8b9ab02b69 IPoIB: Fix build now that neighbour destructor is in neigh_params
Fix the IPoIB build (which is broken in net-2.6.17 because of my
screw-up, which left out this chunk in ipoib_multicast.c). 
The neighbour destructor is now in neigh_params, so we don't
need to clear it in the ops structure.

f36e1793e2 IB/umad: Add support for large RMPP transfers
Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers.  The old
code supports transfers only as large as a single contiguous kernel
memory allocation.  This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when
sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for
larger transfers.

  Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing
  to one large buffer in kernel space.

  Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments,
  (multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2.
  Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested
  segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally,
  save pointer to last-acked segment.  When retrying, retrieve
  segments for resending relative to this pointer.  When updating last
  ack, start at this pointer.

bigger than 80 KB in DDR mode if memory keys are formatted in a

9acf6a8570 IPoIB: Fix multicast race between canceling and completing
ipoib_mcast_stop_thread currently tests mcast->query and if it is
NULL, does not perform wait_for_completion on the mcast and frees the
mcast object directly.

However, since both operations are done without locking, it is
possible that ipoib_mcast_join_complete is in progress on this mcast
object and has set mcast->query to NULL already.

Solve this by:
- taking priv->lock before we change mcast->query in ipoib_mcast_join_complete,
  and keeping it until we no longer need the mcast object
- taking priv->lock around mcast->query test in ipoib_mcast_stop_thread

7343b231f2 IPoIB: Close race in setting mcast->ah
ipoib_mcast_send() tests mcast->ah twice.  If this value is changed
between these two points, we leak an skb.  However,
ipoib_mcast_join_finish() sets mcast->ah with no locking, so it could
race against ipoib_mcast_send().

As a solution, take priv->lock around assignment to mcast->ah thus
making sure ipoib_mcast_send() (which also takes priv->lock) is not in
flight.

14abdffcc0 IB/mthca: Write FW commands through doorbell page
This patch is checks whether the HCA supports posting FW commands
through a doorbell page (user access region 0, or "UAR0").  If this is
supported, the driver maps UAR0 and uses it for FW commands. This can
be controlled by the value of a writable module parameter
fw_cmd_doorbell.  When the parameter is 0, the commands are posted
through HCR using the old method; otherwise if HCA is capable commands
go through UAR0.

This use of UAR0 to post commands eliminates the need for polling the
"go" bit prior to posting a new command. Since reading from a PCI
device is much more expensive then issuing a posted write, it is
expected that issuing FW commands this way will provide better CPU
utilization.

The size of struct ib_uverbs_create_qp_resp is not even multiple of 8
bytes.  This causes problems for low-level drivers that add private
data after the structure: 32-bit userspace will look in the wrong
place for a response from a 64-bit kernel.  Fix this by adding a
reserved field.  Also, bump the ABI version because this changes the
size of a structure.

The call to ib_get_agent_port() shouldn't be possible to fail when
smi_check_local_dr_smp() is called from ib_mad_recv_done_handler().
When it is called from handle_outgoing_dr_smp(), the device and
port_num come from mad_agent_priv so I assume the call to
ib_get_agent_port() shouldn't fail either.  In either case,
smi_check_local_smp() only uses the mad_agent pointer to check that
mad_agent->device->process_mad is not NULL.  The device pointer would
have to be the same as the one passed to smi_check_local_dr_smp()
since that pointer is used later instead of the one checked in
smi_check_local_smp().

4a29cc2e50 [TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2
The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.

For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
the 5714.

All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.

Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing

Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported

2d61b86775 [PATCH] disable unshare(CLONE_VM) for now
sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm).  This is not enough if we have
mm->core_waiters.

This patch is a temporary fix for soon to be released 2.6.16.

[ Checked with Uli: "I'm not planning to use unshare(CLONE_VM).  It's
  not needed for any functionality planned so far.  What we (as in Red
  Hat) need unshare() for now is the filesystem side." ]

a904f74785 [MIPS] Sibyte: Fix race in sb1250_gettimeoffset().
From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
    
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
    
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
    
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter.  This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic
fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
    
The timers need to be loaded with 1 less than the desired interval not
the interval itself.
