Fix two places in commit 104655fd4dce ("dm thin: support discards") that
didn't use pool->lock to protect against concurrent changes to the
prepared_discards list.
Without this fix, thin_endio() can race with process_discard(), leading
to concurrent list_add()s that result in the processes locking up with
an error like the following:

Jean-Francois Dagenais reported:
Configuring a gpio pin with the gpio-pch driver with
"IRQF_TRIGGER_LOW | IRQF_ONESHOT" generates an interrupt storm for
threaded ISR until the ISR thread actually gets to physically clear
the interrupt on the triggering chip!! The immediate observable
symptom is the high CPU usage for my ISR thread task and the
interrupt count in /proc/interrupts incrementing radically.
The driver is wrong in several ways:
1) Using handle_simple_irq() does not provide proper flow control
handling. In the case of oneshot threaded handlers for the
demultiplexed interrupts this results in an interrupt storm because
the simple handler does not deal with masking/unmasking. Even
without threaded oneshot handlers an interrupt storm for level type
interrupts can easily be triggered when the interrupt is disabled
and the interrupt line is activated from the device.
2) Acknowlegding the demultiplexed interrupt before calling the
handler is wrong for level type interrupts.
3) The set_type function unconditionally enables the interrupt. It's
supposed to set the type and nothing else. The unmasking is done by
the core code.
Move the acknowledge code into a separate function and add it to the
demux irqchip callbacks.
Remove the unconditional enabling from the set_type() callback and set
the proper flow handlers depending on the selected type (level/edge).

This adds EHCI host support to the chipidea driver. We want it to be
part of the hdrc driver and not a standalone (sub-)driver module, as
the structure of ehci-hcd.c suggests, so for chipidea controller we
hack it to not provide platform-related code, but only the ehci hcd.
The ehci-platform driver won't work for us here too, because the
controller uses the same registers for both device and host mode and
also otg-related bits, so it's not really possible to put ehci registers
into a separate resource.
This is not a pretty solution, but the alternative is exporting symbols
from the chipidea driver to a ehci-chipidea driver and doing all the
module refcounting.

Add some generic code for roles and implement simple role switching
based on ID pin state and/or a sysfs file. At this, we also rename
the device to ci_hdrc, which is what it is.
The "manual" switch is made into a sysfs file and not debugfs, because
it might be useful even in non-debug context. For some boards, like
sheevaplug, it seems to be the only way to switch roles without modifying
the hardware, since the ID pin is always grounded.

Pull target fix from Nicholas Bellinger:
"This patch removes some incorrect legacy code to free se_lun_acl

That said, we've been able to trigger an OOPS in v4.0 code for this
special case when the associated MappedLUNs had not also been made
explicit based on active TPG LUN layout during the conversion, so it
really makes senses to go ahead and drop this extra cruft to avoid any
possible issues here.
This ends up only effecting iscsi-target module code (it's the only
user) and is CC'ed to stable."

Since chipidea is a dual role controller, it makes sense to move it
to its own directory, where we can also have host, otg and platform

code, etc.
Firstly, let's move the udc and platform code to drivers/usb/chipidea.

Newer versions of the chipidea controller support the "advance" setting
of usb address, which means instead of setting it immediately, deferring
it till the status completion. Unfortunately, older versions of the
controller don't have this feature, so in order to support those too, we
simply don't use it. It's about 4 lines of extra code, and isn't in any
way critical to performance. While at it, change the return value of the
hw_usb_set_address() to void, since it can't fail in any measurable way.
With this patch, ci13xxx_udc driver works with the chipidea controller in
kirkwood (feroceon SoC), as found in, for example, sheevaplug.

So we have another case of paca->irq_happened getting out of
sync with the HW irq state. This can happen when a perfmon
interrupt occurs while soft disabled, as it will return to a
soft disabled but hard enabled context while leaving a stale
PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS flag set.
This patch fixes it, and also adds a test for the condition
of those flags being out of sync in arch_local_irq_restore()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled.
This helps catching those gremlins faster (and so far I
can't seem see any anymore, so that's good news).

made and the original is left to be processed by other

RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER. As there is no protocol handler for

increased.

In 2009 Philip Reiser notied that a few users of netlink connector
interface needed a capability check and added the idiom
cap_raised(nsp->eff_cap, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) to a few of them, on the premise
that netlink was asynchronous.
In 2011 Patrick McHardy noticed we were being silly because netlink is
synchronous and removed eff_cap from the netlink_skb_params and changed
the idiom to cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
Looking at those spots with a fresh eye we should be calling
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN). The only reason I can see for not calling capable
is that it once appeared we were not in the same task as the caller which
would have made calling capable() impossible.
In the initial user_namespace the only difference between between
cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) are a
few sanity checks and the fact that capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) sets
PF_SUPERPRIV if we use the capability.
Since we are going to be using root privilege setting PF_SUPERPRIV seems
the right thing to do.
The motivation for this that patch is that in a child user namespace
cap_raised(current_cap(),...) tests your capabilities with respect to that
child user namespace not capabilities in the initial user namespace and
thus will allow processes that should be unprivielged to use the kernel
services that are only protected with cap_raised(current_cap(),..).
To fix possible user_namespace issues and to just clean up the code
replace cap_raised(current_cap(), CAP_SYS_ADMIN) with
capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
