> stack backtrace:

> [<c11ad5ea>] netpoll_send_skb+0x98/0xea
This seems to be a real deadlock...
So netpoll_send_skb takes the _xmit_lock, which is all nitty gritty
but then rtl8139_start_xmit comes around while that lock is taken, and
does
spin_unlock_irq(&tp->lock);
which.. enables interrupts and softirqs; this is quite bad because the
xmit lock is taken in softirq context for the watchdog like this:
[<c1200376>] _spin_lock+0x23/0x32
[<c11af282>] dev_watchdog+0x14/0xb1
[<c101dab2>] run_timer_softirq+0xf2/0x14a
[<c101a691>] __do_softirq+0x55/0xb0
[<c1004a8d>] do_softirq+0x58/0xbd
Which would deadlock now that the spin_unlock_irq() has enabled
irqs/softirqs while the _xmit_lock is still held.
The patch below turns this into a irqsave/irqrestore pair so that
interrupts don't get enabled unconditionally.

For messages prior to register_netdev(), prefer dev_printk() because
that prints out both our driver name and our [PCI | whatever] bus id.

This patch turns the RTNL from a semaphore to a new 2.6.16 mutex and
gets rid of some of the leftover legacy.

ICC likes to complain about storage class not being first, GCC doesn't
care much (except for cases like "inline static").
have a hard time seeing how it could break anything.
Thanks to Gabriel A. Devenyi for pointing out
http://linuxicc.sourceforge.net/ which is what made me create this patch.

The rtl8139 thread is triggered only on rare 8139 hardware, the race
itself is unlikely, and the impact of racing is low. We don't care
enough to create a more-complex race-free solution.
Rather, if the trylock fails, we now simply poll twice a second until
we do get the lock.
Gone are the days when 8139too was a shining example of how to use
kernel threads. Delayed workqueues are easier, and map precisely to
our task: running code from a kernel thread, after a periodic sleep.
Add "HasHltClk" flag for RTL-8100B/8139D hardware in order to fix
problems resuming from suspend-to-RAM.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

This patch converts the 8139too driver to use the iomap infrastructure
for PIO and MMIO instead of playing macro tricks. I also had to fix
read_eeprom(), mdio_sync(), mdio_read(), and mdio_write() to not pass
PIO base address to MMIO read() and write() functions. In addition,
the patch adds proper __iomem annotations for the driver.
Both modes, PIO and MMIO, were tested with a RealTel RTL8139 card on
an x86 box. The 8129 support remains untested due to lack of
hardware.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
