caif_connect() might dereference a netdevice after dev_put() it.
It also doesnt check dev_get_by_index() return value and could
dereference a NULL pointer.
Fix it, using RCU to avoid taking a reference.

bonding: Bond creation failed.
It happens because a user space writer to bond_master can try to
register an already existing bond interface name. Fix it by teaching
bond_create to check for the existance of devices with that name first

This fixes a race pointed out by Dave Airlie where we don't take a buffer
object about to be destroyed off the LRU lists properly. It also fixes a rare
case where a buffer object could be destroyed in the middle of an
accelerated eviction.
The patch also adds a utility function that can be used to prematurely
release GPU memory space usage of an object waiting to be destroyed.
For example during eviction or swapout.
The above mentioned commit didn't queue the buffer on the delayed destroy
list under some rare circumstances. It also didn't completely honor the
remove_all parameter.

Both when polling the current turbo status (in poll_turbo_status mode)
and when handling thermal events (in ips_irq_handler) the current status
of GPU turbo is updated to match the hardware status. However if during
driver initialisation we were unable aquire linkage to the i915 driver
enabling GPU turbo will lead to an oops on the first attempt to determine
GPU busy status.
Ensure that we do not enable GPU turbo unless we have driver linkage.

The "flags" member of "struct wait_queue_t" is used in several places in
the kernel code without beeing initialized by init_wait(). "flags" is
used in bitwise operations.
If "flags" not initialized then unexpected behaviour may take place.
Incorrect flags might used later in code.
Added initialization of "wait_queue_t.flags" with zero value into
"init_wait".

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.
So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.
Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

The flush_iotlb_page is not loading the cam register before flushing
the cam entry. This causes wrong entry to be flushed out from the TLB, and
if the entry happens to be a locked TLB entry it would lead to MMU faults.
The fix is to load the cam register with the address to be flushed before
flushing the TLB entry.

Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets
notified even if xenstore is already up.
Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from
register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for
PV on HVM guests too.
In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the
platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set
xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe().
This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes
"xm shutdown" not to work properly.

wacom_open() takes wacom->lock and calls usb_autopm_get_interface(),
which in turn calls wacom_resume() which tries to acquire the lock
again.
The fix is to call usb_autopm_get_interface() first, before we take
the lock.
Since we do not do usb_autopm_put_interface() until wacom_close()
is called runtime PM is effectively disabled for the driver, however
changing it now would risk regressions so the complete fix will
have to wait till the next merge window.

Building under memory pressure, with KSM on 2.6.36-rc5, collapsed with
an internal compiler error: typically indicating an error in swapping.
Perhaps there's a timing issue which makes it now more likely, perhaps
it's just a long time since I tried for so long: this bug goes back to
KSM swapping in 2.6.33.
Notice how reuse_swap_page() allows an exclusive page to be reused, but
only does SetPageDirty if it can delete it from swap cache right then -
if it's currently under Writeback, it has to be left in cache and we
don't SetPageDirty, but the page can be reused. Fine, the dirty bit
will get set in the pte; but notice how zap_pte_range() does not bother
to transfer pte_dirty to page_dirty when unmapping a PageAnon.
If KSM chooses to share such a page, it will look like a clean copy of
swapcache, and not be written out to swap when its memory is needed;
then stale data read back from swap when it's needed again.
We could fix this in reuse_swap_page() (or even refuse to reuse a
page under writeback), but it's more honest to fix my oversight in
KSM's write_protect_page(). Several days of testing on three machines
confirms that this fixes the issue they showed.

2.6.36-rc1 commit 21d0d443cdc1658a8c1484fdcece4803f0f96d0e "rmap:
resurrect page_address_in_vma anon_vma check" was right to resurrect
that check; but now that it's comparing anon_vma->roots instead of
just anon_vmas, there's a danger of oopsing on a NULL anon_vma.
In most cases no NULL anon_vma ever gets here; but it turns out that
occasionally KSM, when enabled on a forked or forking process, will
itself call page_address_in_vma() on a "half-KSM" page left over from
an earlier failed attempt to merge - whose page_anon_vma() is NULL.
It's my bug that those should be getting here at all: I thought they
were already dealt with, this oops proves me wrong, I'll fix it in
the next release - such pages are effectively pinned until their
process exits, since rmap cannot find their ptes (though swapoff can).
For now just work around it by making page_address_in_vma() safe (and
add a comment on why that check is wanted anyway). A similar check
in __page_check_anon_rmap() is safe because do_page_add_anon_rmap()
already excluded KSM pages.
