[PATCH] mac80211: remove rtnl locking in ieee80211_sta.c
The rtnl is held in ieee80211_sta.c to prevent some potential

potential for deadlocks on interface down. This patch removes the
rtnl locking to eliminate the deadlocks.

[PATCH] mac80211: regulatory domain cleanup
Currently, a function misnamed ieee80211_init_client() is used to handle
regulatory domain control. It is called from
ieee80211_register_hwmode(), which typically runs 2 or 3 times
(802.11a/b/g), but each time it iterates over all the modes.
This patch cleans this up and removes the confusion:
ieee80211_init_client was effectively renamed to
ieee80211_set_default_regdomain and is now run on a per-mode basis
(doesn't have to deal with netdevs). I also moved the regdomain handling
code into its own file and added some documentation.

md: change bitmap_unplug and others to void functions
bitmap_unplug only ever returns 0, so it may as well be void. Two callers try
to print a message if it returns non-zero, but that message is already printed
by bitmap_file_kick.
write_page returns an error which is not consistently checked. It always
causes BITMAP_WRITE_ERROR to be set on an error, and that can more
conveniently be checked.
When the return of write_page is checked, an error causes bitmap_file_kick to
be called - so move that call into write_page - and protect against recursive
calls into bitmap_file_kick.
bitmap_update_sb returns an error that is never checked.
So make these 'void' and be consistent about checking the bit.

fb: epson1355fb: kill off dead sh support
The SH board that was the only user for this code was removed entirely from
the kernel quite some time ago, so there's no reason to leave the stubs in
place. Additionally this driver was completely broken anyways, so there's
not really a lot of point in fixing it up either.
I can't imagine that this driver gets any testing on ARM either, given that
FB_BLANK_UNBLANKING doesn't exist, and kills the build regardless of which
platform is compiling. This fixes that, too.
It wouldn't be a lot of work to finish the platform device conversion and
go with a generic 8-bit read/write_reg and kill off the architecture
dependence completely, should someone have any use for this driver.

fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebuffer
This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates
the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers much easier,
since you can properly clean them up before unloading.
[adaplas]
unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's
module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is
holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver. With this change,
it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed.
Additions from the original: If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if
one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the
outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map). Once only the outgoing driver remains,
then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is
set to y).
It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release()
just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these
drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().
Use set_con2fb_map() to select the primary display driver instead of using
unbind_con_driver() and bind_con_driver(). Using the former is much simpler
and safer than the current one.
set_con2fb_map() has regressed for some time. Using fbcon=map:01, for
example, works only if there is only 1 working framebuffer. Trying to do a
set_con2fb_map() on a non-allocated vc will freeze the system.
- ensure that succeeding drivers after the first gets mapped to the console
- remove fbcon_preset_display() and modify fbcon_set_display() to include the
former's functionality
- ensure that binding and unbinding succeeds if multiple drivers are mapped to
the console
fbcon: allow fbcon to use the primary display driver
Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the
fb_is_primary_device() arch-specific helper. If a a primary adapter is
detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind
using the new adapter. This requires that bind_/unbind_con_driver() be made
public.
Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV),
this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

trident_write_voice_regs() was getting called with the card spinlock held in

Explanation: we allocate a new virtual channel in open, and then we frob some
hardware registers (in write_voice_regs) for that channel. But the hardware
registers are shared with other channels, which may be trying to frob the some
registers (albeit for another channel) via ioctl(SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED).
