ucc_geth: Fix IRQ freeing code in ucc_geth_open()
open() routine calls stop() in case of errors, the function will try
to free the requested IRQ. But we don't know if it was actually
requested, so the code might issue bogus free_irq(0, dev) call.
Fix this by rearranging the code so that now request_irq() is the last
call in the open() routine, and move free_irq() into the close().

ucc_geth: Fix TX watchdog timeout handling
The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways:
- It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then
calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will
re-init the Fast UCC structure).
- It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong,
since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup()
allocates things with GFP_KERNEL.
- It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least
MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover
from timeouts w/o the reset.
So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the
timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and
open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see
that the driver actually survive the timeouts.

Currently the routines wait for the various bits w/o an assumption that

With this patch we'll wait the graceful stop for 100 ms, and then will
simply exit. There is nothing* we can do about that, but it's OK since

Implementing discard counters for the NIU driver turned out to be more
complicated than first assumed.
The discard counters for the NIU neptune chip are only 16-bit (even
though this is a 64-bit chip). These 16-bit counters can overflow
quickly, especially considering this is a 10Gbit/s ethernet card.
The overflow indication bit is, unfortunatly, not usable as the
counter value does not wrap, but remains at max value 0xFFFF.
Resulting in lost counts until the counter is reset.
The read and reset scheme also poses a problem. Both in theory and in
practice counters can be lost in between reading nr64() and clearing
the counter nw64(). For this reason, the number of counter clearings
nw64() is limited/reduced. On the fast-path the counters are only
syncronized once it exceeds 0x7FFF. When read by userspace, its
syncronized fully.

enc28j60: reduce the number of spi transfers in enc28j60_set_bank()
A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each
SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of
SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every
register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that
enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways:
1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all
banks
2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit
changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two
According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in
about 25%.

net: Add Generic Receive Offload infrastructure
This patch adds the top-level GRO (Generic Receive Offload) infrastructure.
This is pretty similar to LRO except that this is protocol-independent.
Instead of holding packets in an lro_mgr structure, they're now held in
napi_struct.
For drivers that intend to use this, they can set the NETIF_F_GRO bit and
call napi_gro_receive instead of netif_receive_skb or just call netif_rx.
The latter will call napi_receive_skb automatically. When napi_gro_receive
is used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or
call napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives
__napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete.
Protocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in
order to participate in this scheme.
In addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held
packets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero
if it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may
match, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet
must not be merged with the new packet.
Once gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet,
the held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be
merged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to
the existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into
the existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes
it impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where
the merged skb should be returned.
Whenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive
function should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow. Note that if an skb
merely matches an existing entry but can't be merged with it, then
this shouldn't be set.
If gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging,
it should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush.
Held packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by
napi_complete and napi_rx_complete.
Currently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO.
The list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries. In future, this may be
expanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.

net: Add frag_list support to GSO
This patch allows GSO to handle frag_list in a limited way for the
purposes of allowing packets merged by GRO to be refragmented on
output.
Most hardware won't (and aren't expected to) support handling GRO
frag_list packets directly. Therefore we will perform GSO in
software for those cases.
However, for drivers that can support it (such as virtual NICs) we
may not have to segment the packets at all.
Whether the added overhead of GRO/GSO is worthwhile for bridges
and routers when weighed against the benefit of potentially
increasing the MTU within the host is still an open question.
However, for the case of host nodes this is undoubtedly a win.

net: Add frag_list support to skb_segment
This patch adds limited support for handling frag_list packets in
skb_segment. The intention is to support GRO (Generic Receive Offload)
packets which will be constructed by chaining normal packets using
frag_list.
As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS
boundaries. This is checked using BUG_ON.
As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets,
namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.

cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remount
When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list,
but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which
point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented).
Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being
empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can
result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being
removed-but-not-freed cgroup.
The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of
subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This
bug can be reproduced via:
ACPI toshiba: only register rfkill if bt is enabled
Part of the rfkill initialization was done whenever BT was on or not. The
following patch checks for BT presence before registering the rfkill to
the input layer. Some minor cleanups (> 80 char lines) were also added in
the process.
