8dc4f3e17d cgroups: move cgroups destroy() callbacks to cgroup_diput()
Move the calls to the cgroup subsystem destroy() methods from
cgroup_rmdir() to cgroup_diput().  This allows control file reads and
writes to access their subsystem state without having to be concerned with
locking against cgroup destruction - the control file dentry will keep the
cgroup and its subsystem state objects alive until the file is closed.

The documentation is updated to reflect the changed semantics of destroy();
additionally the locking comments for destroy() and some other methods were
clarified and decrustified.

or

deb21db778 VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names
Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name.  The new do_ioctl
is exported in fs.h but not to modules.

Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
many other vfs_XXX functions already do.  Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs).  Add DocBook
for new vfs_ioctl.

4aa323bd83 DS1WM: decouple host IRQ and INTR active state settings
The DS1WM driver incorrectly infers the IAS bit (1-wire interrupt active
high) from IRQ settings.  There are devices that have IAS=0 but still need
the IRQ to trigger on a rising edge.  With this patch, machines with DS1WM
that need IAS=1 have to set .active_high=1 in the ds1wm_platform_data.

4cbc76eadf power_supply: remove capacity_level from list of sysfs attributes
This commit:

commit 8efe444038
Author: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net>
Date:   Wed Dec 12 14:12:56 2007 -0500

    power: remove POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL

Removed CAPACITY_LEVEL from every other code, leaving the array with sysfs
attributes with one more entry than the number of enums in power_supply.h.
This leads to some attributes containing the value of the attribute right
after it.  For example, temp_ambient would have the value of
time_to_empty_now.  In my case, I had time_to_full_avg have the value which
should be in model_name, when the former was usually empty.

388bbb09b9 [MTD] Add mtd panic_write function pointer
MTDs are well suited for logging critical data and the mtdoops driver
allows kernel panics/oops to be written to flash in a blackbox flight
recorder fashion allowing better debugging and analysis of crashes.

Any kernel oops in user context can be easily handled since the kernel
continues as normal and any queued mtd writes are scheduled. Any kernel
oops in interrupt context results in a panic and the delayed writes will
not be scheduled however. The existing mtd->write function cannot be
called in interrupt context so these messages can never be written to
flash.

This patch adds a panic_write function pointer that drivers can
optionally implement which can be called in interrupt context. It is
only intended to be called when its known the kernel is about to panic
and we need to write to succeed. Since the kernel is not going to be
running for much longer, this function can break locks and delay to
ensure the write succeeds (but not sleep).
