bonding: modify sysfs support to permit multiple loads
The existing code would blindly attempt to create the
bonding_masters file (in /sys/class/net) every time the module was
loaded. When the module is loaded multiple times (which is the
historical method used by initscripts and sysconfig to create multiple
bonding interfaces), this caused load failure of the second module load
attempt, as the creation request would fail.
This changes the code to note the failure, arrange to not remove
the bonding_masters file upon module exit, and then return success.
Bonding interfaces created by the second or subsequent loads of
the module will not exist in bonding_masters. This is not a significant
change, as previously only the interfaces from the most recent load of
the module would be listed. Both situations are less than optimal, but
this case permits compatibility with existing distro configuration
scripts, and is consistent.
Note that previously, the sysfs create request would overwrite
the exsting bonding_masters file and succeed, allowing multiple loads of
the module. The sysfs code has recently changed to return an error if
the file being created already exists.

This chip is found on at least one counterfeit Encore ENL832-TX-RENT NIC
[1], which came with a mini-CD with the 2.4 driver. A slightly older
version of the driver was found at [2]. The main difference between them
is that the newer one has a small bugfix in the RX path, a lot of
gratuitous renaming of functions, all the printable strings changed to show
as a "Rsltek 8139D" [sic], and a PCI ID of 8139 instead of 2031. The
driver on this patch is a rewrite of the vendor drivers (based mostly on
the older one).
Changes from the previous patch sent to netdev:
- Use MMIO instead of PIO
- Changed TX bounce buffers allocation
- Use skb_copy_and_csum_dev
- Several small bug fixes
- Tested for more than just a few minutes each time

The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the

problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

flush_workqueue() is not allowed to be called in the softirq context.
However, aio_complete() called from I/O interrupt can potentially call
put_ioctx with last ref count on ioctx and triggers bug. It is simply
incorrect to perform ioctx freeing from aio_complete.
The bug is trigger-able from a race between io_destroy() and aio_complete().
A possible scenario:
The real problem is that the condition check of ctx->reqs_active in
wait_for_all_aios() is incorrect that access to reqs_active is not
being properly protected by spin lock.
This patch adds that protective spin lock, and at the same time removes
all duplicate ref counting for each kiocb as reqs_active is already used
as a ref count for each active ioctx. This also ensures that buggy call
to flush_workqueue() in softirq context is eliminated.

[SCSI] sd: udev accessing an uninitialized scsi_disk field results in a crash
sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the
sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode
udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart
attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as
the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the
attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the
sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper,
this results in a crash.
The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the
necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

libata: Initialize nbytes for internal sg commands
