37be41241f [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.

24ec839c43 [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
       invocations)

/proc/version (which can have different utsname values inside a uts
namespaces).  this patch makes the varying data arguments and changes the
string to a format string, using those arguments.
