2008-08-10i2c: Check for address business before creating clientsJean Delvare
We check for address business in i2c_probe_address(), i2c_detect_address() and i2c_new_probed_device(), but this isn't sufficient. Drivers can call i2c_attach_client() and i2c_new_device() on any address, so we must check the address there as well. This fixes bug #11239: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11239 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-08-10i2c: Let users select algorithm drivers manually againJean Delvare
In kernel 2.6.26, the ability to select I2C algorithm drivers manually was removed, as all in-kernel drivers do that automatically. However there were some complaints that it was a problem for out-of-tree I2C bus drivers. In order to address these complaints, let's allow manual selection of these drivers again, but still hide them by default for better general user experience. This closes bug #11140: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11140 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-08-10i2c: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i2c_new_probed_deviceHans Verkuil
Fix a NULL pointer dereference that happened when calling i2c_new_probed_device on one of the addresses for which we use byte reads instead of quick write for detection purpose (that is: 0x30-0x37 and 0x50-0x5f).

2008-08-10i2c: Fix oops on bus multiplexer driver loadingJean Delvare
The two I2C bus multiplexer drivers (i2c-amd756-s4882 and i2c-nforce2-s4985) make use of the bus they want to multiplex before checking if it is really present. Swap the instructions to test for presence first. This fixes a oops reported by Ingo Molnar. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-08-07IB/mad: Test ib_create_send_mad() return with IS_ERR(), not == NULLJulien Brunel
In case of error, the function ib_create_send_mad() returns an ERR pointer, but never returns a NULL pointer. So testing the return value for error should be done with IS_ERR, not by comparing with NULL.

AFAIK, no such hardware exists for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed in the hardware state, not the vif state.

2008-08-07bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfsMoni Shoua
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves) the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a lockup or a crash. This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module ib_ipoib is unloaded) This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay unaffected. Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-08-07bonding: refactor mii monitorJay Vosburgh
Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor, the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case, removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code. This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases: an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is only called when inspection finds something to change.

2008-08-07[netdrvr] Drivers should not set IFF_* flag themselvesWang Chen
Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag. It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc, it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti. In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it. So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags. This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send to specific driver maintainers.
