The pdev->id is used in several places for different purpose. All these uses assume it's always the id of fec device which is >= 0. However this is only true for non-DT case. When DT plays, pdev->id is always -1, which will break these pdev->id users. Instead of fixing all these users one by one, this patch introduces a new member 'dev_id' to 'struct fec_enet_private' for holding the correct fec device id, and replaces all the existing uses of pdev->id with this dev_id.

Since 92fc43b4, rtl8169_tx_timeout ends up resetting Rx and Tx indexes and thus racing with the NAPI handler via -> rtl8169_hw_reset -> rtl_hw_reset -> rtl8169_init_ring_indexes What about returning to the original state ? rtl_hw_reset is only used by rtl8169_hw_reset and rtl8169_init_one. The latter does not need rtl8169_init_ring_indexes because the indexes still contain their original values from the newly allocated network device private data area (i.e. 0). rtl8169_hw_reset is used by: 1. rtl8169_down Helper for rtl8169_close. rtl8169_open explicitely inits the indexes anyway. 2. rtl8169_pcierr_interrupt Indexes are set by rtl8169_reinit_task. 3. rtl8169_interrupt rtl8169_hw_reset is needed when the device goes down. See 1. 4. rtl_shutdown System shutdown handler. Indexes are irrelevant. 5. rtl8169_reset_task Indexes must be set before rtl_hw_start is called. 6. rtl8169_tx_timeout Indexes should not be set. This is the job of rtl8169_reset_task anyway. The removal of rtl8169_hw_reset in rtl8169_tx_timeout and its move in rtl8169_reset_task do not change the analysis.

Realtek has specified that the post 8168c gigabit chips and the post 8105e fast ethernet chips recover automatically from a Rx FIFO overflow. The driver does not need to clear the RxFIFOOver bit of IntrStatus and it should rather avoid messing it. The implementation deserves some explanation: 1. events outside of the intr_event bit mask are now ignored. It enforces a no-processing policy for the events that either should not be there or should be ignored. 2. RxFIFOOver was already ignored in rtl_cfg_infos[RTL_CFG_1] for the whole 8168 line of chips with two exceptions: - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 since b5ba6d12 ("use RxFIFO overflow workaround for 8168c chipset."). This one should now be correctly handled. - RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_11 (8168b) which requires a different Rx FIFO overflow processing. Though it does not conform to Realtek suggestion above, the updated driver includes no change for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 and RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_17. Both are 8168b. RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12 is common and a bit old so I'd rather wait for experimental evidence that the change suggested by Realtek really helps or does not hurt in unexpected ways. Removed case statements in rtl8169_interrupt are only 8168 relevant. 3. RxFIFOOver is masked for post 8105e 810x chips, namely the sole 8105e (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_30) itself.

If the set_ftrace_filter is cleared by writing just whitespace to it, then the filter hash refcounts will be decremented but not updated.

A forced undef of a config value was used for testing and was accidently left in during the final commit. This causes x86 to run slower than needed while running function tracing as well as causes the function graph selftest to fail when DYNMAIC_FTRACE is not set. This is because the code in MCOUNT expects the ftrace code to be processed with the config value set that happened to be forced not set. The forced config option was left in by: commit 6331c28c ftrace: Fix dynamic selftest failure on some archs Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111102150255.GA6973@debian Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from ever being released. Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting events. Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that. Fix this by touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user - subsystem_open().

If ipv4_valdiate_peer() fails during a cached entry lookup, we'll NULL derer since the loop iterator assumes rth is not NULL. Letting this be handled as a failure is just bogus, so just make it not fail. If we have trouble getting a non-NULL neighbour for the redirected gateway, just restore the original gateway and continue. The very next use of this cached route will try again.

The Satellite C670-10V generates notifications for hotkeys but does not support HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT. As a result when a hotkey is pressed it gets stuck in an infinite loop in toshiba_acpi_notify. To fix this, detect whether or not HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT is supported up-front and don't try to read system events if it isn't supported. In addition, limit the number of retries when reading HCI_SYSTEM_EVENT fails so that this loop cannot run unbounded.

Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has not been set. Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses 'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go away. Interestingly, commit b8bcfe99 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.

Following is from Notes of section 11.5.3 of Intel processor manual available at: http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/325384.pdf For the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors, after the sequence of steps given above has been executed, the cache lines containing the code between the end of the WBINVD instruction and before the MTRRS have actually been disabled may be retained in the cache hierarchy. Here, to remove code from the cache completely, a second WBINVD instruction must be executed after the MTRRs have been disabled. This patch provides resolution for that. Ideally, I will like to make changes only for Pentium 4 and Xeon processors. But, I am not finding easier way to do it. And, extra wbinvd() instruction does not hurt much for other processors.
