x86: tlb flush avoid superflous leave_mm()
If just one page VA tlb is required to be flushed and current task is in
lazy TLB state, doing leave_mm() is superfluous because it flushes the
whole TLB. This can reduce some TLB miss.

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c: fix Oops on container destroy
Problem:
A repeatable Oops can be caused if a container with networking
unshared is destroyed when it has nf_conntrack entries yet to expire.
A copy of the oops follows below. A perl program generating the oops
repeatably is attached inline below.
Analysis:
The oops is called from cleanup_net when the namespace is
destroyed. conntrack iterates through outstanding events and calls
death_by_timeout on each of them, which in turn produces a call to
ctnetlink_conntrack_event. This calls nf_netlink_has_listeners, which
oopses because net->nfnl is NULL.
The perl program generates the container through fork() then
clone(NS_NEWNET). I does not explicitly set up netlink
explicitly set up netlink, but I presume it was set up else net->nfnl
would have been NULL earlier (i.e. when an earlier connection
timed out). This would thus suggest that net->nfnl is made NULL
during the destruction of the container, which I think is done by
nfnetlink_net_exit_batch.
I can see that the various subsystems are deinitialised in the opposite
order to which the relevant register_pernet_subsys calls are called,
and both nf_conntrack and nfnetlink_net_ops register their relevant
subsystems. If nfnetlink_net_ops registered later than nfconntrack,
then its exit routine would have been called first, which would cause
the oops described. I am not sure there is anything to prevent this
happening in a container environment.
Whilst there's perhaps a more complex problem revolving around ordering
of subsystem deinit, it seems to me that missing a netlink event on a
container that is dying is not a disaster. An early check for net->nfnl
being non-NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event appears to fix this. There
may remain a potential race condition if it becomes NULL immediately
after being checked (I am not sure any lock is held at this point or
how synchronisation for subsystem deinitialization works).
Patch:
The patch attached should apply on everything from 2.6.26 (if not before)
onwards; it appears to be a problem on all kernels. This was taken against
Ubuntu-3.0.0-11.17 which is very close to 3.0.4. I have torture-tested it
with the above perl script for 15 minutes or so; the perl script hung the
machine within 20 seconds without this patch.
Applicability:
If this is the right solution, it should be applied to all stable kernels
as well as head. Apart from the minor overhead of checking one variable
against NULL, it can never 'do the wrong thing', because if net->nfnl
is NULL, an oops will inevitably result. Therefore, checking is a reasonable
thing to do unless it can be proven than net->nfnl will never be NULL.
Check net->nfnl for NULL in ctnetlink_conntrack_event to avoid Oops on
container destroy

Bluetooth: Periodic Inquiry and Discovery
By using periodic inquiry command we're not able to detect correctly
when the controller has started inquiry.
Today we have this workaround in inquiry result event handler
to set the HCI_INQUIRY flag when it sees the first inquiry result
event. This workaround isn't enough because the device may be
performing an inquiry but the HCI_INQUIRY flag is not set. For
instance, if there is no device in range, no inquiry result event
is generated, consequently, the HCI_INQUIRY flags isn't set when
it should so.
We rely on HCI_INQUIRY flag to implement the discovery procedure
properly. So, as we aren't able to clear/set the HCI_INQUIRY flag
in a reliable manner, periodic inquiry events shouldn't change
the HCI_INQUIRY flag.
Thus, due to that issue and in order to keep compatibility with
userspace, periodic inquiry events shouldn't send mgmt discovering
events.
In future, we might track if periodic inquiry is enabled or not.
By tracking this state we'll be able to do some improvements in
Discovery such as failing MGMT_OP_START_DISCOVERY command in case
periodic inquiry is on. We can also send no mgmt_device_found
event if periodic inquiry is on.
