Thanks guys, here an updated version then, before linkwatch surgery ?
In this version, I force the event to be sent synchronously.
[PATCH net-next-2.6] linkwatch: linkwatch_forget_dev() to speedup device dismantle

One problem of current schem in vlan dismantle phase is the
holding of device done by following chain :
vlan_dev_stop() ->
netif_carrier_off(dev) ->
linkwatch_fire_event(dev) ->
dev_hold() ...
And __linkwatch_run_queue() runs up to one second later...
A generic fix to this problem is to add a linkwatch_forget_dev() method
to unlink the device from the list of watched devices.
dev->link_watch_next becomes dev->link_watch_list (and use a bit more memory),
to be able to unlink device in O(1).
After patch :

This new event is called once for each unique net namespace in batched
unregister operations (with the argument set to a random device from
that namespace) and once per device in non-batched unregister
operations.
It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the

With multi queue devices, its possible that several cpus call
macvlan RX routines simultaneously for the same macvlan device.
We update RX stats counter without any locking, so we can
get slightly wrong counters.
One possible fix is to use percpu counters, to get precise
accounting and also get guarantee of no cache line ping pongs
between cpus.
Note: this adds 16 bytes (32 bytes on 64bit arches) of percpu
data per macvlan device.

Dave,
Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch.
Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic
was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion
of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[].
While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is
still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug
events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default,
while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user.
ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned
properly when hotplugging devices

This is for consistency with various ioctl() operations that include the

used with setpriority() and getpriority(). Also, using PGRP instead of
GID avoids confusion with the common abbreviation of "group ID".
I'm fine with anything that makes it more consistent, and if PGRP is what

Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel
Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is
obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
the same image.
After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
process. It was also working for s390 before.
This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
hibernation.
Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and
hibernation.

This patch (as1299b) fixes a bug in an error-handling path of usbmon's
binary interface. The storage area for URB data is divided into
fixed-size blocks. If an URB's data can't be copied, the area
reserved for it should be decreased to the size of the truncated
information (rounded up to a block boundary). Rounding up the amount
to be removed and subtracting it from the reserved size is definitely
the wrong thing to do.
Also, when the data for an isochronous URB can't be copied, we can
still copy the isoc packet descriptors. In fact the current code does
copy the descriptors, but then sets the capture length to 0 so they
remain inaccessible. The capture length should be reduced to the
length of the descriptors, not set to 0.

The trb_in_td() function in the xHCI driver is supposed to translate a
physical transfer buffer request (TRB) into a virtual pointer to the ring
segment that TRB is in.
Unfortunately, a mistake in this function may cause endless loops as the
driver searches through the linked list of ring segments over and over
again. Fix a couple bugs that may lead to loops or bad output:
1. Bail out if we get a NULL pointer when translating the segment's
private structure and the starting DMA address of the segment chunk. If
this happens, we've been handed a starting TRB pointer from a different
ring.
2. Make sure the function works when there's multiple segments in the
ring. In the while loop to search through the ring segments, use the
current segment variable (cur_seg), rather than the starting segment
variable (start_seg) that is passed in.
3. Stop searching the ring if we've run through all the segments in the
ring.

I have the same problem with cdc-acm (I'm using a Samsung SGH-U900): when I
unplug it from the USB port during a PPP connection, the ppp daemon gets the
hangup correctly (and closes the device), but the struct acm corresponding to
the device disconnected is not freed. Hence reconnecting the device results in
creation of /dev/ttyACM(x+1). The same happens when the system is hibernated
during a PPP connection.
This memory leak is due to the fact that when the tty is hung up,
tty_port_close_start() returns always zero, and acm_tty_close() never reaches
the point where acm_tty_unregister() is called.
Here is a fix for this.

Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock;
this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit
li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we
were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit
machines.
This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if
xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at
least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle
number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless
CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to
processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space.
Thanks to Adrian VanderSpek for first spotting the race potential and to
Dave Chinner for debug assistance.
