Good job. I was too lazy to bisect for bad commit;)

Reading the code I found problematic kthread_should_stop call from netlink
connector which causes the oops. After applying a patch, I've been testing
owfs+w1 setup for nearly two days and it seems to work very reliable (no
hangs, no memleaks etc).
More detailed description and possible fix is given below:

Function w1_search can be called from either kthread or netlink callback.
While the former works fine, the latter causes oops due to kthread_should_stop
invocation.

This patch adds a check if w1_search is serving netlink command, skipping
kthread_should_stop invocation if so.

      W1: split master mutex to avoid deadlocks. · b02f8bed
      由 NeilBrown 提交于 
      The 'mutex' in struct w1_master is use for two very different
purposes.

Firstly it protects various data structures such as the list of all
slaves.

Secondly it protects the w1 buss against concurrent accesses.

This can lead to deadlocks when the ->probe code called while adding a
slave needs to talk on the bus, as is the case for power_supply
devices.
ds2780 and ds2781 drivers contain a work around to track which
process hold the lock simply to avoid this deadlock.  bq27000 doesn't
have that work around and so deadlocks.

There are other possible deadlocks involving sysfs.
When removing a device the sysfs s_active lock is held, so the lock
that protects the slave list must take precedence over s_active.
However when access power_supply attributes via sysfs, the s_active
lock must take precedence over the lock that protects accesses to
the bus.

So to avoid deadlocks between w1 slaves and sysfs, these must be
two separate locks.  Making them separate means that the work around
in ds2780 and ds2781 can be removed.

So this patch:
 - adds a new mutex: "bus_mutex" which serialises access to the bus.
 - takes in mutex in w1_search and ds1wm_search while they access
   the bus for searching.  The mutex is dropped before calling the
   callback which adds the slave.
 - changes all slaves to use bus_mutex instead of mutex to
   protect access to the bus
 - removes w1_ds2790_io_nolock and w1_ds2781_io_nolock, and the
   related code from drivers/power/ds278[01]_battery.c which
   calls them.

      Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a struct · 7eff2e7a
      由 Kay Sievers 提交于 
      This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes · 91a69029
      由 Zhang Rui 提交于 
      Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.

What I do:
Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
.read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.

In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
I'm not sure if I missed any. :(

Why I do this:
For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
So I think this patch is reasonable. :)

Who benefits from it:
The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
requires such an improvement.
All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
the table signature and instance number which are used to
distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.

Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
for different ACPI table binary attributes.
This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
accessing removed modules.

This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
backing module from being unloaded.

For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
following message.
