945fa4d283 dm kcopyd: remove redundant client counting
Remove client counting code that is no longer needed.

Initialization and destruction is made globally from dm_init and dm_exit and is
not based on client counts. Initialization allocates only one empty slab cache,
so there is no negative impact from performing the initialization always,
regardless of whether some client uses kcopyd or not.

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.

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.)

97f26ff604 V4L/DVB (7712): pvrusb2: Close connect/disconnect race
If a disconnect happens before initialization is completed, the
pvrusb2 driver can accidentally touch dangling pointers.  The whole
initialization function must be protected by the big_lock, and once
inside that lock, the initialization function should abort if it is
discovered that a disconnect has already taken place.

e5be15c638 V4L/DVB (7711): pvrusb2: Fix race on module unload
The pvrusb2 driver - for basically forever - was not enforcing a
proper module tear-down.  Kernel threads are used inside the driver
and all must be gone before the module can be safely removed.  This
changeset reimplements a chunk of pvrusb2-context.c to enforce this
correctly.  Unfortunately this is not a simple fix.  The new
implementation also cuts back on kernel thread usage; instead of there
being 1 control thread per instance now it's just 1 control thread
shared by all instances.  (By dropping to a single thread then the
module exit function can block on its shutdown and the thread itself
can monitor and cleanly shut down all of the other instances first.)
