It's a bootup dependancy, you can't just increase it randomly, and it breaks booting with LILO. Pointed out by Janos Farkas and Adrian Bunk. Cset exclude: ak@suse.de[torvalds]|ChangeSet|20050115232300|01174

rwlocks can't be "locked". They can be "locked for read", or "locked for write", but not both. The confusion this caused is evident in the long discussion about this on linux-kernel ;)

They had their time and place, but right now they are using infrastructure that is getting re-done, and we're better off just dropping them.

The locking tests were wrong, and the fixes are up in the air. In the meantime, the get-it-working patch is to just not do this. Cset exclude: mingo@elte.hu[torvalds]|ChangeSet|20050115174045|30241

My ALPS touchpad is not recognized because the device gets confused by the Kensington ThinkingMouse probe. It responds with "00 00 14" instead of the expected "00 00 64" to the "E6 report". Resetting the device before attempting the ALPS probe fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

We could screw up and warn for opcodes that weren't write-safe and the user tried to use without having write permissions. Not so bad in itself, but that also destroyed the cmd type information. Noticed by Michal Schmidt

- any device teardown must happen between agp_remove_bridge and agp_put_bridge, before agp_remove_bridge users can still call into the code - it's releasing a reference to the wrong device Original patch from: Christoph Hellwig Further munging from Roland Dreier and myself.

When drivers other than loopback were using the LLTX feature a race window was present. While sending queued packets, the packet scheduler layer drops the queue lock then calls directly into the drivers xmit handler. The driver then grabs it's private TX lock and goes to work. However, as soon as we've dropped the queue lock another thread doing TX processing for that card can execute a netif_stop_queue() due to the TX queue filling up. This race window causes problems because a properly coded driver should never end up in it's ->hard_start_xmit() handler if the queue on the device has been stopped and we even BUG() trap for this condition in all of the device drivers. That is how this race window was discovered by Roland and the Infiniband folks. Various suggestions were made to close this race. One of which involved holding onto the queue lock all the way into the ->hard_start_xmit() routine. Then having the driver drop that lock only after taking it's private TX lock. This solution was deemed grotty because it is not wise to put queueing discipline internals into the device drivers. The solution taken here, which is based upon ideas from Stephen Hemminger, is twofold: 1) Leave LLTX around for purely software devices that need no locking at all for TX processing. The existing example is loopback, although all tunnel devices could be converted in this way too. 2) Stop trying to use LLTX for the other devices. Instead achieve the same goal using a different mechanism. For #2, the thing we were trying to achieve with LLTX was to eliminate excess locking. We accomplish that now by letting the device driver use dev->xmit_lock directly instead of a seperate priv->tx_lock of some sort. In order to allow that, we had to turn dev->xmit_lock into a hardware IRQ disabling lock instead of a BH disabling one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

From: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> The fxsave instruction does not save the x87 tag word (only the empty bits), and we re-created the old-style x87 tags incorrectly. The registers are saved in "stack order" in the save area, but the tag word bits are in "hardware order", and we need to get the right register state. Both x86 and x86-64 needed this fix.

Anand Parthasarathy pointed out that draft-ietf-ipoib-ip-over-infiniband-09.txt says: [DISC] specifies the length of source/target option in number of 8-octets as indicated by a length of '3' above. Since the IPoIB link-layer address is only 20-octet long, two octets of zero MUST be prepended to fill the total option length of 24 octets. The current Linux neighbour discovery code puts the padding after the link address. This patch fixes up ndisc.c to put the padding in the correct place by adding a general ndisc_addr_option_pad() function (which could be used in the future if someone ever implements RFC 3831 IPv6-over-FC or some other encapsulation that requires padding).
