dea3667bc3 vfs: get rid of insane dentry hashing rules
The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
while, in odd ways.  That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
and non-obvious.

In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit.  That's despite the fact that the hash
abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).

The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit
b3423415fb: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").

That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
and wouldn't be free'd correctly.

That's just insane.  It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.

So turn all of it around, and make it logical.

Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
logic for that.  Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
and everything makes sense.

And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
needs the RCU lifetime rules.  Now suddently that test at dentry free
time makes sense too.

And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
common code for the unhashing.

Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

625f2a378e sched: Get rid of lock_depth
Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work.  Let's get rid of it now.

Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

cfefd21e69 genirq: Add chip suspend and resume callbacks
These callbacks are only called in the syscore suspend/resume code on
interrupt chips which have been registered via the generic irq chip
mechanism. Calling those callbacks per irq would be rather icky, but

7f1b1244e1 genirq: Support per-IRQ thread disabling.
This adds support for disabling threading on a per-IRQ basis via the IRQ
status instead of the IRQ flow, which is necessary for interrupts that
don't follow the natural IRQ flow channels, such as those that are
virtually created.

The new APIs added are simply:

	irq_set_thread()
	irq_set_nothread()

which follow the rest of the IRQ status routines.

Chained handlers also have IRQ_NOTHREAD set on them automatically, making
the lack of threading explicit rather than implicit. Subsequently, the
nothread flag can be viewed through the standard genirq debugging
facilities.

764b0c4b32 drivers:misc:ti-st: handle delayed tty receive
When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for
the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be
invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered.

This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the
state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear
the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered.

This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack
and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which
bluetooth would have unregistered from the system.
OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without
sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt
data coming in after the driver is unregistered.

This is because security_inode_exec_permission unconditionally fails

primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in

341b7cde6c wl12xx: Handle platforms without level trigger interrupts
Some platforms are incapable of triggering on level interrupts. Add a
platform quirks member in the platform data structure, as well as an
edge interrupt quirk which can be set on such platforms.

When the interrupt is requested with IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING, IRQF_ONESHOT
cannot be used, as we might miss interrupts that occur after the FW
status is cleared and before the threaded interrupt handler exits.

Moreover, when IRQF_ONESHOT is not set, iterating more than once in the
threaded interrupt handler introduces a few race conditions between this
handler and the hardirq handler. Currently this is worked around by
limiting the loop to one iteration only. This workaround has an impact
on performance. To remove to this restriction, the race conditions will
need to be addressed.

c78193e9c7 next_pidmap: fix overflow condition
next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.

Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
(and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
checking the range of its arguments.

So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT.  The fact that we then do "last+1"
doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
overflow).

[ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

6ddafdaab3 Merge branch 'sched/locking' into sched/core
Merge reason: the rq locking changes are stable,
              propagate them into the .40 queue.

24ecfbe27f block: add blk_run_queue_async
Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly.  I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

1791f88143 posix clocks: Replace mutex with reader/writer semaphore
A dynamic posix clock is protected from asynchronous removal by a mutex.
However, using a mutex has the unwanted effect that a long running clock
operation in one process will unnecessarily block other processes.

For example, one process might call read() to get an external time stamp
coming in at one pulse per second. A second process calling clock_gettime
would have to wait for almost a whole second.

This patch fixes the issue by using a reader/writer semaphore instead of
a mutex.

af1db72d8b md/dm - remove remains of plug_fn callback.
Now that unplugging is done differently, the unplug_fn callback is
never called, so it can be completely discarded.

b4cb290e0a Revert "block: add callback function for unplug notification"
MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to
keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit
048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this
now unused code.

This reverts commit f75664570d.

048c9374a7 block: Enhance new plugging support to support general callbacks
md/raid requires an unplug callback, but as it does not uses
requests the current code cannot provide one.

So allow arbitrary callbacks to be attached to the blk_plug.

a237c1c5bc block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline
Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
we should be able to get the best of both worlds.

So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
and only use that from the schedule() path.
