94cbc203be [S390] cio: fix wrong buffer access in cio_ignore_write
Writing only spaces to /proc/cio_ignore will cause a buffer overflow
since the size_t value i will not become negative and so buf[-1UL] is
accessed. Change the value of i to ssize_t.

98c1c68252 [S390] cio/crw: add/fix locking
The crw_unregister_handler uses xchg + synchronize_sched when
unregistering a crw_handler.
This doesn't protect crw_collect_info to potentially jump to NULL since
it has unlocked code like this:

if (crw_handlers[i])
        crw_handlers[i](NULL, NULL, 1);

So add a mutex which protects the crw handler array for changes.

Use ccw_device_set_notoper() (which also deletes the device
timer and disables the subchannel) instead of simply setting
the state to DEV_STATE_NOT_OPER in the generic not operational

The common I/O layer may encounter a situation where the
device number of a ccw device has changed or a device
driver doesn't want to keep a formerly disconnected device
becoming operational again. Instead of using device_del()/

92e6ecf392 [S390] Fix hypervisor detection for KVM
Currently we use the cpuid (via STIDP instruction) to recognize LPAR,
z/VM and KVM.
The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and
if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system
will replace bits 0-7 with FF.

KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested
guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store
System Information) instruction, which return information about the
hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2.

This patch changes the detection routine of Linux to use STSI instead
of STIDP. This detection is earlier than bootmem, we have to use a
static buffer. Since STSI expects a 4kb block (4kb aligned) this
patch also changes the init.data alignment for s390. As this section
will be freed during boot, this should be no problem.

Patch is tested with LPAR, z/VM, KVM on LPAR, and KVM under z/VM.

f028f3b2f9 loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()
With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled

$ losetup /dev/loop0 file
$ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0

$ losetup -d /dev/loop1
$ losetup -d /dev/loop0

triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

I think this warning is a false positive.

Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after
acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of
a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the
file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a
circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not
possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock.

So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep
not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be
to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some
other real bugs.

@@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode,
 	struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data;
 	int err;

-	mutex_lock(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex);
+	mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1);
 	switch (cmd) {
 	case LOOP_SET_FD:
 		err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg);

Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be
a better solution.

Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex
held, so no lockdep annotation is required.

If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the
LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside
each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

bb3daa4a59 ixgbe: Allow Priority Flow Control settings to survive a device reset
When changing DCB parameters, ixgbe needs to have the MAC reset.  The way
the flow control code is setup today, PFC will be disabled on a reset.
This patch adds a new flow control type for PFC, and then has the netlink
layer take care of toggling which type of flow control to enable.

a3c69fef7a e1000e: fix close interrupt race
As noticed by Alan Cox, it is possible for e1000e to exit its interrupt
handler or NAPI with interrupts enabled even when the driver is unloading or
being configured administratively down.

a72d2b2cc6 e1000e: fix loss of multicast packets
e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each
time a multicast address is added.  The flow goes something like

1) stack adds one multicast address
2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to
   driver
3) driver clears entire list in hardware
4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop

This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming
process.

reference with test program:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread

Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program.

This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in
one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle.  It would still
be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during
reprogramming.
