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
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.
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
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

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.

661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset. The patch adds
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
field is a guess.
This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2
I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be
changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.
Diff is against 2.6.16.13.

The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed
call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error
code if the class_device registration failed.
Side effects:
* one state in registration process is unnecessary.
* register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug
* code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.

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().

tg3_run_loopback doesn't check that dev_alloc_skb() returns anything
useful.
Even if dev_alloc_skb() fails to return an skb to us we'll happily go
on and assume it did, so we risk dereferencing a NULL pointer. Much
better to fail gracefully by returning -ENOMEM than crashing here.

The test used in the linkwatch does not handle wrap-arounds correctly.
Since the intention of the code is to eliminate bursts of messages we
can afford to delay things up to a second. Using that fact we can
easily handle wrap-arounds by making sure that we don't delay things
by more than one second.
This is based on diagnosis and a patch by Stefan Rompf.
