This reverts commit f72fa70760, and solves
the problem that it tried to fix by simply making "__do_IRQ()" call the
note_interrupt() function without the lock held, the way everybody else
does.
It should be noted that all interrupt handling code must never allow the
descriptor actors to be entered "recursively" (that's why we do all the
magic IRQ_PENDING stuff in the first place), so there actually is
exclusion at that much higher level, even in the absense of locking.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.
The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the

Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was
supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix"
actually causes more problems:
"However, the new code does not look safe in all cases. If some other
task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the
new code will update open_files to the new larger value. But newf was
allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent
accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory."

While testing kernel on machine with "irqpoll" option I've caught such a
lockup:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock);
desc->chip->ack(); /* IRQ is ACKed */
note_interrupt()
misrouted_irq()
handle_IRQ_event()
if (...)
local_irq_enable_in_hardirq();
/* interrupts are enabled from now */
...
__do_IRQ() /* same IRQ we've started from */
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* LOCKUP */
Looking at misrouted_irq() code I've found that a potential deadlock like
this can also take place:
1CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
2CPU:
__do_IRQ()
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = B */
misrouted_irq()
for (i = 1; i < NR_IRQS; i++) {
spin_lock(&desc->lock); /* irq = A */
if (desc->status & IRQ_INPROGRESS) {
As the second lock on both CPUs is taken before checking that this irq is
being handled in another processor this may cause a deadlock. This issue
is only theoretical.
I propose the attached patch to fix booth problems: when trying to handle
misrouted IRQ active desc->lock may be unlocked.

Since it is becoming clear that there are just enough users of the binary
sysctl interface that completely removing the binary interface from the kernel
will not be an option for foreseeable future, we need to find a way to address
the sysctl maintenance issues.
The basic problem is that sysctl requires one central authority to allocate
sysctl numbers, or else conflicts and ABI breakage occur. The proc interface
to sysctl does not have that problem, as names are not densely allocated.
By not terminating a sysctl table until I have neither a ctl_name nor a
procname, it becomes simple to add sysctl entries that don't show up in the
binary sysctl interface. Which allows people to avoid allocating a binary
sysctl value when not needed.
I have audited the kernel code and in my reading I have not found a single
sysctl table that wasn't terminated by a completely zero filled entry. So
this change in behavior should not affect anything.
I think this mechanism eases the pain enough that combined with a little
disciple we can solve the reoccurring sysctl ABI breakage.

Cpu-hotplug locking has a minor race case caused because of setting the

The previous commit (45c18b0bb5, aka "Fix
unlikely (but possible) race condition on task->user access") fixed a
potential oops due to __sigqueue_alloc() getting its "user" pointer out
of sync with switch_user(), and accessing a user pointer that had been
de-allocated on another CPU.
It still left another (much less serious) problem, where a concurrent
__sigqueue_alloc and swich_user could cause sigqueue_alloc to do signal
pending reference counting for a _different_ user than the one it then
actually ended up using. No oops, but we'd end up with the wrong signal
accounting.
Another case of Oleg's eagle-eyes picking up the problem.
This is trivially fixed by just making sure we load whichever "user"
structure we decide to use (it doesn't matter _which_ one we pick, we
just need to pick one) just once.

There's a possible race condition when doing a "switch_uid()" from one
user to another, which could race with another thread doing a signal
allocation and looking at the old thread ->user pointer as it is freed.
This explains an oops reported by Lukasz Trabinski:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/462241
We fix this by delaying the (reference-counted) freeing of the user
structure until the thread signal handler lock has been released, so
that we know that the signal allocation has either seen the new value or
has properly incremented the reference count of the old one.
Race identified by Oleg Nesterov.

2. stats->ac_ppid = (tsk->parent) ? tsk->parent->pid : 0;
tsk->parent never == NULL, and it is unsafe to dereference it.
Both the task and it's parent may exit after the caller unlocks
tasklist_lock, the memory could be unmapped (DEBUG_SLAB).
(And we should use ->real_parent->tgid in fact).
Q: I don't understand the 'if (thread_group_leader(tsk))' check.
Why it is needed ?

1. fill_tgid() forgets to do put_task_struct(first).
2. release_task(first) can happen after fill_tgid() drops tasklist_lock,
it is unsafe to dereference first->signal.
This is a temporary fix, imho the locking should be reworked.

This means we can call it when the bitmap we want to fetch is declared
const.
