The NUMA counters in struct per_cpu_pageset (linux/mmzone.h) are never
cleared today.  This works ok for CPU 0 on NUMA machines because
boot_pageset[] is already zero, but for other CPU:s this results in
uninitialized counters.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
qla2x00_free_device() to clean up.  But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
yet.  It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
and the kernel hangs up.

Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it).  I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.

posix_cpu_timer_set:

	read_lock(&tasklist_lock);

	spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
	list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
	spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);

We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.

Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,

	....

	if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
		read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
		timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
		return TIMER_RETRY;
	}

sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
   That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()

   		lock_timer(timer);
		if (timer->task == NULL)
			return;
		read_lock(tasklist);
		put_task_struct(timer->task)

   is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
   timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
   until timer deleted or armed.

2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
   tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
   should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects.  There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.

Add and use idr_destroy() for this.  v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.

Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload().  Which is probably
better.  Later.

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state.  This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr.  The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.

It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.

In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.

So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally.  The reason is that
by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update)
could have already added a new timer.

So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly.

This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks.

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group
dying, without races.  Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live
counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.

This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks.  This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

Revert commit e03d13e9, to be replaced
by a much nicer fix from Roland.

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.

Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change.  The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement.  The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.

It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.
