Few of the notifier_chain_register() callers use __devinitdata in the
definition of notifier_block data structure.  It is incorrect as the
data structure should be available after the initializations (they do
not unregister them during initializations).

This was leading to an oops when notifier_chain_register() call is
invoked for those callback chains after initialization.

This patch fixes all such usages to _not_ have the notifier_block data
structure in the init data section.

This patch addresses a flaw in LSM, where there is no mediation of readv()
and writev() in for 32-bit compatible apps using a 64-bit kernel.

This bug was discovered and fixed initially in the native readv/writev
code [1], but was not fixed in the compat code.  Thanks to Al for spotting
this one.

Switched to use of sys_pread64()/sys_pwrite64() rather than keep duplicating

	ret = security_file_permission (file, MAY_READ);

sbi->s_group_desc is an array of pointers to buffer_head.  memcpy() of
buffer size from address of buffer_head is a bad idea - it will generate
junk in any case, may oops if buffer_head is close to the end of slab
page and next page is not mapped and isn't what was intended there.
IOW, ->b_data is missing in that call.  Fortunately, result doesn't go
into the primary on-disk data structures, so only backup ones get crap
written to them; that had allowed this bug to remain unnoticed until
now.

sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.

This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
receive support as well.

BKL does not protect against races if the task may sleep between
checking and setting a value.  So move checking of file->private_data
near to setting it in fuse_fill_super().

Found by Al Viro.

A deadlock was possible, when the last reference to the superblock was
held due to a background request containing a file reference.

Releasing the file would release the vfsmount which in turn would
release the superblock.  Since sbput_sem is held during the fput() and
fuse_put_super() tries to acquire this same semaphore, a deadlock
results.

The solution is to move the fput() outside the region protected by
sbput_sem.

This reverts 73ce8355

 commit.

It was wrong, because it didn't take into account the requirement,
that iput() for background requests must be performed synchronously
with ->put_super(), otherwise active inodes may remain after unmount.

The right solution is to keep the sbput_sem and perform iput() within
the locked region, but move fput() outside sbput_sem.

Make the move_from_pipe() actors return number of bytes processed, then
move_from_pipe() can decide more cleverly when to move on to the next
buffer.

If nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() fails to get the refcount of
nf_ct_l3proto_generic, nf_ct_l3proto_put() will drop the refcount
too far.

This gets rid of '.me = THIS_MODULE' of nf_ct_l3proto_generic so that
nf_ct_l3proto_find_get() doesn't try to get refcount of it.
It's OK because its symbol is usable until nf_conntrack.ko is unloaded.

This also kills unnecessary NULL pointer check as well.
