sched: Pull up the might_sleep() check into cond_resched()
might_sleep() is called late-ish in cond_resched(), after the
need_resched()/preempt enabled/system running tests are
checked.
It's better to check the sleeps while atomic earlier and not
depend on some environment datas that reduce the chances to
detect a problem.
Also define cond_resched_*() helpers as macros, so that the
FILE/LINE reported in the sleeping while atomic warning
displays the real origin and not sched.h
Changes in v2:
- Call __might_sleep() directly instead of might_sleep() which
may call cond_resched()
- Turn cond_resched() into a macro so that the file:line
couple reported refers to the caller of cond_resched() and
not __cond_resched() itself.
Changes in v3:
- Also propagate this __might_sleep() pull up to
cond_resched_lock() and cond_resched_softirq()
sched: Add a preempt count base offset to __might_sleep()
Add a preempt count base offset to compare against the current
preempt level count. It prepares to pull up the might_sleep
check from cond_resched() to cond_resched_lock() and
cond_resched_bh().
For these two helpers, we need to respectively ensure that once
we'll unlock the given spinlock / reenable local softirqs, we
will reach a sleepable state.

We want to set _spin_*:traceon:10 to set_ftrace_filter, it complains
with "Invalid argument", but the operation is successful.
This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that
matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned
by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes
virtually written.
Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case.
If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written
by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with
a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned.
So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.
The fix also applies on 2.6.30

n_tty: Fix echo race
If a tty in N_TTY mode with echo enabled manages to get itself into a state
where
- echo characters are pending
- FASYNC is enabled
- tty_write_wakeup is called from either
- a device write path (pty)
- an IRQ (serial)
then it either deadlocks or explodes taking a mutex in the IRQ path.
On the serial side it is almost impossible to reproduce because you have to
go from a full serial port to a near empty one with echo characters
pending. The pty case happens to have become possible to trigger using
emacs and ptys, the pty changes having created a scenario which shows up
this bug.
The code path is
n_tty:process_echoes() (takes mutex)
tty_io:tty_put_char()
pty:pty_write (or serial paths)
tty_wakeup (from pty_write or serial IRQ)

from the option USB-serial driver. Clearly there's no need to verify
that the device pointer stored in the URBs is right or to store the
same pointer over again. After all, the pointer can't change once it
has been set up.
There's also no need to call usb_clear_halt for the IN endpoint
multiple times -- in fact, doing so is an error since every time after
the first there will be active URBs queued for that endpoint. Since
the Clear-Halts don't appear to be needed at all, the patch simply
removes them.

USB: cypress_m8: remove invalid Clear-Halt
This patch (as1265) removes an erroneous call to usb_clear_halt from
the cypress_m8 driver. The call isn't valid because it is made from
interrupt context whereas usb_clear_halt is a blocking routine.
Presumably the code has never been executed; if it did it would cause
an oops. So instead treat -EPIPE like any other sort of unexplained
error.
