Note that ll_prep_inode() in the latter does *not* modify -&gt;d_inode;
it expects non-negative dentry, and in such cases ll_prep_inode() doesn't
modify *inode - it only uses the value.

<title>staging: iio: isl29028: deprecate use of isl in compatible string for isil</title>

<content type='text'>
"isil" and "isl" prefixes are used at various locations inside the kernel
to reference Intersil corporation.  This patch is part of a series fixing
those locations were "isl" is used in compatible strings to use the now
expected "isil" prefix instead (NASDAQ symbol for Intersil and most used
version).  The old compatible string is kept for backward compatibility.

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
  preparation for a rework of the life time rules.  In this part, the
  most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
  it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
  address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.

  Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
  have a swap backing.  Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
  lustre backing_dev_info from staging.  Last patch was from Al,
  unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"

* 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  Make super_blocks and sb_lock static
  mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities
  fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode
  staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info
  fs: remove default_backing_dev_info
  fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
  nfs: don't call bdi_unregister
  ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister
  fs: remove mapping-&gt;backing_dev_info
  fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping-&gt;backing_dev_info
  nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code
  block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device
  block_dev: only write bdev inode on close
  fs: introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
  fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED
  fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info

This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for
5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"):

: PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are
: getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting
: frozen.  But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order
: to handle OOM situtation.  In order to protect from late wake ups OOM
: killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen.  This, however, still keeps
: a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time
: freeze_processes finishes.

The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that
would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset.

The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer
and PM freezer _completely_.  As Tejun pointed out, even though the race
condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in
the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably.  I can
only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable
unexpectedly.

On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better
(full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths.

I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM:
- many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually
- s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop
	echo processors &gt; /sys/power/pm_test
	while true
	do
		echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state
		sleep 1s
	done
- simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees
  freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling
  try_to_freeze
- debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added
  and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before
  it wakes up waiters.
- rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates
  in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but
  I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any
  locking down wake_up_process. Oleg?

As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and
allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks
are frozen and OOM disabled.  I wasn't able to catch a race where
oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race
is really unlikely.

The first 2 patches are simple cleanups for OOM.  They should go in
regardless the rest IMO.

Patches 3 and 4 are trivial printk -&gt; pr_info conversion and they should
go in ditto.

The main patch is the last one and I would appreciate acks from Tejun and
Rafael.  I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs.
task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I
haven't screwed anything in the freezer code.  I have found several
surprises there.

This patch (of 5):

This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional
change.

Note:
I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to
wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is
just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom
victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary
here.

   - Enhanced timestamp handling

  ASoC
   - Lots of refactoringin ASoC core, moving drivers to more data driven
     initialization and rationalizing a lot of DAPM usage
   - Much improved handling of CDCLK clocks on Samsung I2S controllers
   - Lots of driver specific cleanups and feature improvements
   - CODEC support for TI PCM514x and TLV320AIC3104 devices
   - Board support for Tegra systems with Realtek RT5677
   - New driver for Maxim max98357a
   - More enhancements / fixes for Intel SST driver

  Others

     and cleanups
   - DT support for old non-ASoC atmel driver
   - oxygen cleanups, XIO2001 init, Studio Evolution SE6x support
   - Emu8000 DRAM size detection fix on ISA(!!) AWE64 boards
   - A few more ak411x fixes for ice1724 boards"
