Prior to this patch, the driver would do this for each port:
read 8-bit PCS
write 8-bit PCS
read 8-bit PCS
write 8-bit PCS
In the field, flaky behavior has been observed related to this register.
In particular, these overzealous register writes can cause misdetection
problems.
Update to do the following once (not once per port) at boot:
read 16-bit PCS
if needs changing,
write 16-bit PCS
And thereafter, we only perform a 'read 16-bit PCS' per port.
This should eliminate all PCS writes in many cases, and be more friendly
in the cases where we do need to enable ports.

[PATCH] Remove down_write() from taskstats code invoked on the exit() path
In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write()
was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do
GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy
the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore.
The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from
the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and
defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even
if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can
still acquire another down_read.
Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related
pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of
using something more complex like RCU.
[PATCH] per-task delay accounting taskstats interface: control exit data through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.
[PATCH] per-task delay accounting: avoid send without listeners
Don't send taskstats (per-pid or per-tgid) on thread exit when no one is
listening for such data.
Currently the taskstats interface allocates a structure, fills it in and
calls netlink to send out per-pid and per-tgid stats regardless of whether
a userspace listener for the data exists (netlink layer would check for
that and avoid the multicast).
As a result of this patch, the check for the no-listener case is performed
early, avoiding the redundant allocation and filling up of the taskstats
structures.

[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once
Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data

When CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER is enabled kernel refuses to suspend the
machine because it's unable to freeze the rt-test-* threads.
Add try_to_freeze() after schedule() so that the threads will be freezed
correctly; I've tested the patch and it lets the notebook suspends and
resumes nicely.

[PATCH] lockdep: annotate the BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl
The delete partition IOCTL takes the bd_mutex for both the disk and the

[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entry
Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather
than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk
options. I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until
recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same
thing for their automated test setups.
The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully
this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value
often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even
moreso).

[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/io.h from user visibility
There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the kernel's
headers are not intended to provide a library of helper routines for
userspace. Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on most architectures
anyway. Just say 'no'.

[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/atomic.h from user visibility
This isn't suitable for userspace to see -- the kernel headers are not a
random library of stuff for userspace; they're only there to define the
kernel<->user ABI for system libraries and tools. Anything which _was_
abusing asm/atomic.h from userspace was probably broken anyway -- as it often
didn't even give atomic operation.

Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel
symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is
not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy
prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out
right.
A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not
worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

[PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke
might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their
__copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep().
Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to
eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.
[PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyager
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics.
That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch. This makes that
dependency explicit, and allows the code to build.
What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the
support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the
voyager subarch under those harsh conditions.
Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove
the need to disable io_apics and this dependency.
