Pull audit namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "Starting with 3.14-rc1 the audit code is faulty (think oopses and
  races) with respect to how it computes the network namespace of which
  socket to reply to, and I happened to notice by chance when reading
  through the code.

  My testing and the automated build bots don't find any problems with
  these fixes"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  audit: Update kdoc for audit_send_reply and audit_list_rules_send
  audit: Send replies in the proper network namespace.

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.

However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.

Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.

<id>9c225f2655e36a470c4f58dbbc99244c5fc7f2d4</id>
<content type='text'>
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get
the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually
guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so
threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()"
concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data.

This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says:

 "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations

  All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each
  other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on
  regular files or symbolic links: [...]"

and one of the effects is the file position update.

This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody
has ever cared.  Until now.  Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to
Michael Kerrisk that was due to this.

This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by
read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads
or processes.

 "This pull request contains a workqueue usage fix for firewire.

  For quite a long time now, workqueue only treats two work items
  identical iff both their addresses and callbacks match.  This is to
  avoid introducing false dependency through the work item being
  recycled while being executed.  This changes non-reentrancy guarantee
  for the users of PREPARE[_DELAYED]_WORK() - if the function changes,
  reentrancy isn't guaranteed against the previous instance.  Firewire
  depended on such nonreentrancy guarantee.

  This is fixed by doing the work item multiplexing from firewire proper
