The tx_queued was indicator but should be really a counter else
first fragmented packet resets tx_queued flag, but there may be

New semantics:
tx_ready - set, if hw is ready to send packet, no packet is being

set the flag right at the place where data are copied

tx_queued - count of enqueued packets, including fragments

nonzero value breaks the baud rate detection.

nommu: fix kobjsize() for SLOB and SLUB
kobjsize() has been abusing page->index as a method for sorting out
compound order, which blows up both for page cache pages, and SLOB's
reuse of the index in struct slob_page.
Presently we are not able to accurately size arbitrary pointers that
don't come from kmalloc(), so the best we can do is sort out the
compound order from the head page if it's a compound page, or default
to 0-order if it's impossible to ksize() the object.
Obviously this leaves quite a bit to be desired in terms of object
sizing accuracy, but the behaviour is unchanged over the existing
implementation, while fixing the page->index oopses originally reported
here:
Accuracy could also be improved by having SLUB and SLOB both set PG_slab
on ksizeable pages, rather than just handling the __GFP_COMP cases
irregardless of the PG_slab setting, as made possibly with Pekka's
patches:
This is primarily a bugfix for nommu systems for 2.6.26, with the aim
being to gradually kill off kobjsize() and its particular brand of
object abuse entirely.

md: fix prexor vs sync_request race
During the initial array synchronization process there is a window between
when a prexor operation is scheduled to a specific stripe and when it
completes for a sync_request to be scheduled to the same stripe. When
this happens the prexor completes and the stripe is unconditionally marked
"insync", effectively canceling the sync_request for the stripe. Prior to
2.6.23 this was not a problem because the prexor operation was done under
sh->lock. The effect in older kernels being that the prexor would still
erroneously mark the stripe "insync", but sync_request would be held off
and re-mark the stripe as "!in_sync".
Change the write completion logic to not mark the stripe "in_sync" if a
prexor was performed. The effect of the change is to sometimes not set
STRIPE_INSYNC. The worst this can do is cause the resync to stall waiting
for STRIPE_INSYNC to be set. If this were happening, then STRIPE_SYNCING
would be set and handle_issuing_new_read_requests would cause all
available blocks to eventually be read, at which point prexor would never
be used on that stripe any more and STRIPE_INSYNC would eventually be set.
echo repair > /sys/block/mdN/md/sync_action will correct arrays that may
have lost this race.
