      [NET]: More device register/unregister fixing. · 13d6a99c
      David S. Miller authored
      Revert the rtnl_lock API change, it is totally unneeded.
      Instead we manage the todo work inside of net/core/dev.c
      
      Also, we have to move sbin hotplug invocation outside of
      the RTNL semaphore as well, both for register and unregister.

      [NET]: Fix netdevice unregister races. · ff936f4e
      David S. Miller authored
      We had two major issues when unregistering networking devices.
      1) Even trying to run hotplug asynchronously could deadlock
         if keventd was currently trying to get the RTNL semaphore
         in order to process linkwatch events.
      2) Unregister needs to wait for the last reference to go away
         before the finalization of the unregister can execute.  This
         cannot occur under the RTNL semaphore as this is deadlock
         prone as well.
      
      The solution is to do all of this stuff after dropping the
      RTNL semaphore.  rtnl_lock, if it is about to protect a region
      of code that could unregister network devices, registers a list
      to which unregistered netdevs are attached.  At rtnl_unlock time
      this list is processed to wait for refcounts to drop to zero and
      then finalize the unregister.

      [PATCH] some ppp/usecount bug · f5254cb3
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      There's a bunch of useless MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT in
      ppp-related code when it manipulates the use count in functions
      that are only called from other modules, i.e. it's locked in by
      the depencies anyway.  Get rid of it.

      [PATCH] 2.5.11 : drivers/net/ppp_generic.c · 3f64554f
      Frank Davis authored
      Linus,
        During a 'make bzImage', I received a warning on ppp_generic.c that ret
      wasn't initialized (also for 2.5.10). I have attached a patch that sets
      ret = count, thus removing the warning. Please review for inclusion.
      
      Regards,
      Frank
