      gianfar: use netif_tx_queue_stopped instead of __netif_subqueue_stopped · 5407b14c
      Paul Gortmaker authored
      The __netif_subqueue_stopped() just does the following:
      
              struct netdev_queue *txq = netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, queue_index);
              return netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq);
      
      and since we already have the txq in scope, we can just call that
      directly in this case.

      Don't limit non-nested epoll paths · 93dc6107
      Jason Baron authored
      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."
