6952d8923b [BOND]: Fix warning in bond_sysfs.c
original_mtu is only used if we end up with a non-NULL
dev, and it is assigned in all such cases, but GCC can't
see that.

9896322ae1 rt2x00: Ignore set_state(STATE_SLEEP) failure
Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

ebd9302842 drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-4965.c: correct use of ! and &
In commit e6bafba5b4, a bug was fixed that
involved converting !x & y to !(x & y).  The code below shows the same
pattern, and thus should perhaps be fixed in the same way.

This is not tested and clearly changes the semantics, so it is only
something to consider.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

dd1f635fe0 libertas: fix spinlock recursion bug
This fixes a bug detected by CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK:

if_cs_get_int_status() is only called from lbs_thread(), via
priv->hw_get_int_status. However, lbs_thread() has already taken the
priv->driver_lock. So it's a fault to take the same lock again here.

According to: Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt:

<cite>
napi->poll:

napi->poll() could be called either with interrupts enabled
(in softirq context) or disabled (by netconsole), so the irq flag
should be preserved.

b1186dee3e cxgb3: Fix lockdep problems with sge.reg_lock
Using iWARP with a Chelsio T3 NIC generates the following lockdep warning:

    =================================
    [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ]
    2.6.25-rc6 #50
    ---------------------------------
    inconsistent {softirq-on-W} -> {in-softirq-W} usage.
    swapper/0 [HC0[0]:SC1[1]:HE0:SE0] takes:
     (&adap->sge.reg_lock){-+..}, at: [<ffffffff880e5ee2>] cxgb_offload_ctl+0x3af/0x507 [cxgb3]

The problem is that reg_lock is used with plain spin_lock() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/sge.c but is used with spin_lock_irqsave() in
drivers/net/cxgb3/cxgb3_offload.c.  This is technically a false
positive, since the uses in sge.c are only in the initialization and
cleanup paths and cannot overlap with any use in interrupt context.

The best fix is probably just to use spin_lock_irq() with reg_lock in
sge.c.  Even though it's not strictly required for correctness, it
avoids triggering lockdep and the extra overhead of disabling
interrupts is not important at all in the initialization and cleanup
slow paths.

o remove old "concurrent transmit" code that unnecessarily drops and

o reduce scope of tx lock in tx cleanup. tx cleanup operates on
  different section of the ring than transmitting cpus and is

o avoid redudant tx_has_work() and rx_has_work() checks in interrupt
  and napi, which can uncork irq based on racy (lockless) access to tx
  and rx ring indices. If we get interrupt, there's sufficient reason to
  schedule napi.

  that prevents posting rx desc to card. This improves performance in

c83dbf687f iwlwifi: fix __devexit_p points to __devexit functions
The iwlxxxx_pci_remove functions are not needed when drivers are not
compiled as modules - they can thus be discarded at kernel link time.
This is already captured by having them as __devexit_p in the pci_driver

This is now fixed.

This problem was reported by Toralf Forster when testing the compilation of

If we loop more than once in gem_poll(), we'll
use more than the real budget in our gem_rx()

Subtract "work_done" from "budget" for the second

a different device (e.g. from eth) and has its own pair of queue

ifb; yet there are possible situations, when this order could be
dangerous; lockdep should warn in such a case.) (With suggestions by

725e49c5da [IOC3] Fix section missmatch
LD      drivers/net/built-in.o
WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.text+0x3468): Section mismatch in reference fro
m the function ioc3_probe() to the function .devinit.text:ioc3_serial_probe()
The function ioc3_probe() references
the function __devinit ioc3_serial_probe().
This is often because ioc3_probe lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of ioc3_serial_probe is wrong.

69cac988f2 2.6.25-rc4 de_stop_rxtx polling wrong
This untested patch _should_ fix:
	"(net de2104x) Kernel panic with de2104x tulip driver on boot"
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3156

But the bug submitter isn't responding.  Same fix has been applied
to tulip.c (several years ago) and uli526x.c (Feb 2008) drivers.

[ The panic reported in the bug report was removed in a recently
  (march 2008) accepted patch from Ondrej Zary. ]

3b446c3e15 forcedeth: limit tx to 16
This is a critical patch which adds a workaround for a HW bug. The patch
will limit the number of outstanding tx packets to 16. Otherwise, the HW
could send out packets with bad checksums.

The driver will still setup the tx packets into the ring, however, will
only set the Valid bit on 16 packets at a time.
