Linus Torvalds 28f3d71761 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net
Pull more networking updates from David Miller:
 "Ok, everything from here on out will be bug fixes."

1) One final sync of wireless and bluetooth stuff from John Linville.
   These changes have all been in his tree for more than a week, and
   therefore have had the necessary -next exposure.  John was just away
   on a trip and didn't have a change to send the pull request until a
   day or two ago.

2) Put back some defines in user exposed header file areas that were
   removed during the tokenring purge.  From Stephen Hemminger and Paul
   Gortmaker.

3) A bug fix for UDP hash table allocation got lost in the pile due to
   one of those "you got it..  no I've got it.." situations.  :-)

   From Tim Bird.

4) SKB coalescing in TCP needs to have stricter checks, otherwise we'll
   try to coalesce overlapping frags and crash.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.

5) RCU routing table lookups can race with free_fib_info(), causing
   crashes when we deref the device pointers in the route.  Fix by
   releasing the net device in the RCU callback.  From Yanmin Zhang.

TODO bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver 2011-05-10 15:54:54 -04:00

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
