2007-07-18[TG3]: Fix msi issue with kexec/kdump.Michael Chan
Tina Yang <tina.yang@oracle.com> discovered an MSI related problem when doing kdump. The problem is that the kexec kernel is booted without going through system reset, and as a result, MSI may already be enabled when tg3_init_one() is called. tg3_init_one() calls pci_save_state() which will save the stale MSI state. Later on in tg3_open(), we call pci_enable_msi() to reconfigure MSI on the chip before we reset the chip. After chip reset, we call pci_restore_state() which will put the stale MSI address/data back onto the chip. This is no longer a problem in the latest kernel because pci_restore_state() has been changed to restore MSI state from internal data structures which will guarantee restoring the proper MSI state. But I think we should still fix it. Our save and restore sequence can still cause very subtle problems down the road. The fix is to have our own functions save and restore precisely what we need. We also change it to save and restore state inside tg3_chip_reset() in a more straight forward way. Thanks to Tina for helping to test and debug the problem.

2007-07-18eHEA: Fix bonding supportThomas Klein
The driver didn't allow an interface's MAC address to be modified if the respective interface wasn't setup - a failing Hcall was the result. Thus bonding wasn't usable. The fix moves the failing Hcall which was registering a MAC address for the reception of BC packets in firmware from the port up and down functions to the port resources setup functions. Additionally the missing update of the last_rx member of the netdev structure was added. Signed-off-by: Thomas Klein <tklein@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-07-18Fix RGMII-ID handling in gianfarAndy Fleming
The TSEC/eTSEC can detect the interface to the PHY automatically, but it isn't able to detect whether the RGMII connection needs internal delay. So we need to detect that change in the device tree, propagate it to the platform data, and then check it if we're in RGMII. This fixes a bug on the 8641D HPCN board where the Vitesse PHY doesn't use the delay for RGMII. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>
2007-07-18Fix Vitesse RGMII-ID supportAndy Fleming

2007-07-18Fix Vitesse 824x PHY interrupt ackingAndy Fleming
The Vitesse 824x PHY doesn't allow an interrupt to be cleared if the mask bit for that interrupt isn't set. This means that the PHY Lib's order of handling interrupts (disable, then clear) breaks on this PHY. However, clearing then disabling the interrupt opens up the code for a silly race condition. So rather than change the PHY Lib, we change the Vitesse driver so it always clears interrupts before disabling them. Further, the ack function only clears the interrupt if interrupts are enabled.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
