Return a negative error code on failure.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
identifier ret; expression e1,e2;
@@
(
if (\(ret &lt; 0\|ret != 0\))

    when != &amp;ret
*if(...)
{
  ... when != ret = e2
      when forall

Use helper functions to access current-&gt;state.
Direct assignments are prone to races and therefore buggy.

current-&gt;state = TASK_RUNNING is replaced by __set_current_state()

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the exact definition of the problem.

<title>net: wan: add missing virt_to_bus dependencies</title>

The cosa driver is rather outdated and does not get built on most
platforms because it requires the ISA_DMA_API symbol. However
there are some ARM platforms that have ISA_DMA_API but no virt_to_bus,
and they get this build error when enabling the ltpc driver.

drivers/net/wan/cosa.c: In function 'tx_interrupt':
drivers/net/wan/cosa.c:1768:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'virt_to_bus'
   unsigned long addr = virt_to_bus(cosa-&gt;txbuf);
   ^

The same problem exists for the Hostess SV-11 and Sealevel Systems 4021
drivers.

This adds another dependency in Kconfig to avoid that configuration.

<title>net: better IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE support</title>

<id>0287587884b15041203b3a362d485e1ab1f24445</id>
<content type='text'>
Testing xmit_more support with netperf and connected UDP sockets,
I found strange dst refcount false sharing.

Current handling of IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not optimal.

Dropping dst in validate_xmit_skb() is certainly too late in case
packet was queued by cpu X but dequeued by cpu Y

The logical point to take care of drop/force is in __dev_queue_xmit()
before even taking qdisc lock.

As Julian Anastasov pointed out, need for skb_dst() might come from some
packet schedulers or classifiers.

This patch adds new helper to cleanly express needs of various drivers
or qdiscs/classifiers.

Drivers that need skb_dst() in their ndo_start_xmit() should call
following helper in their setup instead of the prior :

	dev-&gt;priv_flags &amp;= ~IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE;
-&gt;
	netif_keep_dst(dev);

Instead of using a single bit, we use two bits, one being
eventually rebuilt in bonding/team drivers.

The other one, is permanent and blocks IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE being
rebuilt in bonding/team. Eventually, we could add something
smarter later.
