sysfs: use iget_locked() instead of new_inode()
After dentry is reclaimed, sysfs always used to allocate new dentry
and inode if the file is accessed again. This causes problem with
operations which only pin the inode. For example, if inotify watch is
added to a sysfs file and the dentry for the file is reclaimed, the
next update event creates new dentry and new inode making the inotify
watch miss all the events from there on.
This patch fixes it by using iget_locked() instead of new_inode().
sysfs_new_inode() is renamed to sysfs_get_inode() and inode is
initialized iff the inode is newly allocated. sysfs_instantiate() is

sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect
sysfs: implement sysfs_dirent active reference and immediate disconnect
Opening a sysfs node references its associated kobject, so userland
can arbitrarily prolong lifetime of a kobject which complicates
lifetime rules in drivers. This patch implements active reference and
makes the association between kobject and sysfs immediately breakable.
Now each sysfs_dirent has two reference counts - s_count and s_active.
s_count is a regular reference count which guarantees that the
containing sysfs_dirent is accessible. As long as s_count reference
is held, all sysfs internal fields in sysfs_dirent are accessible
including s_parent and s_name.
The newly added s_active is active reference count. This is acquired
by invoking sysfs_get_active() and it's the caller's responsibility to
ensure sysfs_dirent itself is accessible (should be holding s_count
one way or the other). Dereferencing sysfs_dirent to access objects
out of sysfs proper requires active reference. This includes access
to the associated kobjects, attributes and ops.
The active references can be drained and denied by calling
sysfs_deactivate(). All active sysfs_dirents must be deactivated
after deletion but before the default reference is dropped. This
enables immediate disconnect of sysfs nodes. Once a sysfs_dirent is
deleted, it won't access any entity external to sysfs proper.
Because attr/bin_attr ops access both the node itself and its parent
for kobject, they need to hold active references to both.
sysfs_get/put_active_two() helpers are provided to help grabbing both
references. Parent's is acquired first and released last.
Unlike other operations, mmapped area lingers on after mmap() is
finished and the module implement implementing it and kobj need to
stay referenced till all the mapped pages are gone. This is
accomplished by holding one set of active references to the bin_attr
and its parent if there have been any mmap during lifetime of an
openfile. The references are dropped when the openfile is released.
This change makes sysfs lifetime rules independent from both kobject's
and module's. It not only fixes several race conditions caused by
sysfs not holding onto the proper module when referencing kobject, but
also helps fixing and simplifying lifetime management in driver model
and drivers by taking sysfs out of the equation.

The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux
kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other
drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system
identification information of the BIOS.
Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop
drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads
successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to
automatically load matching drivers on the right machines.
Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been
parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device
/sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are
available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds
attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for
writing udev rules.
This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to
userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI
info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model
identification and good udev integration.
To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should
export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:
These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically
just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all
potentially bad characters stripped.
Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules
and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS
lines.
Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds
support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are
very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds
working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.

block/Kconfig already has its own "menuconfig" so remove these

This is the third submission of the network driver for PS3.
The differences from the previous one are:
- renamed source file names so that their prefix can match
with the module name
- added cbe-oss-dev@ozlabs.org line for MAINTAINER file
- changed some in copyright comments
If there are no more comments, please apply for 2.6.23.
Thank you

Subject: PS3: Ethernet driver

Add Gigabit Ethernet support for the PS3 game console. The module will
be called ps3_gelic.

bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

Cleanup usbnet_probe() return value handling
usbnet_probe() handles a positive return value from the driver bind()
function as success, but will later only setup the status handler if the
return value was zero, leading to confusion. Patch adjusts this to accept
positive values as success in both checks.

Get rid of dubious casts to (void *) which causes a sparse warning.
And move largeish function from inline to the one file that uses the code,
the compiler can then decide to inline it.

Here's a slightly cleaner way of creating the /proc structure for the
