The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed.
Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the

counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be

We get two per-bus sysfs files:
ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe
--w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe
The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.
The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
driver to this device.
Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
bus initiated probing:
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
...
and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
...
Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"
This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.
With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
whatever ...
To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single
flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides
a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling
across the whole flash device.
In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector
numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks.
More information may be found at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html
Partitioning/Re-partitioning
An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is
limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be
viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can
be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the
sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit.
UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are
read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums.
Bad eraseblocks handling
UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical
eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical
eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this.
Scrubbing
On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation,
sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first
they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate,
correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub
the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock
and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of
scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users.
Erase Counts
UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees
higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows
for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are
used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm
itself is exchangeable.
Booting from NAND
For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be
capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND
flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They
usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This
"initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to
load and execute the next boot phase.
Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the
flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program
loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become
corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by
storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume.
UBI volumes vs. static partitions
UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions:
* both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI
volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions;
* both support three basic operations - read, write, erase.
But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional
static MTD partitions:
* there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI
volumes, so the user should not care about this;
* there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes.
So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed
restrictions.
Where can it be found?
Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD
gits.
What are the applications for?
The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi
files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain
binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing
step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content
analysis after a system has crashed..
Who did UBI?
The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas
Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others
were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem
B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver
Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem.
Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on
a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander
Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

Fixed tun/tap driver's handling of hw addresses. The hw address is stored
in both the net_device.dev_addr and tun.dev_addr fields. These fields were
not kept synchronized, and in fact weren't even initialized to the same
value. Now during both init and when performing SIOCSIFHWADDR on the tun
device these values are both updated. However, if SIOCSIFHWADDR is
performed on the net device directly (for instance, setting the hw address
using ifconfig), the tun device does not get updated. Perhaps the
tun.dev_addr field should be removed completely at some point, as it is
redundant and net_device.dev_addr can be used anywhere it is used.

pppoe_flush_dev() kicks all sockets bound to a device that is going down.
In doing so, locks must be taken in the right order consistently (sock lock,
followed by the pppoe_hash_lock). However, the scan process is based on
us holding the sock lock. So, when something is found in the scan we must
release the lock we're holding and grab the sock lock.
This patch fixes race conditions between this code and pppoe_release(),
both of which perform similar functions but would naturally prefer to grab
locks in opposing orders. Both code paths are now going after these locks
in a consistent manner.
pppoe_hash_lock protects the contents of the "pppox_sock" objects that reside
inside the hash. Thus, NULL'ing out the pppoe_dev field should be done
under the protection of this lock.

below you find a patch that fixes a memory leak when a PPPoE socket is
release()d after it has been connect()ed, but before the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl
ever has been called on it.
This is somewhat of a security problem, too, since PPPoE sockets can be
created by any user, so any user can easily allocate all the machine's
RAM to non-swappable address space and thus DoS the system.
Is there any specific reason for PPPoE sockets being available to any
unprivileged process, BTW? After all, you need a packet socket for the
discovery stage anyway, so it's unlikely that any unprivileged process
will ever need to create a PPPoE socket, no? Allocating all session IDs
for a known AC is a kind of DoS, too, after all - with Juniper ERXes,
this is really easy, actually, since they don't ever assign session ids
above 8000 ...

below you find a patch that (hopefully) fixes a race between an interface
going down and a connect() to a peer on that interface. Before,
connect() would determine that an interface is up, then the interface
could go down and all entries referring to that interface in the
item_hash_table would be marked as ZOMBIEs and their references to
the device would be freed, and after that, connect() would put a new
entry into the hash table referring to the device that meanwhile is
down already - which also would cause unregister_netdevice() to wait
until the socket has been release()d.
This patch does not suffice if we are not allowed to accept connect()s
referring to a device that we already acked a NETDEV_GOING_DOWN for
(that is: all references are only guaranteed to be freed after
NETDEV_DOWN has been acknowledged, not necessarily after the
NETDEV_GOING_DOWN already). And if we are allowed to, we could avoid
looking through the hash table upon NETDEV_GOING_DOWN completely and
only do that once we get the NETDEV_DOWN ...
mostrows:
pppoe_flush_dev is called on NETDEV_GOING_DOWN and NETDEV_DOWN to deal with
this "late connect" issue. Ideally one would hope to notify users at the
"NETDEV_GOING_DOWN" phase (just to pretend to be nice). However, it is the
NETDEV_DOWN scan that takes all the responsibility for ensuring nobody is
hanging around at that time.

When csum_offset was introduced we did a conversion from csum to
csum_offset where applicable. A couple of drivers were missed in
this process.
It was harmless to begin with since the two fields coincided. Now
that we've made them different with the addition of csum_start, the
missed drivers must be converted or they can't send packets out at
all that require checksum offload.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,

meaningful as offsets or pointers.
