b4a488d182 [BRIDGE]: Fix OOPS when bridging device without ethtool.
Bridge code calls ethtool to get speed. The conversion to using
only ethtool_ops broke the case of devices without ethtool_ops.
This is a new regression in 2.6.23.

Rearranged the switch to a logical order, and use gcc initializer.

Ps: speed should have been part of the network device structure from
    the start rather than burying it in ethtool.

df1c0b8468 [BRIDGE]: Packets leaking out of disabled/blocked ports.
This patch fixes some packet leakage in bridge.  The bridging code was
allowing forward table entries to be generated even if a device was
being blocked. The fix is to not add forwarding database entries
unless the port is active.

The bug arose as part of the conversion to processing STP frames
through normal receive path (in 2.6.17).

62e6f1e8bb fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat()
Alexey Dobriyan reports that maxcpus=1 is still broken in 2.6.23-rc4:
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, x86_64 bootup oopses in show_stat() -
for_each_possible_cpu accesses a per-cpu area which was never set up.

Alexey identified commit 61ec7567db
(ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0") as the origin;
but it's not really to blame, just exposes a bug in 2.6.23-rc1's commit
8b3b295502 (Especially when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU,
avoid needlessy allocating resources for CPUs that can never become available).

rc1's test for max_cpus < 2 in start_kernel() wasn't working because
max_cpus was still NR_CPUS at that point: until rc4 moved the maxcpus
parsing earlier.  Now it sets cpu_possible_map to 1 before allocating
all possible per-cpu areas; then smp_init() expands cpu_possible_map
to cpu_present_map (0xf in my case) later on.

rc1's commit has good intentions, but expects cpu_present_map to be
limited by maxcpus, which is only the case on i386.  cpus_and(possible,
possible,present) might be good, but needs an audit of cpu_present_map
uses - there may well be assumptions that any cpu present is possible.

So stay safe for now and just revert those #ifndef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
optimizations in rc1's commit.

00f1c2df2a SCTP: Fix to encode PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause correctly

it just add the error messages to PROTOCOL VIOLATION error cause, the

ABORT chunk
  Chunk type: ABORT (6)
  Chunk flags: 0x00
  Chunk length: 72 (*1)
  Protocol violation cause
    Cause code: Protocol violation (0x000d)

aac2e68481 [POWERPC] spu_manage: fix spu_unit_number for celleb device tree
This fixes a regression introduced with 2.6.23-rc4 after on some
confusion about the device tree interfaces.

IBM QS21 device trees provide "physical-id", so we changed the code to
run on that and remain compatible with all IBM machines.

However, the Toshiba Celleb device tree provides the "unit-id" property,
which was in the Linux code, but never used in this way on IBM hardware.

Legacy device tree used the reg property for the physical id of an spe.
This patch fixes find_spu_unit_number to look for the spu id in that order.
The length is checked to avoid misinterpretation in case the attributes
unit-id or reg do not contain the id.

f6cf891c4d sched: make the scheduler converge to the ideal latency
de-HZ-ification of the granularity defaults unearthed a pre-existing
property of CFS: while it correctly converges to the granularity goal,
it does not prevent run-time fluctuations in the range of
[-gran ... 0 ... +gran].

With the increase of the granularity due to the removal of HZ
dependencies, this becomes visible in chew-max output (with 5 tasks
running):

 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   44 .   40
 out:  27 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   36 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  2 .  0 | ran:   17 .   13 | per:   46 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40
 out:  29 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:   18 .   13 | per:   47 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 32 | flu:  0 .  0 | ran:    9 .   13 | per:   37 .   40

average slice is the ideal 13 msecs and the period is picture-perfect 40
msecs. But the 'ran' field fluctuates around 13.33 msecs and there's no
mechanism in CFS to keep that from happening: it's a perfectly valid
solution that CFS finds.

to fix this we add a granularity/preemption rule that knows about
the "target latency", which makes tasks that run longer than the ideal
latency run a bit less. The simplest approach is to simply decrease the
preemption granularity when a task overruns its ideal latency. For this
we have to track how much the task executed since its last preemption.

( this adds a new field to task_struct, but we can eliminate that
  overhead in 2.6.24 by putting all the scheduler timestamps into an
  anonymous union. )

with this change in place, chew-max output is fluctuation-less all
around:

 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  2 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  1 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40
 out:  28 . 27. 39 | flu:  0 .  1 | ran:   13 .   13 | per:   41 .   40

this patch has no impact on any fastpath or on any globally observable
scheduling property. (unless you have sharp enough eyes to see
millisecond-level ruckles in glxgears smoothness :-)

5f01d519e6 sched: fix sleeper bonus limit
There is an Amarok song switch time increase (regression) under
hefty load.

What is happening is that sleeper_bonus is never consumed, and only
rarely goes below runtime_limit, so for the most part, Amarok isn't
getting any bonus at all.  We're keeping sleeper_bonus right at
runtime_limit (sched_latency == sched_runtime_limit == 40ms) forever, ie
we don't consume if we're lower that that, and don't add if we're above
it.  One Amarok thread waking (or anybody else) will push us past the
threshold, so the next thread waking gets nada, but will reap pain from
the previous thread waking until we drop back to runtime_limit.  It
looks to me like under load, some random task gets a bonus, and
everybody else pays, whether deserving or not.

This diff fixed the regression for me at any load rate.
