0da2f0f164 potential compiler error, irqfunc caller sites update
In 7d12e780e0 David Howells performed
this evolution:
 "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers"

He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this
extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of
those functions.  The reason the modifications was not properly done on all
drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for
AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not
set or inside #if 0.

Here is the semantic patch that found the occurences
and fixed the problem.

The EMAC driver, in drivers/net/ibm_emac, for the embedded Ethernet
MAC found in PowerPC 4xx embedded chips is not suitable for
arch/powerpc.  It will not build because it relies on the old arch/ppc
OCP mechanism.  BenH has a new, device-tree aware version of the
driver which will work in arch/powerpc, but until it's merged, this
patch will disable the old, non-building version.

cbcdd772ff smsc-ircc2: bypass PNP detection until we get the quirks worked out
Don't use PNP detection by default yet.  We have some PNP and BIOS issues
to work out first.

Sample problem on a Toshiba Portege 4000: the SMCf010 device is handed off
disabled.  We assign I/O ports originally assigned to the SMCf010 to a
PCMCIA device instead.  We enable the SMCf010, configuring it to use
disjoint ports, but _SRS doesn't work correctly, so the device doesn't
work.

59faba1b31 Fix Kconfig dependency problems wrt boolean menuconfigs
If one has a dependency chain (tristate)FOO depends on (bool)BAR depends on
(tristate)BAZ, build problems will result.  If BAZ=m, then BAR can be set
y, which allows FOO=y.  It's possible to have FOO=y && BAZ=m, which
wouldn't be allowed if FOO depended directly on BAZ.  In effect, the bool
promotes the tristate from m to y.

This ends up causing a problem with several menuconfigs that look like:

menuconfig BAR
	bool
	depends on BAZ [tristate]
if BAR
config FOO
	tristate
endif

The solution used here is to add the dependencies of BAR to the if
statement, so that items in the if block will gain a direct
non-bool-promoted dependency on BAZ.  This is how it would work if a menu
was used instead of an if block.

7c31d2f59c smsc-ircc2: skip preconfiguration for PNP devices
If we rely on the device resources from PNPBIOS, we also have to rely on
the BIOS to configure any bridges on the way to the device.

Using the PNPBIOS resources but changing the configuration of a bridge
behind the back of the firmware is likely to make things inconsistent.

This patch addresses part of the 2.6.22 regression:
    "no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip"
It fixes smsc-ircc2 PNP device detection on HP nx5000 laptops.
Other laptops, including HP nc6000, HP nc8000, HP nw8000, and Toshiba
Portege 4000, still need PNP quirks to make this work.

With "smsc-ircc2.nopnp", we do the legacy device probe, including manual
bridge preconfiguration, as before.

The following patch (based on a patch from Stephen Hemminger
<shemminger@linux-foundation.org>) removes use after free conditions in
the unregister path for the bonding master.  Without this patch, an
operation of the form "echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters"
would trigger a NULL pointer dereference in sysfs.  I was not able to
induce the failure with the non-sysfs code path, but for consistency I
updated that code as well.

	I also did some testing of the bonding /proc file being open
while the bond is being deleted, and didn't see any problems there.

3a2c892daa spidernet: checksum and ethtool
It doesn't look like spidernet hardware can really checksum all protocols,
the code looks like it does IPV4 only.  If so, it should use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM
instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

The driver doesn't need it's own get/set for ethtool tx csum, and it
should use the standard ethtool_op_get_link.

128c6e2e51 spidernet: turn off descriptor chain end interrupt.
At some point, the transmit descriptor chain end interrupt (TXDCEINT)
was turned on. This is a mistake; and it damages small packet
transmit performance, as it results in a huge storm of interrupts.
Turn it off.

c3d1182a53 spidernet: silence the ramfull messages
Although the previous patch resolved issues with hangs when the
RX ram full interrupt is encountered, there are still situations
where lots of RX ramfull interrupts arrive, resulting in a noisy
log in syslog. There is no need for this.

2bf27a0d49 spidernet: Don't terminate the RX ring
The terminated RX ring will cause trouble during the RX ram full
conditions, leading to a hung driver, as the hardware can't find
the next descr.  There is no real reason to terminate the RX ring;
it doesn't make the operation any smooother, and it does
require an extra sync. So don't do it.

4c4bd5a97a spidernet: Cure RX ram full bug
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel
is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows
a detailed description of the bug and the fix.

As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than
the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason,
the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA
pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition,
ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire.
The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM.
When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt
indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit
will be set in GHIINT1STS).  When te RX ram full condition occurs,
a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled.
This section describes the special handling for this condition.

When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring.
In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had
stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain
descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead
it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a
deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr,
which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for
this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr,
and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there
is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill,
while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become
empty.

A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the
problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:

net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded!
net eth1: Total number of descrs=256
net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255
net eth1: Chain head is at 255
net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000
net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1
net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001
net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101
net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000

Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is
marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there
is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption
that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty,
as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to
become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen.

The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full".
Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has
halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked
"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is
descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked,
and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing
to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data.

This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr()
routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination
of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that
the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy
network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will
search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume
operations there.  Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there
is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

83d35145c4 spidernet: null out skb pointer after its been used.
Avoid kernel crash in mm/slab.c due to double-free of pointer.

If the ethernet interface is brought down while there is still
RX traffic in flight, the device shutdown routine can end up
trying to double-free an skb, leading to a crash in mm/slab.c
Avoid the double-free by nulling out the skb pointer.
