d0de4dc584 inotify: fix double free/corruption of stuct user
On an error path in inotify_init1 a normal user can trigger a double
free of struct user.  This is a regression introduced by a2ae4cc9a1
("inotify: stop kernel memory leak on file creation failure").

We fix this by making sure that if a group exists the user reference is
dropped when the group is cleaned up.  We should not explictly drop the
reference on error and also drop the reference when the group is cleaned
up.

The new lifetime rules are that an inotify group lives from
inotify_new_group to the last fsnotify_put_group.  Since the struct user
and inotify_devs are directly tied to this lifetime they are only
changed/updated in those two locations.  We get rid of all special
casing of struct user or user->inotify_devs.

782b86e265 ide: always ensure that blk_delay_queue() is called if we have pending IO
Just because we are not requeuing a request does not mean that
some aren't pending. So always issue a blk_delay_queue() if
either we are requeueing OR there's pending IO.

This fixes a boot problem for some IDE boxes.

f83e826181 block: fix request sorting at unplug
Comparison function for list_sort() must be anticommutative,
otherwise it is not sorting in ordinary meaning.

But fortunately list_sort() always check ((*cmp)(priv, a, b) <= 0)
it not distinguish negative and zero, so comparison function can
implement only less-or-equal instead of full three-way comparison.

a63a5cf84d dm: improve block integrity support
The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return).  To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking).  But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.

Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template.  Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.

Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
  during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
  device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
  conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
  don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
  the point of no return)

7dcda1c96d fs: export empty_aops
With the ->sync_page() hook gone, we have a few users that
add their own static address_space_operations without any
functions defined.

fs/inode.c already has an empty_aops that it uses for init
purposes. Lets export that and use it in the places where
an otherwise empty aops was defined.

a6737ad15b drm/i915/lvds: Remove 0xa0 DDC probe for LVDS
This is a revert of 428d2e828c.

This is broken in the same manner as for VGA: trying to write to an
invalid address on the (currently 7-bit) i2c bus.

One notable failure appears to be for MacBooks. The scary part was that
it gave the appearance of working (i.e. reporting the absence of the
panel) on various all-in-one machines with ghost LVDS panels and not
failing for laptops.

0de009c900 drm/i915/crt: Remove 0xa0 probe for VGA
This is a moral revert of 6ec3d0c0e9.

Following the fix to reset the GMBUS controller after a NAK, we finally
utilize the 0xa0 probe for a CRT connection. And discover that the code
is broken. Shock.

There are a number of issues, but following a key insight from Dave
Airlie, that 0xA0 is an invalid address on a 7-bit bus (though not if we
were to enable 10-bit addressing), and would look like the EDID port
0x50, it is possible to see where the confusion starts.

In short, a write to 0xA0 is accepted by the GMBUS controller which we
interpreted as meaning the existence of a connection (a slave on the
other end of the wire ACKing the write). That was false.

During testing with a broken GMBUS implementation, which never reset an
earlier NAK, this test always reported a NAK and so we proceeded on to
the next test.

b987812b3f powerpc/kexec: Fix mismatched ifdefs for PPC64/SMP.
Commit b3df895aeb "powerpc/kexec: Add support for FSL-BookE"
introduced the original PPC_STD_MMU_64 checks around the function
crash_kexec_wait_realmode().   Then commit c2be05481f
"powerpc: Fix default_machine_crash_shutdown #ifdef botch" changed
the ifdef around the calling site to add a check on SMP, but the
ifdef around the function itself was left unchanged, leaving an
unused function for PPC_STD_MMU_64=y and SMP=n

Rather than have two ifdefs that can get out of sync like this,
simply put the corrected conditional around the function and use
a stub to get rid of one set of ifdefs completely.

c9ddec74aa Btrfs: don't warn in btrfs_add_orphan
When I moved the orphan adding to btrfs_truncate I missed the fact that during
orphan cleanup we just add the orphan items to the orphan list without going
through btrfs_orphan_add, which results in lots of warnings on mount if you have
any orphan items that need to be truncated.  Just remove this warning since it's
ok, this will allow all of the normal space accounting take place.  Thanks,

43be21462d Btrfs: fix free space cache when there are pinned extents and clusters V2
I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting
as an early ENOSPC.  Turns out when writing the free space cache out I
forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly
clusters.  This would result in us leaking free space everytime we
unmounted the filesystem and remounted it.

I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group
has a cluster and writing out any entries that are in the cluster to the
cache, as well as writing any pinned extents we currently have to the
cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs
mounts.

This patch also adds a check to the end of load_free_space_cache to make
sure we got the right amount of free space cache, and if not make sure
to clear the cache and re-cache the old fashioned way.

08fe4db170 Btrfs: Fix uninitialized root flags for subvolumes
root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when
a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added
readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you
may find the subvolumes in it are readonly.

To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags,
and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized.
When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if
not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

a5660b41af tty: fix endless work loop when the buffer fills up
Commit f23eb2b2b2 ('tty: stop using "delayed_work" in the tty layer')
ended up causing hung machines on UP with no preemption, because the
work routine to flip the buffer data to the ldisc would endlessly re-arm
itself if the destination buffer had filled up.

With the delayed work, that only caused a timer-driving polling of the
tty state every timer tick, but without the delay we just ended up with
basically a busy loop instead.

Stop the insane polling, and instead make the code that opens up the
receive room re-schedule the buffer flip work.  That's what we should
have been doing anyway.

This same "poll for tty room" issue is almost certainly also the cause
of excessive kworker activity when idle reported by Dave Jones, who also
reported "flush_to_ldisc executing 2500 times a second" back in Nov 2010:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/30/592

which is that silly flushing done every timer tick.  Wasting both power
and CPU for no good reason.
