1a747ee0cc locks: don't call ->copy_lock methods on return of conflicting locks
The file_lock structure is used both as a heavy-weight representation of
an active lock, with pointers to reference-counted structures, etc., and
as a simple container for parameters that describe a file lock.

The conflicting lock returned from __posix_lock_file is an example of
the latter; so don't call the filesystem or lock manager callbacks when
copying to it.  This also saves the need for an unnecessary
locks_init_lock in the nfsv4 server.

Thanks to Trond for pointing out the error.

Add /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem, which allows e.g.:

shell> echo /mnt/sfs1 > /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_filesystem

so that a filesystem can be unmounted before allowing a peer nfsd to

4373ea84c8 lockd: unlock lockd locks associated with a given server ip
For high-availability NFS service, we generally need to be able to drop
file locks held on the exported filesystem before moving clients to a
new server.  Currently the only way to do that is by shutting down lockd
entirely, which is often undesireable (for example, if you want to
continue exporting other filesystems).

This patch allows the administrator to release all locks held by clients
accessing the client through a given server ip address, by echoing that
address to a new file, /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip, as in:

shell> echo 10.1.1.2 > /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip

The expected sequence of events can be:
1. Tear down the IP address
2. Unexport the path
3. Write IP to /proc/fs/nfsd/unlock_ip to unlock files
4. Signal peer to begin take-over.

For now we only support IPv4 addresses and NFSv2/v3 (NFSv4 locks are not
affected).

Also, if unmounting the filesystem is required, we assume at step 3 that
clients using the given server ip are the only clients holding locks on
the given filesystem; otherwise, an additional patch is required to
allow revoking all locks held by lockd on a given filesystem.

1908555767 leases: move lock allocation earlier in generic_setlease()
In generic_setlease(), the struct file_lock is allocated after tests for the
presence of conflicting readers/writers is done, despite the fact that the
allocation might block; this patch moves the allocation earlier.  A subsequent
set of patches will rely on this behavior to properly serialize between a
modified __break_lease() and generic_setlease().

b48633bd08 SUNRPC: Invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS session if the server dropped the request
RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the
RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way
on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid
spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is
therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major
timeout.

d2b213f7b7 V4L/DVB (7729): Fix VIDIOCGAP corruption in ivtv
Frank Bennett reported that ivtv was causing skype to crash. With help
from one of their developers he showed it was a kernel problem.
VIDIOCGCAP copies a name into a fixed length buffer - ivtv uses names
that are too long and does not truncate them so corrupts a few bytes of
the app data area.

Possibly the names also want trimming but for now this should fix the
corruption case.

This patch contains the following cleanups:
- make the following needlessly global function static:
  - pvr2_hdw_set_cur_freq()
- #if 0 the following unused global functions:
  - pvr2_hdw_get_state_name()
  - pvr2_hdw_get_debug_info_unlocked()
  - pvr2_hdw_get_debug_info_locked()

49844c291a V4L/DVB (7715): pvrusb2: Clean out all use of __FUNCTION__
Apparently the kernel developers no longer consider it proper
etiquette to use __FUNCTION__; everyone must instead use __func__
(even though it breaks with older compilers).  And worse still, actual
effort is being expended to sweep this change throughout the kernel
source tree.  Don't these people have better things to do?  So...
Completely clean out all use of __FUNCTION__ from the pvrusb2 driver
(it was just in the sysfs interface).  I'm not going to use __func__
either.  So there.

18ecbb4771 V4L/DVB (7714): pvrusb2: Fix hang on module removal
The pvrusb2 driver was getting had by this scenario:

1. Task A calls kthread_stop() for task B.
2. Before exiting, then Task B calls kthread_stop() for task C.

The problem is, kthread_stop() wants to allocate an internal resource
to itself (i.e. acquire a lock), which won't be released until
kthread_stop() returns.  But kthread_stop() won't return until task B
is dead.  But task B won't die until it finishes its call to
kthread_stop() for task C, and that will block waiting on the resource
already allocated inside task A.  Deadlock.

With the pvrusb2 driver, task A is the caller to pvr_exit(), task B is
the control thread run inside of pvrusb2-context.c, and task C is any
worker thread run inside of pvrusb2-hdw.c.

This problem got introduced by the previous threading setup change,
which was itself an attempt to fix a module tear-down race (which it
actually did fix).  The lesson here is that a task being waited on as
part of a kthread_stop() simply cannot be allow to also issue a
kthread_stop() - or we make sure not to issue the enclosing
kthread_stop() until we know that the inner kthread_stop() has
completed first.  The solution for the pvrusb2 driver is some hackish
code which changes the main control thread tear down into a two step
process.  This then makes it possible to delay issuing the
kthread_stop() on the control thread until after we know that
everything has been torn down first.  (And yes, we really need that
kthread_stop() because it's the only way to safely guarantee that a
module-referencing kernel thread has safely returned back out of the
module before we finally remove the module.)
