Revert "Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafu"

2010-12-30T20:07:22Z

This reverts commit 7e24cce38a99f373450db67bf576fe73e8168d66 because it was never appropriate for mainline. Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable without this fix. The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so this oops cannot happen in mainline version. Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op* for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which triggers its initialization.

Staging: batman-adv: ensure that eth_type_trans gets linear memory

2010-11-29T18:53:14Z

eth_type_trans tries to pull data with the length of the ethernet header from the skb. We only ensured that enough data for the first ethernet header and the batman header is available in non-paged memory of the skb and not for the ethernet after the batman header. eth_type_trans would fail sometimes with drivers which don't ensure that all there data is perfectly linearised. The failure was noticed through a kernel bug Oops generated by the skb_pull inside eth_type_trans.

Staging: batman-adv: Don't remove interface with spinlock held

2010-11-29T18:53:14Z

We call a lot of the netdevice code when holding if_list_lock which will spin the whole time. This is not necessary because we only want to protect the access to the list to be serialized. An extra queue can be used which hold all interfaces which should be removed and then use that queue without any locks for netdevice cleanup. We create a "scheduling while atomic" Oops when calling different netdevice related functions inside a spinlock protected area on a preemtible kernel.
