The kallsyms routines (module_symbol_name, lookup_module_* etc) disable
preemption to walk the modules rather than taking the module_mutex:
this is because they are used for symbol resolution during oopses.
This works because there are synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu()
in the unload and failure paths. However, there's one case which doesn't
have that: the normal case where module loading succeeds, and we free
the init section.
We don't want a synchronize_rcu() there, because it would slow down
module loading: this bug was introduced in 2009 to speed module
loading in the first place.
Thus, we want to do the free in an RCU callback. We do this in the
simplest possible way by allocating a new rcu_head: if we put it in
the module structure we'd have to worry about that getting freed.

I rebased Kees' 'param: do not set store func without write perm'
on top of my 'params: cleanup sysfs allocation'. However, my patch
uses krealloc which doesn't zero memory, leaving .store unset.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
"Thre stable fixes and one fix for a regression introduced during 3.19
merge:
- Fix inability to discard used space when the thin-pool target is in
out-of-data-space mode and also transition the thin-pool back to
write mode once free space is made available.
- Fix DM core bio-based end_io bug that prevented proper
post-processing of the error code returned from the block layer.
- Fix crash in DM thin-pool due to thin device being added to the
pool's active_thins list before properly initializing the thin
device's refcount"

Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
"kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data
structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
warning is emitted. The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.
This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
non-scalar types"

- Allow target fabric drivers to function as built-in. (Roland)
- Fix tcm_loop multi-TPG endpoint nexus bug. (Hannes)
- Move per device config_item_type into se_subsystem_api, allowing
configfs attributes to be defined at module_init time. (Jerome +

- Convert existing IBLOCK/FILEIO/RAMDISK/PSCSI/TCMU drivers to use
external configfs attributes. (nab)
- A number of iser-target fixes related to active session + network
portal shutdown stability during extended stress testing. (Sagi +
Slava)
- Dynamic allocation of T10-PI contexts for iser-target, fixing a
potentially bogus iscsi_np->tpg_np pointer reference in >= v3.14

- iser-target performance + scalability improvements. (Sagi)

compliance. (Ilias + James + nab)
- Avoid potential short kern_sendmsg() in iscsi-target for now until
Al's conversion to use msghdr iteration is merged post -rc1.

Also, Sagi has requested a number of iser-target patches (9) that
address stability issues he's encountered during extended stress
testing be considered for v3.10.y + v3.14.y code. Given the amount of
LOC involved, it will certainly require extra backporting effort.
