Monotonic clock code uses reader/writer lock which is prone to same
starvation problems as we saw with xtime. This patch changes it to seq_lock
which is faster and won't starve writers in face of lots of readers.

[PATCH] Coda updates [5/5]
Introduce a new kernel-userspace interface that uses 128-bit file
identifiers instead of the previously used 96-bit fileids. We also
replacing the coda_creds structure with only the fsuid.
This new API has been used by for a couple of months now, people had to
patch their kernels whenever they want to run a current Coda release.
A new Kconfig option is added to fall back on the old API for older Coda
clients and other userspace filesystems that might use our protocol.

The ViceFid structure is really a Coda server datatype and the kernel

Both userspace and the kernel are testing only the fsuid part of the

kernel-userspace API is kept compatible (for now).

[NETFILTER]: MASQUERADE target for mostly-static IP addresses.
Herve Eychenne noted that many ADSL connections get the same
address when the interface comes back up, so some users use SNAT
instead of masquerade. The answer is that MASQUERADE should only
drop connections when the interface comes up, and then only if the
interface address has actually changed.

[ATM]: seq_file conversion of /proc/net/atm [7/8]
seq_file support for /proc/net/atm/lec:
- lec_info(): seq_printf/seq_putc replaces sprintf;
- traversal of the lec structure needs to walk:
-> the lec interfaces
-> the tables of arp tables(lec_arp_tables);
-> the arp tables themselves
-> the misc tables (lec_arp_empty_ones/lec_no_forward/mcast_fwds)
Sum up of the call tree:
atm_lec_seq_start()/atm_lec_seq_next()
-> atm_lec_get_idx()
-> atm_lec_itf_walk() (responsible for dev_lec/dev_put handling)
-> atm_lec_priv_walk() (responsible for lec_priv locking)
-> atm_lec_arp_walk()
-> atm_lec_tbl_walk()
-> atm_lec_misc_walk()
-> atm_lec_tbl_walk()
Each of the dedicated functions follows the same convention: return NULL
as long as the seq_file cursor hasn't been digested (i.e. until < 0).
Locking is only done when an entry (i.e. a lec_arp_table) is referenced.
atm_lec_seq_stop()/atm_lec_itf_walk()/atm_lec_priv_walk() are responsible
for getting this point right.
- module refcounting is done in atm_lec_seq_open()/atm_lec_seq_release();
- atm_lec_info() is removed.
Chas's suggestions applied since last version:
- atm_seq_lec_fops renamed to lec_seq_fops;
- change in state handling: it wasn't correctly set to its reset value
after a complete interface walk;
- lec_arp_get_status_string() bugfix.

[PATCH] (3/4) dlci locking and registration changes
Change the locking for the dlci device list and registration.
- use RTNL instead of a private lock (needed for net notifier in next patch).
- reorder the checks in the dlci_add to avoid complicated unwinds
- use dev->destructor to free
- hold RTNL around deassoc to protect callback from races
The sdla and dlci drivers have a callback interface which only stores a name
in a table, but doesn't do anything useful. Looks like an interface which has
lost it's usefulness and can be safely removed.
Tested on 2.6.0-test5 by exercising the higher layer (dlci) without real hardware.
Patch against 2.60-test5 to move sdla driver out of Space.c for initialization
in non-module case. Since this driver doesn't come up until the device has
been configured with an ioctl (set_config); there is no way it can have
startup order problems.

[e1000] 82544 PCI-X hang fix + TSO updates
* Bug fix: 82544 hang with PCI-X: if outgoing Tx buffers terminate
within evenly-aligned dwords, and the device is sharing the bus
segment with another PCI-X device, 82544 can hang the bus on a
split-completion transaction. Fix is to split buffer into two
buffers with the first one not terminating within evenly-aligned
dword address, and the second one being 4-bytes, which goes as a
non-split-conpletion PCI-X transaction.
* 8254x controllers that support TSO do an internal calculation to
make sure there is enough FIFO space to handle the overhead
of each TSO segment before DMA'ing TSO data from host memory. The
internal calculation is dependent on the mss of the TSO (defines
the number of segments), but the reserved space is a constant, so
we need to adjust the maximum size of each buffer queued to the
hardware to hold the equation and not overrun the FIFO. This is
per TSO because the mss can change from one send to the next.
