There's a bug in releasing scsi_device where the release function
actually frees the block queue. However, the block queue release
calls flush_work(), which requires process context (the scsi_device
structure may release from irq context). Update the release function
to invoke via the execute_in_process_context() API.
Also clean up the scsi_target structure releasing via this API.

We have several points in the SCSI stack (primarily for our device
functions) where we need to guarantee process context, but (given the
place where the last reference was released) we cannot guarantee this.
This API gets around the issue by executing the function directly if
the caller has process context, but scheduling a workqueue to execute
in process context if the caller doesn't have it. Unfortunately, it
requires memory allocation in interrupt context, but it's better than
what we have previously. The true solution will require a bit of
re-engineering, so isn't appropriate for 2.6.16.

Fix x86 oprofile regression introduced by:
commit c34d1b4d16
[PATCH] mm: kill check_user_page_readable
That commit reorganized tests for the userspace stack walking moving all
those tests into dump_backtrace(), however, dump_backtrace() was used for
both userspace and kernel stalk walking. The result is typically no
recorded callgraph information for kernel samples.
Revive the original function as dump_kernel_backtrace() and rename the
other to dump_user_backtrace() to avoid future confusion.

Use the real-time status registers of the Winbond W83782D, W83783S and

cannot be trusted at least for voltage inputs, as they are two-times
triggers (as opposed to comparator mode, which we want.) The w83627hf
driver was fixed in a similar way some times ago.

Problem discovered and initial patch by Olaf Kirch:
there's a problem with IPsec that has been bugging some of our users
for the last couple of kernel revs. Every now and then, IPsec will
freeze the machine completely. This is with openswan user land,
and with kernels up to and including 2.6.16-rc2.
I managed to debug this a little, and what happens is that we end
up looping in xfrm_lookup, and never get out. With a bit of debug
printks added, I can this happening:
ip_route_output_flow calls xfrm_lookup
xfrm_find_bundle returns NULL (apparently we're in the
middle of negotiating a new SA or something)
We therefore call xfrm_tmpl_resolve. This returns EAGAIN
We go to sleep, waiting for a policy update.
Then we loop back to the top
Apparently, the dst_orig that was passed into xfrm_lookup
has been dropped from the routing table (obsolete=2)
This leads to the endless loop, because we now create
a new bundle, check the new bundle and find it's stale
(stale_bundle -> xfrm_bundle_ok -> dst_check() return 0)
People have been testing with the patch below, which seems to fix the
problem partially. They still see connection hangs however (things
only clear up when they start a new ping or new ssh). So the patch
is obvsiouly not sufficient, and something else seems to go wrong.
I'm grateful for any hints you may have...
I suggest that we simply bail out always. If the dst decides to die
on us later on, the packet will be dropped anyway. So there is no
great urgency to retry here. Once we have the proper resolution
queueing, we can then do the retry again.
