a228dfd5dc [SPARC64]: Fix bad performance side effect of strbuf timeout changes.
The recent change to add a timeout to strbuf flushing had
a negative performance impact.  The udelay()'s are too long,
and they were done in the wrong order wrt. the register read
checks.  Fix both, and things are happy again.

There are more possible improvements in this area.  In fact,
PCI streaming buffer flushing seems to be part of the bottleneck
in network receive performance on my SunBlade1000 box.

d8c37e7b9a [SCSI] remove a timer race in scsi_queue_insert()
scsi_queue_insert() has four callers.  Three callers call with
timer disabled and one (the second invocation in
scsi_dispatch_cmd()) calls with timer activated.
scsi_queue_insert() used to always call scsi_delete_timer()
and ignore the return value.  This results in race with timer
expiration.  Remove scsi_delete_timer() call from
scsi_queue_insert() and make the caller delete timer and check
the return value.

a1bf9d1d92 [SCSI] make scsi_queue_insert() use blk_requeue_request()
scsi_queue_insert() used to use blk_insert_request() for requeueing
requests.  This depends on the unobvious behavior of
blk_insert_request() setting REQ_SPECIAL and REQ_SOFTBARRIER when
requeueing.  This patch makes scsi_queue_insert() use
blk_requeue_request().  As REQ_SPECIAL means special requests and
REQ_SOFTBARRIER is automatically handled by blk layer now, no flag
needs to be set.

Note that scsi_queue_insert() now calls scsi_run_queue() itself, and
the prototype of the function is added right above
scsi_queue_insert().  This is temporary, as later requeue path
consolidation patchset removes scsi_queue_insert().  By adding
temporary prototype, we can do away with unnecessarily moving
functions.

6c37a88c5b [PATCH] ppc32: don't call progress functions after boot
On ppc32, the platform code can supply a "progress" function that is
used to show progress through the boot.  These functions are usually
in an init section and so can't be called after the init pages are
freed.  Now that the cpu bringup code can be called after the system
is booted (for hotplug cpu) we can get the situation where the
progress function can be called after boot.  The simple fix is to set
the progress function pointer to NULL when the init pages are freed,
and that is what this patch does (note that all callers already check
whether the function pointer is NULL before trying to call it).

aa1c6a6f7f [NETLINK]: Defer socket destruction a bit
In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.

However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.

Cloned packets don't need the orphan call.

db61ecc335 [NETLINK]: Fix race with recvmsg().
This bug causes:

assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122)

What's happening is that:

1) The skb is sent to socket 1.
2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb.
   Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the
   skb is still referenced.
3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2.

This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved
out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op
in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg.
