Bug symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the same inode VFS calls read_inode() twice and doesn't call
clear_inode() between the two read_inode() invocations.
Bug description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we have an inode which has zero reference count but is still in
the inode cache. Suppose kswapd invokes shrink_icache_memory() to free
some RAM. In prune_icache() inodes are removed from i_hash. prune_icache
() is then going to call clear_inode(), but drops the inode_lock
spinlock before this. If in this moment another task calls iget() for an
inode which was just removed from i_hash by prune_icache(), then iget()
invokes read_inode() for this inode, because it is *already removed*
from i_hash.
The end result is: we call iget(#N) then iput(#N); inode #N has zero
i_count now and is in the inode cache; kswapd starts. kswapd removes the
inode #N from i_hash ans is preempted; we call iget(#N) again;
read_inode() is invoked as the result; but we expect clear_inode()
before.
Fix
~~~~~~~
To fix the bug I remove inodes from i_hash later, when clear_inode() is
actually called. I remove them from i_hash under spinlock protection.
Since the i_state is set to I_FREEING, it is safe to do this. The others
will sleep waiting for the inode state change.
I also postpone removing inodes from i_sb_list. It is not compulsory to
do so but I do it for readability reasons. Inodes are added/removed to
the lists together everywhere in the code and there is no point to
change this rule. This is harmless because the only user of i_sb_list
which somehow may interfere with me (invalidate_list()) is excluded by
the iprune_sem mutex.
The same race is possible in invalidate_list() so I do the same for it.

This patch fixes queer behavior in __wait_on_freeing_inode().
If I_LOCK was not set it called yield(), effectively busy waiting for the
removal of the inode from the hash. This change was introduced within
"[PATCH] eliminate inode waitqueue hashtable" Changeset 1.1938.166.16 last
october by wli.
The solution is to restore the old behavior, of unconditionally waiting on
the waitqueue. It doesn't matter if I_LOCK is not set initally, the task
will go to sleep, and wake up when wake_up_inode() is called from
generic_delete_inode() after removing the inode from the hash chain.
Comment is also updated to better reflect current behavior.
This condition is very hard to trigger normally (simultaneous clear_inode()
with iget()) so probably only heavy stress testing can reveal any change of
behavior.

OK, I can see what's happening here. eth0 doesn't detect link-up until
after a few seconds, so when the vlan interface is opened immediately
after eth0 has been opened, it inherits the link-down state. Subsequently
the vlan interface is never properly activated and are thus unable to
transmit any packets.
dev->state bits are not supposed to be manipulated directly. Something
similar is probably needed for the netif_device_present() bit, although
I don't know how this is meant to work for a virtual device.

The following driver provides complete interrupt-in and interrupt-out
reports (raw data) to a user program. Until now it uses the
HIDIOCGDEVINFO ioctl call, because I don't know better :-(. Perhaps, it
will be ok for you - and I will be happy, if you assign 8 minor numbers.
I have tested it in several environments and it works very well for me.
However, it has a problem with two or more devices at the same hub, if
the two or more devices need 1 ms interrupt-in transfers. Unfortunately
more than one interrupt-in transfer every ms isn't possible (ehci
driver?). This is why the min_interrupt_in_interval and
min_interrupt_out_interval are increased to 2 ms (see the corresponding
module parameters). This way, I can use two devices simultaneously at
the same hub.

This is a change to the trace format which is not fully compatible.

We map states 0x00 and 0x10 to the ATM_PHY_SIG_LOST flag. The current logic fails to
resync the line if we get state 0x10 followed by 0x00, since we only resync the line
when the state is 0x00 and the flag changed. Doubly fixed by (1) always resyncing the
line when the state is 0x00 even if the state didn't change, and (2) keeping track of
the last state, not just the flag. We do (2) as well as (1) in order to get better log
messages.

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.
The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.

In some cases, we may be generating packets with a source address that
qualifies as martian. This can happen when we're in the middle of setting
