From: David Miller on 19 Feb 2010 20:10 Some stragglers. I know it's late but I really would be remiss to not submit the sysctl fixes. 1) When we fixed a deadlock on the RTNL lock, when writing to forwarding control sysctl values while at the same time removing a device, we added a new bug. The commit was 9b8adb5ea005 ("net: Fix devinet_sysctl_forward") By the time these sysctl handlers have been called, the generic sysctl code has already changed the value of the integer. So if we retry to avoid a deadlock, we have to undo that modification. Fix from Eric W. Biederman. 2) When the the wireless get stats output method were changed to use the RTNL lock instead of dev_base_lock (commit a160ee69c6a "wext: let get_wireless_stats() sleep") , it acquired the same kind of deadlock that the forwarding controls have. Fix it in the same way. Also from Eric W. Biederman. 3) Two SFC driver bug fixes from Ben Hucthings. First, propagate properly signed error codes back from efc_mcdi_poll_reboot() and also adjust temperature and voltage tolerances so that they do not prematurely trigger. Please pull, thanks a lot!
