Following a report of a crash during an automount expire I found that
the locking in fs/autofs4/expire.c:get_next_positive_subdir() was wrong.
Not only is the locking wrong but the function is more complex than it
needs to be.
The function is meant to calculate (and dget) the next entry in the list
of directories contained in the root of an autofs mount point (an autofs
indirect mount to be precise). The main problem was that the d_lock of
the owner of the list was not being taken when walking the list, which
lead to list corruption under load. The only other lock that needs to
be taken is against the next dentry candidate so it can be checked for
usability.

eDP is tons of fun. It turns out that at least the new MacBook Air 5,1
model absolutely doesn't like the new force vdd dance we've introduced
in
commit 6cb49835da
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date: Sun May 20 17:14:50 2012 +0200
drm/i915: enable vdd when switching off the eDP panel
But that patch also tried to fix some neat edp sequence issue with the
force_vdd timings. Closer inspection reveals that we've raised
force_vdd only to do the aux channel communication dp_sink_dpms. If we
move the edp_panel_off below that, we don't need any force_vdd for the
disable sequence, which makes the Air happy.
Unfortunately the reporter of the original bug that the above commit
fixed is travelling, so we can't test whether this regresses things.
But my theory is that since we don't check for any power-off ->
force_vdd-on delays in edp_panel_vdd_on, this was the actual
root-cause of this failure. With that force_vdd dance completely
eliminated, I'm hopeful the original bug stays fixed, too.
For reference the old bug, which hopefully doesn't get broken by this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43163
In any case, regression fixers win over plain bugfixes, so this needs
to go in asap.
v2: The crucial pieces seems to be to clear the force_vdd flag
uncoditionally, too, in edp_panel_off. Looks like this is left behind
by the firmware somehow.
v3: The Apple firmware seems to switch off the panel on it's own, hence
we still need to keep force_vdd on, but properly clear it when switching
the panel off.

i2c_add_adapter() may do i2c transfers on the bus to detect supported
devices. Therefore the adapter needs to be all set before adding it. This
was not the case for the bit-banging fallback, resulting in an oops if the
device detection GMBUS transfers timed out. Fix the issue by calling
i2c_add_adapter() only after intel_gpio_setup().

It seems we can not update the crtc scanout address. After disabling
crtc, update to base address do not take effect after crtc being
reenable leading to at least frame being scanout from the old crtc
base address. Disabling crtc display request lead to same behavior.
So after changing the vram address if we don't keep crtc disabled
we will have the GPU trying to read some random system memory address
with some iommu this will broke the crtc engine and will lead to
broken display and iommu error message.
So to avoid this, disable crtc. For flicker less boot we will need
to avoid moving the vram start address.

Here's a quote of the comment about the BUG macro from asm-generic/bug.h:
Don't use BUG() or BUG_ON() unless there's really no way out; one
example might be detecting data structure corruption in the middle
of an operation that can't be backed out of. If the (sub)system
can somehow continue operating, perhaps with reduced functionality,
it's probably not BUG-worthy.
If you're tempted to BUG(), think again: is completely giving up
really the *only* solution? There are usually better options, where
users don't need to reboot ASAP and can mostly shut down cleanly.
In our case, the status flag of a ring buffer slot is managed from both sides,
the kernel space and the user space. This means that even though the kernel
side might work as expected, the user space screws up and changes this flag
right between the send(2) is triggered when the flag is changed to
TP_STATUS_SENDING and a given skb is destructed after some time. Then, this
will hit the BUG macro. As David suggested, the best solution is to simply
remove this statement since it cannot be used for kernel side internal
consistency checks. I've tested it and the system still behaves /stable/ in
this case, so in accordance with the above comment, we should rather remove it.
