[Ursula Braun]

-- 
qeth patches for 2.6.23-rc3:
- do not allow interruption of "ungroup"
- scatter gather mode: enforce rate limit
- don't return void function return values
- add tx checkumming for TSO/EDDP mode
- invoke qeth_clear_output_buffer only for allocated qdio queues.
- add specific message for exclusively used OSA-adapters
- drop ARP packets on HiperSockets

[patch 1/7] qeth: ungrouping a device must not be interruptible

[Ursula Braun]

[-- Attachment #1: 703-qeth-ungroup.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1494 bytes --]

From: Ursula Braun <braunu@de.ibm.com>

Problem:
A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed.
In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used
to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really
interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery
is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed
from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth
results in a kernel OOPS here.

Solution:
Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee
finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.

[patch 2/7] qeth: enforce a rate limit for inbound scatter gather messages

[Ursula Braun]

[-- Attachment #1: 704-qeth-rate-limit.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1369 bytes --]

From: Frank Blaschka <frank.blaschka@de.ibm.com>

under memory pressure scatter gather mode switching messages must be
rate limited.
