b5f9d55b64 [PATCH] s390: set online race in the lcs driver
[patch 3/10] s390: set online race in the lcs driver.

From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>

There is a race between lcs_stopcard() and lcs_open_device() which
can lead to the error 'lcs: Error in starting channel, rc=-16'.
lcs_open_device() is invoked when 'ifconfig up' is called due to a
hotplug event, which is caused by register_netdev(). In parallel
lcs_stopcard() is executed. Both functions are sending lcs commands.
The second invocation fails with -EBUSY (-16) as return value.
Move invocation of register_netdev() after invocation of lcs_stopcard
to avoid the race.

109a260b66 [PATCH] s390: multicast address registration in lcs
[patch 2/10] s390: multicast address registration in lcs.

From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>

When setting lcs devices online you can run into an endless loop,
because the code that registers the multicast addresses uses
list_for_each_entry instead of list_for_each_entry_safe.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
