2009-04-09module: try_then_request_module must waitHerbert Xu
Since the whole point of try_then_request_module is to retry the operation after a module has been loaded, we must wait for the module to fully load. Otherwise all sort of things start breaking, e.g., you won't be able to read your encrypted disks on the first attempt.

2009-04-09work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demandAndrew Morton
Impact: circular locking bugfix The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu() are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some form. Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock. Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu() invokation. This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is pci_call_probe(). It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu() altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything simple at this time... Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-04-09cap_prctl: don't set error to 0 at 'no_change'Serge E. Hallyn
One-liner: capsh --print is broken without this patch. In certain cases, cap_prctl returns error > 0 for success. However, the 'no_change' label was always setting error to 0. As a result, for example, 'prctl(CAP_BSET_READ, N)' would always return 0. It should return 1 if a process has N in its bounding set (as by default it does). I'm keeping the no_change label even though it's now functionally the same as 'error'.

2009-04-08igb: remove sysfs entry that was used to set the number of vfsAlexander Duyck
This patch removes the sysfs entry num_vfs which was added to support enabling pci virtual functions for 82576. To prevent VFs from loading automatically a module parameter "max_vfs" was added so that the number of VFs per PF can be limited. This is especially useful when 4 or more 82576 ports are on the system because otherwise to load all VFs would result in 8 interface per physical port.

2009-04-08igbvf: add new driver to support 82576 virtual functionsAlexander Duyck
This adds an igbvf driver to handle virtual functions provided by the igb driver when SR-IOV has been enabled. A virtual function is a lightweight pci-e function that supports a single queue and shares resources with the 82576 physical function contained within the igb driver. To spawn virtual functions from the igb driver all that is needed is to enable CONFIG_PCI_IOV and have an 82576 Ethernet adapter on a system that supports SR-IOV in the BIOS. The virtual functions will appear after the interface is loaded.

2009-04-08[ARM] 5445/1: AT91: Remove flexible array from USBH platform dataJustin Waters
The flexible array in the USBH platform data is not safe to copy. The compiler will not allocate any extra memory for the non-init platform data structure (in the *_devices.c files) since it isn't given any defaults at compile time. When the probe function attempts to address that array, it will actually attempt to access data in an adjacent structure. Since there are currently no (known) implementations of the at91 USBH IP with more than 2 vbus pins, I am capping the value at 2. If somebody tries to assign more, then the compiler will produce a warning.
