Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.

Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

In case of error, the function kthread_create returns an ERR pointer,
but never returns a NULL pointer. So a NULL test that comes before an
IS_ERR test should be deleted.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@match_bad_null_test@
expression x, E;
statement S1,S2;
@@
x = kthread_create(...)
... when != x = E
* if (x == NULL)
S1 else S2

'ubifs_get_lprops()' and 'ubifs_release_lprops()' basically wrap
mutex lock and unlock. We have them because we want lprops subsystem
be separate and as independent as possible. And we planned better
locking rules for lprops.

Anyway, because they are short, it is better to inline them.

There's a race between mm->owner assignment and swapoff, more easily
seen when task slab poisoning is turned on.  The condition occurs when
try_to_unuse() runs in parallel with an exiting task.  A similar race
can occur with callers of get_task_mm(), such as /proc/<pid>/<mmstats>
or ptrace or page migration.

CPU0                                    CPU1
                                        try_to_unuse
                                        looks at mm = task0->mm
                                        increments mm->mm_users
task 0 exits
mm->owner needs to be updated, but no
new owner is found (mm_users > 1, but
no other task has task->mm = task0->mm)
mm_update_next_owner() leaves
                                        mmput(mm) decrements mm->mm_users
task0 freed
                                        dereferencing mm->owner fails

The fix is to notify the subsystem via mm_owner_changed callback(),
if no new owner is found, by specifying the new task as NULL.

Jiri Slaby:
mm->owner was set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks(), but
must be set after that, so as not to pass NULL as old owner causing oops.

Daisuke Nishimura:
mm_update_next_owner() may set mm->owner to NULL, but mem_cgroup_from_task()
and its callers need to take account of this situation to avoid oops.

Hugh Dickins:
Lockdep warning and hang below exec_mmap() when testing these patches.
exit_mm() up_reads mmap_sem before calling mm_update_next_owner(),
so exec_mmap() now needs to do the same.  And with that repositioning,
there's now no point in mm_need_new_owner() allowing for NULL mm.

The VFS interface for the 'd_compare()' is a bit special (read: 'odd'),
because it really just essentially replaces a memcmp().  The filesystem
is supposed to just compare the two names with whatever case-independent
or other function.

And when I say 'is supposed to', I obviously mean that 'procfs does odd
things, and actually looks at the dentry that we don't even pass down,
rather than just the name'.  Which results in problems, because we
actually call d_compare before we have even verified that the dentry is
still hashed at all.

And that causes a problm since the inode that procfs looks at may have
been free'd and the d_inode pointer is NULL.  procfs just assumes that
all dentries are positive, since procfs itself never generates a
negative one.  But memory pressure will still result in the dentry
getting torn down, and as it is removed by RCU, it still remains visible
on some lists - and to d_compare.

If the filesystem just did a name comparison, we wouldn't care.  And we
could just fix procfs to know about negative dentries too.  But rather
than have the low-level filesystems know about internal VFS details,
just move the check for a unhashed dentry up a bit, so that we will only
call d_compare on dentries that are still active.

The actual oops this caused didn't look like a NULL pointer dereference
because procfs did a 'container_of(inode, struct proc_inode, vfs_inode)'
to get at its internal proc_inode information from the inode pointer,
and accessed a field below the inode. So the oops would look something
like

	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffffffffff0
	IP: [<ffffffff802bc6c6>] proc_sys_compare+0x36/0x50

and was seen on both x86-64 (Alexey Dobriyan and Hugh Dickins) and
ppc64 (Hugh Dickins).

Update the CS4270 ALSA device driver to use the new-style I2C interface.
Starting with the 2.6.27 PowerPC kernel, I2C devices that have entries in the
device trees can no longer be probed by old-style I2C drivers.  The device
tree for Freescale MPC8610 HPCD has included an entry for the CS4270 since
2.6.25, but that entry was previously ignored by the PowerPC I2C subsystem.
Since that's no longer the case, the best solution is to update the CS4270
driver to a new-style interface, rather than try to revert the behavior of
new PowerPC I2C subsystem.

Commit 2fd673ec which tried to remove
hardreset for generic accidentally removed it for all flavors as all
others were inheriting from nv_generic_ops.  This patch reinstates
nv_hardreset() and puts it into nv_common_ops which all flavors
inherit from.  nv_generic_ops now inherits from nv_common_ops and
overrides .hardreset to ATA_OP_NULL.

While at it, explain why nv_hardreset and ATA_OP_NULL override are

The current sg list traversal logic for the continuation entries
doesn't advance the list pointer once all seven slots are used, so the
