This fixes an oops that can occur if JFS is used as the root filesystem.

Writes to a device node may cause a ->write_inode to be called during a
read-only mount.  JFS needs to check for NULL log in jfs_flush_journal.

Also, make sure NET_RX_DROP is returned if we did not accept the
packet.

In implementations that use no socket locking, such as RAW sockets,
once we queue the SKB to the socket another cpu can remove the SKB
from the socket queue and free up the SKB making the skb->len access
touch freed memory.

All the users of this function in the SCSI tree call it with the host
lock held.  With the new list traversal code, it was trying to take
the lock again to traverse the list.

Fix it to use the unlocked version of list traversal and modify the
header comments to make it clear that the lock is expected to be held
on calling it.

I've been looking at enforcing lifetime phases for SCSI devices
(primarily to try to get the mid layer to offload as much of the device
creation and hotplug pieces as it can).

I've hijacked the sdev_state field of the struct scsi_device (formerly
this was a bitmap, now it becomes an enumerated state).

I've also begun adding references sdev_gendev into the code to pin the
scsi_device---initially in the queue function, but possibly this should
also be done in the scsi_command_get/put, the idea being to prevent
scsi_device freeing while there's still device activity.

The object phases I identified are:

1. SDEV_CREATED - we've just allocated the device.  It may respond to
internally generated commands, but not to user ones (the user should
actually have no way to access a device in this state, but just in
case).

2. SDEV_RUNNING - the device is fully operational

3. SDEV_CANCEL - The device is cleanly shutting down.  It may respond to
internally generated commands (for cancellation/recovery) only; all user
commands are errored unless they have already been queued (QUEUE_FULL
handling and the like).

4. SDEV_DEL - The device is gone. *all* commands are errored out.

Ordinarily, the device should move through all four phases from creation
to destruction, but moving SDEV_RUNNING->SDEV_DEL because of surprise
ejection should work.

It's starting to look like the online flag should be absorbed into this
(offlined devices move essentially to SDEV_CANCEL and could be
reactivated by moving to SDEV_RUNNING).

I haven't altered the similar bitmap model that scsi_host has, although
this too should probably move to an enumerated state model.

I've tested this by physically yanking a module out from underneath a
running filesystem with no ill effects (other than a slew of I/O
errors).

The obvious problem is that this kills possible user error handling, but
we don't do any of that yet.

This patch is against scsi-bugfixes-2.6. I updated it based on comments
received. It breaks up the reference count initialization for scsi_device
and restores calling slave_destroy for all scsi_devices configured or
not. I ran a small regression using the scsi_debug, aic7xxx, and qla2xxx
driver. I also had a debug patch for more verbose kobject cleanup and
patch for a badness check on atomic_dec going negative (previously
provided by Linus).

The object cleanup appears to being functioning correctly. I only saw
previously reported badness output:
	- Synchronizing SCSI cache fails on cleanup.
	- scsi_debug.c missing release (I believe Doug posted a patch)
	- aic7xxx warnings on rmmod due to ahc_platform_free calling
	  scsi_remove_host with ahc_list_lock held.


This patch splits the scsi device struct device register into init and
add. It also addresses memory leak issues of not calling slave_destroy
on scsi_devices that are not configured in.

Details:
* Make scsi_device_dev_release extern for scsi_scan to use in
alloc_sdev.
* Move scsi_free_sdev code to scsi_device_dev_release. Have
previous callers of scsi_free_sdev call slave_destroy plus put_device.
* Changed name of scsi_device_register to scsi_sysfs_add_sdev to
match host call and align with split struct device init.
* Move sdev_gendev device and class init to scsi_alloc_sdev.

It turns out that the SiS irq routing logic doesn't go by chipset
after all - it's just that some pirq entries are "legacy" numbers,
while others are raw offsets into PCI config space (and the legacy
numbers are more commonly used with the older chipsets, which
explains the correlations).

This simplifies the router code substantially.

A bug prevents the PnP layer from reserving some of the resources
specified by the PnPBIOS.  As a result some systems will have
unpredicable (random crashes etc.) problems because of resource
conflicts, especially when PCMCIA support is enabled.  This patch
fixes the problem by ensuring that the proper resource data is
reserved.

It did not account for extension headers properly.  If we get
this length wrong, we do not determine if a multicast packet
is MLDv1 vs. MLDv2 correctly.

This caused the system call code to test for the wrong number of
system calls, with resulting exciting results.

	for 2.6.0.  The proper fix is to replace ia64_ni_syscall with
	sys_ni_syscall, but that would make the patch quite large, so
	we defer that till 2.6.1.

	restore_sigcontext().  Also update ia32 subsystem accordingly.

	in practice, but it's clearly wrong and just waiting there to
	get triggered...

Caught by Francois Romieu.

RFC2710 says:
1) MLD messages are never sent for multicast addresses whose scope is 0
   (reserved) or 1 (node-local).
2) MLD messages ARE sent for multicast addresses whose scope is 2
   (link-local), including Solicited-Node multicast addersses [ADDR-ARCH],
   except for the link-scope, all-nodes address (FF02::1).

      The current MLDv1 code does not send reports for link-scope addresses
and doesn't restrict scope 0. This may break switches that snoop reports for
determining which ports should receive particular addresses.  Patch below.

Fix the creation of the /proc/net/bonding dir.
Patch is against 2.6.

This patch (against latest 2.6.0) is also waiting for almost a month.
It's already in 2.4 but is still very much needed for 2.6.

Old ifenslave versions (like the one in Red Hat 9) don't work with
the bonding module in the latest 2.6 kernel without it.
