      Hmm, so if some other URB gets queued in that window,
      it'll get trashed?  Unlikely .. the clean fix would be
      making the status endpoint have a real URB queue.
      
      I combined your suggested change with two others:
      (a) protect the status-unlink and control completion
          handlers against IRQs [ the cases Duncan noted]
      (b) use mod_timer to retrigger the timer, instead of the
          heavy weight path.

      I completely misread this code and there was no bug.  In fact yesterday's fix
      broke it.  Revert.

      [PATCH] apply_alternatives() fix · f69ca779
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      There is some assembly code in setup.c which doesn't explicitly set its
      section.  It comes after a C function which is marked __init.  The compiler
      does not reset the section after such C functions.  The assembly code is
      going into .text.init.
      
      That's the wrong section.  We get oopses modprobing sctp and, with Manfred's
      unmap-free-pages debug patch we get oopses modprobing e100.ko.  In
      apply_alternatives().

      [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.

      Or in short:  your patch removes some old logic for the "automagic
      interrupt transfer" special casing ... which recently started to
      break that rmmod path.
      
      With automagic, the only time an interrupt urb (like the root hub
      status urb) could legitimately be given back was for unlink.  But
      that unlink doesn't seem to be issued in the same way lately during
      the rmmod paths.  (If they're less bizarre lately, that's good!)

      I changed a couple minor things below ... basically (a) fixing the
      issue Duncan Sands pointed out (always call completions with irqs
      disabled, even if hub driver currently doesn't care), (b) better
      logic to avoid retriggering the timer during shutdown, (c) not
      doing del_timer_sync() while holding that lock, plus (d) a minor
      linewrap fix.

      i2c: fix up i2c-dev driver based on previous core changes. · 7a503879
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      This fixes the problem that adapter id's are not the minor number for the
      i2c-dev devices anymore.  Also adds a i2c-dev class to let userspace know
      which i2c-dev device is bound to which i2c adapter.
