e180a6b775 "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

Commit f68d24082e
in 2.6.32-rc1 broke requesting IRQs for per-VQ MSI-X vectors:
- vector number was used instead of the vector itself
- we try to request an IRQ for VQ which does not
have a callback handler
This is a regression that causes warnings in kernel log,
potentially lower performance as we need to scan vq list,
and might cause system failure if the interrupt
requested is in fact needed by another system.
This was not noticed earlier because in most cases
we were falling back on shared interrupt for all vqs.
The warnings often look like this:
virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 26 for MSI/MSI-X
virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 27 for MSI/MSI-X
virtio-pci 0000:00:03.0: irq 28 for MSI/MSI-X

pcpu_alloc() and pcpu_extend_area_map() perform a series of
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() calls, which make them unsafe
with respect to being called from contexts which have IRQs off.
This patch converts the code to perform save/restore of flags instead,
making pcpu_alloc() (or __alloc_percpu() respectively) to be called
from early kernel startup stage, where IRQs are off.
This is needed for proper initialization of per-cpu rq_weight data from
sched_init().

When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association
response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface
to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it
possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames.
A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a
failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such
frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients
(especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to
authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the

Recent commit "mac80211: fix logic error ibss merge bssid check" fixed
joining of ibss cell when static bssid is provided. In this case
ifibss->bssid is set before the cell is joined and comparing that address
to a bss should thus always succeed. Unfortunately this change broke the
other case of joining a ibss cell without providing a static bssid where
the value of ifibss->bssid is not set before the cell is joined.
Since ifibss->bssid may be set before or after joining the cell we do not
learn anything by comparing it to a known bss. Remove this check.

Be more careful about the state of pointers during tear-down.
The "pppoe_dev" field can only be looked at safely while holding socket locks.
This subsequently allows for the flush_lock to be killed.
We depend on the PPPOX_CONNECTED state to tell us that that those fields are
valid, so whoever clears that state (pppox_unbind_sock()) is responsible for
the dev_put() call.
We also have to ensure that we delete_item() on all sockets before they are
cleaned up.
The need for these changes has been exposed by scenarios wherein namespace
bindings of ethernet devices change while there are ongoing PPPoE sessions,
which resulted in oopses due to unusual socket connection termination paths,

PCH-based parts (82577/82578) and some ICH8-based parts (82566) need to

in order to perform sw-driven PHY configuration during initialization to
workaround known hardware issues (see follow-on patch). This patch
provides new PHY read/write functions (and function pointers) that will
allow accessing the PHY registers assuming the swflag has already been
acquired. The actual PHY register access code has moved into helper
functions that are called with a flag indicating whether or not the swflag
has already been acquired and acquires/releases it if not.
The functions called from within the updated PHY access functions had to be
updated to assume the swflag was already acquired, and other functions that
called those functions were also updated to acquire/release the swflag.
