In active-backup mode, the current bonding code duplicates IGMP
traffic to all slaves, so that switches are up to date in case of a
failover from an active to a backup interface. If bonding then fails
back to the original active interface, it is likely that the "active
slave" switch's IGMP forwarding for the port will be out of date until
some event occurs to refresh the switch (e.g., a membership query).
This patch alters the behavior of bonding to no longer flood
IGMP to all ports, and to issue IGMP JOINs to the newly active port at
the time of a failover. This insures that switches are kept up to date
for all cases.
"GOELLESCH Niels" <niels.goellesch@eurocontrol.int> originally
reported this problem, and included a patch. His original patch was
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally remove the existing IGMP flood
behavior, use RCU, streamline code paths, fix trailing white space, and
adjust for style.

The ARP validation code only needs ARPs for the bonding device.
Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
Bonding can erroneously register the same packet_type to receive
ARPs (for use by ARP validation): once at device open time, and once via
sysfs. Since sysfs can change the validate setting (and thus register
or unregister) at any time, a flag is needed to synchronize with device
open in order to avoid double registrations, and the simplest place is
within the packet_type structure itself. Double unregister is not an
issue.

It is based on the assumption that an interface's ifindex is basically
an alias for a local MAC address, so incoming packets now are matched
to sockets based on remote MAC, session id, and ifindex of the
interface the packet came in on/the socket was bound to by connect().
For relayed packets, the socket that's used for relaying is selected
based on destination MAC, session ID and the interface index of the
interface whose name currently matches the name requested by userspace
as the relaying source interface.

This version moves the medium variable to the card specific structure and

This patch adds improved version of enable_fiber for both the 5421 and
the 5461 phy. It is now possible to specify with these wether you want
autonegotiation or not. This is needed for bladecenter switches where
some expect autonegotiation and some dont seem to like this at all.
Depending on this flag it sets phy->autoneg accordingly for the fiber mode.
More importantly it implements proper read_link and poll_link functions
for both phys which can handle both copper and fiber mode by determining
the medium first and then branching to the required functions. For fiber
they all work fine, for copper they are not tested but return the result
of the genmii_* function anyway which is supposed to work.

ioctl()s.
This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY

The modifications and bug fixes noted below were done by Realtime Control
Works and Contemporary Control Systems, Inc, Jan 2005. They were
incorporated into the 2.6 kernel by Jeff Morrow of Sierra Analytics, Feb
2007. <jmorrow@massspec.com>
The changes have been tested on a Contemporary Controls PCI20U-4000.
Summary of changes:
Arc-rawmode.c:
rx():
- Fixed error in received packet lengths; 256 byte packets were
being received as 257 bytes packets.
prepare_tx():
- Fixed error in transmit length calcs; 257 byte packets were being
transmitted as 260 byte packets.
com20020.c:
com20020_check():
- We now load the SETUP2 register if the 'clockm' parameter is
non-zero, instead of checking for ARC_CAN_10MBIT. The user is
now responsible for whether or not SETUP2 is loaded. If the
clock multiplier is non-zero, this means that the user wants a
baud rate greater than 2.5Mbps. This is not possible unless the
SETUP2 register is present (COM20020D, or COM20022). So, we're
relying on the user to be smart about what kind of chip he's
dealing with...
com20020-pci.c
- Added several entries to com20020pci_id_table[].

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

I don't see any reason why we need pci_msi_quirk, quirk code can just
call pci_no_msi() instead.
Remove the check of pci_msi_quirk in msi_init(). This is safe as all
calls to msi_init() are protected by calls to pci_msi_supported(),
which checks pci_msi_enable, which is disabled by pci_no_msi().
The pci_disable_msi routines didn't check pci_msi_quirk, only
pci_msi_enable, but as far as I can see that was a bug not a feature.

At some point someone added a spin_lock(&dev->lock) to the IRQ handler for
the Z85230 driver. This actually correctly fixes a bug but the necessary
changes to remove the chan->lock calls in the event handlers were not made
(c->lock is the same lock).
Simona Dascenzo reported the problem with the driver and this patch should

The in-kernel bcm43xx driver only works with V3 firmware, whereas the
experimental version that incorporates the d80211 stack requires V4
firmware. In bcm43xx-d80211, the fwpostfix module parameter is used
to differentiate between the versions. In bcm43xx-softmac, this
module parameter is only enabled when debugging is on. This patch
makes the module parameter available unconditionaly, and should
ease the future transition from softmac to d80211.

Some versions of the bcm43xx chips only support 30-bit DMA, which means
that the descriptors and buffers must be in the first 1 GB of RAM. On
the i386 and x86_64 architectures with more than 1 GB RAM, an incorrect
assignment may occur. This patch ensures that the various DMA addresses
are within the capability of the chip. Testing has been limited to x86_64
as no one has an i386 system with more than 1 GB RAM.

Recent update of asm-powerpc/io.h caused cpm-related stuff to break in the
current kernel. Current patch fixes it, as well as other inconsistencies
expressed, that do not permit targets from working properly:
- Updated dts with a chosen node with interrupt controller,
- fixed messed device IDs among CPM2 SoC devices,
- corrected odd header name and fixed type in defines,
- Added 82xx subdir to the powerpc/platforms Makefile, missed during
initial commit,
- new solely-powerpc header file for 8260 family (was using one from
arch/ppc, this one cleaned up from the extra stuff), in fact for now
a placeholder to get the board-specific includes for stuff not yet
capable to live with devicetree peeks only
- Fixed couple of misprints in reference mpc8272 dts.

The existing code would blindly attempt to create the
bonding_masters file (in /sys/class/net) every time the module was
loaded. When the module is loaded multiple times (which is the
historical method used by initscripts and sysconfig to create multiple
bonding interfaces), this caused load failure of the second module load
attempt, as the creation request would fail.
This changes the code to note the failure, arrange to not remove
the bonding_masters file upon module exit, and then return success.
Bonding interfaces created by the second or subsequent loads of
the module will not exist in bonding_masters. This is not a significant
change, as previously only the interfaces from the most recent load of
the module would be listed. Both situations are less than optimal, but
this case permits compatibility with existing distro configuration
scripts, and is consistent.
Note that previously, the sysfs create request would overwrite
the exsting bonding_masters file and succeed, allowing multiple loads of
the module. The sysfs code has recently changed to return an error if
the file being created already exists.
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>, who reported this problem,
observed crashes on the old kernel (before sysfs checked for
duplicates). I did not experience such crashes, but this change should
resolve them.
