something-bility is spelled as something-blity
so a grep for 'blit' would find these lines

this is so trivial that I didn't split it by subsystem / copy
additional maintainers - all changes are to comments
The only purpose is to get fewer false positives when grepping
around the kernel sources.

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)

Since the variable is only used in one case statement, push it down to

Although this doesn't cause any problems it could potentially do so for
future mmap using devices. No real work is needed to sort it out so untangle
it before it causes problems

<title>tty: throttling race fix</title>

The tty throttling code can race due to the lock drops. It takes very high
loads but this has been observed and verified by Rob Duncan.

The basic problem is that on an SMP box we can go

	CPU #1				CPU #2
	need to throttle ?
	suppose we should		buffer space cleared
					are we throttled
					yes ? - unthrottle
	call throttle method

This changeet take the termios lock to protect against this. The termios
lock isn't the initial obvious candidate but many implementations of throttle
methods already need to poke around their own termios structures (and nobody
really locks them against a racing change of flow control).

This does mean that anyone who is setting tty-&gt;low_latency = 1 and then
calling tty_flip_buffer_push from their unthrottle method is going to end up
collapsing in a pile of locks. However we've removed all the known bogus
users of low_latency = 1 and such use isn't safe anyway for other reasons so
catching it would be an improvement.

If you issue an ioctl to flush a tty as the line discipline is changing or
otherwise unplugged you can get a crash. The bug is very old but the rest
of the BKL lock dropping and some very "good" luck on Ingo's part caught
an example.

Use the correct ldisc_ref form so that we wait for the ldisc change to
complete and then flush

Carry on pushing code out of tty_io when it belongs to other drivers. I'm
not 100% happy with some of this and it will be worth revisiting some of the
exports later when the restructuring work is done.
