[BLOCK] limit request_fn recursion

Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn

Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.

This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit

ptrace_attach: fix possible deadlock schenario with irqs

Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding
tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock
might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing.

Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an
interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at
triggering it ;)

Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it
be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.

an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver.

The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from
http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem,
because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen.

Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a
LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing
retransmits.  There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms,
and it made Netrek suck.  I can provide further test data.

Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise
100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation.

I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description

changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.

A race condition exists in mptfc between the thread registering a device
with the fc transport and the scan work generated by the transport.
This race existed prior to the application of the mptfc bug fix patch.

mptfc_register_dev() calls fc_remote_port_add() with the FC_RPORT_ROLE_TARGET
bit set in the rport ids passed to the function.  Having this bit set causes
fc_remote_port_add() to schedule a scan of the device.

This scan can execute before mptfc_register_dev() can fill in the dd_data
in the rport structure.  When this happens, mptfc_target_alloc() will fail
because dd_data is null.

Attached is a patch which fixes the problem.  The patch changes the rport ids
passed to fc_remote_port_add() to not have the TARGET bit set.  This prevents
the scan from being scheduled.  After mptfc_register_dev() fills in the rport
dd_data field, fc_remote_port_rolechg() is called, changing the role of the
rport to TARGET.  Thus, the scan is scheduled after dd_data is filled
in which prevents the failure in mptfc_target_alloc().

IB/mthca: Fix race in reference counting

Fix races in in destroying various objects.  If a destroy routine
waits for an object to become free by doing

wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount));
/* now clean up and destroy the object */

and another place drops a reference to the object by doing

if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount))
wake_up(&obj->wait);

then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final
freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the
wake_up().  And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be
called on part of the already-freed object.

Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old
integers protected by a spinlock.  This makes it possible to do the
decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears
as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue.

While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being
cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it.  So
there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's
perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.

The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the

If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

[Yes I added it -AK]

Currently, on x86_64, any NMI watchdog timeout will cause a panic
because the irq count will always be set to be in an interrupt
when do_exit() is called from die_nmi().  If we add nmi_exit() to
the die_nmi() call (since the nmi will never exit "normally")

[DCCP]: Fix sock_orphan dead lock

Calling sock_orphan inside bh_lock_sock in dccp_close can lead to dead
locks.  For example, the inet_diag code holds sk_callback_lock without
disabling BH.  If an inbound packet arrives during that admittedly tiny
window, it will cause a dead lock on bh_lock_sock.  Another possible
path would be through sock_wfree if the network device driver frees the
tx skb in process context with BH enabled.

We can fix this by moving sock_orphan out of bh_lock_sock.

The tricky bit is to work out when we need to destroy the socket
ourselves and when it has already been destroyed by someone else.

By moving sock_orphan before the release_sock we can solve this
problem.  This is because as long as we own the socket lock its
state cannot change.

So we simply record the socket state before the release_sock
and then check the state again after we regain the socket lock.
If the socket state has transitioned to DCCP_CLOSED in the time being,
we know that the socket has been destroyed.  Otherwise the socket is
still ours to keep.

This problem was discoverd by Ingo Molnar using his lock validator.

[SCTP]: Prevent possible infinite recursion with multiple bundled DATA.

There is a rare situation that causes lksctp to go into infinite recursion
and crash the system.  The trigger is a packet that contains at least the
first two DATA fragments of a message bundled together. The recursion is
triggered when the user data buffer is smaller that the full data message.
The problem is that we clone the skb for every fragment in the message.
When reassembling the full message, we try to link skbs from the "first
fragment" clone using the frag_list. However, since the frag_list is shared
between two clones in this rare situation, we end up setting the frag_list
pointer of the second fragment to point to itself.  This causes
sctp_skb_pull() to potentially recurse indefinitely.

Proposed solution is to make a copy of the skb when attempting to link
things using frag_list.

[PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix access to non-existent PHY registers

Fix the conditions under which we poke at the APHY registers in
bcm43xx_phy_initg() to avoid a machine check on chips where they don't
exist.
