Change the eventfd interface to de-couple the eventfd memory context, from
the file pointer instance.
Without such change, there is no clean way to racely free handle the
POLLHUP event sent when the last instance of the file* goes away. Also,
now the internal eventfd APIs are using the eventfd context instead of the
file*.
This patch is required by KVM's IRQfd code, which is still under
development.

This patch fixes a memory overrun in function ide_get_identity_ioctl() which
chooses the size of a memory buffer depending on the ioctl command that led
to the function call, however, passes that buffer to a function which needs the
buffer size to be always chosen unconditionally.
Due to conditional compilation the memory overrun can only happen on big endian
machines. The error can be triggered using ioctl HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY. Usage
of ioctl HDIO_GET_IDENTITY is safe.

commit 2f0d0fd2a6 ("ide-acpi: cleanup
do_drive_get_GTF()") didn't account for the lack of hwif->acpidata
check in generic_ide_suspend() [ indirect user of do_drive_get_GTF()
through ide_acpi_exec_tfs() ] resulting in broken resume when ACPI
support is enabled but ACPI data is unavailable.
Fix it by adding ide_port_acpi() helper for checking if port needs
ACPI handling and cleaning generic_ide_{suspend,resume}() to use it
instead of hiding hwif->acpidata and ide_noacpi checks in IDE ACPI
helpers (this should help in preventing similar bugs in the future).

Currently we reinit the ldisc on final tty close which is what the old code
did to ensure that if the device retained its termios settings then it had the
right ldisc. tty_ldisc_reinit does that but also leaves us with the reset
ldisc reference which is then leaked.
At this point we know the port will be recycled so we can kill the ldisc
off completely rather than try and add another ldisc free up when the kref
count hits zero.
At this point it is safe to keep the ldisc closed as tty_ldisc waiting
methods are only used from the user side, and as the final close we are
the last such reference. Interrupt/driver side methods will always use the
non wait version and get back a NULL.

Alright, I've reworked this now so that if we get one of these cases
where there's a bsr that's > 4k and < 64k on a 64k kernel we'll only
advertise that it is a 4k BSR to userspace. I think this is the best
solution since user programs are only supposed to look at sysfs to
determine how much can be mapped, and libbsr does this as well.

When the ACPI video driver initializes, it does a namespace walk
looking for for supported devices. When we find an appropriate
handle, we walk up the ACPI tree looking for a PCI root bus, and
then walk back down the PCI bus, assuming that every device
inbetween is a P2P bridge.
This assumption is not correct, and is reported broken on at

The eee contains a logically (but not physically) hotpluggable PCIe slot.
Currently this is handled by adding or removing the PCI device in response
to rfkill events, but if a user has forced pciehp to bind to it (with the
force=1 argument) then both drivers will try to handle the event and
hilarity (in the form of oopses) will ensue. This can be avoided by having
eee-laptop register the slot as a hotplug slot. Only one of pciehp and

2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which
disagrees with how every other device operates.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.
The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.
We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.

Convert the driver to use net_device_ops as it is now mandatory.
Also compensate for the removal of struct sk_buff's dst field.
The changes are mostly mechanical, the content of ethernet-common.c
