The f_dev in _request_firmware() is allocated via the fw_setup_device()

class release function is fw_dev_release).
Commit 6acf70f078ca replaced the kfree(dev) in fw_dev_release() with a
put_device() call but my understanding is that the release function is
called via put_device -> kobject_put -> kref_put -> koject_release etc.
and it should call kfree since it's the last to see this device
structure alive.
Because of that, the _request_firmware() function on its -ENOENT error
path only calls device_unregister(f_dev) which would eventually call
fw_dev_release() but there is no kfree (the subsequent put_device call
would just make the kref negative).

quota: Fix possible deadlock during parallel quotaon and quotaoff

while true; do quotaon /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
while true; do quotaoff /dev/hda >&/dev/null; usleep $RANDOM; done &
I found there is a potential deadlock between quotaon and quotaoff (or
quotasync). Basically, all of quotactl operations need to be protected by
dqonoff_mutex. vfs_quota_off and vfs_quota_sync also call sb->s_op->quota_write
that needs to grab the i_mutex of the quota file. But in vfs_quota_on_inode
(called from quotaon operation), the current code tries to grab the i_mutex of
the quota file first before getting quonoff_mutex.
Reverse the order in which we take locks in vfs_quota_on_inode().

sys_sync(): fix 16% performance regression in ffsb create_4k test
I run many ffsb test cases on JBODs (typically 13/12 disks). Comparing
with kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1 has about 16% regression with
ffsb_create_4k. The sub test case creates files continuously for 10
minitues and every file is 1MB.
vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4)
It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync())
doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to
accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch
__fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to
properly send all data on a filesystem to disk.
As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data
is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result. vmstat
shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time. With 2.6.30, ffsb is
blocked for a short time.
I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods.
Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to
wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O.
wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the
same time.

sctp: fix warning at inet_sock_destruct() while release sctp socket
Commit 'net: Move rx skb_orphan call to where needed' broken sctp protocol
with warning at inet_sock_destruct(). Actually, sctp can do this right with
sctp_sock_rfree_frag() and sctp_skb_set_owner_r_frag() pair.

microblaze: clean up signal handling
When legacy signal handling is disabled, the
arch/microblaze/kernel/signal.c implementation can
be much simpler, as most of it is handled generically
from kernel/signal.c.
This is also a prerequisite for using the generic
asm/unistd.h, which does not provide __NR_sigreturn,
because this macro is referenced by the current signal.c
implementation.

microblaze: convert all simple headers to use asm-generic
All the simple microblaze header files were adapted to use their
asm-generic implementations. These files are more simple and were quite
straightforward to change.
fb.h, vga.h and parport.h previously did not exist, using
the generic version makes it possible to build more drivers
successfully in allyesonfig.

The bit that tells us whether a statistics counter snapshot operation
has completed is located in the GLOBAL register block, not in the
GLOBAL2 register block, so fix up mv88e6xxx_stats_wait() to poll the
right register address.

We might have a race in napi_schedule(), leaving interrupts disabled forever.
I cannot test this patch, I dont have the hardware...

drivers/net/smsc911x.c: Fix resource size off by 1 error
The call resource_size(res) returns res->end - res->start + 1 and thus the
second change is semantics-preserving. res_size is then used as the second
argument of a call to request_mem_region, and the memory allocated by this
call appears to be the same as what is released in the two calls to
release_mem_region. So the size argument for those calls should be
resource_size(size) as well. Alternatively, in the second call to
release_mem_region, the second argument could be res_size, as that variable
has already been initialized at the point of this call.
The problem was found using the following semantic patch:

The FW supports coalescing in 12us granularity, and so value of less then 12
should be interpreted as disabling coalescing

tun: Fix device unregister race
It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister
to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice. This
is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether
__tun_get(tfile) != NULL. This however has nothing to do with
whether the device has already been unregistered. All it tells
you is whether __tun_detach has been called.
This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test
whether the device has been unregistered.
It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing
that it does requires that lock.

$prevlen = $currlen at the end of the loop, and the if() check should have used
