Fix race condition during destruction calls to avoid possibility of
accessing object after it has been freed. Instead of waking up a wait
queue directly, which is susceptible to a race where the object is
freed between the reference count going to 0 and the wake_up(), use a
completion to wait in the function doing the freeing.

The ipath driver's table of PCI IDs needs a { 0, } entry at the end.
This makes all of the device aliases visible to userspace so hotplug
loads the module for all supported devices. Without the patch,
modinfo ipath_core only shows:

[PATCH] scx200_acb: Fix for the CS5535 errata
[PATCH] scx200_acb: Fix resource name use after free
[PATCH] scx200_acb: Fix return on init error
This reverts commit 56cf6504fc.
Both Erik Mouw and Andrew Vasquez independently pinpointed this commit
as causing problems, where the slab cache for a driver is never released
(most obviously causing problems when immediately re-loading that
driver, resulting in a "kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache <xyz>"
message, but it can also cause other trouble).
James Bottomley dug into it, and reports:
"OK, here's the scoop. The problem patch adds a get of driverfs_dev in
add_disk(), but doesn't put it again until disk_release() (which occurs
on final put_disk() of the gendisk).
However, in SCSI, the driverfs_dev is the sdev_gendev. That means
there's a reference held on sdev_gendev until final disk put.
Unfortunately, we use the driver model driver_remove to trigger
del_gendisk (which removes the gendisk from visibility and decrements
the refcount), so we've introduced an unbreakable deadlock in the
reference counting with this.
I suggest simply reversing this patch at the moment. If Russell and
Jens can tell me what they're trying to do I'll see if there's another
way to do it."
so hereby the patch gets reverted, waiting for a better fix.

If the device is disconnected while serial_open() is executing and

kref_put() call in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will free the memory

The subsequent dereferences in the 'bailout_kref_put' label will be

Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,
when the driver asks for a requeue. This is both silly from a logical
point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn
-> requeue -> unplug -> request_fn loop and crash on stack overrun.
Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how
blk_start_queue() works.
This patch fixed a real problem with SLES10 and lpfc, and it could hit
any SCSI lld that returns non-zero from it's ->queuecommand() handler.

Eric Biederman points out that we can't take the task_lock while holding
tasklist_lock for writing, because another CPU that holds the task lock
might take an interrupt that then tries to take tasklist_lock for writing.
Which would be a nasty deadlock, with one CPU spinning forever in an
interrupt handler (although admittedly you need to really work at
triggering it ;)
Since the ptrace_attach() code is special and very unusual, just make it
be extra careful, and use trylock+repeat to avoid the possible deadlock.

661FX7MI-S motherboard which uses the SiS 661FX chipset. The patch adds
an entry to mii_chip_info for the transceiver.
The PHY ids were found using the sis900_c_122.diff patch from
http://brownhat.org/sis900.html but that patch didn't solve the problem,
because the PHY at address 1 was already being chosen.
Without my patch, when bursts of packets arrive from other hosts on a
LAN, the interface dropped one roughly 10% of the time, causing
retransmits. There were fifth second pauses in refresh of large xterms,
and it made Netrek suck. I can provide further test data.
Workaround in lieu of patch is to use mii-tool to advertise
100baseTx-HD, then force renegotiation.
I wasn't able to identify the actual transceiver, so the description
field is a guess.
This patch is similar to Artur Skawina's patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114297516729079&w=2
I'm not sure, but I wonder if it means the default behaviour should be
changed, so as to better handle future transceivers.

A race condition exists in mptfc between the thread registering a device
with the fc transport and the scan work generated by the transport.
This race existed prior to the application of the mptfc bug fix patch.
mptfc_register_dev() calls fc_remote_port_add() with the FC_RPORT_ROLE_TARGET
bit set in the rport ids passed to the function. Having this bit set causes
fc_remote_port_add() to schedule a scan of the device.
This scan can execute before mptfc_register_dev() can fill in the dd_data
in the rport structure. When this happens, mptfc_target_alloc() will fail
because dd_data is null.
Attached is a patch which fixes the problem. The patch changes the rport ids
passed to fc_remote_port_add() to not have the TARGET bit set. This prevents
the scan from being scheduled. After mptfc_register_dev() fills in the rport
dd_data field, fc_remote_port_rolechg() is called, changing the role of the
rport to TARGET. Thus, the scan is scheduled after dd_data is filled
in which prevents the failure in mptfc_target_alloc().

This is a fix for the CS5535 errata 111:
When the SMBus controller tries to access a non-existing device, it sets
the NEGACK bit, SMBus I/O offset 01h[4], to 1 after it detects no
acknowledge at the ninth clock. The specification states that the bit
can be cleared by writing a 1 to it, but under certain circumstances it
is possible for this bit to not clear.
Writing a 0 to the bit resets the internal state machine and clears the
issue.
Since all writable bits in ACBST are W1C bits (write-one-to-clear) the
second write doesn't affect any other logic except the buggy NEGACK
state machine. The second write clears an internal register which is
responsible for "overwriting" the NEGACK bit in ACBST.

Fix races in in destroying various objects. If a destroy routine
waits for an object to become free by doing
wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount));
/* now clean up and destroy the object */
and another place drops a reference to the object by doing
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount))
wake_up(&obj->wait);
then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final
freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the
wake_up(). And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be
called on part of the already-freed object.
Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old
integers protected by a spinlock. This makes it possible to do the
decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears
as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue.
While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being
cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it. So
there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's
perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.
