10d024c1b2 [NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.
It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

d73ae55ad4 [PATCH] remove gratuitous space in airo module description
Currently the modinfo looks like:

description:    Support for Cisco/Aironet 802.11 wireless ethernet                    cards.  Direct support for ISA/PCI/MPI cards and support               for PCMCIA when used with airo_cs.

Arguably, it should be cut at the end of the first sentence.
This at least makes it somewhat more legible.

8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

1138c37b66 [PATCH] airo: fix a race causing initialization failures
Matteo Croce reported Aironet initialization failures. They were caused by
a race in airo. airo finds a free interface name, then initializes the card
and finally registers the interface. Another device may get the same name
in the meantime.
The reason airo gets its name early is to use it in informative printks and
to name the resources it requests. The printks will be just fine without
the interface name and the resources can use the driver's name - that's
what other network drivers do anyway.
One of the talkative functions is setup_card(). It is called once before
registration and can be called later again. Let's have an empty dev->name
during the first call, so it doesn't print the ugly "airo(eth%d)" message.

af5b5c9aa9 [PATCH] airo: Make /sys/bus/pci/drivers/airo/{,un}bind work
The way airo.c keeps track of all its devices is complicated and buggy
as well (del_airo_dev forgets to free the memory add_airo_dev allocates).
It's cleaner to use the standard list primitives.
While we're at it, it's not necessary to put PCI cards in the list, because
the kernel already keeps track of them. We can take advantage of it and
use the .remove callback as it was meant to be.
This makes /sys/bus/pci/drivers/airo/{,un}bind work.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

3b4c7d6403 [PATCH] kthread: airo.c
The airo driver is currently caching a pid for later use, but with the
implementation of containers, pids themselves do not uniquely identify a
task.  The driver is also using kernel_thread() which is deprecated in
drivers.

This patch essentially replaces the kernel_thread() with kthread_create().
It also stores the task_struct of the airo_thread rather than its pid.
Since this introduces a second task_struct in struct airo_info, the patch
renames airo_info.task to airo_info.list_bss_task.

As an extension of these changes, the patch further:

	 - replaces kill_proc() with kthread_stop()
	 - replaces signal_pending() with kthread_should_stop()
	 - removes thread completion synchronisation which is handled by
	   kthread_stop().

Therefore, AIRO_CS also has to CRYPTO.

Additionally, this patch removes the #ifdef's for the non-compiling
CRYPTO=n case from drivers/net/wireless/airo.c.

d6a13a24b7 [PATCH] drivers/net/wireless: correct reported ssid lengths
ESSIDs can technically include NULL characters.  Drivers should not be
adjusting the length of the ESSID before reporting it in their
SIOCGIWESSID handlers.  Breaks stuff like wpa_supplicant.  Note that ipw
drivers, which seem to currently be the "most correct", don't have this
problem.

f89b232173 [PATCH] airo.c: add support for IW_ENCODE_TEMP (i.e. xsupplicant)
Hello Jeff,

this patch changes causes the airo driver to not reset the card when a
temporary WEP key is set, when the IW_ENCODE_TEMP flag is used.  This is
needed for xsupplicant as 802.1x, LEAP, etc. change WEP keys frequently
after authentication and resetting the card causes infinite
reauthentication.

Javier and Jean agree with the patch, Javier suggested I send this to
you, can you apply this?

Thanks.

1d97f38448 [wireless airo] reset card in init
without this patch after an rmmod, modprobe the card won't work anymore
until the next reboot.

This patch seem safe to apply for all cards as the bsd driver already do
that.

I had to add a timeout because strange things happen (issuecommand will
fail) if the card is already reseted (after a reboot).

PS : it seems there are missing reset when leaving monitor mode...
