      rcu: Change return type to bool · f765d113
      Nicholas Mc Guire authored
      Type-checking coccinelle spatches are being used to locate type mismatches
      between function signatures and return values in this case this produced:
      ./kernel/rcu/srcu.c:271 WARNING: return of wrong type
              int != unsigned long,
      
      srcu_readers_active() returns an int that is the sum of per_cpu unsigned
      long but the only user is cleanup_srcu_struct() which is using it as a
      boolean (condition) to see if there is any readers rather than actually
      using the approximate number of readers. The theoretically possible
      unsigned long overflow case does not need to be handled explicitly - if
      we had 4G++ readers then something else went wrong a long time ago.
      
      proposal: change the return type to boolean. The function name is left
                unchanged as it fits the naming expectation for a boolean.
      
      patch was compile tested for x86_64_defconfig (implies CONFIG_SRCU=y)
      
      patch is against 4.1-rc5 (localversion-next is -next-20150525)

      rcu: Deinline rcu_read_lock_sched_held() if DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC · d5671f6b
      Denys Vlasenko authored
      DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y is not a production setting, but it is
      not very unusual either. Many developers routinely
      use kernels built with it enabled.
      
      Apart from being selected by hand, it is also auto-selected by
      PROVE_LOCKING "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" and
      LOCK_STAT "Lock usage statistics" config options.
      LOCK STAT is necessary for "perf lock" to work.
      
      I wouldn't spend too much time optimizing it, but this particular
      function has a very large cost in code size: when it is deinlined,
      code size decreases by 830,000 bytes:
      
          text     data      bss       dec     hex filename
      85674192 22294776 20627456 128596424 7aa39c8 vmlinux.before

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
      thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
      out the list pointers and removed it.
      
      But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
      pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
      broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
      a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
      
      So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
      (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
      initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
      implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
      
      This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
      An.
      
      [ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
        to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
