[PATCH] lockdep: use mutex_lock_nested for bd_mutex to avoid lockdep warning

[PATCH] lockdep: simplify some aspects of bd_mutex nesting
When we open (actually blkdev_get) a partition we need to also open (get) the
whole device that holds the partition. The involves some limited recursion.
This patch tries to simplify some aspects of this.
As well as opening the whole device, we need to increment ->bd_part_count when
a partition is opened (this is used by rescan_partitions to avoid a rescan if
any partition is active, as that would be confusing).
The main change this patch makes is to move the inc/dec of bd_part_count into
blkdev_{get,put} for the whole rather than doing it in blkdev_{get,put} for
the partition.
More specifically, we introduce __blkdev_get and __blkdev_put which do exactly
what blkdev_{get,put} did, only with an extra "for_part" argument
(blkget_{get,put} then call the __ version with a '0' for the extra argument).
If for_part is 1, then the blkdev is being get(put) because a partition is
being opened(closed) for the first(last) time, and so bd_part_count should be
updated (on success). The particular advantage of pushing this function down
is that the bd_mutex lock (which is needed to update bd_part_count) is already
held at the lower level.
Note that this slightly changes the semantics of bd_part_count. Instead of
updating it whenever a partition is opened or released, it is now only updated
on the first open or last release. This is an adequate semantic as it is only
ever tested for "== 0".
Having introduced these functions we remove the current bd_part_count updates
from do_open (which is really the body of blkdev_get) and call
__blkdev_get(... 1). Similarly in blkget_put we remove the old bd_part_count
updates and call __blkget_put(..., 1). This call is moved to the end of
__blkdev_put to avoid nested locks of bd_mutex.
Finally the mutex_lock on whole->bd_mutex in do_open can be removed. It was
only really needed to protect bd_part_count, and that is now managed (and
protected) within the recursive call.
The observation that bd_part_count is central to the locking issues, and the
modifications to create __blkdev_put are from Peter Zijlstra.

[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty locking
Fix the locking of signal->tty.
Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used
by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current'
or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway.
(NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules)
Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding
tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys
are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty
access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access).
It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing.
(NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to
be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think
it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info

By putting some printk in kernel, I found that irqbalance is trying to
move CPEI which is handled as PER_CPU irq. That's why.
CPEI(Corrected Platform Error Interrupt) is ia64 specific irq, is
allowed to pin to particular processor which selected by the platform, and
even it is PER_CPU but it has set_affinity handler (=iosapic_set_affinity)
as same as other IO-SAPIC-level interrupts. (I don't know why, but
I guess that there would be typical situation where the handler for
migration is needed, such as hotplug - the processor going to be
offline/hot-removed.)
To shut up this warning, there are 2 way at least:
a) fix CPEI stuff
b) prohibit setting affinity to PER_CPU irq
I'm not sure what stuff of CPEI need to be fixed, but I think that
returning error to attempting move PER_CPU irq is useful for all
applications since it will never work.
Following small patch takes b) style.
It works, the warning disappeared and irqbalance still runs well.

driver_detach took the semaphore of the PCI device and
bus_rescan_devices_helper wanted to take the semaphore of the FireWire

since Linux 2.6.16, commit bf74ad5bc41727d5f2f1c6bedb2c1fac394de731,

The fix (or workaround) adds a dummy driver to the hpsb_host device. Now
bus_rescan_devices_helper won't scan the host device anymore. This
doesn't hurt since we have no drivers which will bind to these devices
and it is unlikely that there will ever be such a driver. The dummy

- nodemgr_remove_uds() iterated over nodemgr_ud_class.children without

writing to /sys/bus/ieee1394/destroy_node.
- Clean up access to the FireWire bus type's subsys.rwsem: Access it
uniformly via ieee1394_bus_type. Shrink rwsem protected regions
where possible. Expand them where necessary. The latter wasn't a
problem so far because knodemgr is globally serialized.
This should harden the interaction of ieee1394 with sysfs and lay ground
for deserialized operation of multiple knodemgrds and for implementation
of subthreads for parallelized scanning and probing.

video1394: remove BKL contention
video1394 does not need to take the BKL. The data structures shared between
file_operations and interrupts are already protected through context-specific
spinlocks.
The only other danger is video1394_release() being called during another
operation, however this cannot happen because release is only ever invoked
when the last thread has closed the fd.

ohci1394: steps to implement suspend/resume
I did a quick shot on what I described and the appended patch
does the first thing needed for working suspend/resume
in ohci1394 which is HW de- and re-initialisation.
It works with suspend2disk on my Ricoh R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller
with the 2.6.17 kernel to the extent that if I call dvgrab --interactive
after suspend2disk without unloading ohci1394, it does not lock up
dvgrab with 100% CPU but properly connects to the camera, given
that I first unplug and plug the camera after coming back from
suspend.
I guess that could be fixed by forcing a bus reset in the resume
function.
I cannot test suspend to RAM here at the moment and should
follow the guidelines in Documentation/power/pci.txt also,
so this is rather a quick report than a finished patch and
there are some rough edges:
However, with this patch, I have to unload at least some in-kernel
users of ohci1394 like dv1394 or video1394 before suspending.
Not doing that caused an Oops and a bad tasklet error, probably from
not handling ISO tasklets during suspend/resume properly.
Maybe these can be temporarily cleared or unregistered and
re-registered for suspend/resume with help from the other
layers or from the highlevel 1394 core, but I do not really
know what these do.
But this patch provides a useful base to start from and is
already of much help for people which do not need dv1394
and video1394 or can unload them at least during suspend.
I cannot test function with sbp2 at the moment, but raw1394
seems to work fine.

ieee1394: sbp2: slightly reorder sbp2scsi_abort
Put the target's fetch agent into reset state before the underlying ORB
DMA is unmapped and the ->done handler is called. It is highly unlikely
but the target could access that ORB right before sbp2 sends the reset
request.

ieee1394: remove unused struct member from highlevel API
struct hpsb_highlevel's struct module *owner is neither used by the IEEE
1394 core nor set by any of the in-tree drivers or the two out-of-tree
highlevel drivers I know about (dfg1394, mem1394) --- nor is this member
