2446304dd6 IB/mlx4: Pass send queue sizes from userspace to kernel
Pass the number of WQEs for the send queue and their size from userspace
to the kernel to avoid having to keep the QP size calculations in sync 
between the kernel driver and libmlx4.  This fixes a bug seen with the 
current mlx4_ib driver and current libmlx4 caused by a difference in the 
calculated sizes for SQ WQEs.  Also, this gives more flexibility for 
userspace to experiment with using multiple WQE BBs for a single SQ WQE.

65adfa911a IB/mlx4: Fix RESET to RESET and RESET to ERROR transitions
According to the IB spec, a QP can be moved from RESET back to RESET
or to the ERROR state, but mlx4 firmware does not support this and
returns an error if we try.  Fix the RESET to RESET transition by
just returning 0 without doing anything, and fix RESET to ERROR by
moving the QP from RESET to INIT with dummy parameters and then
transitioning from INIT to ERROR.

26bbf13ce1 IPoIB: Handle P_Key table reordering
SM reconfiguration or failover possibly causes a shuffling of the values
in the P_Key table. Right now, IPoIB only queries for the P_Key index
once when it creates the device QP, and hence there are problems if the
index of a P_Key value changes.  Fix this by using the PKEY_CHANGE event
to trigger a recheck of the P_Key index.

8b8c8bca3a IB/ipath: Fix potential deadlock with multicast spinlocks
Lockdep found the following potential deadlock between mcast_lock and
n_mcast_grps_lock: mcast_lock is taken from both interrupt context and
process context, so spin_lock_irqsave() must be used to take it.
n_mcast_grps_lock is only taken from process context, so at first it
seems safe to take it with plain spin_lock(); however, it also nests
inside mcast_lock, and hence we could deadlock:

  cpu A                                   cpu B
    ipath_mcast_add():
      spin_lock_irq(&mcast_lock);

                                            ipath_mcast_detach():
                                              spin_lock(&n_mcast_grps_lock);

                                            <enter interrupt>

                                            ipath_mcast_find():
                                              spin_lock_irqsave(&mcast_lock);

      spin_lock(&n_mcast_grps_lock);

Fix this by using spin_lock_irq() to take n_mcast_grps_lock.

e9ca75b535 cciss: Fix pci_driver.shutdown while device is still active
Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem
on a cciss device is still active.  The cciss_remove_one function only
properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its
users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called.

This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern
used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches.
It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the
__devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as
the pci_driver.shutdown method.

As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch

	[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
	commit: 071b638689

was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that.

From the changelog:

	after this patch:
		...
		delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.

		The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,

it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after
cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this
work_struct.

It turns out the kernel was correct, and the gcc complaint was a gcc
bug.  The preferred stack boundary is expressed not in bytes, but in the
the log2() of the preferred boundary, so "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2"
is in fact exactly what we want, but a gcc that is compiled for x86-64
will consider it an error (because the 64-bit calling sequence says that
the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to
generate 32-bit code.

The hardware must not see that is given ownership of a buffer until it is
completely written, and when the driver receives ownership of a buffer,
it must ensure that any other reads to the buffer reflect its final
state.  Thus, I/O barriers are added where required.

5bb96e9f24 ibm_emac: improved PHY support
Original patch is from Jeff Haran  <jharan@brocade.com> with my minor style
fixes. His comments follow:

The first problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
autonegotiation, genmii_setup_aneg(). The original code does a
read/modify/write of the autonegotiation advertizement register (reg 4),
followed by a read/modify/write of the control register (reg 0). While
the original code follows the proper procedure as per reading the IEEE
specs, what I found is that on at least one PHY model (National DP83843)
the read of the control register comes back with the soft reset bit set
(bit 15). Because of the read/modify/write operation, this causes the
write to write a 1 back to the reset bit, which initiates a software
reset of the PHY. This software reset causes the PHY to return to its
power up state which advertizes all modes of operation, thus negating
the write to the autoneg advertizement register. The modification is to
spin reading the control register until the soft reset bit is clear
before doing the modify/write.
The second problem was in the function that configures the PHY for
forced operation, genmii_setup_forced(). The original code initiates a
software reset operation via a write of a 1 to bit 15 of the control
register (reg 0), but then proceeds to do a second write to that same
register without waiting until that reset bit is cleared by the PHY
itself (which according to the IEEE specs indicates that the PHY reset
is complete). This is a violation of how one is supposed to use this
software reset feature of these PHYs and I believe was the cause of
mysterious, difficult to reproduce link failures that we've observed on
some of our systems that use this driver. The fix is to modify the
function so that it spins waiting for the reset bit to clear after doing
the soft reset and before doing the subsequent write.

50432cb534 sky2: memory barriers change
Do some memory barrier changes for safety/perfomance:
Don't need read after update to index, mmiowb() followed by read at end
of irq is sufficient.
