tg3 is supposed to enable WoL by default on adapters which support that, but it fails to do so unless the adapter's /sys/devices/.../power/wakeup file contains 'enabled' during the initialization of the adapter.

This is the second fix of the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB which sometimes happens after power cuts when we mount the file-system - UBIFS refuses it with the above error message which comes from the 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' function. I can reproduce this using the integck test with the UBIFS power cut emulation enabled. Analysis of the problem. Currently UBIFS replay seeks the journal heads to the last _replayed_ bud. But the buds are replayed out-of-order, so the replay basically seeks journal heads to the "random" bud belonging to this head, and not to the _last_ one. The result of this is that the GC head may be seeked to a full LEB with no free space, or very little free space. And 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' tries to find a fully or mostly dirty LEB to match the current GC head (because we need to garbage-collect that dirty LEB at one go, because we do not have @c->gc_lnum). So 'ubifs_find_dirty_leb()' fails and we fall back to finding an empty LEB and also fail. As a result - recovery fails and mounting fails. This patch teaches the replay to initialize the GC heads exactly to the latest buds, i.e. the buds which have the largest sequence number in corresponding log reference nodes.

Currently UBIFS has a small optimization - it frees write-buffers when it is re-mounted from R/W mode to R/O mode. Of course, when it is mounted R/O, it does not allocate write-buffers as well. This optimization is nice but it leads to subtle problems and complications in recovery, which I can reproduce using the integck test. The symptoms are that after a power cut the file-system cannot be mounted if we first mount it R/O, and then re-mount R/W - 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' prints: UBIFS error (pid 34456): could not find an empty LEB Analysis of the problem. When mounting R/W, the reply process sets journal heads to buds [1], but when mounting R/O - it does not do this, because the write-buffers are not allocated. So 'ubifs_rcvry_gc_commit()' works completely differently for the same file-system but for the following 2 cases: 1. mounting R/W after a power cut and recover 2. mounting R/O after a power cut, re-mounting R/W and run deferred recovery In the former case, we have journal heads seeked to the a bud, in the latter case, they are non-seeked (wbuf->lnum == -1). So in the latter case we do not try to recover the GC LEB by garbage-collecting to the GC head, but we just try to find an empty LEB, and there may be no empty LEBs, so we just fail. On the other hand, in the former case (mount R/W), we are able to make a GC LEB (@c->gc_lnum) by garbage-collecting. Thus, let's remove this small nice optimization and always allocate write-buffers. This should not make too big difference - we have only 3 of them, each of max. write unit size, which is usually 2KiB. So this is about 6KiB of RAM for the typical case, and only when mounted R/O. [1]: Note, currently the replay process is setting (seeking) the journal heads to _some_ buds, not necessarily to the buds which had been the journal heads before the power cut happened. This will be fixed separately. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org

Move the SMBus device ID definitions of recent devices from pci_ids.h to the i2c-i801.c driver file. They don't have to be shared, as they are clearly identified and only used in this driver.

Noting that this error occured on a serdes based device, we noted that there were a few ethtool operations (most notably self_test and set_phys_id) that have execution paths that lead into bnx2_setup_serdes_phy. This function is notable because it executes a mod_timer call, which starts the bp->timer running. Currently bnx2 is setup to assume that this timer only nees to be stopped when bnx2_close or bnx2_suspend is called. Since the above ethtool operations are not gated on the net device having been opened however, that assumption is incorrect, and can lead to the timer still running after the module has been removed, leading to the oops above (as well as other simmilar oopses). Fix the problem by ensuring that the timer is stopped when pci_device_unregister is called.

If a rescuer and stop_machine() bringing down a CPU race with each other, they may deadlock on non-preemptive kernel. The CPU won't accept a new task, so the rescuer can't migrate to the target CPU, while stop_machine() can't proceed because the rescuer is holding one of the CPU retrying migration. GCWQ_DISASSOCIATED is never cleared and worker_maybe_bind_and_lock() retries indefinitely.
