I've bisected the deadlock when many small appends are done on jffs2 down to
this commit:

commit 6fe6900e
Author: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

    mm: make read_cache_page synchronous

    Ensure pages are uptodate after returning from read_cache_page, which allows
    us to cut out most of the filesystem-internal PageUptodate calls.

    I didn't have a great look down the call chains, but this appears to fixes 7
    possible use-before uptodate in hfs, 2 in hfsplus, 1 in jfs, a few in
    ecryptfs, 1 in jffs2, and a possible cleared data overwritten with readpage in
    block2mtd.  All depending on whether the filler is async and/or can return
    with a !uptodate page.

It introduced a wait to read_cache_page, as well as a
read_cache_page_async function equivalent to the old read_cache_page
without any callers.

Switching jffs2_gc_fetch_page to read_cache_page_async for the old
behavior makes the deadlocks go away, but maybe reintroduces the
use-before-uptodate problem? I don't understand the mm/fs interaction
well enough to say.

This avoids the recent NFS mount regression (returning EBUSY when
mounting the same filesystem twice with different parameters).

The best I can do given the constraints appears to be to have the kernel
first look for a superblock that matches both the fsid and the
user-specified mount options, and then spawn off a new superblock if
that search fails.

Note that this is not the same as specifying nosharecache everywhere
since nosharecache will never attempt to match an existing superblock.

lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel
does, and ended up triggering a corner-case in the stack frame checking
that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't
handle quite right.

This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the
code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

Thanks to Rusty Russell for debugging the lguest failure-

The HPET clocksource in drivers/char/hpet.c was written as generic code
for ia64, but it is not yet ready to replace the native HPET clocksource
implementations that the i386/x86-64 architectures use.

On x86[-64], trying to register this clocksource results in potentially
multiple hpet-based clocksources being registered, and if the ia64 one
is chosen on x86_64 some users have experienced hangs.

Eventually all three architectures may end up using the same code, but
that is not the case right now.

Problem:
A recovery thread must not be active when device is removed.
In qeth_remove_device() an interruptible wait operation is used
to wait until a qeth recovery thread is finished. If a user really
interrupts the ungroup operation of a qeth device while a recovery
is running, cio and qeth are out of sync (device already removed
from cio, but kept in qeth). A following module unload of qeth
results in a kernel OOPS here.

Solution:
Do not allow interruption of ungroup operation to guarantee
finishing of a potentially running qeth recovery thread.

For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.

In commit 68589bc3, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
 But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d8929, prepare_hugepage_range()
is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings.  This means
we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.

This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap().  I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

collect_signal:				sigqueue_free:

						if (!list_empty(&q->list)) {

						}
						q->flags &= ~SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC;

	__sigqueue_free(first);			__sigqueue_free(q);

Now, __sigqueue_free() is called twice on the same "struct sigqueue" with the
obviously bad implications.

In particular, this double free breaks the array_cache->avail logic, so the
same sigqueue could be "allocated" twice, and the bug can manifest itself via
the "impossible" BUG_ON(!SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC) in sigqueue_free/send_sigqueue.

Hopefully this can explain these mysterious bug-reports, see

This shows that a driver's irq handler was running both in hard interrupt
and process contexts with irqs enabled. The latter was done during
free_irq() call and was possible only with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled.
This was fixed by another patch.

But similar problem is possible with request_irq(): any locks taken from
irq handler could be vulnerable - especially with soft interrupts. This
patch fixes it by disabling local interrupts during handler's run. (It
seems, disabling softirqs should be enough, but it needs more checking
on possible races or other special cases).
