->encode_fh() API change
pass inode + parent's inode or NULL instead of dentry + bool saying
whether we want the parent or not.

NOTE: that needs ceph fix folded in.

cgroup: Take css_set_lock from cgroup_css_sets_empty()

As indicated in the comment above cgroup_css_sets_empty it needs the
css_set_lock. But neither of the 2 call points have it, so rather then fixing
the callers just take the lock inside cgroup_css_sets_empty().

cgroup: Fix use after free of cgrp (cgrp->css_sets)

Running a 3.4 kernel + Fedora-18 (systemd) userland on my Allwinner A10
(arm cortex a8), I'm seeing repeated, reproducable list_del list corruption
errors when build with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, and the backtrace always shows
free_css_set_work as the function making the problematic list_del call.

I've tracked this doen to a use after free of the cgrp struct, specifically
of the cgrp->css_sets list_head, which gets cleared by free_css_set_work.

Since free_css_set_work runs form a workqueue, it is possible for it to not be
done with clearing the list when the cgrp gets free-ed. To avoid this the code
adding the links increases cgrp->count, and the freeing code running from the
workqueue decreases cgrp->count *after* doing list_del, and then if the count
goes to 0 calls cgroup_wakeup_rmdir_waiter().

However cgroup_rmdir() is missing a check for cgrp->count != 0, causing it
to still continue with the rmdir (which leads to the free-ing of the cgrp),
before free_css_set_work is done. Sometimes the free-ed memory is re-used
before free_css_set_work gets around to unlinking link->cgrp_link_list,
triggering the list_del list corruption messages.

This patch fixes this by properly checking for cgrp->count != 0 and waiting
for the cgroup_rmdir_waitq in that case.

ARM: 7780/1: add missing linker section markup to head-common.S

Macro __INIT is used to place various code in head-common.S into the init
section. This should be matched by a closing __FINIT. Also, add an
explicit ".text" to ensure subsequent code is placed into the correct
section; __FINIT is simply a closing marker to match __INIT and doesn't
guarantee to revert to .text.

This historically caused no problem, because macro __CPUINIT was used at
the exact location where __FINIT was missing, which then placed following
code into the cpuinit section. However, with commit 22f0a2736 "init.h:
remove __cpuinit sections from the kernel" applied, __CPUINIT becomes a
no-op, thus leaving all this code in the init section, rather than the
regular text section. This caused issues such as secondary CPU boot
failures or crashes.

net: Performance fix for process_backlog

In process_backlog the input_pkt_queue is only checked once for new
packets and quota is artificially reduced to reflect precisely the
number of packets on the input_pkt_queue so that the loop exits
appropriately.

This patches changes the behavior to be more straightforward and
less convoluted. Packets are processed until either the quota
is met or there are no more packets to process.

This patch seems to provide a small, but noticeable performance
improvement. The performance improvement is a result of staying
in the process_backlog loop longer which can reduce number of IPI's.
