staging: line6: separate handling of buffer allocation and stream startup
There are several features of the Line6 USB driver which require PCM
data to be exchanged with the device:
*) PCM playback and capture via ALSA
*) software monitoring (for devices without hardware monitoring)
*) optional impulse response measurement
However, from the device's point of view, there is just a single
capture and playback stream, which must be shared between these
subsystems. It is therefore necessary to maintain the state of the
subsystems with respect to PCM usage. We define several constants of
the form LINE6_BIT_PCM_<subsystem>_<direction>_<resource> with the
following meanings:
*) <subsystem> is one of
-) ALSA: PCM playback and capture via ALSA
-) MONITOR: software monitoring
-) IMPULSE: optional impulse response measurement
*) <direction> is one of
-) PLAYBACK: audio output (from host to device)
-) CAPTURE: audio input (from device to host)
*) <resource> is one of
-) BUFFER: buffer required by PCM data stream
-) STREAM: actual PCM data stream
The subsystems call line6_pcm_acquire() to acquire the (shared)
resources needed for a particular operation (e.g., allocate the buffer
for ALSA playback or start the capture stream for software monitoring).
When a resource is no longer needed, it is released by calling
line6_pcm_release(). Buffer allocation and stream startup are handled
separately to allow the ALSA kernel driver to perform them at
appropriate places (since the callback which starts a PCM stream is not
allowed to sleep).

staging: r8712u: Simplify semaphores
I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.
One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.
In addition, several cases had the following structure:
down()
if () {
...
}
up()
The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.

Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol. New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow. For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions. Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate. Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed. Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.

staging: android/lowmemorykiller: Better mm handling
LMK should not directly check for task->mm. The reason is that the
process' threads may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other
threads may still have a valid mm. To catch this we use
find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and returns an
appropriate task (with lock held).
Grabbing tasklist_lock has its disadvantages, i.e. it blocks
process creation and destruction. If there are lots of processes,
blocking doesn't sound as a great idea.
For LMK, it is sufficient to surround tasks list traverse with
rcu_read_{,un}lock().
>From now on using force_sig() is not safe, as it can race with an
already exiting task, so we use send_sig() now. As a downside, it
won't kill PID namespace init processes, but that's not what we
want anyway.
