In the scsi_transport_srp implementation it cannot be avoided to
iterate over a klist from atomic context when using the legacy block
layer instead of blk-mq. Hence this patch that makes it safe to use
klists in atomic context. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the
following:

The starting node for a klist iteration is often passed in from
somewhere way above the klist infrastructure, meaning there's no
guarantee the node is still on the list. We've seen this in SCSI where
we use bus_find_device() to iterate through a list of devices. In the
face of heavy hotplug activity, the last device returned by
bus_find_device() can be removed before the next call. This leads to

And an eventual crash. It can actually occur in any hotplug system
which has a device finder and a starting device.
We can fix this globally by making sure the starting node for
klist_iter_init_node() is actually a member of the list before using it
(and by starting from the beginning if it isn't).

The name was modified from hlist_add_after() to hlist_add_behind() when
adjusting the order of arguments to match the one with

use it the wrong way.
Make klist follow this naming scheme for consistency.

There is a race between klist_remove and klist_release. klist_remove
uses a local var waiter saved on stack. When klist_release calls
wake_up_process(waiter->process) to wake up the waiter, waiter might run
immediately and reuse the stack. Then, klist_release calls
list_del(&waiter->list) to change previous
wait data and cause prior waiter thread corrupt.
The patch fixes it against kernel 3.9.

Removing the completion from klist_node reduces its size from 64 bytes
to 28 on x86-64. To maintain the semantics of klist_remove(), we add
a single list of klist nodes which are pending deletion and scan them.

A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
iteration.
This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
iteration can skip already deleted entries. The dead flag piggy backs
on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
implementation proper.
While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

Add klist_add_after() and klist_add_before() which puts a new node
after and before an existing node, respectively. This is useful for
callers which need to keep klist ordered. Note that synchronizing
between simultaneous additions for ordering is the caller's
responsibility.

The klist utility routines currently call _put methods while holding a
spinlock. This is of course illegal; a put routine could try to
unregister a device and hence need to sleep.
No problems have arisen until now because in many cases klist removals
were done synchronously, so the _put methods were never actually used.
In other cases we may simply have been lucky.
This patch (as784) reworks the klist routines so that _put methods are
called only _after_ the klist's spinlock has been released.

The klist reference counting in the find functions that use
klist_iter_init_node is broken. If the function (for example
driver_find_device) is called with a NULL start object then everything is
fine, the first call to next_device()/klist_next increases the ref-count of
the first node on the list and does nothing for the start object which is
NULL.
If they are called with a valid start object then klist_next will decrement
the ref-count for the start object but nobody has incremented it. Logical
place to fix this would be klist_iter_init_node because the function puts a
reference of the object into the klist_iter struct.

The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.
The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.
(akpm: fast-track this because it's needed for the 2.6.13 scsi merge)

at the moment, the list_head semantics are
list_add(node, head)
whereas current klist semantics are
klist_add(head, node)
This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it
should follow the list_head semantics.
I also added missing include guards to klist.h

This klist interface provides a couple of structures that wrap around
struct list_head to provide explicit list "head" (struct klist) and
list "node" (struct klist_node) objects. For struct klist, a spinlock
is included that protects access to the actual list itself. struct
klist_node provides a pointer to the klist that owns it and a kref
reference count that indicates the number of current users of that node
in the list.
The entire point is to provide an interface for iterating over a list
that is safe and allows for modification of the list during the
iteration (e.g. insertion and removal), including modification of the
current node on the list.
It works using a 3rd object type - struct klist_iter - that is declared
and initialized before an iteration. klist_next() is used to acquire the
next element in the list. It returns NULL if there are no more items.

Internally, that routine takes the klist's lock, decrements the reference
count of the previous klist_node and increments the count of the next
klist_node. It then drops the lock and returns.
There are primitives for adding and removing nodes to/from a klist.
When deleting, klist_del() will simply decrement the reference count.
Only when the count goes to 0 is the node removed from the list.
klist_remove() will try to delete the node from the list and block
until it is actually removed. This is useful for objects (like devices)
that have been removed from the system and must be freed (but must wait
until all accessors have finished).
