drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced in initializer 'cmd'
drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c +1365 scsi_kill_request(9) warning: variable derefenced before check 'cmd'
We dereference cmd (and possible OOPS if cmd == NULL) before starting the
request so just remove the superfluous debugging code altogether.
[ bart: the potential NULL pointer dereference was finally fixed in
(much later than mine) commit 03b1470 but my patch is still valid ]

If the NULL test on dev->i2o_dev or i2o_dev is needed, then the dereference
should be after the NULL test.
A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this problem is as
follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;
@@
* x->fld
... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL

At the point where cmnd is initialized, it is tested for NULL, so it
doesn't have to be tested again here.

So wait.h has a dependency on sched.h, but doesn't include sched.h. This
patch doesn't fix that.

As pointed out by Jiri Slaby: when I resolved the the 32-bit x85 system
call entry tables for prlimit (due to the conflict with fanotify), I
forgot to add the numbering in comments that we do for every fifth entry.

'make htmldocs' has a fatal error when processing libata.xml, as seen
below. The string "Example patterns:" (or any string with "example.*:"
in it AFAIK) causes some part of the doc generation tool chain to try to
produce an <informalexample> block without a beginning <para>, but
there is an ending </para> generated, which throws things out of kilter.
I don't even know where (what program) this is happening in.
I searched in docproc and xmlto and in some XML stylesheets without
finding anything. If anyone can give me pointers about this, please do.
Until this is fixed, let's just spell "Example" as "Sample"
and match up the double quotation marks while there.

It's currently possible to bypass xattr namespace access rules by
prefixing valid xattr names with "os2.", since the os2 namespace stores
extended attributes in a legacy format with no prefix.
This patch adds checking to deny access to any valid namespace prefix
following "os2.".
