This patch (as1157) adds a no-name PS/2-to-USB keyboard+mouse adapter
to the hid-dell driver. (The device shows up with a Product string
saying "Generic USB K/B", nothing more.) This will force an initial
"Set-LEDs" report to be sent to the device, without which it won't
send any keystroke information. Several bug reports mentioning this
device have been filed in various forums; the patch should resolve
them.
This is just a temporary stop-gap for 2.6.28. A later patch for
2.6.29 will introduce a more generic mechanism for "Set-LEDs", making
this change (and the entire hid-dell driver) unnecessary.

In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command
line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup()
(which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is
called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the
state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also
cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is
probably the behavior we want.

This patch (as1153) fixes a potential problem in hub initialization.
Starting in 2.6.28, initialization was split into several tasks to
help speed up booting. This opens the possibility that the hub may be
autosuspended before all the initialization tasks can complete.
Normally that wouldn't matter, but with incomplete initialization
there is a risk that the hub would never autoresume -- especially if
devices were plugged into the hub beforehand. The solution is a
simple one-line change to suppress autosuspend until the
initialization is finished.

This patch (as1151) protects usbcore against drivers that try to
unlink an URB after the URB's device or bus have been removed. The
core does not currently check for this, and certain drivers can cause
a crash if they are running while an HCD is unloaded.
Certainly it would be best to fix the guilty drivers. But a little
defensive programming doesn't hurt, especially since it appears that
quite a few drivers need to be fixed.
The patch prevents the problem by grabbing a reference to the device
while an unlink is in progress and using a new spinlock to synchronize
unlinks with device removal. (There's no need to acquire a reference
to the bus as well, since the device structure itself keeps a
reference to the bus.) In addition, the kerneldoc is updated to
indicate that URBs should not be unlinked after the disconnect method
returns.

I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still

1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of
the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3.
2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar
variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of.
3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use
the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

Corey Minyard found a race added in commit 271b72c7fa
(udp: RCU handling for Unicast packets.)
"If the socket is moved from one list to another list in-between the
time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
socket has moved to the end of the new list, the traversal will not
complete properly on the list it should have, since the socket will
be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
new list and restart the list traversal. I think that this can be
solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
checking the hash."

Goals are :
1) Optimizing handling of incoming Unicast UDP frames, so that no memory
writes should happen in the fast path.
Note: Multicasts and broadcasts still will need to take a lock,
because doing a full lockless lookup in this case is difficult.
2) No expensive operations in the socket bind/unhash phases :
- No expensive synchronize_rcu() calls.
- No added rcu_head in socket structure, increasing memory needs,
but more important, forcing us to use call_rcu() calls,
that have the bad property of making sockets structure cold.
(rcu grace period between socket freeing and its potential reuse
make this socket being cold in CPU cache).
David did a previous patch using call_rcu() and noticed a 20%
impact on TCP connection rates.
Quoting Cristopher Lameter :
"Right. That results in cacheline cooldown. You'd want to recycle
the object as they are cache hot on a per cpu basis. That is screwed
up by the delayed regular rcu processing. We have seen multiple
regressions due to cacheline cooldown.
The only choice in cacheline hot sensitive areas is to deal with the
complexity that comes with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU or give up on RCU."
- Because udp sockets are allocated from dedicated kmem_cache,
use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU can help here.
Theory of operation :
---------------------
As the lookup is lockfree (using rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock()),
special attention must be taken by readers and writers.
Use of SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is tricky too, because a socket can be freed,
reused, inserted in a different chain or in worst case in the same chain
while readers could do lookups in the same time.
In order to avoid loops, a reader must check each socket found in a chain
really belongs to the chain the reader was traversing. If it finds a
mismatch, lookup must start again at the begining. This *restart* loop
is the reason we had to use rdlock for the multicast case, because
we dont want to send same message several times to the same socket.
We use RCU only for fast path.
Thus, /proc/net/udp still takes spinlocks.

UDP sockets are hashed in a 128 slots hash table.
This hash table is protected by *one* rwlock.
This rwlock is readlocked each time an incoming UDP message is handled.
This rwlock is writelocked each time a socket must be inserted in
hash table (bind time), or deleted from this table (close time)
This is not scalable on SMP machines :
1) Even in read mode, lock() and unlock() are atomic operations and
must dirty a contended cache line, shared by all cpus.
2) A writer might be starved if many readers are 'in flight'. This can
happen on a machine with some NIC receiving many UDP messages. User
process can be delayed a long time at socket creation/dismantle time.
This patch prepares RCU migration, by introducing 'struct udp_table
and struct udp_hslot', and using one spinlock per chain, to reduce
contention on central rwlock.
Introducing one spinlock per chain reduces latencies, for port
randomization on heavily loaded UDP servers. This also speedup
bindings to specific ports.
udp_lib_unhash() was uninlined, becoming to big.
Some cleanups were done to ease review of following patch
