If a raid0 has a component device larger than 4TB, and is accessed on a 32bit
machines, then as 'chunk' is unsigned long,

   chunk << chunksize_bits

can overflow (this can be as high as the size of the device in KB).  chunk
itself will not overflow (without triggering a BUG).

So change 'chunk' to be 'sector_t, and get rid of the 'BUG' as it becomes
impossible to hit.

cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated.

Convert the code to use kthread_should_stop/kthread_stop as was
suggested by Gautham and Srivatsa.

In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the
exit path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a bug).

Note: the current code was designed to solve another old problem:
work->func can't share locks with hotplug callbacks.  I think this could
be done, see

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116905366428633

but this needs some more complications to preserve CPU affinity of
cwq->thread during cpu_up().  A freezer-based hotplug looks more
appealing.

The check for super sized slabs where we can no longer move the free
pointer behind the object for debugging purposes etc is accessing a
field that is not setup yet.  We must use objsize here since the size of
the slab has not been determined yet.

The effect of this is that a global slab shrink via "slabinfo -s" will
show errors about offsets being wrong if booted with slub_debug.
Potentially there are other troubles with huge slabs under slub_debug
because the calculated free pointer offset is truncated.

Steve Hawkes discovered a problem where recalc_sigpending_tsk was called in
do_sigaction but no signal_wake_up call was made, preventing later signals
from waking up blocked threads with TIF_SIGPENDING already set.

In fact, the few other calls to recalc_sigpending_tsk outside the signals
code are also subject to this problem in other race conditions.

This change makes recalc_sigpending_tsk private to the signals code.  It
changes the outside calls, as well as do_sigaction, to use the new
recalc_sigpending_and_wake instead.

The attached patch prohibits rcutorture from being compiled into the

wishing to have rcutorture hammer their machine immediately upon boot
are free to hand-edit lib/Kconfig.debug to remove the "depends on m"
