The barriers are unneeded; wait_woken() and woken_wake_function()
already provide us with the required synchronization: remove them
and document that we're relying on the (implicit) synchronization
provided by wait_woken() and woken_wake_function().

It looks like bnep_session has same pattern as the issue reported in
old rfcomm:
while (1) {

if (condition)
break;

schedule();
}
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);

A Linux PC is connected with another device over Bluetooth PAN using a
BNEP interface.
Whenever a packet is tried to be sent over the BNEP interface, the
function "bnep_net_xmit()" in "net/bluetooth/bnep/netdev.c" is called.
This function calls "bnep_net_mc_filter()", which checks (if the
destination address is multicast) if the address is set in a certain
multicast filter (&s->mc_filter). If it is not, then it is not sent out.
This filter is only changed in two other functions, found in
net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c": in "bnep_ctrl_set_mc_filter()", which is
only called if a message of type "BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET" is
received. Otherwise, it is set in "bnep_add_connection()", where it is
set to a default value which only adds the broadcast address to the
filter:
set_bit(bnep_mc_hash(dev->broadcast), (ulong *) &s->mc_filter);
To sum up, if the BNEP interface does not receive any message of type
"BNEP_FILTER_MULTI_ADDR_SET", it will not send out any messages with
multicast destination addresses except for broadcast.
However, in the BNEP specification (page 27 in
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/15/Bluetooth/BNEP.pdf), it is said
that per default, all multicast addresses should not be filtered, i.e.
the BNEP interface should be able to send packets with any multicast
destination address.
It seems that the default case is wrong: the multicast filter should not
block almost all multicast addresses, but should not filter out any.
This leads to the problem that e.g. Neighbor Solicitation messages sent
with Bluetooth PAN over the BNEP interface to a multicast destination
address other than broadcast are blocked and not sent out.
Therefore, in the default case, we set the mc_filter to ~0LL to not
filter out any multicast addresses.

With this patch kernel will be able to handle setup request. This is
needed if we would like to handle control mesages with extension
headers. User space will be only resposible for reading setup data and
checking if scenario is conformance to specification (dst and src device
bnep role). In case of new user space, setup data must be leaved(peek
msg) on queue. New bnep session will be responsible for handling this
data.

We cannot call module_put(THIS_MODULE) if this is our last reference. Otherwise,

Gladly, the kthread API provides a simple wrapper for us. So lets use

kthread_stop is a blocking function which returns only when
the thread exits. In this case, the thread can't exit because it's
waiting for the write lock, which is being held by bnep_del_connection()
which is waiting for the thread to exit -- deadlock.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).
