commit 946e51f2bf37f1656916eb75bd0742ba33983c28 upstream.

Signed-off-by: Al Viro &lt;viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk&gt;
[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Apply name changes in all the different places we use d_alias and d_child
 - Move the WARN_ON() in __d_free() to d_free() as we don't have dentry_free()]

Commit 64252c75a removed the useless dget from dentry_unhash but didn't
fix up this caller in the usb code.  There used to be exactly one dput per
dentry_unhash call; now there are none.

Protect d_subdirs and d_child with d_lock, except in filesystems that aren't
using dcache_lock for these anyway (eg. using i_mutex).

Note: if we change the locking rule in future so that -&gt;d_child protection is
provided only with -&gt;d_parent-&gt;d_lock, it may allow us to reduce some locking.
But it would be an exception to an otherwise regular locking scheme, so we'd
have to see some good results. Probably not worthwhile.

<title>fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode</title>

Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
but that's left for later patches.

The code this is attempting to lock against does not use the BKL,
so it's not needed.

Most likely this code is still broken/racy (Al Viro also thinks so),
but removing the BKL should not make it worse than before.

<title>USB: make hcd.h public (drivers dependency)</title>

The usbcore headers: hcd.h and hub.h are shared between usbcore,
HCDs and a couple of other drivers (e.g. USBIP modules).
So, it makes sense to move them into a more public location and
to cleanup dependency of those modules on kernel internal headers.
This patch moves hcd.h from drivers/usb/core into include/linux/usb/
