fs: add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP flag for d_flags
Btrfs (and I'd venture most other fs's) stores its indexes in nice disk order
for readdir, but unfortunately in the case of anything that stats the files in
order that readdir spits back (like oh say ls) that means we still have to do
the normal lookup of the file, which means looking up our other index and then
looking up the inode. What I want is a way to create dummy dentries when we
find them in readdir so that when ls or anything else subsequently does a
stat(), we already have the location information in the dentry and can go
straight to the inode itself. The lookup stuff just assumes that if it finds a
dentry it is done, it doesn't perform a lookup. So add a DCACHE_NEED_LOOKUP
flag so that the lookup code knows it still needs to run i_op->lookup() on the
parent to get the inode for the dentry. I have tested this with btrfs and I
went from something that looks like this

vmscan: fix a livelock in kswapd
I'm running a workload which triggers a lot of swap in a machine with 4
nodes. After I kill the workload, I found a kswapd livelock. Sometimes
kswapd3 or kswapd2 are keeping running and I can't access filesystem,
but most memory is free.
This looks like a regression since commit 08951e545918c159 ("mm: vmscan:
correct check for kswapd sleeping in sleeping_prematurely").
Node 2 and 3 have only ZONE_NORMAL, but balance_pgdat() will return 0
for classzone_idx. The reason is end_zone in balance_pgdat() is 0 by
default, if all zones have watermark ok, end_zone will keep 0.
Later sleeping_prematurely() always returns true. Because this is an
order 3 wakeup, and if classzone_idx is 0, both balanced_pages and
present_pages in pgdat_balanced() are 0. We add a special case here.
If a zone has no page, we think it's balanced. This fixes the livelock.

GFS2: Resolve inode eviction and ail list interaction bug
This patch contains a few misc fixes which resolve a recently
reported issue. This patch has been a real team effort and has
received a lot of testing.
The first issue is that the ail lock needs to be held over a few
more operations. The lock thats added into gfs2_releasepage() may
possibly be a candidate for replacing with RCU at some future
point, but at this stage we've gone for the obvious fix.
The second issue is that gfs2_write_inode() can end up calling
a glock recursively when called from gfs2_evict_inode() via the
syncing code, so it needs a guard added.
The third issue is that we either need to not truncate the metadata
pages of inodes which have zero link count, but which we cannot
deallocate due to them still being in use by other nodes, or we need
to ensure that those pages have all made it through the journal and
ail lists first. This patch takes the former approach, but the
latter has also been tested and there is nothing to choose between
them performance-wise. So again, we could revise that decision
in the future.
Also, the inode eviction process is now better documented.

[media] dvb_frontend: fix race condition in stopping/starting frontend
Attached is a patch which addresses a race condition in the DVB core
related to closing/reopening the DVB frontend device in quick
succession. This is the reason that devices such as the HVR-1300,
HVR-3000, and HVR-4000 have been failing to scan properly under MythTV
and w_scan.
The gory details of the race are described in the patch.
Devin
There is a race condition exhibited when channel scanners such as w_scan and
MythTV quickly close and then reopen the frontend device node.
Under normal conditions, the behavior is as follows:
1. Application closes the device node
2. DVB frontend ioctl calls dvb_frontend_release which sets
fepriv->release_jiffies
3. DVB frontend thread *eventually* calls dvb_frontend_is_exiting() which
compares fepriv->release_jiffies, and shuts down the thread if timeout has
expired
4. Thread goes away
5. Application opens frontend device
6. DVB frontend ioctl() calls ts_bus_ctrl(1)
7. DVB frontend ioctl() creates new frontend thread, which calls
dvb_frontend_init(), which has demod driver init() routine setup initial
register state for demod chip.
8. Tuning request is issued.
The race occurs when the application in step 5 performs the new open() call
before the frontend thread is shutdown. In this case the ts_bus_ctrl() call
is made, which strobes the RESET pin on the demodulator, but the
dvb_frontend_init() function never gets called because the frontend thread
hasn't gone away yet. As a result, the initial register config for the demod
is *never* setup, causing subsequent tuning requests to fail.
If there is time between the close and open (enough for the dvb frontend
thread to be torn down), then in that case the new frontend thread is created
and thus the dvb_frontend_init() function does get called.
The fix is to set the flag which forces reinitialization if we did in fact
call ts_bus_ctrl().
This problem has been seen on the HVR-1300, HVR-3000, and HVR-4000, and is
likely occuring on other designs as well where ts_bus_ctrl() actually strobes
the reset pin on the demodulator.
Note that this patch should supercede any patches submitted for the
1300/3000/4000 which remove the code that removes GPIO code in
cx8802_dvb_advise_acquire(), which have been circulating by users for some
time now...

mmc: core: Bus width testing needs to handle suspend/resume
On reading the ext_csd for the first time (in 1 bit mode), save the
ext_csd information needed for bus width compare.
On every pass we make re-reading the ext_csd, compare the data
against the saved ext_csd data.
This fixes a regression introduced in 3.0-rc1 by 08ee80cc397ac1a3
("mmc: core: eMMC bus width may not work on all platforms"), which
incorrectly assumed we would be re-reading the ext_csd at resume-
time.

ACPI: Fix lockdep false positives in acpi_power_off()
All ACPICA locks are allocated by the same function,
acpi_os_create_lock(), with the help of a local variable called
"lock". Thus, when lockdep is enabled, it uses "lock" as the
name of all those locks and regards them as instances of the same
lock, which causes it to report possible locking problems with them
when there aren't any.
To work around this problem, define acpi_os_create_lock() as a macro
and make it pass its argument to spin_lock_init(), so that lockdep
uses it as the name of the new lock. Define this macron in a
Linux-specific file, to minimize the resulting modifications of
the OS-independent ACPICA parts.
This change is based on an earlier patch from Andrea Righi and it
addresses a regression from 2.6.39 tracked as

rcu: Prevent RCU callbacks from executing before scheduler initialized
Under some rare but real combinations of configuration parameters, RCU
callbacks are posted during early boot that use kernel facilities that
are not yet initialized. Therefore, when these callbacks are invoked,
hard hangs and crashes ensue. This commit therefore prevents RCU
callbacks from being invoked until after the scheduler is fully up and
running, as in after multiple tasks have been spawned.
It might well turn out that a better approach is to identify the specific
RCU callbacks that are causing this problem, but that discussion will
wait until such time as someone really needs an RCU callback to be invoked
(as opposed to merely registered) during early boot.
