In open_namei() we never use path.mnt or path.dentry after exit: or ok:.
Assignment of path.dentry in case of LAST_BIND is dead code and only
obfuscates already convoluted function; assignment of path.mnt after
__do_follow_link() can be moved down to the place where we set path.dentry.
Obviously equivalent transformations, just to clean the air a bit in that
region.

The first argument of __do_follow_link() switched to struct path *
(__do_follow_link(path->dentry, ...) -> __do_follow_link(path, ...)).
All callers have the same calls of mntget() right before and dput()/mntput()
right after __do_follow_link(); these calls have been moved inside.
Obviously equivalent transformations.

mntget(path->mnt) in do_follow_link() moved down to right before the
__do_follow_link() call and rigth after loop: resp.
dput()+mntput() on non-ELOOP branch moved up to right after __do_follow_link()
call.
resulting
loop:
mntget(path->mnt);
path_release(nd);
dput(path->mnt);
mntput(path->mnt);
replaced with equivalent
dput(path->mnt);
path_release(nd);
Equivalent transformations - the reason why we have that mntget() is that
__do_follow_link() can drop a reference to nd->mnt and that's what holds
path->mnt. So that call can happen at any point prior to __do_follow_link()
touching nd->mnt. The rest is obvious.
NOTE: current tree relies on symlinks *never* being mounted on anything. It's
not hard to get rid of that assumption (actually, that will come for free
later in the series). For now we are just not making the situation worse than
it is.

fix for too early mntput() in open_namei() - we pin path.mnt down for the
duration of __do_follow_link(). Otherwise we could get the fs where our
symlink lived unmounted while we were in __do_follow_link(). That would end
up with dentry of symlink staying pinned down through the fs shutdown.

path.mnt in open_namei() set to mirror nd->mnt.
nd->mnt is set in 3 places in that function - path_lookup() in the beginning,
__follow_down() loop after do_last: and __do_follow_link() call after
do_link:.
We set path.mnt to nd->mnt after path_lookup() and __do_follow_link(). In
__follow_down() loop we use &path.mnt instead of &nd->mnt and set nd->mnt to
path.mnt immediately after that loop.

OK, here comes a patch series that hopefully should close all
too-early-mntput() races in fs/namei.c. Entire area is convoluted as hell, so
I'm splitting that series into _very_ small chunks.
Patches alread in the tree close only (very wide) races in following symlinks
(see "busy inodes after umount" thread some time ago). Unfortunately, quite a
few narrower races of the same nature were not closed. Hopefully this should
take care of all of them.

Runtime feature support for unified caches was testing a userland feature
flag (PPC_FEATURE_UNIFIED_CACHE) instead of a cpu feature flag
(CPU_FTR_SPLIT_ID_CACHE). Luckily the current defined bit mask for cpu
features and userland features do not overlap so this only causes an issue
on machines with a unified cache, which is extremely rare on PPC today.

The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices. The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e. interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock. Replace tasklet with work queue.

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption. This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0. Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:
1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
itself.
2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
(orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly. A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure. That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer. A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check. On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel. Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.

* move CKEN=0 to pxa25x-specific code; that value is harmful on pxa27x.
* save/restore additional registers, including some found necessary for
C5 processors and/or newer blob versions.
* enable future support of additional sleep modes for PXA27x (eg,
standby, deep sleep).
* split off cpu-specific sleep processing between pxa27x and pxa25x into
separate files (partly in preparation for additional sleep modes).

Patch from Albrecht Dre
Problem:
When a module requests a DMA channel via the function s3c2410_dma_request(), this function requests the appropriate irq under the name of the client module. When the client module is unloaded, it calls s3c2410_dma_free() which does not free the irq. Consequently, when e.g. running "cat /proc/interrupts", the irq owner points to freed memory, leading to a kernel oops.
