struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".
But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:
[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.
loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

- A potential double skb free when the LLCP socket receive queue is full.
- A fix for properly handling multiple and consecutive LLCP connections, and

clk: tegra: Allow PLLE training to succeed
Under some circumstances the PLLE needs to be retrained, in which case
access to the PMC registers is required. Fix this by passing a pointer
to the PMC registers instead of NULL when registering the PLLE clock.

that all history was reset when writing a single attribute. Replace with more

Replace 'internal temperature" with "chip temperature". Temperature limits
not only apply to the chip temperature, but also to external temperatures
