As noted by Matthew Wilcox:
Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing
"memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of
ip_fast_csum. The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a
memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know.
The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have
the wrong checksum). It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3.
The GCC manual says:
If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable
fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This
will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers
across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads
to that memory.
I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this
problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent
this bug. Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.

AT91 has one include loop in its header files:

include/asm-arm/io.h
Circular include dependencies are dangerous since they can result in
inconsistent definitions being provided to other code, especially if
'#ifndef' constructs are used.
Solve this by removing the offending includes. Built tested using my
AT91 configuration.

Source code out there hard-codes a notion of what the
_LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION #define means in terms of the semantics of the
raw capability system calls capget() and capset(). Its unfortunate, but
true.
Since the confusing header file has been in a released kernel, there is
software that is erroneously using 64-bit capabilities with the semantics
of 32-bit compatibilities. These recently compiled programs may suffer
corruption of their memory when sys_getcap() overwrites more memory than
they are coded to expect, and the raising of added capabilities when using
sys_capset().
As such, this patch does a number of things to clean up the situation
for all. It
1. forces the _LINUX_CAPABILITY_VERSION define to always retain its
legacy value.
2. adopts a new #define strategy for the kernel's internal
implementation of the preferred magic.
3. deprecates v2 capability magic in favor of a new (v3) magic
number. The functionality of v3 is entirely equivalent to v2,
the only difference being that the v2 magic causes the kernel
to log a "deprecated" warning so the admin can find applications
that may be using v2 inappropriately.
[User space code continues to be encouraged to use the libcap API which
protects the application from details like this. libcap-2.10 is the first
to support v3 capabilities.]

When we introduced support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
we started to include the externam module's kbuild
file when doing the final modpost step.
As external modules often do:
ccflags-y := -I$(src)
We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and
gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in
strange build failures.
Fix is to assign $(src) and $(obj) when building
external modules.

When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts
memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been
unmapped. Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce
buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping
it fixes the problem.

If we fail to transmit a packet, we assume the queue is full and put
the skb into last_xmit_skb. However, if more space frees up before we
xmit it, we loop, and the result can be transmitting the same skb twice.
Fix is simple: set skb to NULL if we've used it in some way, and check
before sending.
