This reverts commit 3baee955. this was a mistake from the start; I added mdio type to the bus scan list early on in my ucc_geth migrate to phylib development, which is just pure wrong (the ucc_geth_mii driver creates the mii bus and the PHY layer handles PHY enumeration without translation). this accompanies commit 77926826: Revert "[POWERPC] Don't complain if size-cells == 0 in prom_parse()" which was basically trying to hide a symptom of the original mistake this revert fixes.

This reverts commit fd6e9d39. Having #size-cells == 0 in a node indicates that things under the node aren't directly accessible, and therefore we shouldn't try to translate addresses for devices under the node into CPU physical addresses. Some drivers, such as the nvram driver for powermacs, rely on of_address_to_resource failing if they are called for a node representing a device whose resources aren't directly accessible by the CPU. These drivers were broken by commit fd6e9d39, resulting in the "Lombard" powerbook hanging early in the boot process. stable team, this patch is equivalent to commit 77926826Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: don't track locally generated special ICMP error The conntrack assigned to locally generated ICMP error is usually the one assigned to the original packet which has caused the error. But if the original packet is handled as invalid by nf_conntrack, no conntrack is assigned to the original packet. Then nf_ct_attach() cannot assign any conntrack to the ICMP error packet. In that case the current nf_conntrack_icmp assigns appropriate conntrack to it. But the current code mistakes the direction of the packet. As a result, NAT code mistakes the address to be mangled. To fix the bug, this changes nf_conntrack_icmp not to assign conntrack to such ICMP error. Actually no address is necessary to be mangled in this case. Spotted by Jordan Russell.

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place. Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be removed.

The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference should be put. And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in this case, so we should just clean it up ourself. Thanks to Akinobu Mita for bug report, analysis, and testing.

With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for async writes. So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.

Pointed out by Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com>. The bug was introduced in 2.6.22 by me. cleanup_workqueue_thread() does flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) in a loop until ->worklist becomes empty. This is live-lockable, a re-niced caller can get CPU after wake_up() and insert a new barrier before the lower-priority cwq->thread has a chance to clear ->current_work. Change cleanup_workqueue_thread() to do flush_cpu_workqueue(cwq) only once. We can rely on the fact that run_workqueue() won't return until it flushes all works. So it is safe to call kthread_stop() after that, the "should stop" request won't be noticed until run_workqueue() returns.
