e578e9a1cc i2o: destroy event queue only when drv->event is set
i2o_driver_register() initalizes event queue for driver only when
drv->event is set.  So similarly the event queue should be destroyed only
when drv->event is set in the error path.  Otherwise destroy_workqueue()
will called with NULL.

b3762bfc8d signalfd: retrieve multiple signals with one read() call
Gathering signals in bulk enables server applications to drain a signal
queue (almost full of realtime signals) more efficiently by reducing the
syscall and file look-up overhead.

Very similar to the sigtimedwait4() call described by Niels Provos, Chuck
Lever, and Stephen Tweedie in a paper entitled "Analyzing the Overload
Behavior of a Simple Web Server".  The paper lists more details and
advantages.

14441960e8 simplify cleanup_workqueue_thread()
cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated.

Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was
suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa.

In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the
exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug).

Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem:
work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks.  I think this could
be done, see

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633

but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of
cwq->thread during cpu_up().  A freezer-based hotplug looks more
appealing.

33e9e24101 SLUB Debug: fix check for super sized slabs (>512k 64bit, >256k 32bit)
The check for super sized slabs where we can no longer move the free
pointer behind the object for debugging purposes etc is accessing a
field that is not setup yet.  We must use objsize here since the size of
the slab has not been determined yet.

The effect of this is that a global slab shrink via "slabinfo -s" will
show errors about offsets being wrong if booted with slub_debug.
Potentially there are other troubles with huge slabs under slub_debug
because the calculated free pointer offset is truncated.

7bb44adef3 recalc_sigpending_tsk fixes
Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.

In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.

This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.  It
changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

9aaffc898f prohibit rcutorture from being compiled into the kernel
There have been a number of instances where people have accidentally compiled
rcutorture into the kernel (CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=y), which has never been
useful, and has often resulted in great frustration.

The attached patch prohibits rcutorture from being compiled into the
kernel.  It may be excluded altogether or compiled as a module.  People
wishing to have rcutorture hammer their machine immediately upon boot
are free to hand-edit lib/Kconfig.debug to remove the "depends on m"
line.

Thanks to Randy Dunlap for the trick that makes this work.

5fcc57f2d5 freezer: fix PF_NOFREEZE vs freezeable race
This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.

* Freezer marks a thread as freezeable.
* The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE, but it will be frozen on
  on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though it doesn't
  want to.
* Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to thaw the task since it is
  marked PF_NOFREEZE.

Avoid this problem by checking the task's PF_NOFREEZE status in
frozen_processes() before marking the task as frozen.

49b12d4f5e freezer: take kernel_execve into consideration
Kernel threads can become userland processes by calling kernel_execve().

In particular, this may happen right after the try_to_freeze_tasks()
called with FREEZER_USER_SPACE has returned, so try_to_freeze_tasks()
needs to take userspace processes into consideration even if it is
called with FREEZER_KERNEL_THREADS.

ba96a0c880 freezer: fix vfork problem
Currently try_to_freeze_tasks() has to wait until all of the vforked processes
exit and for this reason every user can make it fail.  To fix this problem we
can introduce the additional process flag PF_FREEZER_SKIP to be used by tasks
that do not want to be counted as freezable by the freezer and want to have
TIF_FREEZE set nevertheless.  Then, this flag can be set by tasks using
sys_vfork() before they call wait_for_completion(&vfork) and cleared after
they have woken up.  After clearing it, the tasks should call try_to_freeze()
as soon as possible.

33e1c288da freezer: close potential race between refrigerator and thaw_tasks
If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator()
before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is
frozen.  In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it.

To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with
frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in
the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process().
Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are
not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending
"freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.

5a6248cac2 Match DMA blacklist entries between ide-dma.c and libata-core.c
There are a few entries in ata_device_blacklist[] in libata-core.c
marked with HORKAGE_NODMA but are missing from drive_blacklist[]
in ide-dma.c.  This patch makes the lists in sync.

Also remove a duplicated entry for "SanDisk SDP3B-64".

2074a106f5 ide/pci/serverworks.c: Fix corruption/timeouts with MegaIDE
It turns out from customer reports to Red Hat and some PCI dumps that the
MegaIDE in RAID mode doesn't provide the drive tuning data that the
serverworks driver expects but sometimes does provide something that
fools the code.

For the RAID class case skip the oem setup and don't trust the BIOS data.
We then tune from scratch and this sorts it out. (This has been confirmed
on an afflicted IBM blade)

[libata serverworks.c never trusts the BIOS in the first place so is
accidentally immune]
