We have two users of trie_leaf_remove, fn_trie_flush and fn_trie_delete

This is assumed to a leftover from an older RCU-take.

[PATCH] sysfs: reinstate exclusion between method calls and attribute unregistration
This patch (as869) reinstates the mutual exclusion between sysfs
attribute method calls and attribute unregistration. The
previously-reported deadlocks have been fixed, and this exclusion is
by far the simplest way to avoid races during driver unbinding.
The check for orphaned read-buffers has been moved down slightly, so
that the remainder of a partially-read buffer will still be available
to userspace even after the attribute has been unregistered.

[PATCH] sysfs and driver core: add callback helper, used by SCSI and S390
This patch (as868) adds a helper routine for device drivers that need
to set up a callback to perform some action in a different process's
context. This is intended for use by attribute methods that want to
unregister themselves or their parent device. Attribute method calls
are mutually exclusive with unregistration, so such actions cannot be
taken directly.
Two attribute methods are converted to use the new helper routine: one
for SCSI device deletion and one for System/390 ccwgroup devices.

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.
It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.

When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address. When this happens
as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to
both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do
anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against
other admin actions.
This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion

[PATCH] Fix VMI and COMPAT_VDSO for 2.6.21
VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware assisted

for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used.
However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical
to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21. We don't expect
this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so
at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled
in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the
problem.
[PATCH] pci: Repair pci_save/restore_state so we can restore one save many times.
Because we do not reserve space for the pci-x and pci-e state in struct
pci dev we need to dynamically allocate it. However because we need
to support restore being called multiple times after a single save
it is never safe to free the buffers we have allocated to hold the
state.
So this patch modifies the save routines to first check to see
if we have already allocated a state buffer before allocating
a new one. Then the restore routines are modified to not free
the state after restoring it. Simple and it fixes some subtle
error path handling bugs, that are hard to test for.

There are two ways pci_save_state and pci_restore_state are used. As
helper functions during suspend/resume, and as helper functions around
a hardware reset event. When used as helper functions around a hardware
reset event there is no reason to believe the calls will be paired, nor
is there a good reason to believe that if we restore the msi state from
before the reset that it will match the current msi state. Since arch
code may change the msi message without going through the driver, drivers
currently do not have enough information to even know when to call
pci_save_state to ensure they will have msi state in sync with the other
kernel irq reception data structures.
It turns out the solution is straight forward, cache the state in the
existing msi data structures (not the magic pci saved things) and
have the msi code update the cached state each time we write to the hardware.
This means we never need to read the hardware to figure out what the hardware
state should be.
By modifying the caching in this manner we get to remove our save_state
routines and only need to provide restore_state routines.
The only fields that were at all tricky to regenerate were the msi and msi-x
control registers and the way we regenerate them currently is a bit dependent
upon assumptions on how we use the allow msi registers to be configured and used
making the code a little bit brittle. If we ever change what cases we allow
or how we configure the msi bits we can address the fragility then.

HID: zeroing of bytes in output fields is bogus
This patch removes bogus zeroing of unused bits in output reports,

What is worse, the zeroing is done in a way which is broken and

_used_ - a device that has multiple fields with one value of
the size 1 bit each might serve as an example of why this is
bogus - the second call of hid_output_report() would clear the
first bit of report, which has already been set up previously.

HID: allocate hid_parser in a proper way
hid_parser is non-trivially large structure, so it should be allocated
using vmalloc() to avoid unsuccessful allocations when memory fragmentation
is too high.
This structue has a very short life, it's destroyed as soon as the report
descriptor has been completely parsed.
This should be considered a temporary solution, until the hid_parser is
rewritten to consume less memory during report descriptor parsing.
Russell King points out that it's obviously bogus, and I have to agree.
Not only does "irq" not even exist in that scope, but we obviously need
to free the irq that we actually requested, and that's IRQ_USB.
