<title>net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.</title>

<id>4bb073c0e32a0862bdb5215d11af19f6c0180c98</id>
<content type='text'>
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver -&gt;stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

<title>rndis_host: increase delay in command response loop</title>

<id>74ef5c5025fed5ad6a1cbdfb5c2e831acdbbd2fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Some devices running some WinCE firmware (with SC_* Samsung processors
according to the SynCE project, verified on a HTC P3600 device) fail to
register because they apparently need extra time to respond correctly to
requests.  Increase the existing delay to satisfy them.  Based on code
from the SynCE project, on a suggestion of David Brownell.

This patch Works For Me(tm).

None of these files use any of the functionality promised by
asm/semaphore.h.  It's possible that they rely on it dragging in some
unrelated header file, but I can't build all these files, so we'll have
fix any build failures as they come up.
