02e35228 (block: rescan partitions on invalidated devices on -ENOMEDIA too) relocated partition rescan above explicit bd_set_size() to simplify condition check. As rescan_partitions() does its own bdev size setting, this doesn't break anything; however, rescan_partitions() prints out the following messages when adjusting bdev size, which can be confusing. sda: detected capacity change from 0 to 146815737856 sdb: detected capacity change from 0 to 146815737856 This patch restores the original order and remove the warning messages. stable: Please apply together with 02e35228 (block: rescan partitions on invalidated devices on -ENOMEDIA too).

The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a pure __init function. When marked as __init, it gets thrown out after the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel tried to execute NX-protected page" oops because the page is no longer marked executable.

Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h. The skbuff list traversal still had them. Quoth David Miller: "Please just remove the prefetches. Those are modelled after list.h as I intend to eventually convert SKB list handling to "struct list_head" but we're not there yet. Therefore if we kill prefetches from list.h we should kill it from these things in skbuff.h too."

dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set to noop_qdisc. This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller. But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in rollback_registered_many(). After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL latency.

In the old days, we used to access dev->master in __netif_receive_skb() in a rcu_read_lock section. So one synchronize_net() call was needed in netdev_set_master() to make sure another cpu could not use old master while/after we release it. We now use netdev_rx_handler infrastructure and added one synchronize_net() call in bond_release()/bond_release_all() Remove the obsolete synchronize_net() from netdev_set_master() and add one in bridge del_nbp() after its netdev_rx_handler_unregister() call. This makes enslave -d a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Amerigo Wang authored
V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole. Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole. By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither. This patch is based on net-next-2.6. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Horman <nhorman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
