This patch kills a redundant rcu_dereference on fa->fa_info in fib_trie.c.
As this dereference directly follows a list_for_each_entry_rcu line, we
have already taken a read barrier with respect to getting an entry from
the list.
This read barrier guarantees that all values read out of fa are valid.
In particular, the contents of structure pointed to by fa->fa_info is
initialised before fa->fa_info is actually set (see fn_trie_insert);
the setting of fa->fa_info itself is further separated with a write
barrier from the insertion of fa into the list.
Therefore by taking a read barrier after obtaining fa from the list
(which is given by list_for_each_entry_rcu), we can be sure that
fa->fa_info contains a valid pointer, as well as the fact that the
data pointed to by fa->fa_info is itself valid.

In 'net' change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu(), which is advantageous
when the true CPU count is much smaller than NR_CPUS.

This might be harmless, but looks like a race from code inspection (I
was unable to trigger it). I must admit, I don't understand why we
can't return TIMER_RETRY after 'spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock)'
without doing bump_cpu_timer(), but this is what original code does.
posix_cpu_timer_set:
read_lock(&tasklist_lock);
spin_lock(&p->sighand->siglock);
list_del_init(&timer->it.cpu.entry);
spin_unlock(&p->sighand->siglock);
We are probaly deleting the timer from run_posix_cpu_timers's 'firing'
local list_head while run_posix_cpu_timers() does list_for_each_safe.
Various bad things can happen, for example we can just delete this timer
so that list_for_each() will not notice it and run_posix_cpu_timers()
will not reset '->firing' flag. In that case,
....
if (timer->it.cpu.firing) {
read_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
timer->it.cpu.firing = -1;
return TIMER_RETRY;
}
sys_timer_settime() goes to 'retry:', calls posix_cpu_timer_set() again,
it returns TIMER_RETRY ...

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents
another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that.
After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and
before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find
tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu
does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL.
At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleaned
up in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just
return from irq.

1. cleanup_timers() sets timer->task = NULL under tasklist + ->sighand locks.
That means that this code in posix_cpu_timer_del() and posix_cpu_timer_set()
lock_timer(timer);
if (timer->task == NULL)
return;
read_lock(tasklist);
put_task_struct(timer->task)
is racy. With this patch timer->task modified and accounted only under
timer->it_lock. Sadly, this means that dead task_struct won't be freed
until timer deleted or armed.
2. run_posix_cpu_timers() collects expired timers into local list under
tasklist + ->sighand again. That means that posix_cpu_timer_del()
should check timer->it.cpu.firing under these locks too.

IDR trees include a cache of idr_layer objects. There's no way to destroy
this cache, so when we discard an overall idr tree we end up leaking some
memory.
Add and use idr_destroy() for this. v9fs and infiniband also need to use
idr_destroy() to avoid leaks.
Or, we make the cache global, like radix_tree_preload(). Which is probably
better. Later.

neigh_changeaddr attempts to delete neighbour timers without setting
nud_state. This doesn't work because the timer may have already fired
when we acquire the write lock in neigh_changeaddr. The result is that
the timer may keep firing for quite a while until the entry reaches
NEIGH_FAILED.
It should be setting the nud_state straight away so that if the timer
has already fired it can simply exit once we relinquish the lock.
In fact, this whole function is simply duplicating the logic in
neigh_ifdown which in turn is already doing the right thing when
it comes to deleting timers and setting nud_state.
So all we have to do is take that code out and put it into a common
function and make both neigh_changeaddr and neigh_ifdown call it.

neigh_add_timer cannot use add_timer unconditionally. The reason is that
by the time it has obtained the write lock someone else (e.g., neigh_update)
could have already added a new timer.
So it should only use mod_timer and deal with its return value accordingly.
This bug would have led to rare neighbour cache entry leaks.

When I originally moved exit_itimers into __exit_signal, that was the only
place where we could reliably know it was the last thread in the group
dying, without races. Since then we've gotten the signal_struct.live
counter, and do_exit can reliably do group-wide cleanup work.
This patch moves the call to do_exit, where it's made without locks. This
avoids the deadlock issues that the old __exit_signal code's comment talks
about, and the one that Oleg found recently with process CPU timers.

AMD recently discovered that on some hardware, there is a race condition
possible when a C-state change request goes onto the bus at the same
time as a P-state change request.
Both requests happen, but the southbridge hardware only acknowledges the
C-state change. The PowerNow! driver is then stuck in a loop, waiting
for the P-state change acknowledgement. The driver eventually times
out, but can no longer perform P-state changes.
It turns out the solution is to resend the P-state change, which the
southbridge will acknowledge normally.
