Neil Horman 15efbe7639 [SCTP]: Clean up naming conventions of sctp protocol/address family registration
I noticed while looking into some odd behavior in sctp, that the variable
name sctp_pf_inet6_specific was used twice to represent two different
pieces of data (its both a structure name and a pointer to that type of
structure), which is confusing to say the least, and potentially dangerous
depending on the variable scope.  This patch cleans that up, and makes the
protocol and address family registration names in SCTP more regular,
increasing readability.

As Davem mentioned in his recently patch
(d9595a7b9c)
that the procfs visibility should occur after

sure that ->proc_fops is setup before gluing PDE
to main tree.

Fixed locking between fastpath and slowpath operations.

Because we use shared tfm objects in order to conserve memory,
(each tfm requires 128K of vmalloc memory), BH needs to be turned
off on output as that can occur in process context.

Previously this was done implicitly by the xfrm output code.
That was lost when it became lockless.  So we need to add the

rt2x00lib_reset_link_tuner() can be called from within

Also make antenna tuning the last step of the link

Jeremy Kerr 0111a70186 [POWERPC] spufs: fix invalid scheduling of forgotten contexts
At present, we have a situation where a context with no owner is
re-scheduled by spu_forget:

	Thread 1: reading regs file	Thread 2: context owner

					spu_forget()
						- ctx->owner = NULL
						- set SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE

	spu_acquire_saved()
	- context is in saved state

	spu_release_saved()
	- SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE is set,
	  so spu_activate() the context,
	  which now has no owner

In spu_forget(), we shouldn't be requesting a re-schedule by setting
SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE. This change removes the set_bit in spu_forget(),
so that spu_release_saved() doesn't reinsert this destroyed context on
to the run queue.

Haavard Skinnemoen 325d6f5593 avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bug
Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
unset.

Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.

This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20

as reported by David Brownell. Happens when strace'ing a process that
forks a new child process, e.g. "strace mount -tjffs2 mtd1 /mnt", and
subsequently killing the child process (e.g. "umount /mnt".)

Pavel Emelyanov b37d428b24 [INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.
Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can receive a
pre-defined name for a device from the userspace.  Since these drivers
call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock, is held), which does _not_
generate the device's name, this name may contain a '%' character.

Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its name, but
all the other places either use the register_netdev(), which call the
dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the dev_alloc_name() before
registering, i.e. do not allow for such names.

This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to number the
patches and this one got lost, sorry.

Jeremy Kerr d58831375d [POWERPC] spufs: fix context destruction during psmap fault
We have a small window where a spu context may be destroyed while
we're servicing a page fault (from another thread) to the context's
problem state mapping.

After we up_read() the mmap_sem, it's possible that the context is
destroyed by its owning thread, and so the later references to ctx
are invalid. This can maifest as a deadlock on the (now free()-ed)
context state mutex.

This change adds a reference to the context before we release the
mmap_sem, so that the context cannot be destroyed.
