* 'writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
writeback: check for registered bdi in flusher add and inode dirty
writeback: add name to backing_dev_info
writeback: add some debug inode list counters to bdi stats
writeback: get rid of pdflush completely
writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data
writeback: move dirty inodes from super_block to backing_dev_info
writeback: get rid of generic_sync_sb_inodes() export
This adds two new exported functions:
- writeback_inodes_sb(), which only attempts to writeback dirty inodes on
this super_block, for WB_SYNC_NONE writeout.
- sync_inodes_sb(), which writes out all dirty inodes on this super_block
and also waits for the IO to complete.

The networking code checks CAP_SYS_MODULE before using request_module() to
try to load a kernel module. While this seems reasonable it's actually
weakening system security since we have to allow CAP_SYS_MODULE for things
like /sbin/ip and bluetoothd which need to be able to trigger module loads.
CAP_SYS_MODULE actually grants those binaries the ability to directly load
any code into the kernel. We should instead be protecting modprobe and the
modules on disk, rather than granting random programs the ability to load code
directly into the kernel. Instead we are going to gate those networking checks
on CAP_NET_ADMIN which still limits them to root but which does not grant
those processes the ability to load arbitrary code into the kernel.

The current s626 comedi driver in staging conflicts with philips SAA7146
media/dvb based cards, because it claims the same vendor:device pci id
for all subdevice/subvendor ids. What happens is that for people that have a
philips SAA7146 media/dvb based card, s626 if available gets loaded by udev
and makes system freeze (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=51445).
The s626 driver shouldn't claim all 1131:7146 devices. Fix this by
specifying specific known subvendor:subdevice ids in its pci id table
list.
Also s626_attach is modified to use now pci_get_subsys instead of
pci_get_device as reported by Ian Abbott, and now we loop over pci id
table entries in case more ids are added in the future.

The main problem here is that I just cannot see how this could ever
be correct:
usb_fill_bulk_urb(pdx->PixelUrb[frameInfo][i], pdx->udev, epAddr,
(dma_addr_t *) sg_dma_address(&pdx->sgl[frameInfo][i]),
sg_dma_len(&pdx->sgl[frameInfo][i]),
You cannot take a DMA address, cast it to a _pointer to_ a DMA address,
and then regard it as a virtual address of the transfer buffer.
However, finding the right virtual address was too hard for me,
so I just stubbed it with NULL. At least usbmon won't oops then
(it will not show any data but it's better than crashing).
Also, too big a buffer was allocated elsewhere.
And since we're at it, drop clearly unnecessary usb_buffer_alloc too,
leaving it where it may be useful.

The existing code had the following race:
Thread-1 Thread-2
inc/read in_use
inc/read in_use
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
inc tx_free_list[qos].len
The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going
to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many
times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while
its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is
overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid
checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets).
If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or
ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream.
The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location
(a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync
with itself.
We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time.
If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference.
The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot
claim the same buffers.
