I noticed that one of the post-2.6.36 patches broke runtime PM of the
r8169 on my MSI Wind test machine in such a way that the link was not
brought up after reconnecting the network cable.
In the process of debugging the issue I realized that we only should
invoke the runtime PM functions in rtl8169_check_link_status() when
link change is reported and if we do so, the problem goes away.
Moreover, this allows rtl8169_runtime_idle() to be simplified quite
a bit.

There is definitly a problem, that some option cards send up broken
IP pakets leading to corrupted IP packets. These corruptions aren't
detected, because the driver claims that the packets are already
checksummed. This change removes the CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY option
and let IP detect broken data.

A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among
them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which
could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path
should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a
regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the
cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing
a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG
backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set
bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the
offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work
more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady
gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the
normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for
netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously
queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just
convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs,
is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code
in the process.

x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload.
Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module
hangs and results in
unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1
This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free,
the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.

Oh well, of course I must first fix the bug in net-2.6, and wait David
pull the fix in net-next-2.6 before sending this rcu conversion.
Note: this patch should be sent to stable teams (2.6.34 and up)
[PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance
commit abf9d537fe (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one
refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt
take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does.
Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for
2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at
their final place.

If we break the loop when there are still skbs in tq and no skb in
rq, the skbs will be left in txq until new skbs are enqueued into rq.
In rare cases, no new skb is queued, then these skbs will stay in rq
forever.
After this patch, if tq isn't empty when we break the loop, we goto
resched directly.

The bug has to do with boundary checks on the initial receive window.
If the initial receive window falls between init_cwnd and the
receive window specified by the user, the initial window is incorrectly
brought down to init_cwnd. The correct behavior is to allow it to
remain unchanged.

If we are using a legacy interrupt, our IRQ may be shared and our
interrupt handler may be called even though interrupts are disabled on
the NIC. When we change ring sizes, we reallocate the event queue and
the interrupt handler may use an invalid pointer when called for
another device's interrupt.
Maintain a legacy_irq_enabled flag and test that at the top of the
interrupt handler. Note that this problem results from the need to
work around broken INT_ISR0 reads, and does not affect the legacy
interrupt handler for Falcon A1.

Pavel Emelyanov tried to fix a race between sk_filter_(de|at)tach and
sk_clone() in commit 47e958eac2
Problem is we can have several clones sharing a common sk_filter, and
these clones might want to sk_filter_attach() their own filters at the
same time, and can overwrite old_filter->rcu, corrupting RCU queues.
We can not use filter->rcu without being sure no other thread could do
the same thing.
Switch code to a more conventional ref-counting technique : Do the
atomic decrement immediately and queue one rcu call back when last
reference is released.
