[PATCH v2] hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_remove

Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove(). Alan describes it thus: The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the same time. In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup

[PATCH] gianfar: Fix TX ring processing on SMP machines

Starting with commit a3bc1f11e9b867a4f49505 (gianfar: Revive SKB recycling) gianfar driver sooner or later stops transmitting any packets on SMP machines. start_xmit() prepares new skb for transmitting, generally it does three things: 1. sets up all BDs (marks them ready to send), except the

[Patch v.2] mpc5200b/uart: improve baud rate calculation (reach high baud rates, better accuracy)

On the MPC5200B, make very high baud rates (e.g. 3 MBaud) accessible and achieve a higher precision for high baud rates in general. This is done by selecting the appropriate prescaler (/4 or /32). As to keep the code clean, the getuartclk method has been dropped, and all calculations are done
