free_hba() sets hba[i] to NULL, the dereference afterwards results in this

[patch 4/6] s390: qeth :allow setting of attribute "route6" to "no_router".
From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com>
when setting route6 attribute back to no_router qeth does not
issue an IP ASSIST command to reset router value to no_router.
Once primary_router is set device stays in this mode.
Issue an IP ASSIST command when no_router is set in route6.
Device will be reset and thus will not longer run as a primary
router.

With Au1xx0 Ethernet driver, TX bytes/packets always remain zero. The
problem seems to be that when packet has been transmitted, the length word
in DMA buffer is zero.
The patch updates the TX stats when a buffer is fed to DMA. The initial
2.4 patch was posted to linux-mips@linux-mips.org by Thomas Lange 21 Jan
2005.

The current code follows the spec but uses an overlong delay. This would
be great if the hardware did. Several vendors however forget the D7
pulldown. Fortunately 0xFF isnt a sane reset state so we can use it to
skip detection as is done in drivers/ide. (ie this is a tested solution
over a long time)

set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().

to play around with page->_count.

sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory
allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so
the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not
free the page.
Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This
fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a
constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.

SLAB_NO_REAP is documented as an option that will cause this slab not to be
reaped under memory pressure. However, that is not what happens. The only
thing that SLAB_NO_REAP controls at the moment is the reclaim of the unused
slab elements that were allocated in batch in cache_reap(). Cache_reap()
is run every few seconds independently of memory pressure.
Could we remove the whole thing? Its only used by three slabs anyways and
I cannot find a reason for having this option.
There is an additional problem with SLAB_NO_REAP. If set then the recovery
of objects from alien caches is switched off. Objects not freed on the
same node where they were initially allocated will only be reused if a
certain amount of objects accumulates from one alien node (not very likely)
or if the cache is explicitly shrunk. (Strangely __cache_shrink does not
check for SLAB_NO_REAP)
Getting rid of SLAB_NO_REAP fixes the problems with alien cache freeing.

Do not use platform_device_register_simple() as it is going away, define
dcdbas_driver and implement ->probe() and ->remove() functions so manual
binding and unbinding will work with this driver.
Also switch to using attribute_group when creating sysfs attributes and
make sure to check and handle errors; explicitely remove attributes when
detaching driver.
