Jeff Kirsher	[net-2.6 PATCH 1/4] ixgbe: fix issues with failing to detect... From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@intel.com> Several small fixes around negative test case of the insertion of a IXGBE_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED module. - mdio45_probe call was always failing due to mdio.prtad not being set. The function set to mdio.mdio_read was still working as we just happen to always be at prtad == 0. This will allow us to set the phy_id and phy.type correctly now. - There was timing issue with i2c calls when initiated from a tasklet. A small delay was added to allow t...

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@intel.com> Currently if we loaded the driver, insert an unsupported module, and then attempt to "ifconfig up" the device it will be brought down but the netdev would not be unregistered. This behavior is different than all other code paths. This patch corrects that by down'ing the device and then scheduling the sfp_config_module_task tasklet. The tasklet will detect this condition (like it does with other code paths) and do the unregister_netdev(). I a... [ message continues ]	Jul 2, 6:50 pm 2009

We only want to try and re-identify the SFP+ module if the original probe found that this device was an SFP+ device. So for this code path (driver loaded with SFP module, module inserted, ifconfig up of the device) the type will be ixgbe_phy_unknown for an unidentified SFP+ module. So we only check if that is the case. This problem a... [ message continues ]	Jul 2, 6:50 pm 2009

Andreas Henriksson	ipv6 preferred lifetime wraparound... Hello! I spotted your patch[1] to prevent ipv6 preferred lifetime wraparound. It looks to me like you fixed the preferred lifetime, but did not touch the valid lifetime. According to a debian bugreport[2] it seems both of them like to wrap around. Shouldn't the "valid -= tval;", visible in your patch context, also be conditional similar to your change for "preferred -= tval;" ?

When writing code for UP without CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK it's easy to get the first argument to the spinlock/rwlock functions wrong. This is because the parameter is not actually used in this configuration. Typically you will only find out it's wrong * by rebuilding with CONFIG_SMP or CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK * after you've submitted your beautiful patch series. The first means a long wait, and the latter is a bit late. Add typechecking on the first argument of these macro functions. Note that si... [ message continues ]	Jul 2, 2:44 pm 2009
