V4: * rebase against net tree * fix a compile error in patch 9 * update patch 7 as Stephen suggested V3: * add more patches * update patch 7 as David suggested V2: * update patch 1/8 as Eric suggested * drop the bridge patch, add comments instead * add patch 8/8 This patchset fixes serval problems in netconsole and netpoll. I ran this patch in my KVM guest with some netpoll test cases, even covered with some corner cases, everything worked as expected. BTW, my kernel config enables the following validatation options: CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=60 CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR=y Cc: "David S.
