The imon_ir_change_protocol function gets called two different ways, one
way is from rc_register_device, for initial protocol selection/setup,
and the other is via a userspace-initiated protocol change request,
either by direct sysfs prodding or by something like ir-keytable.
In the rc_register_device case, the imon context lock is already held,
but when initiated from userspace, it is not, so we must acquire it,
prior to calling send_packet, which requires that the lock is held.
Without this change, there's an easily reproduceable deadlock when
another function calls send_packet (such as either of the display write
fops) after a userspace-initiated change_protocol.
With a lock-debugging-enabled kernel, I was getting this:

Add two generic hardware events: front-end and back-end stalled cycles.
These events measure conditions when the CPU is executing code but its
capabilities are not fully utilized. Understanding such situations and
analyzing them is an important sub-task of code optimization workflows.
Both events limit performance: most front end stalls tend to be caused
by branch misprediction or instruction fetch cachemisses, backend
stalls can be caused by various resource shortages or inefficient
instruction scheduling.
Front-end stalls are the more important ones: code cannot run fast
if the instruction stream is not being kept up.
An over-utilized back-end can cause front-end stalls and thus
has to be kept an eye on as well.
The exact composition is very program logic and instruction mix
dependent.
We use the terms 'stall', 'front-end' and 'back-end' loosely and
try to use the best available events from specific CPUs that
approximate these concepts.

Sedat and Bruno reported RCU stalls which turned out to be caused by
the following;
sched_init() calls init_rt_bandwidth() which calls hrtimer_init()
_BEFORE_ hrtimers_init() is called. While not entirely correct this
worked because hrtimer_init() only accessed statically initialized
data (hrtimer_bases.clock_base[CLOCK_MONOTONIC])
Commit e06383db9 (hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more
then 2 clockids) added an indirection to the hrtimer_bases.clock_base
lookup to avoid gap handling in the hot path. The table which is used
for the translataion from CLOCK_ID to HRTIMER_BASE index is
initialized at runtime in hrtimers_init(). So the early call of the
scheduler code translates CLOCK_MONOTONIC to HRTIMER_BASE_REALTIME.
Thus the rt_bandwith timer ends up on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the timer is
armed and the wall clock time is set (e.g. ntpdate in the early boot
process - which also gives the problem deterministic behaviour
i.e. magic recovery after N hours), then the timer ends up with an
expiry time far into the future. That breaks the RT throttler
mechanism as rt runtime is accumulated and never cleared, so the rt
throttler detects a false cpu hog condition and blocks all RT tasks
until the timer finally expires. That in turn stalls the RCU thread of
TINYRCU which leads to an huge amount of RCU callbacks piling up.
Make the translation table statically initialized, so we are back to
the status of <= 2.6.39.

The respective interrupt handlers decide by the subcode if they are

Counting is currently done before looking at the subcode which means
each handler counts an interrupt even if it is not handling it.

__blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails,
which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal
is known to both the kernel and userland. The behavior also creates a
subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if
there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to
work around the problem from userland.
Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after
-ENOMEDIA too.

cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.
* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
check_disk_change() is never called. The media is known to be gone
and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
invalidation never happens.
* But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.
There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure. Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway. All we get is inconsistent behavior.
Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
of open proceeds.

While tracking down the reason for an ioremap() failure I was
distracted by the WARN_ONCE() in __ioremap_caller().
Performing a WARN_ONCE() sanity check before the mapping
is successful seems pointless if the caller sends bad values.
A case in point is when the BIOS provides erroneous screen_info
values causing vesafb_probe() to request an outrageuous size.
The WARN_ONCE is then wasted on bogosity. Move the warning to a
point where the mapping has been successfully allocated.

There are a couple of places in this code where these values can wrap or

Ensure that that doesn't happen. Do all of the length calculation and
checks first, and only perform the memcpy after they pass.
Also, increase some stack variables to 32 bits to ensure that they don't
wrap without being detected.
Finally, change the error codes to be a bit more descriptive of any
problems detected. -EINVAL isn't very accurate.
