locks: clarify posix_locks_deadlock
...
For such a short function (with such a long comment),
posix_locks_deadlock() seems to cause a lot of confusion. Attempt to
make it a bit clearer:
- Remove the initial posix_same_owner() check, which can never
pass (since this is only called in the case that block_fl and
caller_fl conflict)
- Use an explicit loop (and a helper function) instead of a goto.
- Rewrite the comment, attempting a clearer explanation, and
removing some uninteresting historical detail.

scsi: fix dependency bug in aic7 Makefile
...
Building the aic7xxx driver includes the copy
of an .h file from a _shipped file.
In a highly parallel build Ingo saw that the
build sometimes failed (included distcc usage).
It was tracked down to a missing dependency from the .c
source file to the generated .h file.
We started to build the .c file before the
copy (cat) operation of the .h file completed
and we then only got half of the definitions
from the copied .h file.
Add an explicit dependency from the .c files to the
generated .h files so make knows all dependencies and
finsih the build of the .h files before it starts
building the .o files.
Ingo tested this fix and reported:
good news: hundreds of successful kernel builds and no failures
overnight.

Documentation: mention email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches
...
I was struggling to get my email-client no to mangle my patch files,
and I didn't find enough information in the SubmittingPatches file.
By looking for more information on the web, I eventually found the
email-clients.txt file, and it answered all my needs
This patch adds a reference to email-clients.txt in SubmittingPatches,
and Mozilla related information which is no longer accurate
(as opposed to the details found in email-clients.txt).
This should be helpful for people sending their first patches,
or not sending patches on a frequent basis.
