Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "This pull request contains three fixes. Two are reverts of task_lock() removal in cgroup fork path.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo: "This pull request contains one patch from Dan Magenheimer to fix cancel_delayed_work() regression introduced by its reimplementation using try_to_grab_pending(). The reimplementation made it incorrectly return %true when the work item is idle. There aren't too many consumers of the return value but it broke at least ramster." * 'for-3.7-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: workqueue: cancel_delayed_work() should return %false if work item is idle

57b30ae7 ("workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()") made cancel_delayed_work() always return %true unless someone else is also trying to cancel the work item, which is broken - if the target work item is idle, the return value should be %false. try_to_grab_pending() indicates that the target work item was idle by zero return value. Use it for return. Note that this brings cancel_delayed_work() in line with __cancel_work_timer() in return value handling. Signed-off-by:

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056078 Profile replacement can cause long chains of profiles to build up when the profile being replaced is pinned. When the pinned profile is finally freed, it puts the reference to its replacement, which may in turn nest another call to free_profile on the stack. Because this may happen for each profile in the replacedby chain this can result in a recusion that causes the stack to overflow. Break this nesting by directly walking the chain of replacedby profiles (ie. use iteration instead of recursion to free the list). This results in at most 2 levels of free_profile being called, while freeing a replacedby chain. Signed-off-by:

If none of the elements in scrubrates[] matches, this loop will cause __amd64_set_scrub_rate() to incorrectly use the n+1th element. As the function is designed to use the final scrubrates[] element in the case of no match, we can fix this bug by simply terminating the array search at the n-1th element. Boris: this code is fragile anyway, see here why: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135102834131236&w=2 It will be rewritten more robustly soonish. Reported-by:

The tile tool chain uses the .eh_frame information for backtracing. The vmlinux build drops any .eh_frame sections at link time, but when present in kernel modules, it causes a module load failure due to the presence of unsupported pc-relative relocations. When compiling to use compiler feedback support, the compiler by default omits .eh_frame information, so we don't see this problem. But when not using feedback, we need to explicitly suppress the .eh_frame. Signed-off-by:

In theory, that function could release the lru lock between checking for bo on ddestroy list and a successful reserve if the bo was already reserved, and the function was called with waiting reserves allowed. However, all current reservers of a bo on the ddestroy list would atomically take the bo off the list after a successful reserve so this race should not have been hit, so no need to backport for stable. This patch also fixes a case found by Maarten Lankhorst where ttm_mem_evict_first called with no_wait_gpu would incorrectly spin waiting for bo idle if trying to evict a busy buffer that also sits on the ddestroy list.

Commit 7f8d4cad ("Input: extend the number of event (and other) devices") made evdev, joydev and mousedev to embed struct cdev into their respective structures representing input devices. Unfortunately character device structure may outlive the parent structure unless we do not set it up as parent of character device so that it will stay pinned until character device is freed. Also, now that parent structure is pinned while character device exists we do not need to pin and unpin it every time user opens or closes it. Reported-by:

In certain cases (for example when a cdev structure is embedded into another object whose lifetime is controlled by a separate kobject) it is beneficial to tie lifetime of another object to the lifetime of character device so that related object is not freed until after char_dev object is freed. To achieve this let's pin kobject's parent when doing cdev_add() and unpin when last reference to cdev structure is being released. Signed-off-by:

In mke2fs, we only checksum the whole bitmap block and it is right. While in the kernel, we use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP to indicate the size of the checksumed bitmap which is wrong when we enable bigalloc. The right size should be EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP and this patch fixes it. Also as every caller of ext4_block_bitmap_csum_set and ext4_block_bitmap_csum_verify pass in EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)/8, we'd better removes this parameter and sets it in the function itself.
