The workqueue implementation in 2.6.36-rcX has changed, resulting
in the workqueues no longer having dedicated threads for work
processing. This has caused severe livelocks under heavy parallel
create workloads because the log IO completions have been getting
held up behind metadata IO completions. Hence log commits would
stall, memory allocation would stall because pages could not be
cleaned, and lock contention on the AIL during inode IO completion
processing was being seen to slow everything down even further.
By making the log Io completion workqueue a high priority workqueue,
they are queued ahead of all data/metadata IO completions and
processed before the data/metadata completions. Hence the log never
gets stalled, and operations needed to clean memory can continue as
quickly as possible. This avoids the livelock conditions and allos
the system to keep running under heavy load as per normal.

The XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl allows unprivileged users to read 12
bytes of uninitialized stack memory, because the fsxattr struct
declared on the stack in xfs_ioc_fsgetxattr() does not alter (or zero)
the 12-byte fsx_pad member before copying it back to the user. This
patch takes care of it.

commit 8262bb85da allocated the inode integrity struct (iint) before any
inodes were created. Only after IMA was initialized in late_initcall were
the counters updated. This patch updates the counters, whether or not IMA
has been initialized, to resolve 'imbalance' messages.
This patch fixes the bug as reported in bugzilla: 15673. When the i915
is builtin, the ring_buffer is initialized before IMA, causing the
imbalance message on suspend.

As per Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com>
If we have a ns name without a following profile then in the original
code it did "*ns_name = &name[1];". "name" is NULL so "*ns_name" is
0x1. That isn't useful and could cause an oops when this function is
called from aa_remove_profiles().
Beyond this the assignment of the namespace name was wrong in the case
where the profile name was provided as it was being set to &name[1]
after name = skip_spaces(split + 1);
Move the ns_name assignment before updating name for the split and
also add skip_spaces, making the interface more robust.

Sanity check the flags passed to change_mnt_propagation(). Exactly
one flag should be set. Return EINVAL otherwise.
Userspace can pass in arbitrary combinations of MS_* flags to mount().
do_change_type() is called if any of MS_SHARED, MS_PRIVATE, MS_SLAVE,
or MS_UNBINDABLE is set. do_change_type() clears MS_REC and then
calls change_mnt_propagation() with the rest of the user-supplied
flags. change_mnt_propagation() clearly assumes only one flag is set
but do_change_type() does not check that this is true. For example,
mount() with flags MS_SHARED | MS_RDONLY does not actually make the
mount shared or read-only but does clear MNT_UNBINDABLE.

David Bartly reported that fuse can hang in fuse_get_req_nofail() when
the connection to the filesystem server is no longer active.
If bg_queue is not empty then flush_bg_queue() called from
request_end() can put more requests on to the pending queue. If this
happens while ending requests on the processing queue then those
background requests will be queued to the pending list and never
ended.
Another problem is that fuse_dev_release() didn't wake up processes
sleeping on blocked_waitq.
Solve this by:
a) flushing the background queue before calling end_requests() on the
pending and processing queues
b) setting blocked = 0 and waking up processes waiting on
blocked_waitq()

When we miss the flip prepare interrupt, we never get into the
software state needed to restart userspace, resulting in a freeze of a
full-screen OpenGL application (such as a compositor).
Work around this by checking DSPxSURF/DSPxBASE to see if the page flip
has actually happened. If it has, do the work we would have done when
the flip prepare interrupt comes in.
Also, add debugfs information to tell us what's going on (based on the
