The dereferencing of the private pointer cmsg->m in capi_cmsg2str() may
cause an Oops in case of an error, which is particularly inconvenient
as that function is typically used to format an error message. Add a

This can be broken down into these major areas:
- Documentation updates (language translations and fixes, as
well as kobject and kset documenatation updates.)
- major kset/kobject/ktype rework and fixes. This cleans up the
kset and kobject and ktype relationship and architecture,
making sense of things now, and good documenation and samples
are provided for others to use. Also the attributes for
kobjects are much easier to handle now. This cleaned up a LOT
of code all through the kernel, making kobjects easier to use
if you want to.
- struct bus_type has been reworked to now handle the lifetime
rules properly, as the kobject is properly dynamic.
- struct driver has also been reworked, and now the lifetime
issues are resolved.
- the block subsystem has been converted to use struct device
now, and not "raw" kobjects. This patch has been in the -mm
tree for over a year now, and finally all the issues are
worked out with it. Older distros now properly work with new
kernels, and no userspace updates are needed at all.
- nozomi driver is added. This has also been in -mm for a long
time, and many people have asked for it to go in. It is now
in good enough shape to do so.
- lots of class_device conversions to use struct device instead.
The tree is almost all cleaned up now, only SCSI and IB is the
remaining code to fix up...

drivers/isdn/capi/capi.c:552: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
Of course, the code here might actually be buggy, in which case this patch
should not be applied?
Answer:
No this field is ignored inside linux kernel.Yes this is ugly, but it's
the CAPI spec for all OS.
CAPI DATA_B3 Request/Indication CAPI Message has a mandatory field which
represent the 32 bit buffer address of the payload data. In linux the
payload data do not use a sperate buffer, data follows directely after the
CAPI Message in the same skb and we use this assumption inside the drivers,
so we can ignore this field.
Inside the linux CAPI implemetation we never use this field, so it could
also have no value, but since random data in a message is bad as well (e.g.
displayed in CAPI traces) we set is to the most adequate value.
Outside the kernel the capi20 library sets the correct addresses (there is
an optional second field for 64 bit adresses for 64 bit systems, we do not
use here).

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,

I think the following patch should go into the kernel, until the ISDN/CAPI
guys create the real fix for this issue.
The issue is a concurrency issue with some internal CAPI data structure
which can crash the kernel.
On my FritzCard DSL with the AVM driver it crashes about once a day without
this workaround patch. With this workaround patch it's rock-stable (at
least on UP, but I don't see why this shouldn't work on SMP as well. But
maybe I'm missing something.)
This workaround is kind of a sledgehammer which inserts a global lock to
wrap around all the critical sections. Of course, this is a scalability
issue, if you have many ISDN/CAPI cards. But it prevents a crash. So I
vote for this fix to get merged, until people come up with a better
solution. Better have a stable kernel that's less scalable, than a
crashing and useless kernel.
This bug is in the kernel since 2.6.15 (at least).
