The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high
loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan.
The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go
CPU #1 CPU #2
need to throttle ?
suppose we should buffer space cleared
are we throttled
yes ? - unthrottle
call throttle method
This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios
lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle
methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody
really locks them against a racing change of flow control).
This does mean that anyone who is setting tty->low_latency = 1 and then
calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up
collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus
users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so
catching it would be an improvement.

In commit code, we scan buffers attached to a transaction. During this
scan, we sometimes have to drop j_list_lock and then we recheck whether
the journal buffer head didn't get freed by journal_try_to_free_buffers().
But checking for buffer_jbd(bh) isn't enough because a new journal head
could get attached to our buffer head. So add a check whether the journal
head remained the same and whether it's still at the same transaction and
list.
This is a nasty bug and can cause problems like memory corruption (use after
free) or trigger various assertions in JBD code (observed).

The recent ->lookup() deadlock correction required the directory inode
mutex to be dropped while waiting for expire completion. We were
concerned about side effects from this change and one has been identified.
I saw several error messages.
They cause autofs to become quite confused and don't really point to the
actual problem.
Things like:
handle_packet_missing_direct:1376: can't find map entry for (43,1827932)
which is usually totally fatal (although in this case it wouldn't be
except that I treat is as such because it normally is).
do_mount_direct: direct trigger not valid or already mounted
/test/nested/g3c/s1/ss1
which is recoverable, however if this problem is at play it can cause
autofs to become quite confused as to the dependencies in the mount tree
because mount triggers end up mounted multiple times. It's hard to
accurately check for this over mounting case and automount shouldn't need
to if the kernel module is doing its job.
There was one other message, similar in consequence of this last one but I
can't locate a log example just now.
When checking if a mount has already completed prior to adding a new mount
request to the wait queue we check if the dentry is hashed and, if so, if
it is a mount point. But, if a mount successfully completed while we
slept on the wait queue mutex the dentry must exist for the mount to have
completed so the test is not really needed.
Mounts can also be done on top of a global root dentry, so for the above
case, where a mount request completes and the wait queue entry has already
been removed, the hashed test returning false can cause an incorrect
callback to the daemon. Also, d_mountpoint() is not sufficient to check
if a mount has completed for the multi-mount case when we don't have a
real mount at the base of the tree.

Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )
Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)
When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.
Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.
This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and
should be backported to stable versions.

md has functionality to 'quiesce' and array so that all pending
IO completed and no new IO starts. This is used to achieve a
stable state before making internal changes.
Currently this quiescing applies equally to normal IO, resync
IO, and reshape IO.
However there is a problem with applying it to reshape IO.
Reshape can have multiple 'stripe_heads' that must be active together.
If the quiesce come between allocating the first and the last of
such a collection, then we deadlock, as the last will not be allocated
until the quiesce is lifted, the quiesce will not be lifted until the
first (which has been allocated) gets used, and that first cannot be
used until the last is allocated.
It is not necessary to inhibit reshape IO when a quiesce is
requested. Those places in the code that require a full quiesce will
ensure the reshape thread is not running at all.
So allow reshape requests to get access to new stripe_heads without
being blocked by a 'quiesce'.
This only affects in-place reshapes (i.e. where the array does not
grow or shrink) and these are only newly supported. So this patch is
not needed in earlier kernels.

Our async work synchronization was broken by "async: make sure
independent async domains can't accidentally entangle" (commit
d5a877e8dd), because it would report
the wrong lowest active async ID when there was both running and
pending async work.
This caused things like no being able to read the root filesystem,
resulting in missing console devices and inability to run 'init',
causing a boot-time panic.
This fixes it by properly returning the lowest pending async ID: if
there is any running async work, that will have a lower ID than any
pending work, and we should _not_ look at the pending work list.
There were alternative patches from Jaswinder and James, but this one
also cleans up the code by removing the pointless 'ret' variable and
the unnecesary testing for an empty list around 'for_each_entry()' (if
the list is empty, the for_each_entry() thing just won't execute).

The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
