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.

Fix a bug which was reported and diagnosed by
Stefan Jones <stefan.jones@churchillrandoms.co.uk>
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.
Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann for reporting this and testing the fix.

While working on 64K pages, I found this little buglet in our
update_mmu_cache() implementation.
The code calls __hash_page() passing it an "access" parameter (the type
of access that triggers the hash) containing the bits _PAGE_RW and
_PAGE_USER of the linux PTE. The latter is useless in this case and the
former is wrong. In fact, if we have a writeable PTE and we pass
_PAGE_RW to hash_page(), it will set _PAGE_DIRTY (since we track dirty
that way, by hash faulting !dirty) which is not what we want.
In fact, the correct fix is to always pass 0. That means that only
read-only or already dirty read write PTEs will be preloaded. The
(hopefully rare) case of a non dirty read write PTE can't be preloaded
this way, it will have to fault in hash_page on the actual access.

icmp_send doesn't use skb->sk at all so even if skb->sk has already
been freed it can't cause crash there (it would've crashed somewhere
else first, e.g., ip_queue_xmit).
I found a double-free on an skb that could explain this though.
dccp_sendmsg and dccp_write_xmit are a little confused as to what
should free the packet when something goes wrong. Sometimes they
both go for the ball and end up in each other's way.
This patch makes dccp_write_xmit always free the packet no matter
what. This makes sense since dccp_transmit_skb which in turn comes
from the fact that ip_queue_xmit always frees the packet.
