}

The "I_FREEING|I_CLEAR" condition was added after the ISBLK/unhashed
tests were already in the source, but I can't see any reason why we'd
want the I_FREEING test not to apply to block devices.  And indeed, this
results in all sorts of inode list corruptions.  Simply moving the
I_FREEING|I_CLEAR test out of the protection of the S_ISBLK() condition
fixes things entirely.

The existing 2.6 kernel will reliably fail on me in about 2 seconds once
"rpm -Uvh --force dev*.rpm" starts its actual installation of the new
inodes.  With the patch below I can't reproduce it at all.

The #include is the part of this patch that matters, so the #ifdef below
works.

The rest of the patch removes gratuitous duplication due to some strange
aversion to concision in the presence of #ifdef, the kind that is all too
common, utterly pointless, and error prone.
