>From Andy:
"The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status
message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling.
Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the
__LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling
but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be
polled, we really have to fix this in drivers.
The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to
remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one."
While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really
should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other
similar settings. The PHY reset causes several seconds of unnecessary

Trying to online a new memory section that was added via memory hotplug
sometimes results in crashes when the new pages are added via __free_page.
Reason for that is that the pageblock bitmap isn't initialized and hence
contains random stuff. That means that get_pageblock_migratetype()
returns also random stuff and therefore
in __free_one_page() tries to do a list_add to something that isn't even
necessarily a list.
This happens since 86051ca5eaf5e560113ec7673462804c54284456 ("mm: fix
usemap initialization") which makes sure that the pageblock bitmap gets
only initialized for pages present in a zone. Unfortunately for hot-added
memory the zones "grow" after the memmap and the pageblock memmap have
been initialized. Which means that the new pages have an unitialized
bitmap. To solve this the calls to grow_zone_span() and grow_pgdat_span()
are moved to __add_zone() just before the initialization happens.
The patch also moves the two functions since __add_zone() is the only
caller and I didn't want to add a forward declaration.

add match_strlcpy() us it to make v9fs make uname and remotename parsing more robust
match_strcpy() is a somewhat creepy function: the caller needs to make sure
that the destination buffer is big enough, and when he screws up or
forgets, match_strcpy() happily overruns the buffer.
There's exactly one customer: v9fs_parse_options(). I believe it currently
can't overflow its buffer, but that's not exactly obvious.
The source string is a substing of the mount options. The kernel silently
truncates those to PAGE_SIZE bytes, including the terminating zero. See
compat_sys_mount() and do_mount().
The destination buffer is obtained from __getname(), which allocates from
name_cachep, which is initialized by vfs_caches_init() for size PATH_MAX.
We're safe as long as PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE. PATH_MAX is 4096. As far as
I know, the smallest PAGE_SIZE is also 4096.
Here's a patch that makes the code a bit more obviously correct. It
doesn't depend on PATH_MAX <= PAGE_SIZE.

b43: use the bitrev helpers rather than rolling a private one
The 4-bit reversal flip_4bit is replaced with the bitrev helper
bitrev8 and a 4-bit shift. The B43_WARN is moved to the location
where a register is read from for checking there. The other caller
explicitly passes an array index which is guaranteed to be within range
and so a B43_WARN is not added there.

ath5k: Fix loop variable initializations
In ath5k_tasklet_rx, both status structures 'rxs' and 'rs' are
initialized at the top of the tasklet, but not within the loop.
If the loop is executed multiple times in the tasklet then the
variables may see changes from previous packets.
For TKIP, this results in 'Invalid Michael MIC' errors if two packets
are processed in the tasklet: rxs.flag gets set to RX_DECRYPTED by
mac80211 when it decrypts the first encrypted packet. The subsequent
packet will have RX_DECRYPTED set upon entry to mac80211, so mac80211
will not try to decrypt it.
We currently initialize all but two fields in the structures, so fix
the other two.

mac80211: Set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS for all TX frames
All interfaces should set the IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS flag for all TX frames
which will force the master interface to set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
flag. This in turn will allow drivers to check for that flag before reporting
the TX status to mac80211.
This is very usefull when frames (like beacons, RTS and CTS-to-self) should not
be reported back to mac80211. Later we could add more extensive checks to
exclude more frames from being reported, or let mac80211 decide if it wants
the frame for status reporting or not.
v2: Monitor interfaces should also set IEEE80211_TXPD_REQ_TX_STATUS

mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.
this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.
for signal:
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB - dB difference to unspecified reference point
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
for noise we currently only have dBm:
IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM - dBm, difference to 1mW
if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.
i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

When a hardware scan is completed and another scan is requested in less
than two seconds, iwlwifi will not do the second scan and will pass the
error code -EAGAIN back to mac80211 where it quickly dies. The error
code is not passed along to the calling program wpa_supplicant. After a
timeout, wpa_supplicant will just give up but it will not know why the
scan failed. This is a weakness in the design.
I ran into this issue when I was trying to figure out why it takes more
an a minute for NetworkManager to connect after Networking has been
disabled and then re-enabled. I found a good deal of unnecessary work
being done because mac80211 requests authentication when the interface
is not configured, the ANY mode. I created an experimental passive
(NOTANY) mode for mac80211 to eliminate this case. Then NetworkManager
became so fast that I ran into the iwlwifi 2 second delay next scan
issue which we are discussing.
The patch resolves the problem by bypassing the delay if the scan request
is a direct scan. It should do less harm to the hardware.
