Wait for outstanding slow work items belonging to a module to clear when
unregistering that module as a user of the facility. This prevents the put_ref
code of a work item from being taken away before it returns.

A number of people have tried to add a wireless interface
(in managed mode) to a bridge and then complained that it
doesn't work. It cannot work, however, because in 802.11
networks all packets need to be acknowledged and as such
need to be sent to the right address. Promiscuous doesn't
help here. The wireless address format used for these
links has only space for three addresses, the
* transmitter, which must be equal to the sender (origin)
* receiver (on the wireless medium), which is the AP in
the case of managed mode
* the recipient (destination), which is on the APs local
network segment
In an IBSS, it is similar, but the receiver and recipient
must match and the third address is used as the BSSID.
To avoid such mistakes in the future, disallow adding a
wireless interface to a bridge.
Felix has recently added a four-address mode to the AP
and client side that can be used (after negotiating that
it is possible, which must happen out-of-band by setting
up both sides) for bridging, so allow that case.

Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?
In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.
[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :
vlan_dev_stop() ->
netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
dev_hold() ...
And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...
A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.
dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).
After patch :

Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel
Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is
obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
the same image.
After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
process. It was also working for s390 before.
This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
hibernation.
Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and
hibernation.

Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.
This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs, 00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf
Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:
1) avoid publishing incomplete data
[ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
that is still being written ]
2) guarantee fwd progress
[ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
quiecent states of RCU ]
To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom most writer completes.
Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.
This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

Recent changes in the TX error propagation require additional checking
and masking of values returned from hard_start_xmit(), mainly to
separate cases where skb was consumed. This aim can be simplified by
changing the order of NETDEV_TX and NET_XMIT codes, because the latter
are treated similarly to negative (ERRNO) values.
After this change much simpler dev_xmit_complete() is also used in
sch_direct_xmit(), so it is moved to netdevice.h.
Additionally NET_RX definitions in netdevice.h are moved up from
between TX codes to avoid confusion while reading the TX comment.

This patch implements the NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY command and an get_survey()
ops that a driver can implement. The goal of this command is to allow a
drivers to report channel survey data (e.g. channel noise, channel
occupation).
For now, only the mechanism to report back channel noise has been
implemented.
In future, there will either be a survey-trigger command --- or the existing
scan-trigger command will be enhanced. This will allow user-space to
request survey for arbitrary channels.
Note: any driver that cannot report channel noise should not report
any value at all, e.g. made-up -92 dBm.

Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return
one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for
virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of
layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels.
This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX
codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either
errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value.
In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK
since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of
dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the
selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in
arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION
Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built
out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set
some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on
config options.
This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock
functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and
messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions.
Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function
is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the
existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_*
to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined.
ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on"
restrictions when a config element is selected.
No functional change.

In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the
"clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time
that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds.
The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long
which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit
integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc).
The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function
"clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX.
For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in
nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum
sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for
a 64-bit machine it will be many years.
This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of
"unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit
and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by
clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX. Hence this allows a 32-bit
machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this
patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is
unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all
callers of clockevent_delta2ns().
